1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:23,986
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up Everybody? We are

3
00:00:24,066 --> 00:00:27,786
Speaker 1: less than ten days away from the NFL Draft and

4
00:00:27,826 --> 00:00:30,026
Speaker 1: this is the Season with Peter Schrager and I take

5
00:00:30,066 --> 00:00:33,426
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in doing just two mock drafts.

6
00:00:34,066 --> 00:00:39,026
Speaker 1: Won the week before, won the day before. Right now

7
00:00:39,586 --> 00:00:43,626
Speaker 1: it's time to jump in to my first mock draft.

8
00:00:43,706 --> 00:00:47,386
Speaker 1: Que the music pump. I almost want to have the

9
00:00:47,786 --> 00:00:50,786
Speaker 1: Alan Parson's project to the Chicago Bulls theme as we

10
00:00:50,826 --> 00:00:52,746
Speaker 1: build up here, because the Bears are the first team

11
00:00:52,826 --> 00:00:55,706
Speaker 1: on the clock. No delay here. Let's get right into

12
00:00:55,826 --> 00:01:01,146
Speaker 1: it first overall, pick the Chicago Bears. Select Aleb Williams

13
00:01:01,266 --> 00:01:05,586
Speaker 1: quarterback at a usc I reported this last week. These

14
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:08,706
Speaker 1: guys have had had three great meetings. The first one

15
00:01:08,746 --> 00:01:11,666
Speaker 1: was at the Combine, second one was at the Pro

16
00:01:11,786 --> 00:01:15,746
Speaker 1: day in La. The Bears brass took Caleb Williams out

17
00:01:15,746 --> 00:01:21,506
Speaker 1: to a really, really cool exclusive dinner club called Bird Streets.

18
00:01:21,546 --> 00:01:25,106
Speaker 1: Now bird Streets is owned by the same guys who

19
00:01:25,146 --> 00:01:29,266
Speaker 1: own Nice Guy and Delilah. These are big Vegas, LA

20
00:01:29,546 --> 00:01:32,306
Speaker 1: and now in Miami there's at Delilah. The group is

21
00:01:32,306 --> 00:01:34,826
Speaker 1: called the h Wood group. They're one of these restaurant

22
00:01:34,866 --> 00:01:37,626
Speaker 1: groups that also does clubs. Bird Streets is like their

23
00:01:37,706 --> 00:01:41,986
Speaker 1: private members club, and they arranged it so that they

24
00:01:41,986 --> 00:01:45,426
Speaker 1: could have Caleb Williams have dinner with them there, and

25
00:01:45,786 --> 00:01:49,226
Speaker 1: the Bears brass was obviously GM, Ryan Poles and Matt Aberflus,

26
00:01:49,226 --> 00:01:52,746
Speaker 1: couple other people joined and I was told from Bear

27
00:01:52,826 --> 00:01:56,066
Speaker 1: sources the night they had their dinner at Bird Streets,

28
00:01:56,146 --> 00:01:59,746
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox was there. Cuavo Quevo, I don't know, Quevo

29
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,946
Speaker 1: from the Migos was there and they were all coming

30
00:02:01,986 --> 00:02:03,706
Speaker 1: over and saying what's up to Caleb Williams, and the

31
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:07,186
Speaker 1: Bears were blown away with how Caleb himself at dinner

32
00:02:07,186 --> 00:02:10,066
Speaker 1: and also handing himself in that la scene. Then two

33
00:02:10,146 --> 00:02:13,466
Speaker 1: weeks later, it's the only visit Caleb Williams has taken

34
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:17,226
Speaker 1: as a draft prospect. It was in Chicago. Caleb goes

35
00:02:17,706 --> 00:02:21,786
Speaker 1: to the facility in Lake Forest, Illinois, and the dinner

36
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:26,426
Speaker 1: was at a restaurant in Lake Forest, which I thought

37
00:02:26,546 --> 00:02:29,586
Speaker 1: was interesting. They had it in Lake Forest, not in Chicago,

38
00:02:29,906 --> 00:02:32,426
Speaker 1: and Caleb was amazing and they were members of the

39
00:02:32,466 --> 00:02:35,666
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears team at this dinner, So you could see

40
00:02:35,706 --> 00:02:37,146
Speaker 1: him interact and then the next day he had his

41
00:02:37,346 --> 00:02:39,586
Speaker 1: visit at Hallis Hall and blew him away. They're all

42
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:41,746
Speaker 1: in on Caleb Williams, and it sounds like Caleb Williams

43
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:44,746
Speaker 1: is all in on them Great Bears. Caleb Williams put

44
00:02:44,746 --> 00:02:49,586
Speaker 1: it in number two. Commanders. Commanders have a really interesting

45
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:52,626
Speaker 1: off season. They bring in Dan Quinn. They bring in

46
00:02:52,786 --> 00:02:56,546
Speaker 1: Bob Myers, who is the Golden State Warriors general manager,

47
00:02:56,586 --> 00:03:00,306
Speaker 1: who helped with the hiring of the general manager position

48
00:03:00,386 --> 00:03:03,586
Speaker 1: which was Adam Peters from the San Francisco forty nine Ers.

49
00:03:03,586 --> 00:03:07,546
Speaker 1: They bring in Cliff Kingsbury. In recent weeks, they've made

50
00:03:07,546 --> 00:03:11,706
Speaker 1: a bunch of different acquisitions. They've also quietly today which

51
00:03:11,746 --> 00:03:15,986
Speaker 1: is Monday, announced the hiring of Dave Gardy. You say,

52
00:03:15,986 --> 00:03:19,706
Speaker 1: who's Dave Gardy. Dave Gardy has worked at the league forever.

53
00:03:19,906 --> 00:03:21,666
Speaker 1: His father, I believe it was the head coach at

54
00:03:21,706 --> 00:03:24,626
Speaker 1: Hostra for many years. But Gardy has been a league

55
00:03:24,666 --> 00:03:28,466
Speaker 1: employee who works in the operations and the management council

56
00:03:28,626 --> 00:03:31,746
Speaker 1: and is pretty much like the go to guy for

57
00:03:31,906 --> 00:03:35,306
Speaker 1: all salary, cap and transaction things at the league. So

58
00:03:35,346 --> 00:03:37,746
Speaker 1: everything and every team they have questions or complaints they

59
00:03:37,786 --> 00:03:42,346
Speaker 1: would go to Gardy. Gardy also had this group beneath him,

60
00:03:42,626 --> 00:03:45,546
Speaker 1: like the Management Council, which is basically a feeder system

61
00:03:45,546 --> 00:03:48,226
Speaker 1: to all the teams for team presidents, team gms, and

62
00:03:48,626 --> 00:03:51,466
Speaker 1: the list goes on whether it's Brent Tillis who now

63
00:03:51,546 --> 00:03:54,586
Speaker 1: runs the Panthers, or it's Mikey Greenberg and Tampa, or

64
00:03:54,666 --> 00:03:58,666
Speaker 1: Mike Disner who is the man up in Detroit. Like

65
00:03:58,706 --> 00:04:02,706
Speaker 1: all these guys and ladies as well Jackie Davidson who's

66
00:04:02,706 --> 00:04:05,706
Speaker 1: down in Tampa, and several others. They all worked at

67
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:07,946
Speaker 1: the Management Council at the League Office and then they

68
00:04:08,026 --> 00:04:10,346
Speaker 1: end up getting jobs at teams, whether they're the number two,

69
00:04:10,386 --> 00:04:13,186
Speaker 1: number three people in the front office. Guardy was kind

70
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:15,666
Speaker 1: of like the guy who ran it all. Shocker to me,

71
00:04:16,306 --> 00:04:18,546
Speaker 1: Guardy's leaving the League Office to go work for the

72
00:04:18,586 --> 00:04:20,706
Speaker 1: Commanders and like what seems to be like a nebulous title,

73
00:04:20,826 --> 00:04:23,466
Speaker 1: a new title, and from what I gather, they're just

74
00:04:23,506 --> 00:04:25,986
Speaker 1: trying to bring about as many smart in the no

75
00:04:26,986 --> 00:04:29,826
Speaker 1: leaders as possible. And this is going to be a

76
00:04:29,866 --> 00:04:32,786
Speaker 1: collective decision. This isn't going to be one where the owner,

77
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:35,466
Speaker 1: Josh Harrister says, I want this quarterback I have the

78
00:04:35,466 --> 00:04:39,506
Speaker 1: commanders sticking Jaden Daniels, LSU quarterback, the Heisman winner actually

79
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:41,666
Speaker 1: waged in more at his pro day than anyone expected

80
00:04:42,186 --> 00:04:45,666
Speaker 1: as of today, which is Monday afternoon. I think it's

81
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:48,466
Speaker 1: Daniels over May. I don't think it's a trade back.

82
00:04:48,626 --> 00:04:50,386
Speaker 1: They have six picks in the top one hundred, this

83
00:04:50,426 --> 00:04:53,666
Speaker 1: would be their first one, and you have Jaden Daniels,

84
00:04:53,666 --> 00:04:58,266
Speaker 1: the LSU quarterback working in Cliff Kingsbury's offense, with Adam

85
00:04:58,306 --> 00:05:02,666
Speaker 1: Peters's first selection being the Heisman Trophy winner out of LSU,

86
00:05:02,946 --> 00:05:06,226
Speaker 1: which leads to the Patriots at number three. Put them

87
00:05:06,266 --> 00:05:09,506
Speaker 1: on the clock. Patriots, you're gonna hear a lot of

88
00:05:09,586 --> 00:05:12,666
Speaker 1: trade back smoke, and it might happen. But I think

89
00:05:12,746 --> 00:05:16,186
Speaker 1: New England's new brass would actually be very comfortable with

90
00:05:16,306 --> 00:05:20,266
Speaker 1: either Daniels or May, or maybe even McCarthy. So I

91
00:05:20,266 --> 00:05:22,946
Speaker 1: could tell you they took May out to stakes at

92
00:05:22,946 --> 00:05:27,226
Speaker 1: a restaurant called Davios in Patriot Place before his Foxborough

93
00:05:27,306 --> 00:05:30,626
Speaker 1: visit and they loved him. They also loved Daniels, and

94
00:05:30,706 --> 00:05:35,026
Speaker 1: then on Sunday night it was dinner with JJ McCarthy

95
00:05:35,066 --> 00:05:38,626
Speaker 1: and he's there today Monday in Foxborough. All that is great.

96
00:05:38,946 --> 00:05:41,626
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a quarterback, and I

97
00:05:41,626 --> 00:05:44,466
Speaker 1: think it's Drake May University of North Carolina. And I

98
00:05:44,466 --> 00:05:47,386
Speaker 1: think the Patriots Mac Jones was traded for like a

99
00:05:47,426 --> 00:05:49,746
Speaker 1: ham sandwich. He's out of the picture. They did not

100
00:05:50,026 --> 00:05:52,346
Speaker 1: have a very busy offseason. I don't understand what the

101
00:05:52,386 --> 00:05:57,106
Speaker 1: strategy has been. I think in the draft they go offense, offense, offense, offense, offense, offense,

102
00:05:57,186 --> 00:06:00,546
Speaker 1: and Drake May University of North Carolina quarterback is the

103
00:06:00,546 --> 00:06:03,986
Speaker 1: Patriots quarterback of the future, which leads to the Arizona

104
00:06:03,986 --> 00:06:08,426
Speaker 1: Cardinals at number four can stay put and they could

105
00:06:08,466 --> 00:06:11,306
Speaker 1: take Marvin Harrison Junior. They could be very happy Kyler

106
00:06:11,386 --> 00:06:15,106
Speaker 1: Murray has a receiver to gir old with and we're good.

107
00:06:16,266 --> 00:06:19,746
Speaker 1: Or the Arizona Cardinals can dangle that pick to a

108
00:06:19,826 --> 00:06:23,546
Speaker 1: host of teams who are looking to move north. When

109
00:06:23,586 --> 00:06:25,626
Speaker 1: I say move north, I mean coming from the back

110
00:06:25,666 --> 00:06:29,066
Speaker 1: of the draft up. Those teams could include the Las

111
00:06:29,186 --> 00:06:33,106
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders to go get JJ McCarthy. That could include

112
00:06:33,106 --> 00:06:36,306
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos to go get J. J. McCarthy. It

113
00:06:36,386 --> 00:06:38,906
Speaker 1: could include the Minnesota Vikings who have the eleven and

114
00:06:38,986 --> 00:06:42,226
Speaker 1: the twenty three to go get JJ McCarthy. But the

115
00:06:42,266 --> 00:06:45,826
Speaker 1: team that I have trading up to get JJ McCarthy

116
00:06:45,866 --> 00:06:48,146
Speaker 1: fourth overall is going to shock a lot of folks.

117
00:06:49,546 --> 00:06:54,626
Speaker 1: There is a trade made in the Arizona Cardinals give

118
00:06:54,706 --> 00:07:00,586
Speaker 1: up the fourth overall pick and in exchange get the

119
00:07:00,746 --> 00:07:04,546
Speaker 1: sixth overall pick, a third round pick, and next year's

120
00:07:04,586 --> 00:07:08,106
Speaker 1: second round pick of the New York Giants. And the

121
00:07:08,226 --> 00:07:11,186
Speaker 1: Giants move up from six to four, and it is

122
00:07:11,226 --> 00:07:16,746
Speaker 1: the Giants who select JJ McCarthy with the fourth overall pick.

123
00:07:17,306 --> 00:07:22,666
Speaker 1: They go quarterback. Daniel Jones, of course is still there,

124
00:07:23,226 --> 00:07:25,906
Speaker 1: still do forty something million this year. But I've got

125
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:29,146
Speaker 1: the Giants and Joe Shane, who did not draft Daniel Jones,

126
00:07:30,226 --> 00:07:36,506
Speaker 1: making a move trading up and going and getting JJ

127
00:07:37,026 --> 00:07:41,346
Speaker 1: McCarthy number five the Chargers, as everyone's still in all

128
00:07:41,946 --> 00:07:44,986
Speaker 1: with their jaws on the ground to that one, Chargers

129
00:07:45,026 --> 00:07:48,586
Speaker 1: select Marvin Harrison Junior. They get the envelope in there quick.

130
00:07:48,586 --> 00:07:51,626
Speaker 1: I know some teams like neighbors more than Harrison. I

131
00:07:51,666 --> 00:07:53,666
Speaker 1: know one team likes a dooonesay more than both of them,

132
00:07:53,906 --> 00:07:56,506
Speaker 1: but I think Harrison is the pick. They got rid

133
00:07:56,586 --> 00:08:00,106
Speaker 1: of Keenan Allen in a trade they didn't sign back

134
00:08:00,346 --> 00:08:04,226
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. There is any wide receiver need. They've got

135
00:08:04,306 --> 00:08:07,746
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, and I think im Harbaugh saw Marvin Harrison

136
00:08:07,746 --> 00:08:09,986
Speaker 1: for many years at Michigan. I like that fit. That's

137
00:08:10,026 --> 00:08:14,586
Speaker 1: the fifth overall pick. Cardinals traded back two spots. They

138
00:08:14,586 --> 00:08:18,066
Speaker 1: go in. They get Roma Dunsay at a Washington. They

139
00:08:18,066 --> 00:08:19,866
Speaker 1: get a number one guy for Kyler Murray, and they

140
00:08:19,906 --> 00:08:24,426
Speaker 1: get a smart, tough, building block player. Adunzay's awesome. He

141
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:28,186
Speaker 1: is a blue chip number one. Cardinals pick up a

142
00:08:28,186 --> 00:08:30,426
Speaker 1: couple other picks and they get a Dounza. They also

143
00:08:30,506 --> 00:08:32,666
Speaker 1: have the Houston Texans first round pick later in the

144
00:08:32,706 --> 00:08:35,666
Speaker 1: first round. Very very big draft of the Cardinals. If

145
00:08:35,666 --> 00:08:38,106
Speaker 1: they start off with Adunza, I think that's good. Leads

146
00:08:38,146 --> 00:08:41,866
Speaker 1: to seven. Tennessee went back and forth. Here Joe Alt

147
00:08:41,906 --> 00:08:45,186
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle at a Notre Dame, or Malik Neighbors,

148
00:08:45,226 --> 00:08:48,386
Speaker 1: the electric wide receiver at LSU. I've got Tennessee taking

149
00:08:48,586 --> 00:08:51,226
Speaker 1: Joe Alt, the offensive tackle at a Notre Dame, six

150
00:08:51,266 --> 00:08:54,946
Speaker 1: foot seven, nimble son of a former NFL offensive tackle

151
00:08:55,466 --> 00:08:59,106
Speaker 1: and a towering protector of Will Levis's blindside for years

152
00:08:59,146 --> 00:09:01,026
Speaker 1: to come. You want to talk about a good offseason,

153
00:09:01,386 --> 00:09:05,666
Speaker 1: if Tennessee could add Ridley, and they could add Joe

154
00:09:05,666 --> 00:09:10,306
Speaker 1: Alt and they could you know, Tony Pollard. This is

155
00:09:10,346 --> 00:09:14,746
Speaker 1: a good offseason for the Tennessee Titans, and all is

156
00:09:14,946 --> 00:09:20,786
Speaker 1: the number one tackle in this draft Atlanta. Malik Neighbors

157
00:09:20,866 --> 00:09:24,066
Speaker 1: is sitting there. Could Atlanta possibly take him in the

158
00:09:24,106 --> 00:09:27,426
Speaker 1: same offseason they got Rondell Moore and they got Mooney,

159
00:09:27,586 --> 00:09:30,866
Speaker 1: and they also already have Drake London and they already

160
00:09:30,866 --> 00:09:33,346
Speaker 1: have taken Kyle Pitts and Bijon Robinson with first round

161
00:09:33,466 --> 00:09:36,346
Speaker 1: top ten picks. I say no, I go with Atlanta,

162
00:09:36,426 --> 00:09:40,386
Speaker 1: going with Dallas Turner, defensive end out of Alabama. They

163
00:09:40,426 --> 00:09:42,106
Speaker 1: add to the defense here. He was a three year

164
00:09:42,146 --> 00:09:46,026
Speaker 1: starter at Alabama stud I think he's the first defensive

165
00:09:46,026 --> 00:09:48,986
Speaker 1: player taken in this draft, which leads to number nine.

166
00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:52,066
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears. They could just look at this thing

167
00:09:52,186 --> 00:09:54,506
Speaker 1: and they could take Melik Neighbors and be done with

168
00:09:54,586 --> 00:09:57,506
Speaker 1: it and be happy and walk on and continue to

169
00:09:57,586 --> 00:10:01,466
Speaker 1: keep I say they trade the pick. Bears trade the pick,

170
00:10:01,506 --> 00:10:03,506
Speaker 1: and who do they trade it to? Who's coming up?

171
00:10:04,186 --> 00:10:06,386
Speaker 1: How about that one team in the end, AFC South,

172
00:10:06,546 --> 00:10:10,106
Speaker 1: who has been very quiet with signing outside talent and

173
00:10:10,226 --> 00:10:15,746
Speaker 1: yet actually has a window to win. That's the Indianapolis Colts.

174
00:10:15,746 --> 00:10:18,626
Speaker 1: I've got the Colts moving up from fifteen to nine.

175
00:10:18,906 --> 00:10:21,426
Speaker 1: They swap a first and they give a future second.

176
00:10:21,466 --> 00:10:24,026
Speaker 1: They move up. They get neighbors the star wide out

177
00:10:24,026 --> 00:10:26,786
Speaker 1: out of LSU in an AFC South. Like I said,

178
00:10:26,866 --> 00:10:29,506
Speaker 1: that's all the Jaguars, Texans, and Titans be very aggressive

179
00:10:29,506 --> 00:10:32,066
Speaker 1: in free agency GM Chris Ballard shows he's got a

180
00:10:32,106 --> 00:10:34,186
Speaker 1: trick up his sleeve. He goes up and gets neighbors.

181
00:10:34,346 --> 00:10:37,386
Speaker 1: Now you've got Anthony Richardson at quarterback. You got Pittman

182
00:10:37,466 --> 00:10:39,986
Speaker 1: and Pierce at the wide receiver spots. Now you've got neighbors.

183
00:10:40,026 --> 00:10:43,106
Speaker 1: Who's probably your number one Jets at ten. I've heard

184
00:10:43,106 --> 00:10:45,546
Speaker 1: from a lot of people Jets are a prime prospect

185
00:10:45,546 --> 00:10:48,426
Speaker 1: to move back here. I don't see it. I've got

186
00:10:48,466 --> 00:10:51,946
Speaker 1: Brock Bowers going tenth overall to the New York Jets.

187
00:10:52,026 --> 00:10:54,506
Speaker 1: I think they stick and hold tight. I love Bowers.

188
00:10:54,866 --> 00:10:56,946
Speaker 1: I love Bowers for a year now. I think a

189
00:10:56,946 --> 00:10:59,146
Speaker 1: lot of teams love Bowers. He is by far the

190
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:02,106
Speaker 1: number one tight end prospect in this league, in this draft,

191
00:11:02,186 --> 00:11:05,986
Speaker 1: and he also has incredible yards after catch ability. Rock

192
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:08,826
Speaker 1: Bowers goes ten. All right to recap, Aaron, should I

193
00:11:08,826 --> 00:11:10,466
Speaker 1: go through my one to ten real quick for you

194
00:11:10,506 --> 00:11:14,146
Speaker 1: and give me your initial thoughts? Go Caleb one to

195
00:11:14,186 --> 00:11:19,946
Speaker 1: the Bears, awesome, Commanders sick, Jayden Daniels. Patriots take Drake May,

196
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:25,066
Speaker 1: Giants trade up six to four and get JJ McCarthy

197
00:11:25,146 --> 00:11:28,906
Speaker 1: with Alt Neighbors Harrison all on the board. They go,

198
00:11:29,026 --> 00:11:31,146
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. Your thoughts on that one.

199
00:11:32,026 --> 00:11:34,986
Speaker 2: I think the Giants trading up to four is the

200
00:11:35,026 --> 00:11:39,226
Speaker 2: most surprising to me, because that's six to four is

201
00:11:39,306 --> 00:11:42,506
Speaker 2: not that far of a trade. And I don't know

202
00:11:42,666 --> 00:11:47,546
Speaker 2: if JJ would be gone. But man, seeing Marvin Rome

203
00:11:47,626 --> 00:11:50,786
Speaker 2: and a Duneza, I mean Marvin Rome and Neighbor's going

204
00:11:51,306 --> 00:11:54,026
Speaker 2: by nine and then Bowers at ten. It's amazing the

205
00:11:54,066 --> 00:11:56,706
Speaker 2: pass catchers that early up and like you said, Dallas

206
00:11:56,746 --> 00:11:58,386
Speaker 2: Turner the only defensive player so far.

207
00:11:58,586 --> 00:12:01,826
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Chargers five go Marvin Harrison, and then like

208
00:12:01,866 --> 00:12:05,106
Speaker 1: you said, six a Dunzay to the Cardinals. Titans take

209
00:12:05,146 --> 00:12:09,666
Speaker 1: Alt Turner two, Atlanta Neighbors nine to the Colts, and

210
00:12:09,706 --> 00:12:12,346
Speaker 1: then the Jets take Brock Bowers at ten, which leads

211
00:12:12,346 --> 00:12:15,626
Speaker 1: the Vikings at eleven. Vikings do not move up to

212
00:12:15,626 --> 00:12:17,906
Speaker 1: get JJ McCarthy. In my mind, draft, who cares. I

213
00:12:18,306 --> 00:12:22,466
Speaker 1: just don't have them giving, you know, having enough Amo,

214
00:12:22,546 --> 00:12:26,026
Speaker 1: even with the twenty third overall pick. Instead, I've got

215
00:12:26,066 --> 00:12:31,466
Speaker 1: the Vikings selecting Terry and Arnold defensive back out of Alabama.

216
00:12:31,506 --> 00:12:34,626
Speaker 1: They stay put and they get what I'm told is

217
00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:38,746
Speaker 1: a one of one kid and an all around incredible,

218
00:12:38,986 --> 00:12:41,786
Speaker 1: incredible leader. He was a red shirt sophomore, but he

219
00:12:41,866 --> 00:12:44,506
Speaker 1: arrived in Tuscaloosa as a safety, played inside and outside,

220
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:49,786
Speaker 1: and I'm told interviews incredible and saying Sam Darnold will

221
00:12:49,786 --> 00:12:52,226
Speaker 1: be the day one starter in the scenario, because if

222
00:12:52,266 --> 00:12:55,026
Speaker 1: you're not taking a quarterback up here, you're going with

223
00:12:55,106 --> 00:12:57,386
Speaker 1: Donald who you signed for one year, ten million dollars.

224
00:12:58,226 --> 00:13:02,466
Speaker 1: They go Terryan Arnold number twelve Broncos. They miss out

225
00:13:02,506 --> 00:13:05,266
Speaker 1: on quarterbacks too. Is it too soon to take Bo

226
00:13:05,466 --> 00:13:08,106
Speaker 1: Nix or Michael Penn? I think it is. I think

227
00:13:08,106 --> 00:13:12,506
Speaker 1: they go with Leatu Latu at a UCLA Denver Broncos twelve.

228
00:13:12,986 --> 00:13:16,186
Speaker 1: Latu viewed by many as the best pure pass rusher

229
00:13:16,186 --> 00:13:18,346
Speaker 1: in this draft. I could see them saying, all right,

230
00:13:18,506 --> 00:13:20,546
Speaker 1: give them to us if he medically checks out, because

231
00:13:20,546 --> 00:13:22,906
Speaker 1: he had this Knick injury that was pretty severe. They

232
00:13:22,946 --> 00:13:25,346
Speaker 1: go with him and then maybe they move back into

233
00:13:25,346 --> 00:13:26,986
Speaker 1: the end of the first round and try to get

234
00:13:27,066 --> 00:13:29,186
Speaker 1: Nix or Pennix if it makes sense. But I got

235
00:13:29,226 --> 00:13:33,546
Speaker 1: them going lat To. We've had one offensive lineman taken

236
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:37,586
Speaker 1: that was Joe Alt thirteen. The Vegas Raiders on the board.

237
00:13:38,186 --> 00:13:42,546
Speaker 1: I have them taking Oulu Fashanu offensive tackle at a

238
00:13:42,626 --> 00:13:46,426
Speaker 1: Penn State. Spoken with a lot of folks around the league.

239
00:13:46,506 --> 00:13:48,786
Speaker 1: Raiders need offense in a lot of ways. If they

240
00:13:48,866 --> 00:13:51,266
Speaker 1: don't get a quarterback and move up to get one,

241
00:13:51,306 --> 00:13:53,826
Speaker 1: if they don't have a chance to get neighbors of

242
00:13:53,906 --> 00:13:56,826
Speaker 1: Dounze or Harrison, look for them to go offensive line

243
00:13:56,826 --> 00:14:00,586
Speaker 1: here and Fashanu is the real deal, maybe the biggest

244
00:14:00,666 --> 00:14:04,466
Speaker 1: upside out of all these offensive tackle prospects, which leads

245
00:14:04,506 --> 00:14:08,306
Speaker 1: to the Saints at fourteen. Fourteen Saints go Tellayse Fuwanga

246
00:14:08,346 --> 00:14:10,746
Speaker 1: Oregon State. He is a tackle boo could play anywhere

247
00:14:10,746 --> 00:14:13,666
Speaker 1: on the offensive line if needed, mean streak. Teams have

248
00:14:13,746 --> 00:14:16,106
Speaker 1: loved meeting with him. Fourteen is a steal for him.

249
00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:18,386
Speaker 1: I've seen him going as as high as top ten

250
00:14:18,426 --> 00:14:21,986
Speaker 1: and other mock drafts. Fifteen Chicago traded down with Indianapolis.

251
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:25,426
Speaker 1: We got at fifteen. Chicago got them taking Quineon Mitchell

252
00:14:25,586 --> 00:14:29,346
Speaker 1: out of Akron. Defensive back. Bear's trade back, and they

253
00:14:29,346 --> 00:14:32,146
Speaker 1: still get the stud defensive back who might go first

254
00:14:32,466 --> 00:14:34,586
Speaker 1: through all the dbs in this draft, Tim or Arnold

255
00:14:35,186 --> 00:14:37,626
Speaker 1: if the ball falls, If the board falls this way,

256
00:14:37,706 --> 00:14:42,666
Speaker 1: Mitchell spectacular dB prospect, was amazing at the Combine was

257
00:14:42,666 --> 00:14:47,186
Speaker 1: insane at the MAC. Small school guy all relative obviously,

258
00:14:47,306 --> 00:14:49,786
Speaker 1: but not a power five guy going to the top

259
00:14:49,786 --> 00:14:52,786
Speaker 1: fifteen Chicago. That would mean they get Caleb Williams, and

260
00:14:52,906 --> 00:14:55,706
Speaker 1: they would get Quineon Mitchell, and they'd pick up another

261
00:14:55,826 --> 00:14:59,946
Speaker 1: draft pick for a future draft. Sixteen Seattle, I have

262
00:15:00,026 --> 00:15:04,946
Speaker 1: them stay in local and drafting Troy Watanu, offensive tackle

263
00:15:04,986 --> 00:15:09,946
Speaker 1: at A Washington for again, big man played offensive tackle,

264
00:15:10,466 --> 00:15:13,786
Speaker 1: can also play guard if necessary. One of those guys

265
00:15:13,866 --> 00:15:18,106
Speaker 1: who I think is going to be a top twenty pick,

266
00:15:18,106 --> 00:15:20,986
Speaker 1: I've got him here going staying local, going to Seattle,

267
00:15:21,386 --> 00:15:27,026
Speaker 1: number seventeen. Jacksonville Jaguars. They take JC Latham out of Alabama.

268
00:15:27,106 --> 00:15:30,786
Speaker 1: Latham could give could go as high as being the

269
00:15:30,826 --> 00:15:33,706
Speaker 1: second offensive tackle taken. Teams like them that much. The

270
00:15:33,746 --> 00:15:35,586
Speaker 1: scenario I have him going here, which is about the fourth

271
00:15:35,626 --> 00:15:38,626
Speaker 1: offensive tackle. Again, this could all change. If I'm the Jaguars,

272
00:15:38,666 --> 00:15:40,906
Speaker 1: You're trying to keep Trevor Lawrence upright, that's the main goal,

273
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:46,026
Speaker 1: and they'll do that here eighteen. Cincinnati Bengals got them

274
00:15:46,026 --> 00:15:49,986
Speaker 1: going defensive tackle Byron Murphy out of Texas, top interior

275
00:15:50,066 --> 00:15:52,666
Speaker 1: defensive line prospect in this class. He's interviewed well, he's

276
00:15:52,666 --> 00:15:55,986
Speaker 1: had a really good combine and pro Day. And they

277
00:15:55,986 --> 00:15:59,466
Speaker 1: got Sheldon Rankins, they got bj Hill. Those guys are

278
00:15:59,506 --> 00:16:04,146
Speaker 1: good defensive tackles inside. But Murphy's stud top twenty pick.

279
00:16:04,226 --> 00:16:06,186
Speaker 1: I think that would be a good fit there eighteen,

280
00:16:06,626 --> 00:16:10,106
Speaker 1: which leaves to the Rams at nineteen. And I'll give

281
00:16:10,106 --> 00:16:12,266
Speaker 1: you my insight on the Rams. You know, Sean McVay

282
00:16:12,426 --> 00:16:15,946
Speaker 1: has never had a first round pick since he's gotten there,

283
00:16:16,066 --> 00:16:18,826
Speaker 1: has never had a first round pick. And I assure you,

284
00:16:19,706 --> 00:16:22,306
Speaker 1: if Sean McVay is taking a first round pick, I'll

285
00:16:22,346 --> 00:16:24,706
Speaker 1: put my name on this. Sean McVay is taking an

286
00:16:24,706 --> 00:16:28,226
Speaker 1: offensive player in the first round. I've got Sean McVay

287
00:16:28,306 --> 00:16:33,226
Speaker 1: taking Tyler Geiton, the offensive tackle out of Oklahoma. This

288
00:16:33,306 --> 00:16:36,426
Speaker 1: is a guy who is super athletic but very raw.

289
00:16:37,026 --> 00:16:38,866
Speaker 1: I could see him as like the right tackle, but

290
00:16:39,306 --> 00:16:42,186
Speaker 1: give him a year and then he's the mainstay. But again,

291
00:16:42,706 --> 00:16:45,346
Speaker 1: more bodies to protect Matthew Stafford. I think Stafford's got

292
00:16:45,346 --> 00:16:48,346
Speaker 1: one to two years left. He's got all these weapons.

293
00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:50,986
Speaker 1: You love Cup, you love Nikua, you love the running back.

294
00:16:51,346 --> 00:16:53,506
Speaker 1: There are other wide receivers that they could take here,

295
00:16:53,506 --> 00:16:56,466
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go offensive tackle, continue to protect nineteen

296
00:16:56,946 --> 00:17:02,066
Speaker 1: Rams Tyler Geyton, which goes to the Steelers. At twenty.

297
00:17:02,706 --> 00:17:05,986
Speaker 1: I have them taking wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior out

298
00:17:05,986 --> 00:17:09,666
Speaker 1: of LS. I'm still keeping an eye on Pittsburgh and

299
00:17:09,826 --> 00:17:12,506
Speaker 1: what Omarkan's going to do at wide receiver. Because you

300
00:17:12,666 --> 00:17:16,146
Speaker 1: got the quarterbacks, there was this expectation that wide receiver

301
00:17:16,306 --> 00:17:19,546
Speaker 1: was next, and in this case, I think they do

302
00:17:19,626 --> 00:17:23,106
Speaker 1: get one in the draft. I like Thomas over a

303
00:17:23,266 --> 00:17:26,786
Speaker 1: d Mitchell. I'm not sure ad Mitchell and George Pickens.

304
00:17:26,826 --> 00:17:29,386
Speaker 1: Thomas is a different type of receiver. Big got the

305
00:17:29,426 --> 00:17:33,946
Speaker 1: hands obviously, and was the combine stud. That is eleven

306
00:17:34,026 --> 00:17:37,786
Speaker 1: through twenty. Real quick, if you're listening, eleven Minnesota Vikings,

307
00:17:37,866 --> 00:17:42,386
Speaker 1: Terry and Arnold defensive back at Alabama Broncos. Twelve Leatu

308
00:17:42,626 --> 00:17:47,346
Speaker 1: Latu at a UCLA the pass rusher. Vegas thirteen takes

309
00:17:47,506 --> 00:17:51,226
Speaker 1: Olu Fashanu at a Penn State the tackle. Saints at

310
00:17:51,266 --> 00:17:55,426
Speaker 1: fourteen takes Hala si fu Wanga, the offensive tackle at

311
00:17:55,466 --> 00:17:59,146
Speaker 1: Oregon State. Chicago trade it's back and at fifteen they

312
00:17:59,146 --> 00:18:02,866
Speaker 1: get quinny On Mitchell, defensive back out at Akron sixteen,

313
00:18:03,026 --> 00:18:07,266
Speaker 1: Seattle takes Troy Fatanu out of Washington and other offensive tackle.

314
00:18:07,346 --> 00:18:11,226
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is another offensive tackle, JC Latham. Bengals go inside

315
00:18:11,266 --> 00:18:15,186
Speaker 1: on defense Byron Murphy, Rams take another offensive tackle and

316
00:18:15,266 --> 00:18:20,426
Speaker 1: Tyler Geiton and the Pittsburgh Steelers take Brian Thomas Junior,

317
00:18:20,466 --> 00:18:23,946
Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of LSU at twenty. Aaron Any

318
00:18:23,986 --> 00:18:25,186
Speaker 1: thoughts eleventh through twenty.

319
00:18:26,306 --> 00:18:29,266
Speaker 2: You know a lot of these teams here could really

320
00:18:29,306 --> 00:18:34,866
Speaker 2: be in the market for a quarterback, like you said, Denver, Vegas, Seattle,

321
00:18:34,946 --> 00:18:37,906
Speaker 2: maybe the Rams, and so it is fascinating to see

322
00:18:37,906 --> 00:18:42,226
Speaker 2: this huge stretch of teams that really really might want

323
00:18:42,226 --> 00:18:46,066
Speaker 2: to trade up, and instead it's all tackles basically. And

324
00:18:46,306 --> 00:18:49,226
Speaker 2: you know, as a Bills fan, was really hoping Brian

325
00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:51,106
Speaker 2: Thomas would last. I don't think he's gonna last to

326
00:18:51,186 --> 00:18:54,506
Speaker 2: us unless we trade up. But man, it was tough

327
00:18:54,546 --> 00:18:57,946
Speaker 2: to see him go to Pittsburgh because they draft receivers

328
00:18:58,026 --> 00:19:00,906
Speaker 2: really well. And that makes sense because I think Brian

329
00:19:00,946 --> 00:19:01,666
Speaker 2: Thomas is great.

330
00:19:02,786 --> 00:19:05,986
Speaker 1: What's interesting is Pennix and Knicks that don't have going

331
00:19:06,026 --> 00:19:09,826
Speaker 1: in the which means now they're in that back third

332
00:19:10,026 --> 00:19:13,866
Speaker 1: of the draft. You start doing tears here and you're like, okay, now,

333
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:15,866
Speaker 1: is this where a team trades back up and goes

334
00:19:15,906 --> 00:19:17,626
Speaker 1: and gets one of those guys if they want. Let's

335
00:19:17,666 --> 00:19:31,226
Speaker 1: see twenty one Miami Dolphins. I've got Jared Verse, pass

336
00:19:31,306 --> 00:19:33,306
Speaker 1: rusher out of Florida State. This is a guy I

337
00:19:33,306 --> 00:19:34,866
Speaker 1: he can go anywhere in the top twenty five, and

338
00:19:34,906 --> 00:19:38,306
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. Productive pass rusher, extremely versatile at FS.

339
00:19:38,386 --> 00:19:43,466
Speaker 1: You again, down year for d line prospects. Verse could

340
00:19:43,506 --> 00:19:46,106
Speaker 1: be could be the dude I like him to the Dolphins.

341
00:19:46,146 --> 00:19:51,186
Speaker 1: They lost Van Ginkel and they also lost Christian Wilkins

342
00:19:51,226 --> 00:19:53,546
Speaker 1: this year, so that makes sense to me. All Right,

343
00:19:53,546 --> 00:19:56,666
Speaker 1: here's one that puts a smile on everyone's face. Twenty

344
00:19:56,706 --> 00:19:59,066
Speaker 1: two Philadelphia Eagles. How he's not just going to take

345
00:19:59,066 --> 00:20:00,666
Speaker 1: the best player. How he's going to make a splash.

346
00:20:00,666 --> 00:20:04,866
Speaker 1: He always does. Cooper Dijon dB out of Iowa. Is

347
00:20:04,906 --> 00:20:07,466
Speaker 1: it the Gene Dejon? I don't know. He's a white

348
00:20:07,466 --> 00:20:09,546
Speaker 1: cornerback and everyone's gonna make a big deal out of it.

349
00:20:09,586 --> 00:20:11,386
Speaker 1: And I mentioned it as the first thing, but let's

350
00:20:11,426 --> 00:20:13,266
Speaker 1: put that out of the way and just consider him

351
00:20:13,306 --> 00:20:16,466
Speaker 1: a Swiss Army knife guy. Could play corner guy, could

352
00:20:16,466 --> 00:20:19,426
Speaker 1: play safety, guy, could play special teams. He can do

353
00:20:19,466 --> 00:20:22,426
Speaker 1: it all. And he also had an incredible workout last week,

354
00:20:22,786 --> 00:20:26,106
Speaker 1: just a few months removed from a very serious injury.

355
00:20:27,586 --> 00:20:30,346
Speaker 1: Dejeene is a special teams guy if you need him

356
00:20:30,386 --> 00:20:33,266
Speaker 1: to be, I'd love him for Philly. I feel like

357
00:20:33,306 --> 00:20:37,146
Speaker 1: he'll be a fan favorite. And he's just an outstanding athlete.

358
00:20:37,426 --> 00:20:40,346
Speaker 1: I posted last week his high school basketball highlights, jumps

359
00:20:40,346 --> 00:20:42,546
Speaker 1: through the roof, And if you're Philly, it's like, let's

360
00:20:42,546 --> 00:20:44,586
Speaker 1: just add young talent. Let's just get more talent on

361
00:20:44,626 --> 00:20:46,266
Speaker 1: this thing. We've already got a bunch of young guys

362
00:20:46,306 --> 00:20:49,586
Speaker 1: who are supposed to sprout and develop on defense, defensive, backfield.

363
00:20:49,546 --> 00:20:52,946
Speaker 1: It seems like an area of need. Cooper Dejean Dijon

364
00:20:53,146 --> 00:20:57,106
Speaker 1: dejeen twenty three, Minnesota. You know what, screw it? I

365
00:20:57,146 --> 00:21:00,586
Speaker 1: have Minnesota at twenty three, taking Bo Nicks quarterback out

366
00:21:00,586 --> 00:21:03,946
Speaker 1: of Oregon. Nicks could go as high as eleven, twelve, thirteen,

367
00:21:04,026 --> 00:21:06,186
Speaker 1: or fall completely out of the first round. I don't know.

368
00:21:06,706 --> 00:21:08,586
Speaker 1: I know that teams are high on him, and everyone

369
00:21:08,626 --> 00:21:10,866
Speaker 1: I talked to you says late first, early second. If

370
00:21:10,906 --> 00:21:12,626
Speaker 1: you're in Minnesota and you didn't get a quarterback at

371
00:21:12,666 --> 00:21:14,386
Speaker 1: eleven and you got the best offensive back in this

372
00:21:14,466 --> 00:21:16,946
Speaker 1: draft in Arnold and Nix is sitting there at twenty three,

373
00:21:17,106 --> 00:21:20,426
Speaker 1: don't overthink this. If you like them, take them. If

374
00:21:20,426 --> 00:21:22,266
Speaker 1: you love them, you move up and take them. If

375
00:21:22,266 --> 00:21:23,826
Speaker 1: you don't like them and you don't love them, then

376
00:21:23,826 --> 00:21:25,626
Speaker 1: you take someone else and you just roll with Donald

377
00:21:25,666 --> 00:21:27,306
Speaker 1: and you say that's that. I don't think they're just

378
00:21:27,346 --> 00:21:28,986
Speaker 1: gonna roll with Donold and say that's that. I think

379
00:21:28,986 --> 00:21:31,386
Speaker 1: they're getting a quarterback somewhere in this draft. The twenty

380
00:21:31,386 --> 00:21:34,666
Speaker 1: third overall pick, a backstop pick. Remember the trade up

381
00:21:34,706 --> 00:21:37,866
Speaker 1: to get this selection. I thought I had was they

382
00:21:37,866 --> 00:21:39,946
Speaker 1: would package eleven and twenty three, but I don't know

383
00:21:39,946 --> 00:21:41,586
Speaker 1: if that's enough to get up into the top three

384
00:21:41,706 --> 00:21:45,066
Speaker 1: or four. Instead, they get bo Nick's quarterback out of

385
00:21:45,186 --> 00:21:50,586
Speaker 1: Oregon twenty four Dallas Cowboys, always an intriguing pick. I've

386
00:21:50,626 --> 00:21:54,266
Speaker 1: got them taken the burner from the combine. Xavier Worthy,

387
00:21:54,426 --> 00:21:57,386
Speaker 1: Texas wide receiver, the fastest man to ever run a

388
00:21:57,426 --> 00:22:01,066
Speaker 1: forty since the NFL network started broadcasting it. He also fights,

389
00:22:01,066 --> 00:22:05,466
Speaker 1: He's a competitor. I've got them getting another wide receiver

390
00:22:05,626 --> 00:22:08,146
Speaker 1: for Dak, a deep threat in this one. He'll go

391
00:22:08,186 --> 00:22:10,786
Speaker 1: with CD Lamb and hopefully they can handle the contract

392
00:22:10,786 --> 00:22:13,186
Speaker 1: stuff with CD and with Dak. This is a cheaper

393
00:22:13,226 --> 00:22:15,106
Speaker 1: pick because you get a first round talent, you can

394
00:22:15,146 --> 00:22:17,266
Speaker 1: develop them over five years. He doesn't need to get paid.

395
00:22:17,546 --> 00:22:19,466
Speaker 1: Last time they take a wide receiver in the first round,

396
00:22:19,506 --> 00:22:22,826
Speaker 1: it was Cede Lamb twenty five. Green Bay Packers. Usually

397
00:22:22,866 --> 00:22:25,066
Speaker 1: a trade back here or a defensive player. I've got

398
00:22:25,066 --> 00:22:29,066
Speaker 1: them going offense. Amarus Mims, offensive tackle at a Georgia

399
00:22:29,186 --> 00:22:34,266
Speaker 1: a massive ot, tremendous upside, but a relatively like just

400
00:22:34,306 --> 00:22:36,546
Speaker 1: a few games like a lack of experience at Georgia

401
00:22:36,546 --> 00:22:38,266
Speaker 1: and the games he did play that were big. He

402
00:22:38,346 --> 00:22:39,946
Speaker 1: was good, but he had a big injury in twenty

403
00:22:39,986 --> 00:22:43,026
Speaker 1: twenty three. This is a deep wide receiver draft, a

404
00:22:43,146 --> 00:22:45,786
Speaker 1: deep offensive line draft. I've got them scooping up another

405
00:22:46,146 --> 00:22:50,346
Speaker 1: offensive lineman to protect Jordan Love. Last several picks. Let's

406
00:22:50,386 --> 00:22:52,146
Speaker 1: go right through it and then we'll wrap it, and

407
00:22:52,146 --> 00:22:53,586
Speaker 1: then I'll tell you what we got coming up in

408
00:22:53,586 --> 00:22:57,146
Speaker 1: the coming days. Twenty six Tampa Bay got them taking

409
00:22:57,186 --> 00:23:00,866
Speaker 1: Graham Barton, offensive lineman at a Duke Tampa. I love

410
00:23:00,906 --> 00:23:02,906
Speaker 1: what they did this offseason, bringing back all those key

411
00:23:02,906 --> 00:23:05,826
Speaker 1: players and bringing back key assets from last year's divisional

412
00:23:05,906 --> 00:23:08,346
Speaker 1: round squad. We've got them taking an offensive lineman who

413
00:23:08,346 --> 00:23:10,386
Speaker 1: could play tackle. He played center at Duke also, and

414
00:23:10,386 --> 00:23:11,706
Speaker 1: I think he'll do both in the NFL if he

415
00:23:11,786 --> 00:23:15,626
Speaker 1: has to. Graham Barton to Tampa twenty six. Twenty seven,

416
00:23:15,706 --> 00:23:17,986
Speaker 1: the Cardinals their second pick of the first round. I

417
00:23:18,026 --> 00:23:21,466
Speaker 1: got them going Darius Robinson, defensive line out of Missouri,

418
00:23:21,906 --> 00:23:24,666
Speaker 1: Quietest rising prospect in this draft class. I wouldn't be

419
00:23:24,666 --> 00:23:26,866
Speaker 1: surprised if he goes top twenty at this point, I'll

420
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:30,226
Speaker 1: be honest, everyone was talking about Robinson. If the Cardinals

421
00:23:30,226 --> 00:23:32,586
Speaker 1: can come out of this thing and get Roma Dunze

422
00:23:32,666 --> 00:23:35,546
Speaker 1: and Darius Robinson, those were two really good first round picks.

423
00:23:35,946 --> 00:23:39,826
Speaker 1: Guy at wide receiver, guy defensive line solid, which leads

424
00:23:39,826 --> 00:23:41,906
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills twenty eight. Air in your team,

425
00:23:42,066 --> 00:23:44,506
Speaker 1: there's a wide receiver sitting there that could go top fifteen.

426
00:23:44,546 --> 00:23:48,226
Speaker 1: I've got them taken A. D Mitchell also known as

427
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:51,746
Speaker 1: out An I Mitchell's full name. Tremendous player out of Texas,

428
00:23:52,066 --> 00:23:56,266
Speaker 1: big body, can compete, had a good combine. I don't

429
00:23:56,306 --> 00:23:58,026
Speaker 1: have him as high as others happened. I've seen him

430
00:23:58,026 --> 00:23:59,946
Speaker 1: go top fifteen, top sixteen. Like, I think this is

431
00:23:59,986 --> 00:24:03,466
Speaker 1: about right back end of the first round, and I

432
00:24:03,546 --> 00:24:05,546
Speaker 1: might be proven wrong. And Adam Schefter came out today

433
00:24:05,546 --> 00:24:07,506
Speaker 1: and was like, teams are way higher on him than

434
00:24:07,546 --> 00:24:10,106
Speaker 1: mock drafts. Twenty eight to the bill sounds right for me.

435
00:24:10,506 --> 00:24:14,386
Speaker 1: Ad Mitchell wide receiver, Buffalo. They got rid of Stefon

436
00:24:14,426 --> 00:24:17,306
Speaker 1: Diggs last week, Kincaid, I think they view as a

437
00:24:17,306 --> 00:24:19,466
Speaker 1: wide receiver slash tight end. Now you add this guy

438
00:24:19,506 --> 00:24:22,066
Speaker 1: in the first round who is a bawler. I like

439
00:24:22,106 --> 00:24:25,386
Speaker 1: that pick for them. Twenty nine Detroit Lions select Zach Fraser,

440
00:24:26,386 --> 00:24:29,666
Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman at A West Virginia, A four time

441
00:24:30,066 --> 00:24:34,546
Speaker 1: all state high school wrestling champion. Nasty, versatile, hungry dude.

442
00:24:35,386 --> 00:24:37,186
Speaker 1: One of those guys who will just scrap. If that's

443
00:24:37,186 --> 00:24:38,866
Speaker 1: not Dan Campbell, I don't know who is. And you

444
00:24:38,906 --> 00:24:41,146
Speaker 1: add to that offensive line. You just keep bulking it up.

445
00:24:42,306 --> 00:24:44,586
Speaker 1: Might be a little early. I think most people say

446
00:24:44,626 --> 00:24:46,626
Speaker 1: Fraser is like second or third round. I've got him

447
00:24:46,626 --> 00:24:48,386
Speaker 1: going first because it's my mock draft, and I think

448
00:24:48,466 --> 00:24:51,586
Speaker 1: Zack Frasier and Dan Campbell are like Kindred Spirits. Thirty

449
00:24:51,826 --> 00:24:55,506
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens best name in the draft kool Aid McKinstry

450
00:24:55,666 --> 00:25:00,666
Speaker 1: out of Alabama, defensive back. The Alabama to Baltimore pipeline

451
00:25:00,746 --> 00:25:03,906
Speaker 1: is real, even with Ozzie Newsom no longer making the

452
00:25:03,946 --> 00:25:06,666
Speaker 1: picks and it being Eric DaCosta. I also think kool

453
00:25:06,666 --> 00:25:08,466
Speaker 1: Aid can play right away and might have a bigger

454
00:25:08,506 --> 00:25:12,066
Speaker 1: impact than Harry and Arnold. In his first year, Fluid

455
00:25:12,146 --> 00:25:15,746
Speaker 1: Dude did not run the fastest forty, but like Big Smart,

456
00:25:15,786 --> 00:25:18,986
Speaker 1: it's been around. Love this for Baltimore. You add to

457
00:25:18,986 --> 00:25:21,506
Speaker 1: that backfield. Last two picks of the draft are two

458
00:25:21,546 --> 00:25:24,826
Speaker 1: fun ones for me. They're both wide receivers. Thirty one

459
00:25:24,866 --> 00:25:27,666
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. I've got them taking Lad McConkie,

460
00:25:27,706 --> 00:25:30,106
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Georgia. This might be the first

461
00:25:30,186 --> 00:25:32,786
Speaker 1: mock draft you see where McConkie goes in the first round. Again,

462
00:25:33,266 --> 00:25:37,626
Speaker 1: there are other guys. Troy Franklin from Oregon, Kid Conley

463
00:25:38,346 --> 00:25:41,746
Speaker 1: from or Corley from Western Kentucky. Everyone seems to love.

464
00:25:42,146 --> 00:25:45,066
Speaker 1: And of course you know you've got Keyon Coleman, the

465
00:25:45,066 --> 00:25:47,106
Speaker 1: big boy from Florida Stape. I got McConkie going to

466
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:50,706
Speaker 1: the Niners, smart, tough, does it all. And like, gosh,

467
00:25:50,746 --> 00:25:53,146
Speaker 1: you talked to any of these Georgia people, they just

468
00:25:53,266 --> 00:25:55,466
Speaker 1: rave about him. I think he's just like a reliable

469
00:25:55,466 --> 00:25:59,026
Speaker 1: wide receiver who can run an offense. And Kyle Shanahan

470
00:25:59,106 --> 00:26:00,906
Speaker 1: is looking for that. He's not looking for a diva.

471
00:26:00,946 --> 00:26:03,266
Speaker 1: He's not looking for the guy who is the five

472
00:26:03,306 --> 00:26:05,186
Speaker 1: star recruit. He's looking for the guy who's gonna run

473
00:26:05,226 --> 00:26:08,186
Speaker 1: his offense. Lad McConkie run that offense wide receiver out

474
00:26:08,226 --> 00:26:10,066
Speaker 1: of Georgia. And then my last pick, I don't know

475
00:26:10,106 --> 00:26:11,946
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Chiefs and Rashi Rice. I

476
00:26:11,946 --> 00:26:13,706
Speaker 1: have no idea where that thing ends up. I have

477
00:26:13,786 --> 00:26:15,746
Speaker 1: them also going wide receiver, and I have them going

478
00:26:15,746 --> 00:26:18,866
Speaker 1: with a guy that I like personally, and it's Jalen Polk,

479
00:26:18,986 --> 00:26:21,586
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Washington. He is our last pick

480
00:26:21,586 --> 00:26:23,466
Speaker 1: of the first rounds, personal favorite of mine. I keep

481
00:26:23,466 --> 00:26:25,826
Speaker 1: on talking about him. I'm gonna wheel him to the

482
00:26:25,826 --> 00:26:28,786
Speaker 1: first round. I love watching his film. I think he

483
00:26:28,866 --> 00:26:31,386
Speaker 1: is awesome, and I think he's getting no love. I

484
00:26:31,386 --> 00:26:33,906
Speaker 1: also think the Chiefs they need a wide receiver.

485
00:26:33,946 --> 00:26:34,026
Speaker 2: Now.

486
00:26:34,026 --> 00:26:35,586
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Rashih Rice. I

487
00:26:35,666 --> 00:26:37,706
Speaker 1: think that makes a lot of sense. It's not Polk,

488
00:26:37,786 --> 00:26:40,586
Speaker 1: it might be somebody else. But I think the fact

489
00:26:40,586 --> 00:26:43,186
Speaker 1: that he went to Texas Tech and then transferred to Washington,

490
00:26:43,306 --> 00:26:45,306
Speaker 1: maybe that has something to do with me putting them

491
00:26:45,306 --> 00:26:47,906
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, with Mahomes having a connection there with

492
00:26:47,946 --> 00:26:50,506
Speaker 1: the Red Raiders. That is the first round. There are

493
00:26:50,506 --> 00:26:54,546
Speaker 1: a lot of big name players, Chop Robinson, Kean Coleman.

494
00:26:55,586 --> 00:26:59,026
Speaker 1: We could go through the list, Michael Pennix that did

495
00:26:59,066 --> 00:27:02,546
Speaker 1: not get drafted in my first round, the kid Reckstraw

496
00:27:02,706 --> 00:27:07,386
Speaker 1: out of Missouri, Aaron. Any thoughts on the back end

497
00:27:07,546 --> 00:27:10,306
Speaker 1: of that first round, including your Buffalo Bills getting ad Mitchell?

498
00:27:10,866 --> 00:27:12,946
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, actually, the wide receiver pairing I like

499
00:27:13,026 --> 00:27:15,226
Speaker 2: the most is Lad McConkey to the forty nine ers

500
00:27:15,546 --> 00:27:17,826
Speaker 2: does makes sense? Yeah, the forty nine ers love a

501
00:27:17,946 --> 00:27:21,506
Speaker 2: versatile offensive weapon. Mconkie's someone who people keep talking about

502
00:27:21,626 --> 00:27:23,306
Speaker 2: is like he's got to be a slot receiver. He's

503
00:27:23,346 --> 00:27:24,786
Speaker 2: got to be a he doesn't have to be a

504
00:27:24,826 --> 00:27:27,946
Speaker 2: slot receiver, and he would be amazing in that offense.

505
00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:31,506
Speaker 2: I know the news came out yesterday it broke that

506
00:27:31,546 --> 00:27:33,506
Speaker 2: I you could request the trade, and then his agent

507
00:27:33,626 --> 00:27:34,826
Speaker 2: was like, no, he thank you.

508
00:27:34,906 --> 00:27:36,866
Speaker 1: I don't say the news broke. I say a rumor

509
00:27:36,906 --> 00:27:37,466
Speaker 1: hit the internview.

510
00:27:37,506 --> 00:27:40,786
Speaker 2: Yes, a rumor, yes, exactly quote unquote news. But yeah,

511
00:27:40,906 --> 00:27:44,066
Speaker 2: lad on the forty nine ers just seems like the

512
00:27:44,106 --> 00:27:46,706
Speaker 2: one other than Zach Fraser to the Lions, which I

513
00:27:46,746 --> 00:27:49,666
Speaker 2: agree with you, is like that just sounds like, you know,

514
00:27:49,786 --> 00:27:52,786
Speaker 2: the Lions took two players last year that we thought

515
00:27:52,826 --> 00:27:56,026
Speaker 2: went way earlier than expected and they worked out really well.

516
00:27:56,106 --> 00:27:58,146
Speaker 1: So that was kind of my justification there, like I'm

517
00:27:58,186 --> 00:28:00,106
Speaker 1: putting a player that I think fits the culture that's

518
00:28:00,386 --> 00:28:02,466
Speaker 1: in sideline backern or running back brat Homes. Maybe our

519
00:28:02,466 --> 00:28:05,386
Speaker 1: best interview last off season talking about those picks, similar

520
00:28:05,426 --> 00:28:09,226
Speaker 1: to he'll that was my first mock draft. It goes

521
00:28:09,306 --> 00:28:12,106
Speaker 1: live on NFL dot Com Tuesday morning. I'll do a

522
00:28:12,106 --> 00:28:15,706
Speaker 1: little media around that, but we're not done this week.

523
00:28:15,706 --> 00:28:18,786
Speaker 1: This will go up Monday, so you'll have this Monday

524
00:28:18,826 --> 00:28:21,906
Speaker 1: on your commutes, and you know Tuesday morning to work.

525
00:28:22,266 --> 00:28:24,386
Speaker 1: But I am going to go over to the to

526
00:28:24,426 --> 00:28:27,026
Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum, and I'm going to

527
00:28:27,106 --> 00:28:31,226
Speaker 1: reach into the Bristol, Connecticut pool of talent, and I

528
00:28:31,306 --> 00:28:35,706
Speaker 1: am going to tap on my buddy field Yates, who

529
00:28:35,746 --> 00:28:38,986
Speaker 1: has taken on a bigger role. And then ESPN's draft

530
00:28:38,986 --> 00:28:41,786
Speaker 1: coverage and the two of us tomorrow are going to

531
00:28:41,866 --> 00:28:44,546
Speaker 1: record a live mock draft and we're gonna do as

532
00:28:44,546 --> 00:28:46,786
Speaker 1: many of these as we can before the draft next week,

533
00:28:46,826 --> 00:28:49,386
Speaker 1: where it's one of us has taken the odd numbers,

534
00:28:49,146 --> 00:28:51,186
Speaker 1: one taken the even numbers, probably won't do any trades,

535
00:28:51,666 --> 00:28:53,546
Speaker 1: and it's like a game of ping pong, and we

536
00:28:53,666 --> 00:28:55,506
Speaker 1: have no prep between the two of us. We haven't

537
00:28:55,506 --> 00:28:57,746
Speaker 1: spoken between the two of us. And where the chips fall,

538
00:28:57,786 --> 00:29:00,906
Speaker 1: the chips fall. I think it's fun audio, it's good

539
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:03,506
Speaker 1: to listen to, and it's a good exercise as the

540
00:29:03,586 --> 00:29:06,186
Speaker 1: draft comes. But let me promise you this, there will

541
00:29:06,186 --> 00:29:08,226
Speaker 1: be it's in the rail draft. There will be crazy

542
00:29:08,226 --> 00:29:10,786
Speaker 1: things that happen, and all these mock drafts, it's just

543
00:29:10,826 --> 00:29:13,666
Speaker 1: to give you an idea of where some guys might

544
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:17,626
Speaker 1: land and kind of there's the region. But you know,

545
00:29:18,346 --> 00:29:22,146
Speaker 1: once the trades start happening. It's like throwing a needle

546
00:29:22,146 --> 00:29:24,786
Speaker 1: in a haystack, but I love doing it. I spent

547
00:29:24,866 --> 00:29:27,506
Speaker 1: a lot of time on the phones this past weekend. Aaron,

548
00:29:28,106 --> 00:29:29,986
Speaker 1: I'll see you tomorrow. We're gonna do this thing again,

549
00:29:30,026 --> 00:29:31,546
Speaker 1: but I wanted to get this one up on Monday.

550
00:29:32,346 --> 00:29:34,786
Speaker 1: A lot of me talking tomorrow will be with you.

551
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:37,066
Speaker 1: We'll have a field on and we'll chop it up

552
00:29:37,106 --> 00:29:39,506
Speaker 1: some more. But the big headline here JJ McCarthy to

553
00:29:39,546 --> 00:29:59,586
