Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Thursday, Dan and The Dan Next Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, former NFL scout, he works for the NFL Network.
Speaker 1: He's got his final mock draft. This is basically your
Speaker 1: guess is as good as mine. You have a lot
Speaker 1: of these guys who this is what they do. They're like,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, good idea. Who's going number one? Bryce
Speaker 1: Young is a overwhelming favor to go number one overall?
Speaker 1: This according to DraftKings. The odds to be drafted number
Speaker 1: two overall. According to DraftKings, anybody want to take guests
Speaker 1: and not an overwhelming favorite to be number two? I
Speaker 1: would be surprised if this happens. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: Odds to be the number two pick overall, see no Connor,
Speaker 1: I'll go with you, Anthony Richardson, Anthony Richardson, No, Marv
Speaker 1: Will Levis bloop bloop bloop loop.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Will Levis is the odds on favor to be the
Speaker 1: number two pick. How about the odds to be the
Speaker 1: number three pick overall? Marvin, I'll start with you. Will
Speaker 1: Anderson No, Will Anderson is the second favorite to be
Speaker 1: drafted third if that makes sense. Seaton bloop blue ya, yes,
Speaker 1: Will Levis number two to reassume the Houston Texans, and
Speaker 1: then c J. Stroud. I'm guessing somebody's trading into that
Speaker 1: three spot with Arizona. But a couple of the names.
Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson, he's a late mover coming up. Will Anderson
Speaker 1: seems to have cooled off a little bit. Paris Johnson,
Speaker 1: the left tackle for all I state, that's a guy
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. If Arizona can't trade out
Speaker 1: of three, I think they take Paris Johnson the offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: and then you start to look, you know, the Jets
Speaker 1: for me with Aaron Rodgers. If you're not using that
Speaker 1: first round pick on an offensive lineman, I would be surprised.
Speaker 1: Now unless you said, hey, you know what, we took
Speaker 1: Bjeon Robinson. Okay, I mean he's going to help. He's
Speaker 1: insurance for Bryce hall Is coming off the knee surgery.
Speaker 1: But Bjeon Robinson, maybe it's going to be an offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: He got a couple of tight ends that are going
Speaker 1: to be drafted, a couple of wide receivers, probably five
Speaker 1: quarterbacks taken in the first round. We say good morning,
Speaker 1: to our streaming partner, Peacock download the app you can
Speaker 1: watch for free, and our radio affiliates around the country.
Speaker 1: Pull question from hour one and does it spill over
Speaker 1: to hour two? See no connor.
Speaker 3: I think it might spill over to our two for
Speaker 3: a little bit, just for a little while, because I
Speaker 3: got it up a little late, all right.
Speaker 1: But who had a better day yesterday?
Speaker 3: Knicks fans, Jets fans, Heat fans, other fans right now,
Speaker 3: Heat fans. I wouldn't say running away with it. They've
Speaker 3: got forty percent of the vote. Knicks fans thirty three
Speaker 3: percent of the vote.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought the Jets had a well, okay, it's
Speaker 1: a good day. I think they had a good day
Speaker 1: when the trade was completed. Maybe not just a press
Speaker 1: conference there with Aaron Rodgers, so I get that.
Speaker 3: Do you think the lead up to that day, that
Speaker 3: good day finally happening dampened it a little bit? I mean,
Speaker 3: it took a long time to get that deal done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there was a lot of speculation like, well,
Speaker 1: what happens? What's Plan B? If you don't get Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: you know you're going to go after Lamar Jackson. Are
Speaker 1: the Niners going to go after Aaron Rodgers. It felt
Speaker 1: like there was the point of no return for the
Speaker 1: Packers with Aaron Rodgers. But yeah, I could see that
Speaker 1: where it's a press conference, but just the hope that
Speaker 1: you have. And today is a day of hope. The
Speaker 1: draft is a day of hope, possibilities. Who could we take?
Speaker 1: How's that going to change us? Everybody feels like, man,
Speaker 1: it's a rebirth. Now we're starting. And if you're a
Speaker 1: bad team, today's your day because you're up top, you're
Speaker 1: up there. There's a reason why you're up there. You're bad. Now,
Speaker 1: how quickly can we get good? Can we get an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman to help us? With Kyler Murray? If you're Arizona,
Speaker 1: what do the Colts do? You know they've tried the retread.
Speaker 1: Now you want to get your own quarterback. You're going
Speaker 1: to take Will Levis, CJ. Stroud, Anthony Richardson. And what's
Speaker 1: Seattle going to do? They're going to go defense. They're
Speaker 1: going to go in on Jalen Carter. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts here and that's what makes this
Speaker 1: draft fun. I don't know if there's great players in here,
Speaker 1: but there it feels like uncertainty and that it's rare
Speaker 1: when you go into a draft where you go, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with the second pick.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming I know what's going to happen with the
Speaker 1: first pick, the second can pick, and then on. It
Speaker 1: just feels like there could be one team that gets
Speaker 1: squirrely and that changes the first round. But Arizona, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: You need you need a lot. Okay, we got a
Speaker 1: left tackle that's great. Do you want to take him?
Speaker 1: Do you want to try to move down the Texans
Speaker 1: they need a lot. Do you want to get your quarterback?
Speaker 1: Do you believe that's your quarterback? Or as I've suggested,
Speaker 1: if you know you're not going to be that good
Speaker 1: this upcoming season, wait till next year's class, because those
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks that'll come out are higher rated than these
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year. You don't need to take a quarterback
Speaker 1: this year just because you need a quarterback. You need
Speaker 1: a lot of other things. And if you see that
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be great, you know he's going
Speaker 1: to be great, then take him and then next year
Speaker 1: maybe you know you go all in on a quarterback

Speaker 1: of time. In the first hour, we're talking about the Heat,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler Jannis's answer to a question about was this
Speaker 1: a failure? The Knicks advance beating the Cavaliers. It's the
Speaker 1: Heat and the Knicks in the next round, Grizzlies beat
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Here's Lebron James after the loss.
Speaker 4: Haven't put together two performances together, but you know we
Speaker 4: still have put three team efforts together to be up
Speaker 4: three to two, and that's what's most important. It's not about,
Speaker 4: you know, what Ad and myself were doing. It's about
Speaker 4: how we can win basketball games. And tonight I was
Speaker 4: and I'll be better in Game six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't look good as a team, and they
Speaker 1: would have stretches where they looked old. Now they do
Speaker 1: have that. There's moments where you go, oh, my God,
Speaker 1: they're the team to be out West. Last night, you
Speaker 1: didn't get that feeling, and now the Lakers are probably
Speaker 1: less than a five point favorite going back to Game six.
Speaker 1: But watching you know, Desmond Bain was wonderful. He's one
Speaker 1: of the better shooters in the league. Thirty three points,
Speaker 1: ten rebounds. Jah had thirty one to ten, and you know,
Speaker 1: getting twenty rebounds from your guards is invaluable. Bain and
Speaker 1: Moran are the first teammates to put up thirty ten
Speaker 1: performances in the same playoff game since Giannis and Chris
Speaker 1: Middleton did this back in the twenty twenty one Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference Finals. Stat of the day, stat of the day,
Speaker 1: not about stat of the day. Stat of the day?
Speaker 1: Here comes that?
Speaker 4: What stat of the day?
Speaker 1: Warriors up three to two on the Kings. You love
Speaker 1: him or you love to hate him. Draymond played great
Speaker 1: basketball last night, so did Steph Curry and they're up
Speaker 1: three to two now on the Sacramento Kings. It's the
Speaker 1: Celtics and the Hawks. The game nobody wanted to see.
Speaker 1: It's here, Game six coming up tonight.
Speaker 5: If that game we're going on in your backyard and
Speaker 5: the NFL Draft were on on your.
Speaker 1: TV my backyard.
Speaker 5: You don't get to play, oh, but you have to
Speaker 5: watch or watch the.
Speaker 1: Draft in my backyard. Okay, so if they were playing
Speaker 1: out in our man.
Speaker 5: Cave, right or we have to stay in here.
Speaker 1: We're in here watching the draft, now, Can I Can
Speaker 1: I sneak a peek? Can I like look through over
Speaker 1: Fritzy's shoulders. I could see I gotta pick one. I
Speaker 1: think I'm much Take the draft. Take the draft. Uh
Speaker 1: Buddha in San Francisco, Buddha, good to have you back.
Speaker 1: What do you have for me today?
Speaker 2: Thanks? Dan?
Speaker 6: First of all, emmy Schmammy Dan and the Dan adds
Speaker 6: some boys all around you. Guys will never be failures
Speaker 6: in our books. Let's just move on, Okay, Dan, I
Speaker 6: got a quick comment and the satur the day, if
Speaker 6: I may, Okay Dan Tony Brothers last night, I think
Speaker 6: he should be given a nod. I think you know
Speaker 6: you talked about it a lot sometimes about refs getting
Speaker 6: in the way. He could have thrown out Deer and
Speaker 6: Fox in the third quarter, Dan, and he could have
Speaker 6: tacked Draymond up in the fourth quarter. And you know
Speaker 6: what he did. He swallowed not only his whistle but
Speaker 6: his ego and I thought that was really cool. So
Speaker 6: Marvin give me the O g st Out of the
Speaker 6: day music Die CP dub Nation.
Speaker 7: Experienced Christmas early last night with Raymond going for twenty one,
Speaker 7: the first time he's hit twenty points since twenty nineteen
Speaker 7: on Christmas Day.
Speaker 8: Wow, thank you Buddha.
Speaker 1: I'll never argue with Draymond and how he plays. When
Speaker 1: he plays basketball, it's just the other stuff. He doesn't
Speaker 1: need it. Golden State doesn't need it. And it goes
Speaker 1: back to last year with the NBA Finals. The first
Speaker 1: couple of games, he was terrible. He kept trying to
Speaker 1: get tangled up with Jason Tatum and just play. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's obviously not as good as he once was, but
Speaker 1: when he is good, he's so valuable, and he'll do
Speaker 1: something in the span of fifteen seconds where he'll make
Speaker 1: four really good plays. He might hit a shot, come back,
Speaker 1: get a block, or a steal, make a nice Chris
Speaker 1: Bounce pass for a basket in the span of fifteen seconds.
Speaker 1: That's what he's capable of doing, and there are very
Speaker 1: few players who are capable of doing that. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hit a shot, come back, get a steal, and then
Speaker 1: make a nice play at the other end. That's Draymond great.
Speaker 3: So annoying. I know Seaton's like, ah, there's a few
Speaker 3: things worse than him, like coming back from suspension and
Speaker 3: playing well.
Speaker 1: Oh crap, I loved it.
Speaker 3: There was a stretch lesson yeah, like he came down,
Speaker 3: hit a three, blocked the shots, stole the ball, passed
Speaker 3: it up for a lay of like fast break. He
Speaker 3: made like five plays in seven seconds, and it was
Speaker 3: so annoying.
Speaker 1: Dan and New York joins us, Hi, Dan, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind?
Speaker 9: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 9: Six two? Let's call it to sitty all right, So
Speaker 9: I have a question for all of you. My buddy
Speaker 9: is singing the national anthem at game six Warriors Kings,
Speaker 9: and he does not know what to wear. Uh no,
Speaker 9: shutting down? Do you go team paraphernalia?
Speaker 1: Well, is he a big fan of the Warriors?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, you know what, if they'll give him a
Speaker 1: Warriors jacket, one of those Letterman jacket, then I would
Speaker 1: do that. Don't have anything that you're going to call
Speaker 1: attention to that they can make fun of. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna wear it, embrace the team and maybe have one
Speaker 1: of those letterman jackets on. I think you'd be fine
Speaker 1: with that, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't overthink it because
Speaker 1: then you'll overdress and then people would be like, dude,
Speaker 1: what are you wearing? Because you want them to listen
Speaker 1: to you, not necessarily watch you. And if that would
Speaker 1: that would be how I would lead with it. What's
Speaker 1: he thinking of doing, Dan, he's singing.
Speaker 9: It doing just a black button down maybe jeans.
Speaker 1: That's fine, I mean, business casual, that's fine. Your goal
Speaker 1: when you sing the anthem is unless you do something
Speaker 1: truly spectacular, is you want to get in and get
Speaker 1: out because you don't want them to go e like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? That didn't sound good? Like Carl
Speaker 1: Lewis look like a million bucks when he was out
Speaker 1: there to sing the anthem. He's saying like five bucks.
Speaker 1: That's not very nice, it's not, but it's true. All yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: you just you want to get out there and you
Speaker 1: want to play, and then you want to leave and
Speaker 1: then we might remember you and we might not. How
Speaker 1: old is he Dan?
Speaker 9: He's thirty five?
Speaker 1: All right, okay, well thanks for the phone call, but
Speaker 1: that my advice would be, don't draw attention too much
Speaker 1: attention to what you're wearing, you'll draw attention by how
Speaker 1: you sing. It's like Chris Stapleton when he sang before
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, man, oh man, it's pretty good. That
Speaker 1: was great. But because we were listening to his voice,
Speaker 1: now not many people have that voice.
Speaker 5: He actually sang.
Speaker 1: He sounded great. He sounded like. That's one of those
Speaker 1: voices that you go, wow, that's not fair. There's certain
Speaker 1: voices where you say that's not fair. I always go
Speaker 1: back to Sam Cook, Marvin Gay and I go, that's
Speaker 1: not fair, not fair. Chris Stapleton's in that group as well,
Speaker 1: not fair. Adele, yeah, plum.
Speaker 5: I like stapleton songs because they're not cliche, if you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. Sometimes that you know, some of
Speaker 5: those songs can get repetitive with the topics and tell
Speaker 5: he has his own, his own style. He doesn't kow tao.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well it's country. You can sing about your truck
Speaker 1: in there a song about somebody's truck.
Speaker 5: There's a song by a guy named David allen Coe
Speaker 5: I think, and he's got a few issues, but he's
Speaker 5: talked about how to write the best country song. You
Speaker 5: gotta include mama in your truck and all this kind
Speaker 5: of stuff. I think it's David Allen co.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, somebody wrote a truck and I think it's
Speaker 1: called a song about a truck or something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 10: More, you can also thing about fried chicken and jeans
Speaker 10: fitting just right?
Speaker 2: What's that song?
Speaker 1: Coach cold beer on a Friday night?
Speaker 5: Zach Brown?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about anything basically. Yeah, yeah, a pair
Speaker 1: of jeans that fit just right us? All right? Who
Speaker 1: can't relate to that as opposed to pair of jeans
Speaker 1: that don't fit just right? That's right? Yeah? Uh? Chris
Speaker 1: and Iowa, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind today? Morning?
Speaker 9: Dan?
Speaker 11: Hey, my son and I are driving down to Kansas
Speaker 11: City as we speak, and we are looking for any
Speaker 11: recommendations of what to do at the draft, what to
Speaker 11: hope for anything. If you guys have been to a
Speaker 11: draft before.
Speaker 1: Well we've been to a few of them, but you're
Speaker 1: going to Kansas City that that's a little different. And
Speaker 1: this is outdoor. This this is a like a festival
Speaker 1: type thing. Philly did a wonderful job with this. Do
Speaker 1: you guys have any advice on Chris and his son
Speaker 1: going to the draft?
Speaker 5: Paul Uh there's fan bases collecting groups. I remember mcgoven
Speaker 5: and I went to the Philadelphia Draft and different fan
Speaker 5: bases collected in different areas, like almost very socially block
Speaker 5: them off because ESPN and NFL Network want to get
Speaker 5: shots of a fan base reacting, So pick the most
Speaker 5: interesting fan base and stand near them, like.
Speaker 1: Well, who do you root for Chris?
Speaker 11: Oh we are, or for cheap face?
Speaker 1: Oh well then yeah, don't do it. You don't have
Speaker 1: to do anything. Just go in and walk around and
Speaker 1: soak it all up. Good luck there, Thanks for calling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've gone to other drafts, but we've been in drafts
Speaker 1: where it's inside. Now you got you know, outside and
Speaker 1: it's almost like a concert or festival. Yeah, poem, How
Speaker 1: different was it?
Speaker 5: Used to be at Radio City Music Hall, which was
Speaker 5: an antiquated facility, and in the wings at the draft
Speaker 5: on the stage where there's a green room and there's
Speaker 5: one bathroom on it either side. It's the onesie bathroom,
Speaker 5: so one person goes at a time. There was a
Speaker 5: line of media people for the bathroom and I look
Speaker 5: behind me and Barkavius Mingo from LSU is in line
Speaker 5: behind me in the bathroom and I looked at these guys.
Speaker 5: I'm like, do you think we should let him go?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And he starts going to the bathroom. He's like, hey,
Speaker 5: well let him go. His phone starts ringing. He runs
Speaker 5: back to the green room so he can get over
Speaker 5: by his agent.
Speaker 1: White bathroom, didn't the Cleveland Browns draft. Yeah, Barcavius Mingo,
Speaker 1: great name. Yeah. I was there at the Marriotte Marquee
Speaker 1: when there were no fans in there. It was just
Speaker 1: these team employees with their helmet phones and there.
Speaker 3: When they were all at like the tables, like card tables.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't exciting at all.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 1: No, it was like, uh, we weren't sure what's going on.
Speaker 1: You're not hearing things you're in there. That's great.
Speaker 3: You saw it go from that like the most basic
Speaker 3: strip down thing too. We're in Vegas and they're being
Speaker 3: delivered on boats to this stage.
Speaker 1: What the hell just become? All right, let me take
Speaker 1: a break. We'll come back. Daniel Jeremiah with his final
Speaker 1: final mock draft and what kind of surprises does he

Speaker 1: Speaking of which, segue Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network Analyst, Chargers
Speaker 1: Radio Analyst and Move the Sticks podcast co host. He's
Speaker 1: got a tough job because he's in Kansas City. He's
Speaker 1: got his final, final, final mock draft, and he has
Speaker 1: no idea what's going to go on, and neither do we.
Speaker 1: And it hasn't there haven't been too many drafts where
Speaker 1: we've gone in Daniel saying, I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. I assume we know what's happening at at
Speaker 1: the top, right Bryce Young's going to Carolina.
Speaker 2: I feel like we know that that might be the
Speaker 2: only thing that we know Dan at this point in time.
Speaker 2: But I mean, as an analyst for this thing, you
Speaker 2: were for two things. You're for quarterbacks and chaos, and
Speaker 2: I think we're going to be two for two in
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: Okay, but there's no official report that Bryce Young is
Speaker 1: going to Carolina. No. Can you remember the last time
Speaker 1: where we didn't know the number one overall pick?
Speaker 2: I go back to the Kyler Murray year. We were
Speaker 2: pretty certain, but it wasn't nailed down. And then when
Speaker 2: we were on set as the red carpet show was
Speaker 2: taking place, so you're just kind of getting miked up.
Speaker 2: You're just kind of milling around, and I look over
Speaker 2: at the monitor, and I see Kyler Murray in a
Speaker 2: red and pink pinstriped suit and I said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's going that's an Arizona Cardinals number one overall pick
Speaker 2: suit that he's wearing.
Speaker 1: I feel still feel and felt that the draft starts
Speaker 1: at number two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's where it is. I mean, if we assume,
Speaker 2: and I think it will happen, Bryce Young go's number one. Now,
Speaker 2: if we're ninety five percent sure of the number one pick,
Speaker 2: we are five percent sure of the number two pick.
Speaker 2: No clue. I mean it's normally Dan, it's like okay,
Speaker 2: And I think that like the Trey Lance. We had
Speaker 2: this conversation that year day of the draft and I said, look,
Speaker 2: there's enough coming late here that I believe Trey Lance
Speaker 2: is going to be the pickover Mac Jones for San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Like that was kind of the last little riddle, and
Speaker 2: you felt maybe eighty percent confident, Like nothing's got out
Speaker 2: of Houston. I mean there's all this noise and all
Speaker 2: this uproar about you know, well they are, won't they
Speaker 2: with CJ. Stroud? But no concrete information?
Speaker 1: What do you think they should do?
Speaker 2: I think they should take CJ. Stroud. So to me,
Speaker 2: I think there's there's no way you can come out
Speaker 2: of these first two picks without your quarterback. I don't
Speaker 2: think they're future quarterbacks on their roster, and I don't
Speaker 2: buy into the theory of well, you know what, next
Speaker 2: year there's great quarterbacks. Well yeah, there's no guarantee you're
Speaker 2: going to be picking up here next year. You've got
Speaker 2: a chance to draft the guy who's better than anybody
Speaker 2: that you have, which I think CJ. Stroud is, So
Speaker 2: go ahead and take him now, Dan, there's only every
Speaker 2: couple of years where you're going to have a guy
Speaker 2: like Trevor Lawrence where you're going to sleep great at night.
Speaker 2: No one, Okay, I feel this is a high This
Speaker 2: is a high, high likelihood. This guy is going to
Speaker 2: be a stud. Those guys don't come around very often.
Speaker 2: You got to you got to take a little bit
Speaker 2: of a leap here, but you've got to go for it.
Speaker 1: So you got drama too, And then you throw in Arizona.
Speaker 1: You know, did they go with Paris Johnson? Do they
Speaker 1: get their you know, left tackle, or do they trade
Speaker 1: out of that because somebody wants to trade up to
Speaker 1: get a quarterback. What do you think happens.
Speaker 2: Well, there's so many holes there and they've made it
Speaker 2: known they're screaming from the mountaintops. They would love to
Speaker 2: get out of there. So you know, the challenge is
Speaker 2: I did it for to have some fun in a
Speaker 2: mock draft, and I thought, Okay, if Houston's really down
Speaker 2: to Will Anderson and C. J. Stroud, I can fudge
Speaker 2: it and then just make a trade and give them both.
Speaker 2: So I took that out of the out of the mix.
Speaker 2: Arizona gets the trade down, they cover it, they go
Speaker 2: down to twelve, and they could still get you know,
Speaker 2: one of the top offensive linemen. But having said that,
Speaker 2: when you dig into it and look at draft day
Speaker 2: trades over the last few years, five or six years, Dan,
Speaker 2: there hasn't been a draft day trade to move up
Speaker 2: into like the top five. The last one was Trubisky
Speaker 2: and that was one spot. Like, we haven't seen a
Speaker 2: team go from ten to eleven, twelve and come all the
Speaker 2: way up to three. You got to go back to
Speaker 2: I think it's twenty fourteen when that happened. So the
Speaker 2: trades have been happening at ten. You saw fields move
Speaker 2: up to take fields at ten. We've seen other movement
Speaker 2: in that range, but as of late, you know, when
Speaker 2: you're gonna make a jump into the top three, usually
Speaker 2: that takes place ahead of time.
Speaker 1: Quarterback who could be a bust?
Speaker 2: Well, I think you can flip a coin on Richardson
Speaker 2: and Levis. You know, I feel like there's dividing lines here.
Speaker 2: Bryce Young to me is the best one. There's a
Speaker 2: little bit of a gap. Then you get to Stroud,
Speaker 2: but I think, you know, I think both those guys
Speaker 2: are rock solid. Then I think you start, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a wildcard. Now I have
Speaker 2: Richardson next for me because the upside is ridiculous. But
Speaker 2: the sample size skin there's the heck out of me.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a trail of tears when you look
Speaker 2: at the guys with that limited of a sample size,
Speaker 2: and then when you look at Will Levis, it's just,
Speaker 2: you know, it's a roller coaster ride when you when
Speaker 2: you pop on the tape and you know, I get
Speaker 2: a little bit nervous when you know through the process
Speaker 2: you go, yeah, but you know, the injuries, but then
Speaker 2: the offensive line, the plate is a lot of butts. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that makes me a little nervous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to see consistency. If you can't be
Speaker 1: consistent in college, you're not going to be consistent and
Speaker 1: your accuracy doesn't change. It's usually who you are. And
Speaker 1: now we're saying, oh, you know, somebody's going to change
Speaker 1: Will Levis. They'll make him more accurate. It's rare. I
Speaker 1: think when that happens. Maybe technique, maybe you know, throwing motion,
Speaker 1: your footwork, but it feels like what you are in college,
Speaker 1: accuracy wise, is what you'll be in the pros, if
Speaker 1: not worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And people point to Josh Allen here because he
Speaker 2: made such a leap with accuracy, but I go back,
Speaker 2: First of all, he's at Wyoming. This is apples and oranges,
Speaker 2: comparing who he's with, who he's playing with there. The
Speaker 2: other thing with Josh, I could pull out throws of him,
Speaker 2: you know, throwing with touch, like layered balls. He wasn't consistent,
Speaker 2: but I've seen him do it. It'd be like watching
Speaker 2: a golfer and I've seen you can hit these shots,
Speaker 2: You're just not doing it consistently. With Levis, it's just
Speaker 2: everything is firm that there's just there's not a lot
Speaker 2: of touch to his football. So that to me, is
Speaker 2: more difficult to change.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network analyst. He'll be
Speaker 1: on the call NFL Network providing live coverage to the
Speaker 1: draft starting tonight at eight eastern. Now that you have
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, what did the Jets do with their fifteenth
Speaker 1: overall pick?
Speaker 2: I mean, the defense is pretty good shape, and having
Speaker 2: Rodgers there, it just feels like this will be a
Speaker 2: Rogers influence selection. So I just keep going back to
Speaker 2: that offensive line and if Skeroansky gets there from Northwestern,
Speaker 2: he's similar to Vera Tucker, and that Vera Tucker is
Speaker 2: a guard but can play tackle. He played some tackle
Speaker 2: at usc Skeronsky's a tackle whos something could play guard? Dan,
Speaker 2: I've you know, I've saw it last year with the
Speaker 2: Chargers with a guy like Jamari Sawyer, who was, you know,
Speaker 2: a six round pick, but he had some flexibility and
Speaker 2: versatility over a seventeen game season. Having offensive linemen that
Speaker 2: can go inside and outside and always allow you to
Speaker 2: get your five best guys on the field is huge.
Speaker 2: So as much as I love the talent of Makai Beckton,
Speaker 2: he hasn't been reliable and healthy. I think, to me,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a good way for them to go.
Speaker 1: Where should be Jean Robinson go.
Speaker 2: Well, he's my third overall player in a draft with
Speaker 2: so many exceptions and little, you know, little guys and
Speaker 2: inexperienced players like I feel like he comes in clear packaging.
Speaker 2: You know, you know exactly what you're getting with him.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a great player. He's gonna
Speaker 2: be a top five running back in the league. I
Speaker 2: always say with running backs, I think it makes more
Speaker 2: sense if you're a finished product to kind of put
Speaker 2: that finishing piece in there. And I look at the
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles and I say, okay, well, what are the
Speaker 2: premier positions They've got the quarterback?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you worked for the Eagles, though, Daniel, and.
Speaker 2: You know, getting their dad.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna They're not gonna take I know, but
Speaker 1: I want it. I want it so bad.
Speaker 2: I want it so bad. And then so I've been
Speaker 2: telling people. They say, where should you go? So he
Speaker 2: should go to Philadelphia, And I lay list out all
Speaker 2: this different reasons that I go. But I worked with
Speaker 2: Howie for two years and he's not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: So I'm selfishly hoping Dan just for you because you
Speaker 2: know this now, I'm hoping that they do shock the
Speaker 2: world and take him, just so that my one, my
Speaker 2: one person watching here and Dan Patrick can see my
Speaker 2: live reaction on the air and just see me turn
Speaker 2: flesh white that he actually that he actually did it.
Speaker 1: I I love Bjeon Robinson and and I think that
Speaker 1: personality is wonderful. That the position obviously is flawed financially,
Speaker 1: but if I know I can get a difference maker,
Speaker 1: like what would stop the Jets from taking Bijon Robinson,
Speaker 1: he helps you out immediately.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think with Breis Hall and what we saw
Speaker 2: from him last year, I think he can do a
Speaker 2: lot of those things. You know, I think they're actually
Speaker 2: pretty similar players. But I would put it this way,
Speaker 2: this would be my sales pitch in the draft room.
Speaker 2: So let's go back to twenty twelve. I'll jump into
Speaker 2: the Philly draft room and I would make this case.
Speaker 2: Let's rebrand it. Let's not talk about running backs. Let's
Speaker 2: look at this as an ow We're gonna call him
Speaker 2: an offensive weapon. And if you look at the team
Speaker 2: that is our nemesis or our competition in conference, it
Speaker 2: is US and the forty nine ers. They have McCaffrey,
Speaker 2: they have Debo. We could have our own version of
Speaker 2: that here with b Jhon Robinson. And if if Deebo
Speaker 2: Samuel is a major and wide receiver who miners in
Speaker 2: running back, we're going to have a b Jon Robinson
Speaker 2: who majors in running back and minors as a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree. When we add him on, I said,
Speaker 1: I see as a Deebo Samuel kind of weapon here, Yes,
Speaker 1: And that's the way I would use him. He's got
Speaker 1: wonderful hands and you're, you know, it just feels like
Speaker 1: he's got star power.
Speaker 2: So I think we could get together on this thing,
Speaker 2: and we're kind of forming a running back union. We're rebranding.
Speaker 2: We're calling them offens weapons. Not everybody's going to fall
Speaker 2: into that. You're going to have still have your three
Speaker 2: yard and cloud of dust type backs. But for guys
Speaker 2: like b John Robinson, let's let's put him in a
Speaker 2: different category.
Speaker 1: If Hendon Hooker was twenty twenty two, I.
Speaker 2: Think I think he'd be a lock as a first
Speaker 2: round pick. And I don't think even you know, I
Speaker 2: think he's got a good opportunity to go in the
Speaker 2: first round. As you know somebody who's older, But to me,
Speaker 2: it's not as big of an issue as it used
Speaker 2: to be because if you look at the quarterbacks that
Speaker 2: have flopped recently, as I mentioned with the number of starts, like,
Speaker 2: it's the inexperienced, younger guys who are getting thrown out
Speaker 2: of the field and aren't ready for it. And if
Speaker 2: you look at the value picks in the draft, look
Speaker 2: at the starting quarterbacks that were taken outside the first round.
Speaker 2: When you look at you know, the Kirk Cousins, the
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott's. We saw it last year with Rock Purty.
Speaker 2: Those guys played a ton of ball, a little bit older, arrived,
Speaker 2: a little bit more mature, a little bit more experienced.
Speaker 2: So I don't think that's frowned upon quite as much
Speaker 2: as it would have been a few years back.
Speaker 1: Wildest rumor you've heard.
Speaker 2: Oh God, last night, I heard a rumor that the
Speaker 2: Titans were going to trade up to eight to secure
Speaker 2: Anthony and Richardson to try and keep anybody else from
Speaker 2: moving up to get him, and then Ryan Tannehill was
Speaker 2: going to get traded to the Arizona Cardinals. So that
Speaker 2: was a rumor that was floating around last night. I
Speaker 2: don't know what you do with it.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, sometimes you don't want to hear those they
Speaker 1: when I covered the NBA draft and you would hear
Speaker 1: these rumors and then I didn't want to cloud my
Speaker 1: head with the possibility of something like that because just
Speaker 1: like you said, I don't know what I do with this.
Speaker 2: I don't know. But if you mean that's the that's
Speaker 2: the beauty of being in this spot, right, Like like
Speaker 2: ian Ian rapport, you know, he's got to vet that
Speaker 2: type of stuff. I'm like, wow, I've heard a million stories.
Speaker 2: That's just the latest one that I've heard.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's been quiet on the Lamar Jackson front. Feels
Speaker 1: like that's how a good thing.
Speaker 2: I think that the waters have calmed there. Now, that's
Speaker 2: kind of the vibe that I get. I think the
Speaker 2: I think the Odell Beckham move was a little bit
Speaker 2: of an olive branch to him saying, Okay, hey, we're
Speaker 2: gonna we've got a new offensive coordinator. It's going to
Speaker 2: play a little bit more to you as a passer
Speaker 2: than maybe the previous offense. That's one olive branch. Now
Speaker 2: we bring in Odell Beckham. Okay, I can't say we're
Speaker 2: not investing in weapons and receivers. So I don't know
Speaker 2: if they're able to come together on a long term deal.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't feel like there's this collision course that
Speaker 2: maybe we were headed on a month ago.
Speaker 1: And then DeAndre Hopkins, I don't know if he's going
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, if he's going to go to Baltimore. Any
Speaker 1: thoughts on You know, Arizona's ready to unload him. But
Speaker 1: who's going to take that contract?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's there's two sides of that. I
Speaker 2: think you hit it. I mean, I think Arizona would
Speaker 2: be happy to move on and continue to kind of
Speaker 2: take this thing down to the studs. But I don't
Speaker 2: know who's gonna you know, who's going to be in
Speaker 2: on that. Buffalo is a team that you hear rumored.
Speaker 2: I know there's you know, there's some talk with Buffalo
Speaker 2: with wide receivers in this draft, and maybe Digs can
Speaker 2: spend some more time in the slot. So, you know,
Speaker 2: looking at some mouth side receivers in the draft, and
Speaker 2: if you know, if you're gonna move, let Digs play
Speaker 2: a little bit in the slot. Then having Hopkins on
Speaker 2: the outside would be a pretty pretty fun combination, provided
Speaker 2: he's healthy and the player that we you know, we
Speaker 2: remember him being.
Speaker 1: Let me go back to the Titans. You mentioned that
Speaker 1: the wild rumors maybe they go up and get Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 1: Have they moved on from Malik Willis.
Speaker 2: I don't get that. I don't get that sense that
Speaker 2: they've completely moved on. But I don't think there's you know,
Speaker 2: I don't think the faith and trust has been put
Speaker 2: in him that Okay, we have our future quarterback going forward.
Speaker 2: I think there's a balance saying we haven't given up
Speaker 2: on someone, but.
Speaker 1: He's a process. We're looking Daniel very much, so you
Speaker 1: can't go back. Yeah, we saw enough after one year.
Speaker 1: We're moving on from him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say they're dating. I would say they
Speaker 2: would refer to themselves as in a committed relationship.
Speaker 1: Have fun tonight.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, buddy. I've got to make sure you
Speaker 2: got my new phone number, Dan, because I always appreciate
Speaker 2: your texture and this thing.
Speaker 1: You know what, Fritzy, if you have a new phone number,
Speaker 1: contact for Daniel now during the commercial breaks, I'll text you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not when you're on the air, because that's unprofessional.
Speaker 2: No. Well, I would never check Daran while we're on there.
Speaker 2: Come on, Dan, you know you've taught me better than that.
Speaker 1: You've been on the set where guys are checking their phones.
Speaker 2: I've been on the set when guys are checking their
Speaker 2: phones as the camera.
Speaker 1: Have fun tonight. I'll try to only annoy you during
Speaker 1: the commercial breaks.

Speaker 1: In case you're curious, Sho Heo Tani pitching against the
Speaker 1: A's over under for strikeouts according to DraftKings eight and
Speaker 1: a half and plus four hundred two hit a home run.
Speaker 1: Do the Angels and A's play every week? It feels
Speaker 1: like by the way the A's off to it. Historically
Speaker 1: bad start as far as scoring runs. And you know
Speaker 1: we pointed this out. They're going to move to Vegas
Speaker 1: here in a couple of years, building a new stadium there.
Speaker 1: But they've had success over the last eleven years. I
Speaker 1: think they've made the postseason six times. But they are
Speaker 1: historically bad this year. Yeah, pum.
Speaker 5: They've been outscored this season. The Oakland A's they're five
Speaker 5: and twenty. They've been outscored by one hundred and twelve runs. Yeah,
Speaker 5: which is pretty glack.
Speaker 1: That is bad.
Speaker 5: That might be an all time record for this point
Speaker 5: in the season. The next worst team no offense is
Speaker 5: the Kansas City Royals, have been outscored by fifty three
Speaker 5: runs this year, less than half.
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls in here, Chris and Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Hey Chris, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: By the way, before I get to you, Chris. The
Speaker 1: Kansas City weather for tonight's draft, since it will be
Speaker 1: outdoors for the fans, PAULI Dan.
Speaker 5: It looks like a lovely day in Kansas City. High
Speaker 5: of sixty five, cloudy, which is good, so you don't
Speaker 5: get sunburn out there where some block Okay, but tonight
Speaker 5: when the first pick goes off in the draft, it's
Speaker 5: probably be about fifty eight degrees mostly cloudy, no almost
Speaker 5: zero chancell rain.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, Hey Chris and Tennessee.
Speaker 9: Hey, how are you guys?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 12: Good good. I was just calling to let you guys know.
Speaker 12: You know, I'm sure both of your listeners that are
Speaker 12: regulars would agree. Number one, you are. You all come
Speaker 12: across as very humble and authentic people who are confident,
Speaker 12: you know, and non self seeking and non controversial and
Speaker 12: very gentlemanly. And often those types of people don't win
Speaker 12: awards and get recognition. But you guys know that you're
Speaker 12: professional and are good at what you do. And probably
Speaker 12: the best and the best thing that I can say
Speaker 12: is when you guys do fold the show. Whenever that
Speaker 12: happens one day, your listeners, your loyal audience, will be
Speaker 12: crushed and it's going to take them some time to
Speaker 12: recover and get over it. And that wouldn't happen to
Speaker 12: too many other people out there.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Chris. One of the best compliments I
Speaker 1: get is you sound like a group of guys I'd
Speaker 1: like to have a beer with. And that's kind of
Speaker 1: the goal that you know, us, and you would be
Speaker 1: comfortable around us and having fun. But I told the
Speaker 1: dan Ets that I want to do this as long
Speaker 1: as we're having fun. I don't need to do this,
Speaker 1: but I love doing it. And as long as we're
Speaker 1: having fun, it's easy to go to work. So if
Speaker 1: I decide that I don't want to do it anymore,
Speaker 1: then your blame should be on the dan Nets because
Speaker 1: we're not having fun, because you guys screwed it up.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm having a good time day to day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: day to day. No, I'm not day to day. But
Speaker 1: you know, aren't we all on the clock when you
Speaker 1: think about.
Speaker 11: It like life?
Speaker 1: You mean, yeah, we're all on the clock, going we're
Speaker 1: gonna go dark.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: I'm not going dark. I'm just who dies first? I'm
Speaker 1: going oh whole question, who dies first? Now, let's not
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 3: I don't rack MyD on this.
Speaker 1: Dustin in Alabama, dust in the wind, day, dustin.
Speaker 13: We are in dustin the wind. Actually that's not a
Speaker 13: lot time ten two hundred and second time calling. So
Speaker 13: I was also calling, giv me some thanks and praise.
Speaker 13: I don't know to be a bouquet of flowers like
Speaker 13: the guy from Tennessee. But for a different reason South Alabama.
Speaker 13: You know, college football kind of rules down here for
Speaker 13: our TV viewing Alabama fans with my two boys and
Speaker 13: some pro football. But I also volunteer coach you golf
Speaker 13: on the weekend, so we tend to watch a lot
Speaker 13: of golf and do that. But note on what's really
Speaker 13: basketball fans or players. However, the last two years I've
Speaker 13: listened to your show for many years. The last two
Speaker 13: years I've really tuned in a lot to your NBA
Speaker 13: and college basketball interviews and commentary and stats of the
Speaker 13: day obviously, and it's really gotten me into it in
Speaker 13: my children as well at thirteen and ten year old
Speaker 13: point and to the point now that like I mean,
Speaker 13: every player game they want to watch good. They even
Speaker 13: helped me do a couple of draft team line up,
Speaker 13: so they've really gotten into it. And I just, I mean,
Speaker 13: I appreciate it. You're againting the people you have on
Speaker 13: in the interviews you do get all the commentary is
Speaker 13: just really excellent. So wellbia's got some new viewers.
Speaker 1: But thank you, thank you, Dustin. And Gilbert Arenas is
Speaker 1: going to join his coming up next hour. He was
Speaker 1: great last time. By the way, a lot of reaction
Speaker 1: from Meryl Hodge yesterday. I worked with Meryll at ESPN,
Speaker 1: former running back with the Steelers, and he was longtime
Speaker 1: analyst for the Mothership. He wasn't a hot take guy.
Speaker 1: He goes into it almost in workmanlike fashion of assessing
Speaker 1: the draft picks. He doesn't fall in love. He's not
Speaker 1: a cheerleader. He's not influenced by agents or anybody like that.
Speaker 1: He just gives you a systematic approach to why he
Speaker 1: likes somebody and why he does it. And the reaction
Speaker 1: was great because it was some thing different. Usually you
Speaker 1: get somebody on or you're watching TV and you know
Speaker 1: they're yelling, they're shouting at you. They might have an agenda.
Speaker 1: Merril doesn't have an agenda. I just asked him to
Speaker 1: come on and had great respect for him when he
Speaker 1: was at the Mothership because he just did his homework.
Speaker 1: That's it. And it wasn't a he's not a me guy,
Speaker 1: He's a wee guy. He wanted it. He wanted to
Speaker 1: be professional in assessing these players, and he did that
Speaker 1: yesterday because he said, look, Bryce Young, you got to
Speaker 1: be prepared to not have him for a couple of games,
Speaker 1: you know, a matter of fact approach of he's going
Speaker 1: to be injured. He thinks c J. Stroud is the
Speaker 1: one quarterback who should be drafted in the first round.
Speaker 1: And he was one who kind of fought back to
Speaker 1: skip Beatos, saying you're crazy to think Johnny Manziel should
Speaker 1: go in the first round. He shouldn't go in the
Speaker 1: first three rounds. Final hour on the way, more phone calls.
Speaker 1: We're back after this and The Dan Patrick Show.
