1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Draft week has finally arrived, and with it more speculation.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show, Paul Calvicy joins me

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: stick and pick or Trade down. There's a lot more

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: noise about the latter what we know as of now,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: plus NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah his comments about Manti Austin Ford.

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode seven forty seven, and it

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: starts now.

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two.

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: Wood to Baker, what Heart?

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: What rent?

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: This guy's unbelievable.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai, proud partner of

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcast. Visit Azycardinals

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: He's at the ten half of five. He's it again

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: some more hurry magic whow Here's craigcriolud.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: So.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Just an absolute tortuous way to start the week. I

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: walk into work this morning, Paul, and what is on

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: the many big screen TVs we have scattered throughout the building.

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: A replay of Super Bowl forty three. Thank you NFL Network.

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: Well, two feet still worned down. I don't care how

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: many times they replay it. San Antonio Holmes only got

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: one fuck down. And yes, I was there on the

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: sideline when James Harrison raced by. Somebody, Please why didn't

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: you tackle him?

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: If nothing else, it's just a fifteen yard pere without

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: penalty and you get ejected. But other than that, you

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: save the touchdown.

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it would have been a permanent band from

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: the NFL, but in hindsight, it probably would have been

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: worth it. You know, take one for the team, Calvic,

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: throw your one hundred and seventy pounds out there and

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: you know, try and try and trip up James Harrison.

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. So yeah, permanent band from the NFL

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: for the rest of my life. But you know what,

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: I never would have had to buy a drink ever

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: again in this town or dinner.

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: There would be in the Lombardi Trophy. That's right here

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals training Center. But not

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: the case. By the way, you were telling me that

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: during that touchdown that maybe wasn't a touchdown, you were

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: on the complete opposite side, like nowhere close to where

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: that was at.

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: No, it was the far far side of the far

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: end zone and Cardinals were on the near side. If

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: you watch a TV broadcast, so yes, I was there,

48
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: and I was still lamenting the Aaron Francisco moment where

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: he fell down and there was a thirty yard chunk

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: play that basically flipped the field. And then two plays

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: later I think was the San Antonio home something like that,

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: So it didn't take Big Ben much time to get

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: down the field. What was equally as frustrating is how

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: often in that game Ben Roethlisberger had defenders just hanging

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: off him, dripping off his jersey, and he's still getting

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: passes off. I mean, he was at his best in

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: that game, in that moment on that final drive, and

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: they have the Lombardi Trophy to show for.

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: It still hurts, all right, That's not the topic of

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: the day here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hyundai,

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Better news ahead, Maybe

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: some future draft picks that will send the Cardinals help

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: to send the Cardinals back to the super Bowl. But

64
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: we are now three days away before the Arizona Cardinals

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: are on the clock with that fourth overall pick. But

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I want to go to someone that holds the fifth

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: overall pick. The Chargers and their general manager late last

68
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: week the annual pre draft media availability toward reporters the

69
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: following quote, we believe we have the first pick in

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: the draft if four quarterbacks go. We believe strongly that

71
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: we have the first pick in the draft. End of quote.

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: What does Joe Hortz know that the rest of us

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: do not? Outside of maybe you, Paul, because you've been

74
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: saying four quarterbacks are going one, two, three, four.

75
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: I believe what they believe and maybe what they're being told.

76
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: How's that for an intro? Is that Manias Aboard doesn't

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: necessarily want to trade out a number four, But I

78
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: believe that some team will make mantiasin fort trade out

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: of number four. As evidence Joe Ortiz, the GM of

80
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: the LA Chargers. I firmly believe that's what he's talking

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: about right there. Some team will come up. Let there

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: be a fourth QB. And whether it's Minnesota, whether it's Denver,

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: who knows what the Raiders are thinking, who knows what

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: the Raiders have to offer, whether it's the Giants at

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: number six. Remind me a little bit later, we'll play

86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: an episode of would you Rather?

87
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: Okay?

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna break down those four possibilities for best

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: case scenarios. Multiple choice here for you, Craig Grielou, and

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: you can tell me what you would prefer, because I

91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: do believe, once again, like Michael Bidwell said about last year,

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: in the war room, they'll shout have spinning plates at

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: the same time, and then you'll have to make a

94
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: decision exactly which offer are you going to opt for?

95
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: And then the question subsequently might be are you gonna

96
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: try and come back up? I wouldn't be shocked if

97
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: there's a repeat of last year the draft strategy, trading out,

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: getting extra assets and then trading back up.

99
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: I think again, based off of a one year sample

100
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: size and just how calm MONI was in the draft room,

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: the ability to trade down, get back on the horn,

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: and move back up to a top ten position or

103
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: top nine, top eight. Certainly you would then get one

104
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: of those you would hope, one of those three generational

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: talents at wide receiver. But the noise surrounding that fourth

106
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: overall pick and the idea that the Cardinals move out

107
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: of it, and I don't think anything's gonna happen between

108
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: now and Thursday. If it does materialize, it's gonna be

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: when Monty Austin Fort and the Arizona Cardinals are on

110
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: the clock to that point. Adam Schefter Wrotes on Monday

111
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: on ESPN dot Com also appeared on the Pat McAfee

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: show Why the Cardinals Are in the catbird Seat and

113
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: After Rights. Austin Ford has told teams around the league

114
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: that have acquired about trading up that he wants to

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: wait until he is in position to pick before agreeing

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: to any trade. In other words, to your point, Paul,

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: waiting for the right offer. Dare I say offers because

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: then you can play teams against one another?

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: Okay, So do you believe anything that has written or

120
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: said this time of year?

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: It does make for a lot of interesting discussion, and

122
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: maybe you believe half of what you read and what

123
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: you hear. And then there was that one one year

124
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: didn't didn't bruce arians basically say what the Cardinals were

125
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: going to do? He did, No one believe him. And

126
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: then that's exactly what right care what year was? Yeah, yeah,

127
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: he used reverse psychology. I'll just let it be known

128
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: what we are going to do. No one will believe

129
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: it anyway, and everyone will dig deeper and think otherwise,

130
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: and so it'll be an effective strategy. To foil the media,

131
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Bruce Arians did with success. Here's

132
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: my thing, why would MANI let that be known that

133
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to wait until I'm on the clock until

134
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: he's trying to force someone to make an offer he

135
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: can't refuse Right now? Am I overthinking? I'm over analyzing? Absolutely?

136
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: Most likely I am.

137
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: However, I'm waiting until we're on the clock, until I'm

138
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: not waiting because you made me an offer that I

139
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: can't refuse. I e three first round picks in the

140
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: Trey Lance deal, which was made a month before the draft.

141
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: Miami traded out a good month or so before they

142
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 3: were ever on the clock. Why because they got three

143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: first round picks and I'm going to take what's in

144
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: the hand instead of what's in the bush. So boom,

145
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: here you go, Mania support letting it be known the

146
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: offers aren't good enough yet for me to trade out

147
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: and execute a deal to move out a number four.

148
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: That's one possibility. The other one is sure you know

149
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: the urgency, you wait for it to really materialize on

150
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: draft night, when teams sober up and realize, oh boy,

151
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: we're gonna go all year with Jared Stidham, we're gonna

152
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: go all year with Sam Darnold. I don't care. I mean,

153
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: there was some Seahawks, you know, chatter here out of

154
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: their press conference that we feel good about Sam Howe. Really. Okay,

155
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: he's younger than bow Knicks. Okay, great, he's got eighteen

156
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: games NFL experience. Okay, your future is not Sam Howe.

157
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: But once again, teams will put these narratives out there

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: to try and let it be known. They don't have

159
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: to do anything that it might be speculated upon. But

160
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: once again, I think it just goes back to common

161
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: sense and when you assess these teams, they have serious

162
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: quarterback needs that need to be addressed immediately.

163
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: We know, least we think we know pretty confident saying

164
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams goes number one of the Chicago Bears. I mean,

165
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,239
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a darn near foregone conclusion unless something.

166
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: Even the Bears are overthinking. Did you see what they

167
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 3: did on his recent visit visit They made him go

168
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: out to with all his teammates, with the prominent players

169
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: in that Bears locker room. So they're even overthinking it,

170
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: overdoing it and trying to figure out, geez, how does

171
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: he relate with his teammates, because we all know the

172
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: Bears track record of taking quarterbacks number one overall isn't

173
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: exactly very stellar, right. I mean, you can go all

174
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: the way back to Jim McMahon, so that they're trying

175
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: to basically game plan against their own draft history.

176
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: And the Bears will use darn near all ten minutes

177
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: allotted to them, because as we saw what happened in

178
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when the Cardinals had the number one overall pick,

179
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: they use darn near all ten minutes. Because it's a

180
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: television show, Paul, and we need the NFL network in

181
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: ESPN and ABC, the talking heads to say what they

182
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: need to say before the Cardinals or in this case,

183
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: the Bears make that announcement.

184
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: By the way, here's the Bears round one quarterback draft

185
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: history in three two one, justin Fields, Mitch Trubisky, Rex Grossman,

186
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: Cade McNown, Jim Harbaugh, and Jim McMahon. Bears quarter taken

187
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: in our lifetime in round one three are.

188
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Still in the NFL. If you include Jim Harbaugh.

189
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: That's fratalized.

190
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: We just got two, that's right, yes, and both are

191
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: backups in the league now.

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: Yes, So you know what. It makes sense, and don't

193
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: blame the Chicago Bears. If they're overthinking every aspect of

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: picking number one overall.

195
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: Then come the Commanders at number two? Is it Jayden Daniels?

196
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: Are we overthinking it? Is it Drake May who many

197
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: people believe was one B two? Caleb Williams is one A.

198
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: Going back to the start of last season. As far

199
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: as the college football season is concerned, I don't think

200
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: the Commanders are going to do anything outside of trading

201
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: or making a pick for a quarterback. That's so one

202
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: and two that you've got two quarterbacks off the board.

203
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: The Patriots do they land on a quarterback or as

204
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus mentioned earlier on Monday, the handful of

205
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: trades that would stun surprise many, and one of them

206
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: was the Patriots not trading but selecting Marvin Harrison. You're

207
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: with that third overall pick and then trying to go

208
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: back into the first round late to capture a quarterback,

209
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: whether that was Bo Nix or Michael Pennix.

210
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 3: So these the rise of sports betting have led to

211
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 3: all these sports betting radio shows. And I heard it

212
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: said recently that the odds of Marvin Harrison junior going

213
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: number three twenty five to one. I had no idea

214
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: you could actually bet on which player goes where in

215
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: the draft at what odds, But twenty five to one,

216
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior goes number three. All right, let's just

217
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: say that happens. Then guess what two quarterbacks followed in

218
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: the number four slot. And I think it just further

219
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: reinforces what at least I believe that someone will make

220
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: up the Cardinals mind for them. What's intriguing to me

221
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: is the best video of this past weekend was Kevin O'Connell,

222
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: the head coach of Minnesota. Did you see this? I

223
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 3: saw that he's in a huge auditorium at a church.

224
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: He's basically having a fireside chat with a moderator, and

225
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: then he took fan questions at the end, and so

226
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: guy piped up with his ultra detail question about breaking

227
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: down the various quarterbacks and their footwork and all this

228
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. And then at the very end, as

229
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: O'Connell engaged this guy, he sort of made the point, look,

230
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: it only takes one team to in his words, be

231
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: complicit in a trade, and you never know, you know.

232
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: And then his fan chimed in with well, what about

233
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: your Patriots connection? I have no idea what his Patriots

234
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: connection is exactly. Maybe he was a backup quarterback for

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 3: the Patriots once upon a time. But Kevin O'Connell's response

236
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: to the fan wasn't I quote, I may or may

237
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: not have sent a nice bouquet of flowers to Robert

238
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: Kraft the other day, and he got a good round

239
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: of laughs from all the Vikings fans in attendance at

240
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: this church event. Very Midwest, it appeared in feeling and vibe. Okay,

241
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: wait a minute, could Minnesota, if they're going to come

242
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: up for a draft pick, could they go past number

243
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: four to number three? And could the draft haul go

244
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: to the Patriots? Maybe? Where was that leave the Cardinals?

245
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: I argue, once again, if the default plan for the

246
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals is to quote settle for Marvin Harrison Junior

247
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: at number four, that's the success bank, Book it and

248
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: move on. That's why the NFL network had this ridiculous question.

249
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: I saw on Friday which team is under more pressure

250
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: on Draft night? This was the graphic and this is

251
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: the question to the roundtable crew on NFL Network, the

252
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: Cardinals or Broncos. Which team is under more pressure on

253
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: Draft night?

254
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: What?

255
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: Wut? What pressure? I mean, if the Cardinals don't trade,

256
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: ostensibly they get Marvin Harrison junior. Hell all, okay, if

257
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: they do trade, then back up the brinks truck. Right,

258
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: Denver needs a franchise quarterback last night.

259
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Check.

260
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: There ain't no more pressure in the NFL for a

261
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: single team than needing that guy at that position? Right?

262
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: Could there be any more pressure this time of year

263
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: than trying to find your franchise quarterbacks? So I'm not

264
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 3: sure what the genesis of the question is. Who came

265
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: up with the criteria for which team is under more

266
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: pressure on Draft night? The Cardinals or Broncos. To me,

267
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: it's not even.

268
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: Close because to your point, the fallback is Marvin Harrison

269
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: junior and the generational talents at wide receiver that you

270
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: believe is going to be the next Larry Fitzgerald. He

271
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: is NFL ready right now coming out of college. So yeah,

272
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: there is the only pressure that the Cardinals have at

273
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: number four? Is okay? To your point, Paul, would you

274
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: rather which of the trade scenarios is good enough? And

275
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: Monni says, okay, yeah, we'll move off that number four

276
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: pick if we have three or four different trade packages

277
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: in front of us. What is the more enticing package?

278
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: Is it to move down to number six to the Giants.

279
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: Perhaps you get a future first but now you still

280
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: have the ability to grab a wide receiver. Is it

281
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: to drop all the way to eleven, twelve or thirteen.

282
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: That's a really steep draft, and you would expect all

283
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: three of the wide receivers now to be off the

284
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: board unless something surprising happens. But you add more draft capital,

285
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: either for this year or years down the road.

286
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: Within the last week or so, in fact, within the

287
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: last half week, Broncos insider Tony Pauline, who's been on

288
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: the inside a lot of Broncos stuff over a lot

289
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: of years, put out there and I'm quoting now. Recent

290
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: word inside the league is that Broncos head coach Sean

291
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: Payton is ready to mortgage the franchise's future to move

292
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: up and select a quarterback. End quote. Any package to

293
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: move up would include at least one future first round pick,

294
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: as well as Patrick Sertan and the number twelve selection

295
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: in this year's draft. Chew on that for a minute,

296
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: number twelve overall twenty twenty five Round one because Denver

297
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: doesn't have much other assets left after the Russell Wilson deal.

298
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: How the GM George Payton is actually still employed by

299
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: the Broncos. I have no idea. And then Patrick Cirtan

300
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: one of the top three corners in the game. Now

301
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: do I think of that as feasible or likely? Considering

302
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: the Broncos just put out a brand new uniform video

303
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: that stars Patrick Curtan. I'm guessing he's They're not considering

304
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: him a trade chip if they're putting him in their

305
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: uniform video.

306
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, and longtime Phoenix Suns fans will

307
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: remember this. When the Phoenix Suns back in the day

308
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: unveiled new uniforms, they had Karan Butler as part of

309
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: their uniform unveiling and I can't remember where the location was. Paul,

310
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: he didn't make it to the regular season. He was

311
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: traded before the season even began, all right, So it

312
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be unheard of. Yeah, as that story pops into

313
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: my head when you talk about that again, it's it's

314
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: the front office versus the marketing department and trying to

315
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: figure out what looks good. But to your point, no,

316
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: it would not. It would not be a good look. Hey,

317
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: because you've got to you would think there'd be some conversation, Hey,

318
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: we've got these new uniforms. We want to feature our

319
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: top talent. Are they going to be here to wear

320
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: these uniforms? Otherwise you get that scenario that the Suns

321
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: did back in the day.

322
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'll just add this, and by

323
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: the way, that was really good knowledge on the Koran Butler.

324
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: You get a double ding on that one. Okay, agree?

325
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,239
Speaker 3: Here here's this is another graphic they threw up an

326
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: NFL network in this discussion that Sean Payton has a

327
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: long track record of trading up in round one to

328
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 3: go after big time talent. Two thousand and nine, these

329
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: are guys who made the Pro Bowl. Okay, two thousand

330
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 3: and nine, he actually went after a punter. Now this

331
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: wasn't for this wasn't round one, but Thomas Moore said

332
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: after that mark ingram. Twenty eleven, he traded up and

333
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: he nabbed. In twenty fourteen, he traded up for Brandon Cooks.

334
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: In twenty seventeen, he traded up and drafted Alvin Kamara.

335
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: Right.

336
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: In twenty nineteen, he went after a CJ. Gardner Johnson

337
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 3: traded up and made that pick, and then last year

338
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: with the Broncos, they traded up and took Marvin Mims Junior.

339
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: So these are all notable players picked after trading up

340
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 3: on teams coached by Sean Payton, who I don't think

341
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: anyone disputes is the decision maker in Denver for reported

342
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: eighteen million per year, whatever he's getting for the Broncos

343
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 3: to be the guy. So in that regard, I firmly

344
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: believe the Denver Broncos are in play for number four overall.

345
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 3: Now will they give many assa Ford an offer he

346
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: can't refuse, will they exceed what Minnesota is able to offer,

347
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: or maybe the New York Giants, which are enticing in

348
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: their own right because you only fall to number six.

349
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: They're also draft scenarios out there. So once again, this

350
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: is all part of the final days before the draft.

351
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna throw all this in a little bit

352
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: later into that edition of Would You Rather Craig Grielu,

353
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 3: and I'll present all these formally.

354
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: Well, it goes back to what Mani said when he

355
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: addressed reporters late last week that this week, the week

356
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: we're currently in, is the number of different scenarios as

357
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: far as re looking at where they have players ranked

358
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: on their board or different positions. That's all been done.

359
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: Their board is set now, It's okay. If we do

360
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: get that phone call today tomorrow day of the draft,

361
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: are we willing to move down with the potential of

362
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: either staying there or trying to move back up. All

363
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: these I wouldn't say mock drafts, but scenarios I think

364
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: is what the front office is dealing with right now.

365
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Is that dropping to six, is that dropping to eleven,

366
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen? And if you do drop to eleven,

367
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, can you get back up to maybe

368
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: seven with the Titans, eight with the Falcons. Those I

369
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: think are the scenarios that are happening this week before

370
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: we get to Thursday.

371
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, because BNTI as Ford did confirm a couple of

372
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: things in talking to the media week out before the draft.

373
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: He said, quote, We've had talks with multiple teams and

374
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: multiple teams that have checked in with us, So the

375
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: chatter is real. It's extremely real. You wouldn't be doing

376
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: your job as a GM unless you explored all angles,

377
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 3: all avenues. And then, in regards to Sean Payton, he said.

378
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 3: He smiled and said that was nice as Sean to

379
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: say when somebody brought up the whole it's good to

380
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: be Moni comment from the NFL league meetings. By the way,

381
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: Sean Payton at the same time that Mani was talking

382
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: to the media. The same day he addressed the Denver media.

383
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: Someone asked him, do you feel the need to emerge

384
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: from this draft with a quarterback? And Sean Payton admitted, quote, yeah,

385
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: you'd say, it sure looks like we have to draft

386
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: a quarterback, and yet it's got to be the right fit,

387
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: the right one. If we had tip sheets as to

388
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: what everybody else is picking, it would be easier to

389
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: answer that question. And so that's the puzzle there. End

390
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: quote Sean Payton, which reminds me of Peter Schrager who

391
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: put out his mock draft is one point zero and

392
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: what did he have? He had the Cardinals trading down

393
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 3: to six with the Giants and he said the blowback

394
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: was Peter Schrager. Now the day after said once he

395
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 3: put that out that he got a ton of texts

396
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: from NFL decision makers other teams interested in quarterback said well, okay,

397
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 3: where'd you get that? Is that your speculation, Brian Dabele

398
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 3: is saying, is that a Joe Shane is saying the

399
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: GM of the Giants that it's sort of sent a

400
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: ripple through the rest of the NFL. Wait a minute,

401
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: are the Giants seriously in play to go from six

402
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 3: to four? Because there are at least three other teams

403
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: who are very interested as to whether they might have

404
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: a realistic shot at number four.

405
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: We talked about quarterbacks going one, two, three, four, What

406
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: about a fifth quarterback in the top ten. Also as

407
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: part of this Adam Schefter column on Monday on ESPN

408
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: mention Michael Pennix going as high as number eight. Now

409
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: that's the Atlanta Falcons who have their quarterback and Kirk Cousins.

410
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: But how long is Cousins realistically going to be there?

411
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: And if you have the scenario Brett Favre Aaron Rodgers,

412
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: you draft someone young, let him sit around for a

413
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: little while. Jordan Love Green Bay has mastered it, and

414
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: maybe that's an idea for one of these teams that

415
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: perhaps has a quarterback, but only a quarterback for a

416
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: year or two realistically, and then play the young guy.

417
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: And that's a scenario that I had not thought of

418
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: before Monday, when Schefter is writing all these little rumors

419
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and notes nuggets for what may or may not happen

420
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday.

421
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: So wait, if Penix ends up going top ten, which

422
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 3: teams is he naming teams who would be interested in

423
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 3: coming up for Pennick.

424
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: Mentioned eight specifically as far as the eighth, which is

425
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: the Atlanta falk S.

426
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Okay, So look, I'm just gonna throw this out there.

427
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: You look at the Raiders. You know the Raiders. Are

428
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: they in need of a quarterback? Yes, a future quarterback

429
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew great stopgap for right now, but they feel

430
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: like they have a championship level defense. They are in

431
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: dire need of a future franchise quarterback the Raiders. So

432
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: can the Raiders sit there at thirteen behind Minnesota and

433
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: Denver and feasibly wait for Michael Pennix? Probably not. In fact,

434
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 3: I tend to believe that the Seattle Seahawks are a

435
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: candidate to come up and take Michael Pennix. Why while,

436
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: among other things, the offensive coordinator for the Seahawks of

437
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald was the UDUB offensive core nator of the

438
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: last couple of years, So there's a direct connection between

439
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: Pennix and the coaching staff with the Seahawks to keep

440
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 3: him right in Seattle. So if it isn't the Raiders,

441
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a Seattle Seahawks team

442
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 3: that hasn't drafted a quarterback in round one since nineteen

443
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: ninety three in Rick Meyer. So it's time in Seattle

444
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: to come up and get a quarterback. And I firmly

445
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: believe that could be Pennix and it could be in

446
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: the top ten.

447
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: We talked about the Vikings, Broncos and Raiders potentially moving

448
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: up because they need a quarterback real time. Here on

449
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: this Monday edition of Cardinals Cover two present about Hyundai

450
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: product partner of the Arizona Cardinals are executive producer jim

451
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: On mohundro is sharing this with me. Tom Pellisero NFL

452
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: Network reporting the Jets are trading Zach Wilson to the

453
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: Broncos for a sixth round draft pick. So now the

454
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: Broncos are they still in the market for a quarterback?

455
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: Now, Justin Fields is really insulted that he got the

456
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 3: same compensation in a Yeah, Zach Wilson, that's the trickle

457
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: down here. Wow, the former number two overall.

458
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: Pick dealt for a sixth round pick.

459
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: Well, and once again, Justin Fields only received the sixth

460
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 3: round pick. So when they fall, they fall hard. I mean,

461
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: the Mighty have a long way to fall in those scenarios.

462
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 3: So why not if you're Denver, honestly, why not in

463
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: some you know, hey, at least you bolster the depth

464
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 3: in your quarterback room. Maybe you take some of the

465
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: heat off being so obvious in your need for a

466
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: quarterback on draft night and for a sixth round pick,

467
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 3: go for a guy who at least has a skill set,

468
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: Does he have the mentality, does he have the ability?

469
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 3: Recent history would say absolutely not, at least his tenure

470
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 3: with the Jets, but there was a lot of other

471
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: stuff going on in that town. Get him out of there,

472
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: Get him back to the Rocky Mountain time zone, right

473
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: once upon a time, Start at BYU and see what happens. Okay,

474
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 3: why not again, But that doesn't take the Denver Broncos

475
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: out of the play in the ranks of bidding and

476
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: buying for a quarterback and possibly trading up to number

477
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 3: four with the Cardinals.

478
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, so again, scenarios happen during the week, and

479
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: you have to be prepared for it, all right, So

480
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: let's play your little game there, Paul, Would you rather?

481
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: Would you rather? So? You're the Arizona Cardinals, and these

482
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: are all deals that have been reported, all right, as

483
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: part of mock drafts and NFL dot Com, NFL Network

484
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: a ESPN. Would you rather?

485
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: Number one?

486
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: Trade with the Minnesota Vikings and net eleven twenty three

487
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: And Justin Jefferson plug and play, three time All Pro

488
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 3: receiver who's still twenty four, will be twenty five this season.

489
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: Do you have to pay him? Yes, you have to

490
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: pay him. Don't at me. You remove any consideration or

491
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 3: risk of the bust factor, which, by the way, there's

492
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: a brand new article out and the athletic get in

493
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: into the highest bus straight in recent NFL history for

494
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: any position has been receiver. So Justin Jefferson eleven and

495
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: twenty three? Would you rather? That's number one? You trade

496
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: with Minnesota. Number two, the one I presented a little earlier.

497
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 3: You trade with the Broncos. You get number twelve. You

498
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: get a twenty twenty five first round pick. How many

499
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: picks do the Cardinals have in twenty twenty five right now?

500
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: Six?

501
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: Pretty enticing? You get a first round pick next year

502
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: and Patrick Sirtan, because if the Vikings are willing to

503
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: part with Justin Jefferson in an all pro receiver, the

504
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: Broncos are gonna have to throw in an all pro

505
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: corner in Patrick Sirtan. Number three. You trade with the Giants.

506
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: This was the deal that's been in two different mock drafts.

507
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: Schreeger and I believe Chad Ruter. You trade number four

508
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 3: in return for number six and a round two this year,

509
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 3: which is actually his number forty seven. It would be

510
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: Tennessee's pick number forty seven, and you get around three

511
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: this year as well, number seventy. Now at number six,

512
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: theoretically you still have a shot at Marvin Harrison Junior

513
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 3: because there's speculation that the Chargers will go after Joe Wall.

514
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: The hardball way is to play physical and bolster the trenches.

515
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: So think about that possibility. You go down to six,

516
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: you still have a shot at Marvin Harrison Junior, and

517
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 3: you get number forty seven and number seventy. And then

518
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: the last scenario, and would you rather, is you do

519
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: a deal with the Raiders. You get number thirteen, you

520
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: get the round two pick number forty four, and a

521
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: future first round pick. So to me, that's the least

522
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 3: of the.

523
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not even going to dignify that. I'm not

524
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: even calling the Raiders back.

525
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: So there you go. Do you go with the Denver scenario,

526
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 3: the Minnesota scenario, or the Giant scenario that it just presented?

527
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: Would you rather Craig Grialer.

528
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: As much as a fan of the known I am

529
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: versus the unknown? I like the Giants scenario because you

530
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: get a potential younger wide receiver, not proven, but a

531
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: young wide receiver who you you don't have to pay

532
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: just quite yet you would if you took the Vikings

533
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: trade offer, because you've got to pay Justin Jefferson, but

534
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: the ability to potentially still get Marvin Harrison Junior, if

535
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: not Malik Neighbors or Romadounze, you still get that wide receiver. Broncos.

536
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued with Patrick Sartan because you do need a

537
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: shutdown corner. I'm I'm very curious within this defense, is

538
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: it the edge is at the corner, the whole Russian cover,

539
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: cover and rush. Can you do you need that all

540
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: pro corner? Is this coaching staff, as much as they

541
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: like to rotate certain position groups, My guess is they

542
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: would prefer to have that wide receiver, that younger wide receiver,

543
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: go young, build to the draft, and pay that young

544
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver as opposed to acquiring a veteran wide receiver

545
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: and then paying on top of that just how much

546
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers are getting and then Patrick's airtan I would

547
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: lean more towards the wide receiver for Kyler Murray as

548
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: opposed to a cornerback for Nick Rowlis.

549
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon's position of expertise is cornerback, so you know

550
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: he values the position. You have one proven corner on

551
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: this roster as we speak. Now, you have some serious

552
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: promise and guys like Garrett Williams, but one proven corner

553
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: and Sean Murphy bunting. You need numbers in the cornerback

554
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: room as you stand right now. In fact, NFL dot

555
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: Com put out the Cardinals' biggest needs, and every team

556
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: has needs. Okay, even the Super Bowl champion Kansasy Chiefs

557
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: need receivers and they need corners. So in this case,

558
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: NFL dot Com had cornerback rated as the Cardinal's number

559
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: one need. Hard to disagree with that. Right now, Now

560
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: we can argue which position inherently is more valuable in

561
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: a defense, someone in that front seven getting after the

562
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: quarterback or someone covering the receiver. But if you had

563
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 3: a Patrick Sir Tan, Here's the thinking as well, is

564
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: that this is in nearly as deep in corners as

565
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: it is in receiver. So if you do the deal

566
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: with Denver and then you go for another receiver later

567
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: in the draft of Brian Thomas Junior with that number

568
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: twelve pick overall, perhaps you can still get receiver later

569
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: in this draft. There's just something about starting your game

570
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: plan every week, going back to the Patrick Peterson All

571
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: Pro days when he was roaming the defensive backfield for

572
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals. You start every game plan every week with, Okay,

573
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: all right, we got Patrick certin and we're gonna put

574
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: him on Debo. We're gonna put him on Pooka Naku,

575
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: We're gonna put him on DK Metcalf. You get that

576
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: guy to go against their guy, and then your defensive

577
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: game plan trickles down from there.

578
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: Problem with that scenario again, going back to the real

579
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: time breaking news on this Monday, the Broncos have Zach Wilson,

580
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: they have Jared Stidham, they have Ben Denucci. Are they

581
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: still in the market for a quarterback and willing to

582
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: trade up with the Arizona Cardinals.

583
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: And yes, because they have three backup quarterback. Because yes,

584
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: because it's the three player here's you just name Craig.

585
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: And to your point about the wide receivers, Daniel Jeremiah

586
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: put out his top one fifty on Monday. Three wide

587
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: receivers in his top four, four in his top seventeen,

588
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 3: seven in his top thirty one. Wow, and you know

589
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: that there's going to be players that get drafted ahead

590
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: of those wide receivers and pushing wide receivers down the

591
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: board where the Cardinals potentially could get a wide receiver

592
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: that they believe can morph into a wide receiver one

593
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: at twenty seven or dare I say at thirty five.

594
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: And here's the argument too, to get extra picks. For example,

595
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: let's go back to that New York Giant trade scenario

596
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: chadruter NFL dot com is final mock draft here in

597
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: the last couple of days, had the Cardinals trading number

598
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: four to the Giants, Giants go after JJ McCarthy. Cardinals

599
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: get that round two, number forty seven, and they get

600
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: a twenty twenty five round two in this one, so

601
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: that once again only six picks. Next year you get

602
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: a round two pick from a Giants team that ostensibly

603
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: would be playing a rookie quarterback. It's the same thing

604
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: thinking his last year that he went with the Texans.

605
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: The only difference is that c. J. Stroud hit it

606
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 3: out of the park as a complete rookie anomaly. Like anyway.

607
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: At number six, Cardinals will draft Romadonza. In this scenario,

608
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior has gone to the Chargers of five.

609
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: A lot of people still think Roma Dunza and or

610
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Maleak Neighbors is the number one receiver in this draft.

611
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: That's how loaded it is. And number twenty seven Cardinals

612
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: will get Cooper to Jane the dB out of Iowa.

613
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: And I say dB because some have him as a corner,

614
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: some have them as a safety. Guess what Cardinals say.

615
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: Really value that versatility as a coaching staff, so I

616
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: could see him being a good fit on that defense.

617
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: At number thirty five, the Cardinals round two pick Gerson Newton,

618
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: really talented defensive tackle out Illinois. Definitely could see that.

619
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: At number forty seven, Cardinals, this is interesting. Cooper Bebee,

620
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: an offensive guard to Kansas State Kansas State. Okay, can't

621
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: say I know much about him. Here's what I do know,

622
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: and here's why. To me, it's enticing to get extra

623
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: picks because at this point in this mock draft, which

624
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: is very feasible, the players still on the board at

625
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: forty seven beyond Cooper, Beebe Braydon Fisk, the D linman

626
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: out of Florida State, Mason Smith, the D lineman who's

627
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: got a lot of attention now D linman out of LSU,

628
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: who is a five star recruit dealt with injuries during

629
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: his career at LSU reportedly has come in for a

630
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: thirty visit with the Cardinals already. Jackson Powers Johnson is

631
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: on the board at forty seven. A franchise center, big dude,

632
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: a lot of experienced former D linemen. Nasty, they say,

633
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I would love to see the Cardinals get

634
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: their franchise center for the next decade. And if you

635
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: get an extra pick at forty seven, those are the possibilities.

636
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: Not to mention this mock draft, Edger and Cooper, the

637
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: inside linebacker out of A and M pound for pound,

638
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: maybe the toughest, most brutal dude in this draft is

639
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: still on the board there. So when you ask, okay,

640
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: quality versus quantity, well, you can still have quality within

641
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: that quantity. And that's where to me, that's what gets

642
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: really enticing with some of these trade scenarios that are

643
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: presented for the Cardinals.

644
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: Bottom line, Mani Austin Ford is going to have options

645
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: and it's up to him to choose what is the

646
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: best option for the Arizona Cardinals. Talked about Daniel Jeremiah

647
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot, and I go back to what he posted

648
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: back on April fourteenth, talking about the Cardinals. This draft

649
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: will determine the next five to seven years for our

650
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: hometown team.

651
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: Now.

652
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: Jeremiah did a conference call with reporters late last week,

653
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: almost two hours in which he answered questions from around

654
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: the country, and the question was posed him about the Cardinals,

655
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: specifically about his post about what this draft could potentially

656
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: mean for the Cardinals moving forward, not just this season,

657
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: but next season and years beyond. Here's what Daniel had

658
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: to say specifically about Mani and his front office.

659
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see what he did. You know,

660
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 4: I think there's a there's some things you want to

661
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 4: get accomplished here. Number One, you still need blue chip

662
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 4: players like you know, you can't always you know, trade

663
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: back and just keep getting more and more and more picks.

664
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 4: Eventually you've got to add more. They need blue chip

665
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: talent players here, so I think there's a way where

666
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 4: they can get creative. I think there's a way where

667
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 4: they can do serve all these masters. In other words,

668
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: they get you know, some impact players. They can still

669
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 4: move around the board a little bit hopefully you know,

670
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 4: continue to add picks into the future, keep that alive.

671
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 4: I love it when you've got all this capital. Hey,

672
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: let's not spend it all this year. Let's let's try

673
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: and keep accumulating things for next year. I think they're

674
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 4: in a prime position to be able to get out

675
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: it for if they want to and come back up

676
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: and still get you know, one of those top three receivers. So,

677
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 4: you know, if they think those guys are close, and

678
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 4: who knows what order they have them in, I think

679
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: that that order changes around the league. I think they

680
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: can get one of those guys, which is a top

681
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 4: five player, while also collecting a little something extra. And

682
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 4: it's a way for them to add impact guys at

683
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 4: positions of need while also you know, continuing to add

684
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: some some more firepower here. But yeah, this is a

685
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 4: this is a set your franchise up situation here for

686
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals. The Houston Texans did it last year.

687
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 4: If you go back and look at a lot of

688
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl teams, you know, you can you can

689
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 4: identify the one or two year period where their draft

690
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 4: set that run up. Seattle's one that comes right to mind.

691
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 4: You know what they did over a couple of years.

692
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, back when I was in Baltimore

693
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 4: in the early two thousands, the Charters had gone on

694
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: a good run and we had talked about it in

695
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 4: our meeting room that they had literally back to back draft,

696
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 4: just two drafts where they hit on about five guys

697
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: each and it set them up to be a really

698
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 4: competitive team for a decade. So this is their this

699
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 4: is their moment here. So they need to you know,

700
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: they need to get some guys who really make a

701
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: difference for him.

702
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: I hear that, Paul, And the first thing that I

703
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 1: think about is what did we start talking about here

704
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: on this Monday? Super Bowl forty three and the two

705
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: thousand and four draft class fits Carlos Dansby, Darnell Dockett,

706
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Smith, twenty years later is this twenty twenty four

707
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: draft class, and I include last year's draft class as well.

708
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: The set your franchise up moment for Manti Austin fort

709
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: and this franchise. It's a fascinating conversation because we won't

710
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: know for a number of years, but the fact that

711
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: you have eleven picks six in the top ninety two

712
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: in the first round, what MANI does on Thursday can

713
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: very well make this team for years to come.

714
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: No, it's a great analogy. The year before two thousand

715
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: and four they got an Kwon Bolden, right, so he

716
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: had an Kwon Bolden and Lare Fitzgerald there you go

717
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 3: won two punch that end up propelling you to Super

718
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: Bowl forty three. You're right those and he's not wrong

719
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 3: about I mean those two years where they got Russell

720
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: Wilson in the third round of Richard Sherman and then

721
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: Cam Chancellor round five and Earl Thomas and they end

722
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: up acquiring Marshawn Lynch and so yes, that's the backbone

723
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: of those two super Bowl teams, at least teams that

724
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 3: went to Super Bowls for Seattle. And I don't disagree

725
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: with any of that question. Is okay, how much are

726
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: you going to get for number four? Because in addition

727
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 3: to Daniel Jeremiah spending two hours on that conference call,

728
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: and there's just great evidence how insatiable the appetite is

729
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 3: for draft coverage and all the fans out there. But

730
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: he was on NFL Network with Mel Kiper Daniel Jeremiah,

731
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: which is interesting the mixing some of the talent between

732
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 3: NFL Network and ESPN, and they both agreed. Mel Kuiper

733
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: and Daniel Jeremiah quote, this draft is going to see

734
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 3: three quarterbacks go one, two, three, and I think everybody

735
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 3: agrees that. The draft then starts with the Arizona Cardinals

736
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 3: at pick number four, and both Mel and Daniel Jeremiah

737
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: call to quote a lottery ticket potentially. All right, once again,

738
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 3: if they end up with Marvin Harrison Junior, what a

739
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: great default plan. Because I thought it was really interesting

740
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy and some of that chefter reporting, and apparently

741
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 3: it's going to come out in the podcast after our

742
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: recording here, and he asked JJ McCarthy about Marvin Harrison Junior,

743
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: and JJ McCarthy said, the one guy would get off

744
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: the bench and watch while our defense was on the

745
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 3: field was Marvin Harrison Junior. A. I wanted to see

746
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 3: him his skill set, and B he really concerned me

747
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: as a player, like what is this guy going to

748
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: do to beat my Wolverines? And so that's when that's

749
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: the ultimate respect. When you see guys get off the

750
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: bench to watch an opposing player. And I've seen that

751
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: a handful of times over the years. I've even seen

752
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: it with Cardinals' rookies over the year. How do you

753
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 3: know a rookie has made an impression in training camp

754
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 3: when you get to the preseason. This happened with Tyron

755
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 3: Matthew when he first took the field, the veterans got

756
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: off the bench, went to the white stripe, and they

757
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: wanted to see him. It happened with David Johnson, third

758
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 3: round running back out of Northern Iowa. Okay, this kid

759
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: has looked really good in practice. In the first preseason game,

760
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 3: dude's got up. Guys also got up in the fourth

761
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 3: quarter of a preseason game to see Tim Tebow when

762
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: he got in for the Denver Broncos. Larry in particular

763
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: shoved me out of the way and said, calviv C,

764
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 3: I want to watch this. Okay, So there are certain

765
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: guys players no players, And I would take some of

766
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: that feedback seriously when you talk to other prospects, if

767
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 3: they're giving you honest if you can tell it's honest

768
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: intel about other players, Fellow players tend to know who's

769
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: going to make an impact in the NFL.

770
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: Bottom line is Manti asin Ford is in the perfect position.

771
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: It's up to him though to make the right decision.

772
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: But he is in the perfect position at number four.

773
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: And who's to say, again, can a Michigan man really

774
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: draft an Ohio State Buckeye with the fifth overall pick.

775
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest here. So the trade down

776
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: with the Giants potentially could still land you Marvin Harrison

777
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: and future draft capital. But are you willing to risk

778
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: that and then settle for the other wide receiver that

779
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: potentially is still on the board, or it's just not

780
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: worth the risk at all? And you're like no, And

781
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: maybe here in a week's time, Paul were sitting down

782
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: again and say, we just really overthought this. There was

783
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: no way MANI was going to move off number four.

784
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: They settled in on Marvin Harrison Junior if he was available,

785
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: just because of what we were talking about. He is

786
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: that damn good and it's not just what he does,

787
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: but he'll uplift the offense and uplift the entire team.

788
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: That trickled down when you have one of those stars

789
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: added to your team harder in the NFL compared to

790
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: maybe the NBA, where you've got less players on the

791
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: field on the court. But I could certainly see there's

792
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: a number of players even that at that premium quarterback

793
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: position that can really elevate everyone else on your roster.

794
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 3: It's not whether the Cardinals should draft wide receiver one,

795
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 3: it's where can they? Where should they draft wide receiver one?

796
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: In a loaded class? How many guys, if any, do

797
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 3: they consider on the same tier as Marvin Harrison Junior?

798
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong. Reports say all three of

799
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 3: the big three receivers have come for that thirty visit, right, right?

800
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 3: And what did Mariassa Ford and Jonathan gan And tell

801
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 3: the media that by the time they're done with a

802
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: thirty visit, they feel like they have a pretty good

803
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: handle on the person. They put them through a scenario

804
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 3: that would resemble or emulate a Wednesday of a game week.

805
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: They've already met with them. Ostensibly presumably at the combine

806
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 3: on campus. They've done other So if you're taking someone

807
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: top ten, top five, anywhere in the first round, you've

808
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 3: done your homework and you feel like you have a

809
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 3: pretty good handle on this sort of person. They are

810
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: as well, which is always important, But with this coaching staff,

811
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 3: I think is supremely important. They're looking for the heartbeat

812
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: and pulse of the player more than just some regimes

813
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: that might focus on the measurables and what they see

814
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 3: on film. It goes way beyond that. I think we

815
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 3: can ascertain with this staff and these scouts and everything

816
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: that goes into the system that mana support has implemented

817
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 3: in the Cardinals war room, which is different than what

818
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 3: existed prior. They've been vocal about that. So okay, you know,

819
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 3: Roma Dunsay made more contested catches last year than Marvin

820
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 3: Rison Junior. Now that Ohio State suffered from issues at quarterback,

821
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: yes they did. Michael Pennix was Roma Dunzay's and then

822
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: Moleague Neighbors has a gear after the catch and explosiveness

823
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 3: that supposedly neither one of those guys has. I mean,

824
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: he's a Tyreek Hill type burner at times on film.

825
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: So all right, you know if indeed, heck, what if

826
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 3: the Chargers are at five, you're at six and they

827
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 3: end up going for one of the other two receivers

828
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 3: not named Marvin Harrison Junior. That's another scenario in which

829
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 3: you win.

830
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: It would be awesome to be in the draft room

831
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: on Thursday, but if you can't be, which let's be honest,

832
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: no one is. I mean, we're just not getting that invite.

833
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: But the next best place to be on Thursday is

834
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: with Paul State Farm Stadium, the Great Lawn the Draft

835

Speaker 1: But again, your chance to watch the NFL draft, hang

839
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: out with Paul Calvc and just exactly see what happens

840
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: and what MANI does decide to do with that fourth

841
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: overall pick, or maybe it's not the fourth pick, maybe

842
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: it's the sixth or the eleventh, and multiple picks in

843
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: the first round.

844
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: Brock Perty is a game manager. Absolutely not. Okay, I'm

845
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: a game manager. I'm just gonna get the ball to

846
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: the playmakers, all right. You get the ball out and

847
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: let a coaches players. We'll hear from all the you

848
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 3: got the jumbo tron screens up there. I even made

849
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 3: a few phone calls and did my best. I believe

850
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: temperatures are forecast in the eighties instead of the nineties

851
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 3: or around the triple digit marks.

852
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: So look, I knew you had a lot of power.

853
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you had that much power.

854
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 3: Craig, We've been doing this for a few years, so

855
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: we called it in a few favors. All right, there's

856
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: been some hot ones this week though it's supposed to

857
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: be in the eighties, so boom, come on out. There's

858
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: plenty of shade, plenty of food and beverage, and great

859
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 3: long has never looked better. You have the facilities on

860
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 3: either side now right, I mean, it's really evolved in

861
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 3: advanced and it's a great time. All you have to

862
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: do is sign up. It's complimentary, it's free, sign up,

863
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 3: get your digital tickets. I believe is the way it's done.

864
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: It's real easy, it's turnkey, and once again we have

865
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 3: a track record of getting the first interview with the

866
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 3: first round pick every single year. So not only will

867
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 3: you see it, and I believe there's going to be

868
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 3: a lot of action on Thursday night, and there's going

869
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 3: to be multiple first round picks, but you'll be able

870
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 3: to here from the decision makers and hopefully the player.

871
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: Himself, and then cap off the night post draft fireworks.

872
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: A perfect Thursday not only to watch, but to also

873

877
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: assigned to me, so I will not be there with you.

878
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: It's just you alone, alongside the big red cheerleaders, Cardinals alumni,

879
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: maybe even some current Cardinal players, and thousands of fans.

880
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: They assigned me to the frivolity of you know, the

881
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: serious stuff, the hard hitting stuff. They leave for you, Craig. Okay,

882
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: you're the serious journalist, so they entrust you with that

883
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 3: and then they boom, we're out there and you know,

884
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 3: we'll just be up on stage and we'll have a

885
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: good time with it. Okay, But once again, the serious

892
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 3: That's just you know. Then boom will come along this year,

893
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: although I'm not even sure that's going to last very

894
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 3: long before they realign all the college football. By the

895
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 3: time that does go, there will be something new.
