1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast didn't come here to make friends.

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the League Podcast. Up,

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Greg Rosen thowing, I'm here with a couple of heroes

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: in Culver City and a couple of heroes in New

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: York Chris Westling, Kevin Patra, Dan Handas, and Mark Sessler

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: from a hotel room in Midtown Manhattan. What is happening? Um?

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: That was a crude fact simile of what a true

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: open should be for the podcast. Look, I don't need

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: your backseat driving Dan from New York. I'm doing the

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: best that I can and I'm trying to bring the

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: energy here because we are taping this after one in

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the morning East Coast time. We've been writing all day.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Get excited. Yes, it's very early in the morning in

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: New York. But as I just tweeted, I am writing

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: a contact high off Mark Sessler, who this is one

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: of the greatest nights of his life. I can honestly

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: say it an amazing opening night of the NFL Draft,

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and it's all about Johnny Football and the Cleveland Browns

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: and Marks Glory. He's like a pregnant woman. I do

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: feel like a woman who is about to give birth.

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: I will say that for the last forty minutes, Dan

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: and I have been blasting Steve Winwood in our hotel room.

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Take from that what you will. That's music. It was

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: part of it. It was partly done in honor of you, West,

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: but also just like it felt like we needed some

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: celebration music while we waited in this hotel room in

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan. And you know, I it was really it

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: was quite a trip being at Radio City for that

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: because we you know you you tell us, Greg, how

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: do you want to get into this? Because I have

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts about the man's l situation, because

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: that to me seems like the big sigh as mcmove

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: that we've been waiting for the Browns to make for

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: fifteen years and they finally did it. Well, Mark can't

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: talk about it because you tweeted right after the trade

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: that he floated out of the building. I know it

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: was immediately, you know, a high octane post was assigned

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: to me. So I was clamped down typing in a

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: seat that would have been better watching a film in

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: that These seats of Radio City are just large, plush

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: that my couches. But I will say this Wesley and

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: I think you tweeted this early that it already in

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: the first four picks or so. This year's draft had

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: more drama than anything we saw a year ago, And

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: that is exactly true. The manzil B line and the

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: drop throughout until Cleveland picked him. This was Radio City

47
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: was on fire tonight. Well, Mark, Mark wasn't there when

48
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Eric Fisher went off the board in two K thirteen

49
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: and blew the roof? It wasn't It wasn't Fisher. It

50
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: was the Fisher Joe goal combination and just trying to

51
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: recover from that. Three tackles in the first four picks.

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: There's no other place to start than than Johnny Manzel.

53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: What was what were you feeling? Mark? As Manzel was

54
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: following falling. You know, the Browns had already traded down

55
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: in the first round to number nine, then they moved

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: back up to eight. Where are you at that point

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: while they're on the clock at eight, I did not.

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I was stunned that at that point they took a cornerback.

59
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I found that to be It was an interesting move

60
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: by Farmer, But it brings me back to everything they

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: said coming into this draft. They actually spoke the truth,

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: they didn't want one of these quarterbacks at number four.

63
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: And at that point I thought it was a lost

64
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: cause because someone else, that's especially Minnesota, I thought, would

65
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: swoop in and make this move. And I thought, well,

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: you know what they're they watched the tape. They're not

67
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: into Johnny football. And the fact that he came an

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: own to them. Uh, there was a lot of drama

69
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: there because you're watching teams like the Eagles, Uh could

70
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: they could he go there? And I thought if he

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: goes past Philadelphia, would Cincinnati decide maybe to take him?

72
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: And all these teams were the Cowboys, well the Cowboys

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: of course, all these teams with veterans in place, decided

74
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: not to rock their depth chart with that move. And

75
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: so it was very dramatic how it played out, and

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: it was it was the you know, I've gotten, I've

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: gotten to go to the last three drafts. This is

78
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: by far the best kind of vibe in the building.

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: Uh when because Manzel kind of hung over the whole thing.

80
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Once Clowney comes off the board at number one, and

81
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 1: instantly it was it was kind of like the Manzel Show.

82
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: And it's funny when the Browns traded and then passed

83
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: on him with the first pick. Um. You know, Mark

84
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: was very downtrodden, but it was such an interesting draft

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: that it wasn't over yet because every pick the home

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: than the air. Who was going to take Manzel? And

87
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: then when it came back to the Browns and they

88
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: traded up with it was the Eagles, I believe, right, yeah,

89
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: and and and on the Eagles thing. I found that

90
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: to be the interesting footnote of the night, that the

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: chip Kelly situation in Cleveland was obviously egg on the

92
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: face of that organization and it really kind of cemented

93
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: them as a laughing stock. And then bang, it's through

94
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles that they who I really thought that is

95
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: chip Kelly type quarterback. That's how they get it done

96
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: by outbidding the Vikings. I don't know. It was Ballsy

97
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: and Ray I think the winner of the night for me.

98
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: And I'm saying it's literally not as a Browns fan,

99
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of doubts and questions about

100
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: if Ray Farmer was just a guy in there and

101
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: Housing was controlling the whole thing. I thought Ray Farmer

102
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: did a nice job tonight. Well, so I mean he

103
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: wanted Manzel, Well, he picks up the first round in

104
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the fourth round pick from the Bills next year too.

105
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: It's an unbelievable night for the Browns and their fans,

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: and it makes me wonder, are they I know it's early,

107
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: but it's Manziel and whatever. Isn't this a team that

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: could contend with Manzel right away? That's something that I

109
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: even though I got hung up with the Cowboys and

110
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: it cost me a lot of sandwiches tonight, I will

111
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: I feel. I feel okay with how it turned out

112
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: because I had Mr Mike Mayack on my side. You know,

113
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: he was still on the board at sixteen when the

114
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys passed. But what I always felt from the start personally,

115
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: and I think obviously Mark was on the same page

116
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: two was that Manzel and the Browns were the perfect team.

117
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: It was the perfect setup. And you know, I just

118
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 1: think that this is a situation that this franchise needed

119
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: a seismic moment, a big move, and this is they

120
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: made the move today. You know, you talk about seismic movement.

121
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: Mark and I have been following sports for over thirty

122
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: years now, and there's one golden role I've picked up.

123
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: If you have a chance to get a uniquely gifted

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: player who not only has the chance to alter the

125
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: course of your franchise, but can also galvanize the whole area,

126
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the city, the state. You have to take a chance

127
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: on that. This is what sports teams fail over and

128
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: over again. And when you don't take a chance on that,

129
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: you lose jobs. As Greg likes to say, great quarterbacks

130
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: don't transford. Don't just transform franchises, They transformed lives. Jobs

131
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: are saved. You get a new addition on your house,

132
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: you up grade to a bigger house, your GM stays

133
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: in place for a few more years. This is the

134
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: kind of move that could be And to that point,

135
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to that the way I look at it too, it's like,

136
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: if you get the right quarterback, you can redo that foyer. Well, no,

137
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: to bolster that point. Uh, we found out twenty five

138
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: minutes after they drafted Manziel the Browns had two hundred

139
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: new season tickets bought and three hundred renewals, So it's

140
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: five d tickets sold in twenty five minutes after he

141
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: drafted him. And my question after that, it is that

142
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: gonna pressure them to start him? Because Petton said today

143
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: he didn't have to start. But is the st yeah,

144
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: he said, I don't disagree with that. He said that

145
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: after the draft that it hasn't changed his mind that

146
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't want a rookie quarterback to start. So yeah,

147
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: good luck with that, Brian Hoyer. You're coming off a

148
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: tour n A c L. You have Johnny Football behind you.

149
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: The whole town's gonna want Manziel to play. I don't

150
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: see how that's gonna last for too long. Vince Young

151
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: can't catch a break. Guys. The collateral damage that is,

152
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, part of the whole story. And we're not

153
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna spend the whole show on Manzel, but we are

154
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: going to be talking the whole offseason, the whole season

155
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: about it. So well, I don't mind diving into it.

156
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Is the Minnesota Vikings angle. I mean, all the teams

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: that passed on Manzel, including the Browns, but there was

158
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: only one team that wanted Manziel enough to trade back

159
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: up for him, and that was Minnesota are Albert Brier

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: ports that they tried to trade up to twenty two

161
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: and take Manzel there, and Jay Glazer also reports uh

162
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: at one point they thought they had a deal done.

163
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: So in that one moment when Ray Farmer I mean

164
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: it's I guess it's out of the movie. I haven't

165
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: seen the movie, but I mean it's the drama of

166
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: a movie. In that one moment where the Browns are

167
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: calling and they have the top Minnesota's offer, everything changes.

168
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: We could be talking about a depressed Mark Sessler right now,

169
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: and all those season tickets could be going to Minnesota.

170
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: And I think Minnesota recovered very well by getting Teddy Bridgewater.

171
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: But man, that is a franchise altering seismic what phone

172
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: calls and think about that situation. Now you're gonna have

173
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: something we're gonna be tracking the next couple of years

174
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: is how that all shook out. And the Vikings go

175
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: and they do trade back into the first round and

176
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: then they get Teddy Bridgewater at thirty. Johnny Manziel goes

177
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: to the Browns a two. So we're gonna see how

178
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: that works out for those two teams and always be

179
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: a what if game if one of the guy's bombs

180
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: and one of the guys does very well. I mean,

181
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really gonna be fascinating to watch. You

182
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: don't think that Howie Roseman was the one that made

183
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: the call to the Browns knowing that they would want, hey,

184
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: we have this, you have you have another first round

185
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: pick that we might rather trade there than to get

186
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: the second rounder from the Vikings. I think it was

187
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles that might have been gone to the Browns

188
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: and said, hey, by the way, we know you want Manzel,

189
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: but we got the Vikings on the other line. Had

190
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: to be a two a street there. And the Eagles,

191
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: who kind of you know, they threw some things out

192
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: there that maybe they might be interested me that they

193
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: trade down and the end up taking a guy that

194
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: no one except for Daniel Jeremiah has ever heard of,

195
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Smith, who no one had in the first round

196
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: except for DJ. So kudos to DJ, and kudos to

197
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Smith for somehow making it into this podcast. You know,

198
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: one thing like Cleveland has in recent history used that

199
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: pick to go quarterback Brady Quinn, Brandon weedon too, Maths

200
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: and mrs. So they're hoping this one's a little bit different.

201
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: And and the reality is, when we look at the draft,

202
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: we pick our winners tonight in mind and spirit. But

203
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: reality is a lot of people felt that Teddy Bridgewater

204
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: was the more pro ready quarterback. I think it's gonna

205
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: be very fascinating to see how it's a It's good

206
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: for Manzel that he went somewhere with a coordinator with

207
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: some experience on how to use an unorthodox, as Wesley

208
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: would say, uniquely gifted guy. I like the fit there.

209
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Had he gone to Minnesota with Norv Turner, I'm not

210
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: sure that would have been Norv Turner is an excellent

211
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. But but Shannahan's already shown that he can

212
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: work with this type of player, So it's gonna be

213
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Hey, Nov worked with Doug Flutie. You're

214
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: right about that. Jim Trotter did today say though that

215
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: he that that nor didn't really like the flute's old

216
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: pocket pist. I can't believe that Mark is bringing up

217
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Weeden and Brady Quinn on the night that you got

218
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: man This is the kind be honest. This has got

219
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: to be the closest thing to a playoff win in

220
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: a in a long time. Just don't even bring harshing

221
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: the buzz. I don't like it. By the way, the

222
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: notorious DP Handsome Hank shot down my factory of Gladness

223
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: headline on the NFL dot com landing Tragic, which I

224
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: had called weeks ago, and everyone in the building seemed

225
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: to think it was a good one, and I was

226
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: very proud of myself and excited. If I wasn't gonna

227
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: get sandwiches from the Cowboys, I was going to get

228
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: that headline. Didn't get it. What was the reason behind that,

229
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also shot down my suggestion that Dan

230
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: and I would march out to a co introductory song

231
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: of Enya's Orinoco Flow. Uh. Let's talk about what, in

232
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: most drafts would have been the biggest surprise and one

233
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: of the biggest stories, and that's the Jacksonville Jaguars shocking

234
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people by making Blake Bortles number three.

235
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: And this in all the pre draft speculation and rumors

236
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: and but I mean, almost every possibility is thrown out there,

237
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: and then you know disputed. I can't remember anyone saying

238
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Bordles to the Jaguars. And this is David Caldwell, their

239
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: general manager, basically putting it out there. He's putting his

240
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: job on line saying Bordles. I I'm riding with Blake

241
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, that's my career. This one kind of gives

242
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: me the willie. I wouldn't be too excited. I don't

243
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: know when I saw comparisons in January and February of

244
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles to blame Gabber. There's also been comparisons to

245
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger as well and Jake Locker, and maybe there's

246
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: a selling seats factor there these This is definitely not

247
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: the name. Maybe they just didn't know Florida he's a quarterback.

248
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what I mean, they don't.

249
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: It's not like they have a bad track record with

250
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: guys with stupid Dame. Uh. They have drafted three quarterbacks

251
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: now in the top ten in their franchise history, Byron Leftwood's,

252
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert's Blaine Gabbett rather and uh, here comes Blake Borders.

253
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: The difference between Bordles and Manzel and Bridgewater is, first

254
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: of all, there's a little less pressure on the other

255
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: two guys because they were taken later, although I don't

256
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: think that ultimately matters so much. The bigger thing is

257
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Vikings have some talent on offense

258
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: around it. You have Joe Thomas, and you have Jordan Cameron,

259
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: and you have Josh Gordon for Manzel, and then in

260
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota of Adrian Peterson and Cordurell Patterson and Kyle Rudolph

261
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: and Greg Jennings aren't bad. And then you look at Jacksonville.

262
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: That's not a situation where I feel like he's really

263
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: set up to succeed and they're gonna have to play

264
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: him right away. We're also seeing Jacksonville is a team

265
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: that's potentially going in the right direction. You know, this

266
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: isn't This isn't Gabbett again in a situation where he's

267
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: going to a flatline franchise. There's some hope in Jacksonville

268
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: as well. Well, I'm trying to get rid of that hope.

269
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: It all rides, It all rides on Blake Bortles Shorters. Now,

270
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're just missing Chad Henny. They only tragedy.

271
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Did you know They've only drafted five players in the

272
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: history of their franchise, five quarterbacks in the history of

273
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: the franchise left Wich Bortles, Gabert, Rob Johnson, and Jonathan Quinn.

274
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna throw out Quinn Gray, but I guess

275
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't drafted drafted, So I mean, Cecily, you're you're

276
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: a big call Dwell and Gus Bradley believer. Does this

277
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: change your feelings? Are you now going to root against

278
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles because he's essentially a competitor of Johnny Manziel

279
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: in this rookie quarterback thing. No, I'm not sure that

280
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: that has a lot of traction with me. I mean,

281
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I I found the pick odd as well, And I

282
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: wonder if if Jacksonville ultimately would like to depending you know,

283
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: everyone says, oh, Gus Bradley is coming out of the

284
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: Seattle system with nothing but those that the way that

285
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: team was built in his mind. But I wonder if

286
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: they want to be more of a run heavy type offense.

287
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: The one thing about Bortles is and I think there's

288
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of his size and his trades,

289
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like potentially, But they've talked about

290
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: him a couple of times as someone that is just

291
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: not ready for the overall past of being a starting quarterback.

292
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: He needs time, and so maybe when they talked about

293
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: Henny there was a half truth that a we're obviously

294
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: not sold on this guy. No one's buying that, but

295
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe do you feel like you really have to start

296
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: Bortles right away. I wonder if that's the case, me

297
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: is your number three picks, So I kind of agree

298
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: with that. I'm not sure if they believe they have

299
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: to right away. To go back to Greg's point, I'm

300
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: not sure that Bortles has more pressure than Johnny Manziel.

301
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't really think so. I think with the person

302
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: that Manzel is, I think he's putting pressure on himself.

303
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: That's who we're talking about today, We're not you know,

304
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Bortles was the second one. I think because of where

305
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is in relation to the histories of the two franchises.

306
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: I think Johnny Manziel has much more pressure on him

307
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: than like Blake Bortles, who everyone could forget and nobody

308
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: would go, nobody would worry about it. So those are

309
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: the three quarterbacks that were taken. And Derek Carr still

310
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: sitting on the board as we tape this going into

311
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: day two and we're gonna get to our go get

312
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: my lunch bets just a little bit later. That last

313
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: part was supposed to be imployed. Yeah, I forgot about that. Uh,

314
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm not really excited about revealing these standings. Uh, that'll

315
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: give away at least my position in the stands. We'll

316
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: talk about that later, but I think we should talk

317
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: about the other biggest move of the day, which was

318
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: the Bills trading up for Sammy Watkins. And like Mark

319
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: Sessler said, man Ray Farmer comes out looking good in this.

320
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: He picks up Buffalo's first round pick next year and

321
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: their fourth round pick, and Buffalo moves up only five

322
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: spots to get Sammy Watkins. Maybe Stevie Johnson is on

323
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: the trade block. Now what do we think of this move?

324
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: It's a huge gamble. I mean, essentially Doug Whaley saying,

325
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: I think this guy is gonna be the next Calvin Johnson.

326
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: So I'm giving you my first rounder next year because

327
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: I think he's the difference to get us getting to

328
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: compete in the NFC East. I think that's what he's saying.

329
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: With what with what the trade that he made. I'm

330
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: not wild about it because I don't believe any j Manuel.

331
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: But I guess credit to them for stacking their offense

332
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: with as many weapons as possible because they believe any

333
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: j Manuel. But like I said, I just I don't

334
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give up the future, and they gave up

335
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: a part of their future to bank on e J. Manuel. Yeah,

336
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: it's all like it called Wells. One guy that's suddenly

337
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: he put his name up there is I'm I'm attached

338
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: to a player, and if this doesn't work out I

339
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: might not be in Jacksonville in a couple of years

340
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: from now. I see the same thing with the Bills

341
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: here because this was an expensive, costly trade and it's

342
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: if this doesn't work, Annie J. Manuel continues to not

343
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: thrill that coach and that GM have a lot of

344
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: explaining to do. Well. One thing I'll say though, about

345
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: that West to your point that maybe it's tempered by

346
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. Let's say you're right West and and

347
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: you're feeling and a lot of people feeling that maybe

348
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: e J. Manniel is not the guy. He has a

349
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: bad season, maybe he gets hurt again, maybe he gets benched,

350
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: and they go down the tubes. They'll go and get

351
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback next year, And they have not in the

352
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: first round a quarterback, the dynamic young wide receiver locked

353
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: in for the next four years at least and maybe

354
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: the five. So it's not it's not necessarily a win

355
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: now situation. The yeah, they can pick up Chad Henny,

356
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: they can't get a quarterback in the first round next

357
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: year because the Browns hold that pick. Yeah, this isn't

358
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: the problem. This isn't like theirs. The when the forty

359
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Niners or the Saints give away a first round pick

360
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: for next year and you figure out that's going to

361
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: be in the mid twenties. Is the Bills and this

362
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: this could be the fourth pick, right, this could be

363
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins trading away you know, their picks and it

364
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: winds up being in the top two or something like that.

365
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills have had no track record of success,

366
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a hard decision for me to

367
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: understand to give up a pick that high for a

368
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver, especially maybe you just feel like you need

369
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna be able to catch a pass

370
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: that's fifteen yards overthrown and Sammy Watkins is the only

371
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: guy that could possibly do that. Wow, it doesn't feel

372
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: quite right to me that Cleveland Browns fans will be

373
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: rooting hard for Buffalo Bills fans to be unhappy. It's

374
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: like those two fan bases should kind of have some solidarity.

375
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: But if you're a Brown fan, you you you want

376
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: to builds to go down to flames, drop it two

377
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: and fourteen on him, a lot of anti EJ manual sentiments.

378
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: It's too bad because actually it is a moment that

379
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans are going to get excited about. I mean,

380
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: they are getting Sammy Watkins. They are getting what we

381
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: all well, West disagreed. You thought Mike Evans was the

382
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: best wide receiver in this class, but for the most

383
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: inspired people thought Watkins was one of the best wide

384
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: receiver prospects in a while. And it is an exciting

385
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: offense on paper. They they have everything but the quarterback.

386
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: I guess that's what I'm so frustrated about. If they

387
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: just had a veteran, even a Michael Vick type to

388
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: go along with c J. Spiller and Fred Jackson and

389
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: all of these receivers that have so much talent and

390
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: Cordy Glennett left tackle, then you get excited. But it

391
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: just almost doesn't all add up With d J. Manuel.

392
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: I was surprised because, and I guess it's just all

393
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: smoke screen. But what the way Whaley talked about Evans,

394
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: and I'm in West's camp in terms of seeing Evans

395
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: as a guy that I like Evans more, and I

396
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: thought that Whaley did too, because he talked about him

397
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: as a receiver that they don't have on that team,

398
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: a dimension they don't have. Maybe what he was saying was,

399
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: we never think Watkins will be there for us, but

400
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: if we're gonna trade up, it might be for Evans instead.

401
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: But I was surprised that actually which wide receiver they picked.

402
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: All right, so now we've we've gone over the quarterbacks,

403
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: we've gone over the big wide receiver trade. Maybe let's uh,

404
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: I would say, go around the room, but we're separated

405
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: by an entire country right now. Let's just go around

406
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: the group. Let's go around America, and let's pick some

407
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: of our favorite picks of the night, just the ones

408
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: that struck your fancy and you like them. Let's start

409
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: with Kevin Patrick coming at you. I'm gonna go to

410
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the end of the first round. And I really like

411
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: the Bradley Roby pick by the Broncos. I think he

412
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: fills a need. I think at that spot where he

413
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: they got him, I think it's a huge deal. He

414
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: was talked about being one of the upper middle cornerbacks taken,

415
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: and if it wasn't for average gear last year where

416
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: he blown some coverage I think he could be a

417
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: difference maker a couple of years down the road when

418
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: they're looking to get rid of it to Leave's contract.

419
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: I think that could be huge for them. But let's

420
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: be honest, a fifty two year old Reggie Roby would

421
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: have been a more optimal selection at that point. Move. Wait,

422
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: is that's what they took. My brother Phil lives in

423
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: Columbus and is a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Uh.

424
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: He was just telling me the other day that Bradley

425
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Roby got toasted way too often last year. Do he

426
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: was really good as a sophomore. If you look at

427
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: got burnt quite a bit last year. I thought you're

428
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: gonna say he was a Reggie Roby fan, or that

429
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: he was Reggie Roby. All the Wesleyans are Reggie Roby fans.

430
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to New York for this next one. Mark,

431
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: give me a pick. You liked the pick? I thought

432
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: I liked the Raiders going with Khalil Mack. I mean,

433
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: I this is a guy that Greg coast Sell said

434
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: a best player in the draft, best defender, and the

435
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: Raiders have used the offseason to add like fifteen guys

436
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: who are about to turn forty, so that I gotta

437
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: look beyond potentially two thousand and sixteen and a roster

438
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: that will have two people on it at that point

439
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: for Oakland. So I like this guy. I think I

440
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: think Mac is a is potentially a guy that you

441
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: can anchor that defense around for the next seven eight years.

442
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: It's it was, it's it's maybe one of the safer moves.

443
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: And nice job by mackenzie. Hey, Reggie Mackenzie now has

444
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: one blue chip player on his roster. There you go.

445
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: You gotta give him credit that he didn't go after

446
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: an over thirty guy in the first round of the draft.

447
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's fair, Fred, and we did not in

448
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: the draft now that is it did work out well

449
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: for them with with Blake Bortles going three, essentially that

450
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: Mac fell further. I mean a lot of people liked

451
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: Mac over Clowney. You're right. If you look at that roster,

452
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: they have no one that's just hey, that's a franchise

453
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: type of guy, and they got a guy. If Cleo

454
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: Max in this draft last year, he probably goes number

455
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: one overall. That's a classic move too, and fantasy draft too.

456
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: When you're you know, you're kind of buried a little

457
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: further back in the first round, and then some idiot

458
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: takes Steven Jackson fourth overall, and it changes everything, and

459
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: it puts you in play for somebody that you have

460
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: no business being in play for. So good on you, Reggie.

461
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: Way to go, h Raiders. Let's let's stick with you Dan.

462
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Then let's uh, let's get a pick from you. Like Well,

463
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: first of all, I just want to tell you Greg,

464
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm remarkably tired right now. I just want to get

465
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: that out there. It doesn't mean we're gonna shorten the

466
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: show up if that's what you're trying to tell me, sublimity,

467
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: We're going two hours eisenstyle tonight. Uh No. I liked

468
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: a lot the Giants. I think they probably really wanted

469
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron who went to the Lions at ten. That

470
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: was another pick I liked. But they stuck to their plan,

471
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: and I think they it was important to them, uh

472
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: to not only show their you know, their belief in

473
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: Eli who I you know, they still believe can play

474
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: despite that bad year. They go and they get Odell Beckham,

475
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: a playmaker that allows you to not put so much

476
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: pressure on Reuben Randalls. So now you have a nice Beckham,

477
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz Randall threesome there. Well, let's say Troy Dan

478
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: is starting to fall apart here, Yes, And I think

479
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: you know that gives Eli a nice team to work with.

480
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: And if ELI bombs out again with this supporting cast,

481
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: then you really have to ask a lot of questions.

482
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: So the Keen Knicks has been successfully replaced in my mind,

483
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: and I think that was an important move that the

484
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: Giants need to make. I don't know if Beckham is

485
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: an outside the numbers receiver like a Keem Knicks down

486
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: the field. He's more of a guy who was explosive

487
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, cuts dynamically, kind of

488
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: a different guy than Hakeem Nicks. And I wonder how

489
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: I wonder if that really addresses the need they have.

490
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: I was surprised to see that wider. I mean, I

491
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: wasn't surprised that they passed on Johnny Manzel. Of all

492
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: the random rumors that came today, that just seemed so

493
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: much like a smoke screen that the Giants and Manzel

494
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: seemed to really stick out. Uh, it was surprising to

495
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: me that they went for receiver. They're considering all their

496
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: defensive needs. Well, the Hey, Dan, we're just we're just

497
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: trying to pick you apart. Sorry, I'm getting crank. When

498
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz asked for a shiny toy, you give it

499
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: to him. I thought he has for a big one

500
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: though that's true, not right. Maybe the receiver they picked

501
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: as a surprise, but you still live with Victor Cruz talked,

502
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: you know West who you got. I'm going with two

503
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: different players here, one on offense, one on defense. Now

504
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: we can give a couple. Why not one on offense,

505
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 1: one on defense, and both essentially reversed father time for

506
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: their units. I love Ryan shas There, the highest state

507
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: linebacker who I think looks like the best, the fastest

508
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: linebacker on film since Brian or Locker came into the

509
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: league as a safety, wide receiver kick returner out of

510
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: New Mexico. Shas Here is awesome. You you pair him

511
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: with Lawrence Timmins. Now you have a linebacking corps which

512
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of question marks last last year. You

513
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: have World and Jones on the outside. Now you have

514
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: arguably the most dynamic interior your duo in the NFL.

515
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: With Bowman coming back from multiple knee surgery for the

516
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: forty Niners, maybe the Steelers are up there and then

517
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: easy They're easy. Steers team is going down in Week one.

518
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I mean you just said they might

519
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: be better than Booman and Willis, who have a chance

520
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: to both make the Hall of Fame. Bowman playing on

521
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: one leg. Now, all right, okay, Well let's go to Saints.

522
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: Then they had an aging wide receiver corps of Drew Brees.

523
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: Completions last year went to tight ends and running backs.

524
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: It was basically Marcus Colston and no one else. They

525
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: pick up Brandon Cooks, the fastest wide receiver in the draft.

526
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: Prototypical slot receiver, plays a little bit like de Sean Jackson.

527
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: I love this pick. He's kind of like Tavon Austin,

528
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: except Sean Payton will know what to do with him,

529
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: whereas Schottenheimn doesn't know what to do with Tavon. I

530
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: do like him playing on that turf and that dome too.

531
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: That's perfect for him. I don't know about Sean Payton's

532
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: history of drafting receivers, though, they haven't really found guys

533
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: that are high profile wide receivers. Deverie Henderson was a

534
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: high second round pick. Robert Meetchum was the first round

535
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: pick and been able to integrate them into the offense.

536
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: I didn't like any of those players coming out. That's

537
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: that's the difference. They really need to find some players

538
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: that are core young players because they've been kind of

539
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: riding these same guys Marcus Colston and Pierre Thomas and

540
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Lance Moore is gone now and just they haven't really

541
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: found any of those diamonds in the rough for good

542
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: new offensive pieces in a while. I'm gonna rightly concern

543
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: because Dan is falling asleep on my bed in my

544
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: hotel room. Really, what what is the scene there? Is

545
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Steve winwould still playing? Or well, no, actually it hasn't

546
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: been all Winwood. Um, we actually listened to Draft Day

547
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: by Drake which Gold Center. Can you play a little

548
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: clip of that right here? Just given instructions from across

549
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, drab day, Johnny Manzel five years later,

550
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: how I'm out of mask Stella and uh, you know,

551
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: we got into that a little bit, and then we

552
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: went down a Windwood wormhole and then somehow we got

553
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: to the Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics, and

554
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: that's got a little weird and you know, so it's

555
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: just it's kind of a weird vibe, but it's it

556
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: makes sense because, uh, to to circle back to the

557
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel situation again, I was saying to Mark all week.

558
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: Mark was acting very strange all week about this Manzel

559
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: situation and was overthinking it. Almost was maniacal in his

560
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: behavior at times and obsessive. And I just got the

561
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: feeling that they were going to blow the pick, and

562
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: that was that seemed to be in the air. They

563
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: weren't gonna get Manzelf. They got him. So it's created

564
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: this this whole different like culture all around Mark. I

565
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: feel like Mark's a different guy now and I'm just

566
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: basking in that and I'm really enjoying it. It's nice

567
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: as a Jets man. My my team drafted a defensive

568
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: player in the first round for the seven consecutive year, um,

569
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited to have a run stuffing safety

570
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: to help score points. And I'm really looking forward to

571
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: see what he can do with Mike Vick and Jino Smith.

572
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: But that kind of Joe Calvin Pryor will make that

573
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: defense even better. But Manzel, don't be That is a

574
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: subplot the Jets Manzel. They would have been completely insane

575
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: for the Jets to draft Johnny Manziel. But I just

576
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 1: I kind of and I wanted the Browns to have

577
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: him all along. But it was something that I was,

578
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, it was almost that's what. He was such

579
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: a unique character in this whole this whole scene, that

580
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: it's so easy to get sucked in and to think

581
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: about having that guy on your team and potentially transforming them.

582
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: And we don't even know if that's actually gonna happen

583
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: with the Browns. And now the Browns have that chance

584
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's been so long since the Jets had

585
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: to transcendent, potentially transcendent type athlete like that. So yeah,

586
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: you get sucked in when he's sitting on the board,

587
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: But when I didn't hear his name, and it's not

588
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: like I was crust fall and it because it made

589
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: more sense. And at Radio City, the Jets fans there,

590
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a mixture of relief and

591
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: kind of sadness, but also it was, you know, it

592
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: was it was too much, it was too much to

593
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: imagine him with the Jets. The circus would have been

594
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: back to town. Well, there was palpable excitement that the

595
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: glacier had actually made the pick in time. Well just

596
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: got it in the you know most of the a

597
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the teams that got with

598
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: a well over you know, two minutes to go, the

599
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: glacier took it down because the glacier doesn't make a

600
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: decision until the glacier decides it's the right time. Well,

601
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: when you're watching Michael Vick, you know, lead the Jets

602
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: to a stirring comeback over the Bills to get the

603
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: Jets record to five and seven, you can be happy

604
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: and and think, hey, that's the guy that we passed

605
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: on Johnny Manzel for one year of Michael Vick. I

606
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: do look forward to the first time Sammy Watkins goes

607
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: over the middle and Calvin Pryor de cleats in and

608
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: you never see the same Sammy Watkins ever again. I

609
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: am looking forward to that. I'm gonna give my favorite

610
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: pick of the rounds to uh the St. Louis Rams,

611
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: even though I wanted them to take a quarterback because

612
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: I just think they're sticking with Sam Bradford too long. Ultimately,

613
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: you have to like the team they're putting together with

614
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald on that defensive line. Donald Michael Brocker's Robert

615
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: Quinn and uh Chris Long is the most insane pass

616
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: rush defensive line in the league right now, and then

617
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: you add Robinson to their offensive line, they should be

618
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: a good running attack. West's banking a face over there.

619
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: I hated their draft. This was I'm gonna take them

620
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: to task. Why well, we talked about passing on uniquely

621
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: gifted players that can change the course of their franchise.

622
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: They pretty much they want to know part of r

623
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: G three, who won Rookie of the Year, galvanized the

624
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: Redskins organization, got that fan base excited twice. They pass

625
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: up on Janny Johnny Manziel. They stick with Sam Bradford,

626
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: who I think might be the least inspiring quarterback in

627
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: the NFL as an eight as an eighteen thirty and

628
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: one record in four years as a starter, has not

629
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: gotten one bit better and looks to me like he's regressed.

630
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: They pick up Aaron Donald. They have Michael Brocker's who

631
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: they drafted in the top ten. They have Kendall Langford,

632
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: who is a really good defensive tackle. They signed Alex

633
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: Carrington as a free agent. They have three defensive tackles

634
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: right there. They don't need Aaron Donald like they need

635
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I like building strength on strength. Who's gonna

636
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: stop that team? Now, since you don't have any quarterback,

637
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: you can just put like twenty two defensive players on

638
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: the field. I'm sure for those seven point four snaps

639
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: a game than Aaron Donald plays, he'll be he'll make

640
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: a great impact. What are you doing? Rams? Come on?

641
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: Well that I didn't really care about that. I don't

642
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: want to watch Sam Bradford play for the Rams again

643
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 1: in that ugly dome, watching that guy overthrows receivers time.

644
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: Come on, I love it, Wesley right now, he he's

645
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: speaking my language. This is just a c poem about

646
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, and I agree with every word of it.

647
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: And and how about the Rams? If nothing else, they

648
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: win the award for the most off the record lies

649
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: of any team. I mean, what team pretends that they're

650
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: more media friendly and it's ultimately snowballing all their buddies

651
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: in the media more than the Rams because all this

652
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: Manzel stuff and the whispers, Oh yeah, they really liked it.

653
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: Was It was like a month long campaign to the

654
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: point just about everyone was on board that this was legitimate.

655
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: Not only did they pass him up at two, but

656
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: they plass him up at thirteen, and then we get

657
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: the reasoning, Wow, they just didn't think Aaron Donald would

658
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: be there, Like, you can't pass that up. We're gonna like, well,

659
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: we like Johnny Manziela has our franchise quarterback, but since

660
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: we didn't see Aaron Donald fall into we can't take

661
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: him defensive lineman. Do you need And by the way,

662
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: and by the way, a message to Mr. High cheekbones

663
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: and flowing Sandy Hair, the general manager of that team,

664
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: let's need you better gotten this right man, because I

665
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: don't think he gets any chances if they if they

666
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: stay in neutral here after passing up all this like

667
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: amazing talent at the top of this draft and going

668
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: down a path that West seems to be of one

669
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: to ruin if if if he's wrong, he's not going

670
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: to get another draft to to and not only will

671
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: that the draft to do this and he'll be elsewhere

672
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: around the street. The ramble of botched one of the

673
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: great golden opportunities of any NFL team has had in

674
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: the last decade. From that that bounty they got for

675
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: r G three, they got this better work out that's

676
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: more half baked than me giving the Rams some love.

677
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they were coming off the worst, literally the

678
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: worst five year run in NFL history, and they've won

679
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: fourteen games the last two years. Less needs going to

680
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: be there for a long time. Doesn't really matter what

681
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: they do this year, there's matters. Greg, your pick has

682
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: not been widely popular with this group. But no, I

683
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: don't even like it. I don't even buy it. I'm

684
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: totally back off it, and I'm not even kidding. There

685
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: have been twenty two men in NFL draft history that

686
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: have been drafted with a combination of two first names

687
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: in their name, Aaron Donald being one of them. None

688
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: of them have lasted more than than three years. She's

689
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: making things up. No One. Ryan had a pretty good

690
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: career in Major League Baseball. Sport that does not love

691
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: the needle on this podcast officially put me to sleep.

692
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: I just put a hex on the Rams there doomed

693
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: to go seven and nine every single year for the

694
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: rest of eternity. I think they would sign they would

695
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: sign up for now we're at the portion of the

696
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: program where Mark is only speaking in lies. I think

697
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: it's time to go over the go get my lunch, topeboards, scoreboard,

698
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: keep that implied, all right, it's an embarrassment, and I

699

Speaker 1: just want to thank our Twitter follower who keeps sending

00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,480

Speaker 1: I love our listeners, by the way, they are great

711
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: humans across the board. I don't even need to do

712
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: any more background checking. They listened to the show and

713
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: they interact with us on social media, and that's good

714
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: enough for me. It really isn't incredible how many people

715
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: were following along, and we loved that you guys were

716
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: really into when Johnny Manzel was on the clock, could

717
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: hands this do the unbelievable and pick up seven sandwiches

718
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: at one moment. It really did raise a lot of

719
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: tension in the room. I was more excited. What did

720
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: you say on Twitter or on over instant message? Dan,

721
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea that was like ago in the

722
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: morning here, Greg, I think you said that it was

723
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: the most exciting moment you've ever had in your life

724
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: by far. That sounds right, and I will tell you that, yeah,

725
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean it really it was something that it almost happened.

726
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm okay with how it played out. And and my

727
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: good buddy Mark out the player anyway, So you know what,

728
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: even though I didn't win my seven sandwiches, I'm okay

729
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: with how it played out. Wait under the radar here

730
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: NFL draft guru Mike Mayock now taking tips from Dan

731
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: Hansas for his draft. That's the victory, that's he they

732
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: perhaps he shouldn't because it didn't work out in this case.

733
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: One Twitter follower told me that exciting night of draft,

734
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: the best part for him that he's ever had in

735
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: the draft, even the dance prediction didn't come true. Was

736
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: how much tension there was leading up to the Cowboys

737
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: pick purely because of Dan's prediction. And don't and don't

738
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: forget about this, just you know, and I didn't get

739
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: it right, So that I cannot gload. But you know

740
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: I was laughed out of the room when I even

741
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: suggested that Manzel will be on the board at sixteen.

742
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: Marcus Porney at himself and shaking his said mark, all right,

743
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: maybe you weren't, but so many other gentlemen, so the

744
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: other heroes, you just think it could even be plausible.

745
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: I still don't. I don't think it was an option.

746
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it was an option. No credit, you

747
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 1: guys thought he would be like the number one tick

748
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It seemed like when I like, how

749
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: to turn this into you being right? The glory, the

750
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: glory of this whole sandwich conversation needs to go to Westling,

751
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: who it doesn't have to pay for a meal for

752
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: roughly the next seven years. Yet, that's right, Chris Wesseling,

753
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: Uh somehow made out with six sandwiches on Thursday night.

754
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: Although this is to be continued, we still have a

755
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: couple sandwich propositions that are hanging for the next couple

756
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: of days. So it really doesn't matter what you are

757
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: after day one, it's what you are after three days.

758
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: But you're feeling pretty good. I can't hear you under

759
00:41:53,840 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: the sound of the sandwich balanche. That was just terribly

760
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: and how long were you practicing that line? I picture

761
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: you like in a in the one of the bathrooms

762
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: at the office, just saying it over and over again

763
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: in the mirror. I pictured me like Scrooge McDuck diving

764
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: through piles of money, except there's sandwiches. I'm guling. Don't

765
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,959
Speaker 1: hope you don't eat Matthew, Greg's daughter will not eat,

766
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: nor will my sons or Dan's child, which is yet

767
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: to be born child will not eat. Well. You just

768
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: you know sandwiches in your contractions. I'm glad it was Westling, though,

769
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: because Dan would have been number one in my power

770
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: rankings for most insufferable if he led You're insufferable now

771
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: and you did, I would have been the absolute worst.

772
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: I would have even hated myself. So it really works

773
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: out ultimately because I didn't, you know, and I couldn't.

774
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: I would not have been able to handle that level

775
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: of success. And the person that I would most want

776
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: to do well in this competition did did quite well,

777
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: and that's Mark Sessler, who is up three sandwiches right now.

778
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: And that's good news for the rest of us, because

779
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: a Mark doesn't like sandwiches, be he doesn't like food

780
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: or meat, So this I don't know what's really going

781
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: to be a part of this. We'll just give you,

782
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: like some fries or a slice of bread. What are

783
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: you gonna have, Mark, I'm I'm gonna order multiple boxes

784
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: of white rice from like a local Chinese house, high

785
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: octane want on soup. That's pretty much what Mark eats.

786
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: And and you know it was a key and and

787
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: it just makes it all the more sweet because it's

788
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: not like Mark picked any good propositions. He had ted

789
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater not getting drafted in the first round was

790
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: wrong and that West was smart to take that sandwich.

791
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: He had bordles to the Vikings and the Browns drafting

792
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: Derek Carr where he lost three sandwiches. But the key

793
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: was that he picked Johnny Manzel. He heads his bets

794
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: with these two things go into the brown So not

795
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: only did did it make your world, but you get

796
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: some sandwiches for it too well. And I've been a

797
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: fan of John Schnyder and Pete Carroll, but they are

798
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: off my list. After allowing the Vikings to sneak back

799
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: into the first round, one of one of the greatest

800
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: things in the newsroom was that last pick. When I

801
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: got traded Greg's Greg just went from elated to like,

802
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: you have got to be kidding me. I lost a

803
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 1: lot of I had sandwiches riding on that that only

804
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks would get taken in the first round, and

805
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: we got to pick thirty two, and the Seahawks were

806
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: on the clock, and then we hear that the Vikings

807
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: traded up and it was all over. And this is

808
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: how West cleaned up. He got sandwiches for me and

809
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: Mark on this one, so that really hurt. I am

810
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: down four sandwiches. I am in last place. Dan is

811
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: down three sandwiches. Bad job by him and the gold

812
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: Standard who stupidly dipped his toe into the big kid pool.

813
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: Wow last as only two sandwich as possible? Hello gold Standard? Sorry, uh,

814
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: I think it's because my back is to you. I

815
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: haven't interacted. Good host appreciate it. So that note on

816
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: gold Standard, by the way, I had two uh young

817
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: women seemed to be under the age of that came

818
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: up to our area of the room and asked about

819
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: him specifically. That's a dirty lie. Your track record of

820
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: lying is off the chart. I thought the lying season

821
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: was over. Now all right? That just about wraps up.

822
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: Do we have any other final thoughts we want to

823
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: throw out there? Any picks that caught you that you

824
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: didn't like, or just moments? Or should we just let

825
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: poor Mark and Dan get to bed. We should talk

826
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: about one last thing. We haven't said a word about

827
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: the first pick in the entire draft. Who did Davian

828
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: Clowney to Devian Clowney? Devian let's go with his real

829
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: name from now on. Sure? I like you say, so

830
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: you do it. Texans passed up a quarterback, but they

831
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: get Clowney to pay with J. J. Watt. That's I mean,

832
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: knocking around some some pretty BADFC South quarterbacks. I like

833
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: it in because and they have the first pick in

834
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: the draft tomorrow, David Carr sitting there something like that

835
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: they could take the quarterback, similar to kind of how

836
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers reformed their their franchise in two thousand one

837
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees taking in the second round after getting

838
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: LT in the first. Yeah, and that that always works

839
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: out well. Taking a car in Houston, Well, agree, is

840
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: brian type quarterback and the best remaining guy. He's also

841
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: the second best car in his family. The first one

842
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: being the biggest quarterback bust in franchise history. Yeah, I

843
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: don't think there's I don't it would be that would

844
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: be so delicious if they took their car. But it

845
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: sounds like there's a good chance they will trade for

846
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett and that would presumably stop them from taking

847
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback that high. Maybe they would still take one

848
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: in the third or the fourth round. But if they

849
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: traded for Mallett, and suppose it was going to be

850
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: for a third round pick, maybe next year, I would

851
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: guess that would be awesome if they have four backup

852
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on their rust. Dan, I don't don't try to

853
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: sigh so loudly that we let you off the hook

854
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: this thing. And I'm watching this in in live, living color,

855
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: and Dan is not in good shape right now. It's

856
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: operations shutdown and fell. Derek Bell, Thanks, it's too you know,

857
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: it's two in the morning. The only difference right now

858
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: is that you would be at the bar drinking at

859
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: two in the morning instead. Well, well, I guess you

860
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: do have a point there, But I do believe that

861
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: Mark and I have pulled the early shift on around

862
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: the league tomorrow, so we're gonna be uprighting, high octane content,

863
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: and I just want to get my shut eye ahead

864
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: of that pencil a moment in my life. I am

865
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: looking forward to everything you do. And thank you guys

866
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 1: for staying up late with us, and congratulations to Mark.

867
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna do winners and losers on the site after

868
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,400
