<v Speaker 1>is where we answer your questions. So if you're not

<v Speaker 1>all of that in the comment section underneath our live videos.

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So while we give people a chance to start submitting

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>some of those, um, I know that this time you're

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>basically free agency and draft. That's it. That's what everyone's

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about, and one is going to affect the other,

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and there's just so many potential dominoes. And we've had

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to say so many times that we still don't know

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot, which is always very tough this time of year.

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>But I figured we could at least talk about some

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of the mock drafts, because that's not about knowing. Nobody knows,

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>yes exactly, which we can all do. We're all very

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>good everybody. Yes. So I know that you and Carmen

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>have both done your mock draft, you've done one together recently,

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and so I just want to hear your thoughts on

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>what your mock draft said, and then some of the

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>other ones that you've been looking at out there and

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>what it maybe says about what the Bucks might do.

0:00:58.680 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>So the way we did it and the way we'll

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>do it every couple of weeks until we get close

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>into our own mock draft, as we did one where

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>we just alternated picks um, which does throw a little

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>bit of a little bit of more guests work into it,

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>because if you're doing your own mock draft one to

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty two and you can maybe fudge a little bit,

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I'd really like to see this guy get to seven,

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>so I won't want to go to team six. Right, Well,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that can't really happen when somebody else's picking. So we

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>were going along. I think a lot of the picks

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>are what you've seen, you know, obviously, starting with Jeff

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Burrow and Chase Young and the cornerback from Ohio State

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and all that. But around nine or ten, uh, some

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>team took. We had some team taken offensive lineman and

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Carmen and her ride up said she thought this was

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna start a run, but it really didn't. And what

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>ended up happening is at fourteen where the Bucks are

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Worths. The Ioway tackles was considered one of the

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>top prospects at that position was sitting there and that's

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>who Carmen took and and honestly, if I had had

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that pick, I would have taken him as well. And

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we've said several times on the show, as

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we've talked in weeks that I just think there's a

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>really good combination of what the Bucks need and value

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>in this particular draft for it to work out at

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>number fourteen, and it did in that mock draft. Yeah, yeah,

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that's an interesting point. Um. We also had somebody uh asked,

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Scott said, if the Bucks don't, yep,

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>great name, you're a big fan, not bias at all.

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>If the Bucks don't take a quarterback in the first round,

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>can you see them taking one later? And if so, who, Yeah,

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean sure a second round pick. You know, I

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>saw a mock draft I was reading yesterday that we

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>took I think an offensive linement at fourteen, but they

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>had us trade up to the bottom of the first

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>round to get I believe Jordan's love the is that

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the Utah statum with a big arm um. A lot

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of guys, a lot of people connect that to Bruce

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>arians because like he wants a big arm quarterback who

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>can throw the ball down field. Um. Yeah, so you

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.679
<v Speaker 1>can see if you can get that guy at the

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>very end of round one, then he maybe is also

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>available in round two. We're about let's see thirteen picks

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 1>in a round two I believe pick number forty five overall.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>So sure it could happen, and that could be an

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>interesting approach that the Buckaneers take. Basically, we know what

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the options are at quarterback, right either James Winson's back,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>or you signed a veteran free agent or your draft guy,

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>or some combination of both. So maybe if you signed

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a veteran who is going to be a couple of

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>year stop gap, then you also draft a guy that

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.519
<v Speaker 1>you're hoping you can develop. So sure I could see that. Okay, Um,

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.519
<v Speaker 1>we had a few different questions about now that um,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Philip Rivers and the Charges have announced that he will

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>enter free agency, which you were actually we were talking

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>about this before the show. You were pointing out as

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different than if he had actually been released. Yeah,

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>take like Greg Olson, greg Olson, the tight end has

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>been so good for Carolina for so long. They actually

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>released him on February second, and so he has actually

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>visited a couple of teams. I think Seattle and Washington,

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and obviously Washington makes a lot of sense because reuniting

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>with Ron rivera. UM, I don't know. I didn't check

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>this morning. The Chargers and and Philip Rivers. Obviously they

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>made a statement. They all made statements and made it

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>clear that they wouldn't pursue him in free agency and

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that so their time together is over, right. But if

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>they haven't released him yet, and I honestly I have

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to admit I don't know. I didn't check. I wish

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't. But if they haven't released him yet, he

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>can't start going and negotiating with other teams yet. They'd

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>have to wait until that seventy two hour period beforehand.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>But they might at some point make a move. I mean,

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>it would make sense if there if they obviously have

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of respect for him, as they said in

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>their statements, if they want to give him the opportunity

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to go ahead and get started finding a new home

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>legally under the system, then then they would release him.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see what happens. But I think that the

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 1>way it was worded was they'll let him inter free

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>agency which sounds like no roster moving right, That makes sense. Um,

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So we've had a few different questions of if you

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>were to be looking at Tom Brady or Philip Rivers

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>as potential options, as are the two names that everyone

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>keeps loving to to throw out there, which would you prefer?

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Which would fit better here? And then this system? M

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who's gonna say no to either of those

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>two guys? Right? I mean Tom Brady is probably the

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>greatest of all time and Philip Rivers has Hall of

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Fame numbers. Uh, I guess neither of them necessarily has

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the huge arm anymore. I don't know if tom Brady

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>ever did have the huge on downfield arm and Philip

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Rivers did, but um, probably not as much anymore. Let mean,

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>come on, it's Tom Brady and Philip Rivers. I think

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>they could do find in any SyncE. It's hard not

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>to pick Tom Brady when you have the option picking

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>one of, if not the greatest quarterback of all time.

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to say no right between those two sides. Yeah,

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point. Um. Mike had said he's heard

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>rumors that there's a possibility that the team wants to

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>trade up to number one, So I feel like we

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>can address that and then also just overall the likelihood

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of them trading up at all, maybe not just to

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>number one, but in General's a lot to talk about

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>there at first of all, beginning with the very beginning

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of that question rumors, um, I think what I would

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>call that one is speculation, and you're going to see

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 1>an awful lot of that. You'll see a report that

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers are considering this, and as you followed back

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>through the steps, like maybe you're reading it on Pro

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Football Talk and they they've got it from some blog,

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and you realize what it was was a radio guy

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>making that speculation on his show. Does he really have

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a source that the Buccaneers want to trade up? One

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>will never know. That's a really really aggressive move, not

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>really in keeping with what Jason light has normally done

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>in the first round of drafts, and it probably just

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>sprang from a speculation, But we can't discuss the possibility.

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the thing about that trade is going from

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>fourteen to one is super super super expensive. But we

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>do have a pretty close analog from recent years when

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the Rams traded up to get Jared Goff that was

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>sixteen I think sixteen, they went from fifteen to one,

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 1>which I mean, that's really really rare, and I remember correctly.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>It costs them obviously their their first that year, but

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that's just the switch up a second, their first and

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>second the next year at least, and there might have

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>been more. So you're probably thinking, you're probably looking at um.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't consider it when you trade up from fifteen

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to one. I don't feel like if you trade it,

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>if you gave him another two first round picks there,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's trading three first round picks because

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you're at the first. One is just a flip. That

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>improvement of your first round pick. So it's technically just

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to the year in order to make the move from

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>fourteen to one. What else is in there? Right? That's

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a good point, and I think it could cost as

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>much as to first and a second. I mean, are

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>you really willing to do that? It's a lot, Yeah,

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that can be a lot of Um. I also think

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati would be well, I mean, I guess if they

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>can get a king's ransom, you'd have to consider it,

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But otherwise I think Cincinnai should stay put and probably yeah,

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>um John asked do you think the Bucks have an

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>eye on a running back to bring in. I wonder

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>if they mean freed InCor the draft. Um, I think,

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean probably just wrote about this before. Even it

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even matter how you feel about the running backs

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>we had last year. I think we almost certainly will

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>have at least one, if not two more running backs

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>simply by the numbers. I mean, right now under contract,

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you have Ronald Jones, who had a nice step up

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>here right Um, could be a thousand yard guy. I

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's more carries. But Peyton Barber is a schedule

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to become an unrestricted free agency there's no guarantee that

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>he'll be back. And then otherwise basically you really have

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>as Dario Goomba, Wally and a guy we had in

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>our practice squad, Eco Cedric Ware. I mean, just surely

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>by the numbers, they're gonna bring somebody in. Will they

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>make a big investment, either in free agency or like

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a second day pick in the draft or even a

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>first day pick as you see in some mos, Yeah,

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it's possible. I wouldn't I wouldn't. You know, there's a

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of teams that will not break the bank for

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a running back and free agency because they've seen how

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>poorly a lot of those things have gone. I mean,

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you know Todd Gurley situation for the Rams. Um. I

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>guess Ezekiel Elliott is paying off, but those are the

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>more rare ones. You know, how well is Levan Bell

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>really working out for the Jets considering what he was paid?

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>So are the Buccaneers one of those teams that wouldn't

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>do that? I think there's a decent chance that's the case.

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So you know, maybe a mid tier free agent or

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>running back in the second or third round. That seems

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>very plausible. Okay. De Kwon asked when is the CB

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a deadline and is there any truth to the rumors

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that quarterbacks will have their own cap space to help

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>with the ballooning contracts. Well, again, that's not really a

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>rumor so much as an idea that somebody has thrown

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>out there, which isn't a terrible idea because it is

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>tough when the quarterbacks contracts keep getting so huge and

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>they end up being such a big percentage of your roster.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's what makes a guy like Russell Wilson when

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you draft him and he's immediately great and for the

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>first five years you haven't cost controlled. You can spend

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>so much more on other positions, but it's hard to

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>fall into that situation. So taking those two those two

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>questions one at a time, there isn't really any specific deadline, uh,

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>because it does run through so this year is still

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>under the c b A, so I guess would be

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>sometime next year. But they tend to try to set

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>artificial deadlines like I don't know if you people saw

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the news in the last week or so that the

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.560
<v Speaker 1>NFL supposedly had set a sort of a rough deadline

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of about March eighteen for them to accept the current

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>deal that was on the table, but then that's been

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>walked back a little bit that now we didn't really

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.719
<v Speaker 1>set in deadline, so you know, the only deadline is

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>one that one side or the other is gonna set,

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and in the most recent one was just, hey, there's

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 1>nothing on the table, this is when we would like

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you to decide on that. By I do think there's

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of momentum of them wanting to get it

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>done around the new league year, around March. I've heard

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot about that. And then the other half of

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that was the quarterback thing. It's an option but um,

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>so far, I think that's just speculation. I don't think

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that's something that's actually considered a definite part of the agreement. Okay,

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Jay asked, what do you think Teddy Bridgewater would be

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>worth on the open market in your opinion? It's a

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>good question, mollion, something like that. I don't I don't

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>know what the I mean, he would be a starter,

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and he played well last year, and he was a

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>former first round pick. I like him a lot. I

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>think I think he'd be a good starter. Um out

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of millions something like that. Yeah, I mean, I think

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it's probably so much of that depends on all the

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 1>other potential quarterback domino pieces this year, that there are

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 1>so many of them that we don't know if they're

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>staying where they are, if they're going somewhere else. And

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>then I feel like one move happens and it could

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>cause this whole big the domino effect, And if you

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>have a whole bunch of these top, big name guys

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden in movement, it could push his

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>value maybe down that some of these other guys, or

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>if a lot of guys stay put and then you

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>still have a team or two That thought they were

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 1>going to have more options, feeling like go either way.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like musical chairs. Either there's one too many quarterback

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>which is bad for the quarterbacks, or one too many chairs,

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>which would be good for the quarterbacks. Right, which is

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>an interesting point. Um, What was your point? I just

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>made an analogy for it, Um, which I appreciate, you know,

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>just clarifying ever here, Um David asked, do you think

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that Jason Lite takes the best player available or more

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>for need based on his history here? I don't think

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that any GM in the first round ever goes pure

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>best player available. I think they take best player available

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that fits what you need. Otherwise, I mean, you could

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>just rank the prospects and by the time we get

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to the draft there's a lot of areamon on who's best,

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and it would just go that way. But it doesn't.

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you had there were there were I

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>think Barry Sanders is the best running back of all time,

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think he went third or fourth in the

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>to Detroit, So that means two or three teams passed

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>on him. But you can understand that because they probably

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>had in trench running backs. If you haven't in trench,

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>if you have Zekiel Elliott and another Barry Sanders comes

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 1>along in this year's draft, and you're picking first and

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 1>he's the best player, Are you going to take him?

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>You're not right now. As you get later on in

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the draft, especially on the third day, I do think

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>they often take they will they do do more of

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a best player available strategy. If if you know the Bucks,

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>what's the position we're we don't really need right now?

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe inside linebacker. But if there's a guy just standing

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>out as the best one and he's high above left

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>of any other position you got left, then I think

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you started taking that guy, even though he's not your

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>biggest need. Right we have another Scott with a lot

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of Scots, all right, your your team Scott fan club? Um,

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>he asked. Um. He was saying, you know, we keep

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.719
<v Speaker 1>talking about quarterbacks, but we still need secondary help. And

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>then he asked, what are the chances we have to

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>get the Honey Badger? But I figured overall we could

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>just talk about do you agree that the needing secondary

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>helper where we are in that? Yeah? I would love.

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I wish we had managed to land him last year,

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>but I guess it was just too much. That would

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>have been awesome. He's such a great player, But I

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know for spending that much, you know what I'm saying.

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.839
<v Speaker 1>And plus I don't believe he's a free agent now.

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>He signed a multi year contract with Kansas City. So

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.599
<v Speaker 1>there are a ton, however, of names you would recognize

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of safeties that, unless her teams resigned them are going

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>to be available on the market this year. And of

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.439
<v Speaker 1>the two parts of the secondary, I think safety is

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.959
<v Speaker 1>a bigger need. And Bruce arians essentially said that at

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the last press conference at the end of the year

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>he started talking about his quarterbacks. I think we're set.

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.079
<v Speaker 1>And you can understand that because by the end of

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the year it looked like those three young guys are

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>your frontline guys, right, and so you don't really need

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to go spend on another freeging quarterback if you've spent

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>another if you brought in another high priced free agent

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>cornerback who gets bumped from the top three, you know

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you like all those guys, Sean, if you bunt Carlton

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Davis and Jamal Dean. So then you talk about safety

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and said, I think we're set at safety. But then

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Bekase said, well, maybe maybe notn you're talking about the

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>injury situation with Justin Evans is still a big question mark.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>They did like um Dacota Dixon, but he got hurt

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 1>and and really isn't proving yet. But I like him

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot. So there's a lot more question marks at safety,

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and UH, I do think safety is a position the

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Bucks could look at with a value signing and free agency.

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And there are a lot of them out there. I mean,

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the two big names that will get the biggest contracts

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>are Justin Simmons and Anthony Harris. I don't think those

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>two guys are probably our targets. But there's a ton

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>of other guys out there, like Rodney McLeod and Trey Boston,

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and I can't even think of them all right now,

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>but I did write about that. If you want to

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>go look in the archive. Okay, Um, I'll try to close.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>We got a few more here, but I'll try to

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>go fairly quickly. Aaron asked, how soon do you think

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>we could get a deal done with Shaq Barrett. I

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>tend to think, as I've said before, that these things

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>UH kind of bump towards the deadline because both teams,

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>both sides are probably trying to get a little bit

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>more of what they want, right and so just there's

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 1>no reason to settle until the deadline is looming. And

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I looked at all these all the players that we resigned.

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I went through our transactions for like the last ten years,

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and all the bigger name guys that we resigned before

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the start of free agency were always in March, you know,

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>they're not in February. And this year the deadline the

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>free agencies until March eighteenth, which is later. It's usually

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>more around like the tenth, So there's a lot of

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>time now. If the Buckaneers don't have them signed by

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>March tenth and they're worried, you might get a franchise

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>tag right then. As we've said before, though that doesn't

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>stop negotiations. That just you could you could he could

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>eventually play on that franchise tag, but also you can

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>just use that as a way to extend your exclusive

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>negotiating window and still get a long term deal done afterwards.

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>So it could be quite some time at the Pro

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Bowl um when Shack was being interviewed about this in

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the same vein he's done every time he's been interviewed

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>about this subject since. Still, while the season was going on.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>He makes a very clear or than he wants to

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>stay here and he thinks it's gonna work out here,

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's all always very very positive. But somebody asked him, well,

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>does it feel good knowing that this will all be

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>resolved by March? And he kind of laughed when, I'm

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>not sure it's gonna be resolved, right, So just take

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that and then um, we'll close it this one. Jonathan said,

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>do you think O J. Howard is actually on the

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>trade block? And if so, what are the chances we

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>actually trade him? I usually I'm skeptic skeptical about those things,

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>but there's sometimes where there's a lot of smoke, there's fire,

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and you do keep hearing about that a lot. Um.

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I I honestly don't know if we've had trade discussions

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>for O J with anyone, but it's certainly possible. What

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 1>was the second half of that one, just what the

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 1>chances would be that we actually trade him? Is he

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the people on the trade block? And what

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>would be the chances, if so, that we would be

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>able to trade him? Um? I still consider the chances low,

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think the more likely path forward is they're

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna try again and see if they can get the

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>production out of him that they thought they would get

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>last year. But it's possible, right all right, Well, thanks

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>so much all of you guys who submitted questions. We're

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>here every Wednesday at ten am, and of course we

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>know there's a lot more free agency and draft questions

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't get a chance to get to, so

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're back here next week submitting even more

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>of them, and we'll see you then. M
