1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: All right, John Middlicoff, former NFL scout, we do.

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 3: We do this every year.

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: Obviously, we go through the first round picks and let's

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: not waste any time. Let's get past cam Ward at

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: number one. That was an easy one, the most interesting one,

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: and boy, my phone blew up. Cleveland got a haul.

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: I think, way too much for a non quarterback. So

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: Cleveland gets three of the top thirty six picks. Now,

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 2: if you add all the picks they got in from

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: the Jags next year, they're just doing that to get

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: a quarterback next year. So next year, of the top

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: thirty six picks, Cleveland has three of them. They got

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: a haul, and then they go down to number five

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: and you know, getting a starting defensive tackle. I'll get

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 2: to that in a second. But the GM for the Jags,

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: who I was told actually worked from home in Saint

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: Louis a lot even when he was a RAMS employee,

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: is a young kid. So this is the adult table

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: being a GM. I don't like the swing. Travis Hunter

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: is a great player, but unless he's a pro bowler

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball, it feels like way

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: too much to give up. And I think Cleveland was

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: clearly doing it to get Amo for next year's quarterback draft.

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the easiest trade that Andrew

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Berry and Kevin Stefanski will ever make. They might have

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: just got contract extensions from Haslam sitting behind him.

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: In the draft room.

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you, how can you make this trade, Colin?

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: When you don't know your team, you know, part of anyone,

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: whether you're taking over a football team, taking over a business,

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: you got to let it settle and see what you have. Well,

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: there's obviously no way. They haven't even been on the

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: field in shorts and T shirts. They don't know if

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: their quarterback's any good, they don't know how talented their

37
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: unit is. I get the ownership there, as you know,

38
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: flush with money and aggressive and everything, but I think

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: being this aggressive for Liam Cohen and Gladstone, the young

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: thirty four year old GM, when they have never worked

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: with the players on their team. It's one thing if

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: you had been around for a couple of years and

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: you have a pretty good feel like we're a player

44
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: or two away, let's swing for the fences. That's insane, Colin,

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: to throw away your next year's first round pick. And

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: I get it he was. He had a front row

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: seat there for Les and Shawn trading all those first

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: round picks over the years, they were typically a player

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: or two away, right though with the Rams, So I

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: thought it was for a non quarterback. I mean, we've

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: seen some off the forty nine ers made one for

52
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: trade lance. I think it's one of the craziest Draft

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: day trades I can remember for a non quarterback.

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the last time I got

55
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: three texts from NFL employees and all went mistake by

56
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: the Jacks, like all landed on the same spot. And

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: this is a very young GM. And again, Travis Hunter

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: is going to be a really sensational talent, there's no question.

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: But there's also going to be some growing pains on

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: the fact that he's not going to be in meetings

61
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: for one side of the ball on a regular basis. So,

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: and I mean, listen, this really isn't as much about

63
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: the Jags as it is Cleveland. They're trying to get

64
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: out from this tonnage of Deshaun Watson's contract, and the

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: way to do it is get a star quarterback. I mean,

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: that's how the Broncos got out from the ton of

67
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Jeer Russell Wilson. They got bo Nicks, who will be

68
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: free for four years. So yeah, I didn't. I didn't

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: like it at all. I just think, you know, we

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: could always take shots at Cleveland. But I've always been

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: a Stefanski fan, and I have people that really like

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: Andrew Berry. I think this is a really easy deal

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: to make. And then, by the way, you slide down

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: to five. Now, a lot of people think Mason Graham

75
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: is more in the eight to twelve range as a

76
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: draft pick because it's ceilings low, and I think in

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: most years that would be fair. One of the people

78
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: that loved what Cleveland did didn't love Mason Graham as

79
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: a number five pick. He said he's closer to ten

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: than he is to five. But again, he's going to start,

81
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: you know in that division, Northern Division, it's a rugged division.

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Did you like what Cleveland did at five with Graham

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: after making a pretty shrewd move to get all those picks?

84
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, the note that I wrote down, I mean,

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter for Cleveland doesn't do that much right.

86
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 4: I mean, there are.

87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: Several players away in their quarterback situation's disaster. When you

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: think Mason Graham, and you watch the way Michigan's played

89
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years obviously in that area. Too

90
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: ideal for the AFC North like that, that'd be my thing.

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Like that guy is just made do play in cold

92
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: weather against Pittsburgh against Baltimore. Yeah, teams that want to

93
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: play physical, slow down the game.

94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: So I listen, this is draft.

95
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean McMillan went eight, Kelvin Banks went nine. I

96
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: mean this wasn't exactly Tony Boselli, you know, and Miles

97
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Garrett coming off the board here right in this ragne.

98
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: So I have no problem with going Mason Graham to

99
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: me where they could have taken me and you colin

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: the moment they made that trade, Cleveland won the draft.

101
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: Yeah they get next year's to me, the likelihood Jacksonville

102
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: first time head coach, young coaching staff.

103
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: I mean, they could easily be a five to six

104
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: win team.

105
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: We do not know if their quarterback is good and

106
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: he has struggled to stay healthy. And I get Liam

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: Cohen had a big year with Baker Mayfield, but Baker

108
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: he did resurrect. Baker Mayfield was good the previous year too.

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: That's how Dave Canalis got a job. So it's not

110
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: like he just made Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfields now two

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: good years in a row. So I think that the

112
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland again could have taken anybody the moment they got

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: the future one and the second.

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 4: Think how often we see.

115
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Good players get drafted in the thirties. Happens every year,

116
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: regardless how good the draft is, because the same type

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: player is there in the mid thirties. It can be

118
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: impact starters that you get for like one point five

119
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: million dollars a year.

120
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what to your point is Cleveland gets

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: Jacksonville's first round pick next year. What's crazy about that

122
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: is that could be a top six pick easy.

123
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: I mean, that is nuts.

124
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: We've seen it happen a couple of years in a

125
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: row where the Lions benefited. The one year when they

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: had the Stafford trade and the Rams had that awful

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: year and McVeagh like thought about quitting football to go

128
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: work at Amazon. They got a top what they got

129
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: the six pick that they turned into Laporta in Gibbs.

130
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: We saw it the year when Denver was awful and

131
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: Seattle got a really high pick and took Witherspoon. We

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: have seen these future ones on. It's usually a player

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: trade Russell Wilson, Matt Stafford, whatever, but sometimes on a

134
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: draft day trade remembers Chicago traded from twenty to eleven.

135
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: Yes, with the Giants, and.

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Then they were terrible the next year, and the Giants

137
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: got multiple picks in the top ten. Now, you still

138
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: got to make the right pick with that selection. But

139
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: the amount of flexibility if you let's assume Cleveland isn't

140
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: going to be that good, I mean their quarterback situation disaster.

141
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: If I tell you next year they have picked five

142
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: and nine, yeah, you got a lot to work with.

143
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: That's why they made the move.

144
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: This was a real obvious one to me, and I

145
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: had mentioned this multiple times. Geno Smith with a run game,

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: throwing on play action, is actually a pretty good quarterback.

147
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: He's very Sam Darnald. When he gave Sam a little

148
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: protection and a run game, and he can throw when

149
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: nobody's quite sure he's throwing. He's very effective. When you

150
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: force Donald or Gino Smith to throw on third and eleven,

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: or they have to throw it a beat fast, that's

152
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: when you get the mistakes. I thought genty and I

153
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: also wonder this, if you look at Pete Carroll's history.

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: He's old school, Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Bush, Lendale White. His

155
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: great teams have had stars in the backfield, which sets

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: the table for his offense. Pete hates mistakes by quarterbacks

157
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: and Geno doesn't make a ton when he's throwing on

158
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: play action.

159
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: So I think Genty, I love that pick for the Raiders.

160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: I have been.

161
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Probably one of the counterculture movements here with this asmin

162
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: gent like hype.

163
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: I mean, people have been.

164
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: Comparing to Barry Sanders or you know, Ladanian Tomlinson. I

165
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: think any time that you compare a player to the

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, it's like when you're comparing cam

167
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Ward to Patrick Holmes, we gotta tell you to pump

168
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the brakes. But I you know, listen Kenneth Walker who

169
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: was picked later when he was healthy for Seattle with Charbonade.

170
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Their run game was good, like you said, Gino was

171
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: really really GOODEP. My issue here is, like I have

172
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: experience in the Mountain West. I know the difference in

173
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: the competition relative to the Big Ten and obviously the SEC.

174
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: It is dramatic.

175
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Now in an individual, like in a vacuum, he has

176
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: a special talent, and he had the opportunity to surely

177
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: go to Texas or Ohio State. He turned down money.

178
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like people didn't want him. But like

179
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: playing against Washington State, New Mexico, Fresno State, and San

180
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Diego State is going to be a little different animal

181
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: than the Chargers, Denver and Kansas City, which you could

182
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: argue is the best defensive division in the sport. We

183
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: know Mentor and how good the charges are, so it's

184
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: just gonna be difficult for him.

185
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 4: We saw this year.

186
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, I don't the Raiders offensive line's okay, but

187
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be tough. I just I get it.

188
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I honestly thought they would go with a lineman there,

189
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: especially a defensive lineman. You know, remember Pete Carroll over

190
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: the years has now it hasn't always worked out. Bruce Irvin,

191
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: I thought he would be aggressive there. But you know

192
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: that they swung for the fences. It gives them some

193
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: star power that there's no disputing. It makes them more

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: interesting to watch because they they were an unwatchable product

195
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. So Austin gent Tp Carroll,

196
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, I'll pay attention. I still I mean, I'm

197
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: not picking them to win that many games based on

198
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: what we what we have on the roster right now.

199
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: Colston Lovelin was plus six fifty to be the number

200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: ten pick. He he's a very unique player, so I

201
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: know three t I mean, the Rams and Chargers both

202
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: liked him. The Bears obviously liked him, and even with

203
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: cole Comett, they now have DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, cole Comett,

204
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: Colston Loveland. They went and got Dolman, the center from Atlanta,

205
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: Joe Tooney. They liked their right tackle. I was texting

206
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: somebody in the league about this, and one of the

207
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 2: things we both landed at was the future of this franchise.

208
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: They've never had a great quarterback is Caleb Williams. You

209
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: have to make it work. You know the talents there

210
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: and this is like this is like weapons plus plus

211
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: plus plus plus. You have to make this work.

212
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: I don't remember a young quarterback on a second year

213
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: of a rookie deal getting more help. They go outside

214
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, whose I would say, one of the more

215
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: hyped doc's of the last decade. Yeah, you mentioned you

216
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: forgot the Rams offensive lineman that they also traded for

217
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: that Ben Johnson had coached in Detroit.

218
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: So they get a new.

219
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: Center, two new guards they already hadn't invested in tackles.

220
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: DJ Moore is one of the more verstable players in

221
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: the league. They invested the ninth pick last year into

222
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Roma Dude Day.

223
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

224
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: So it's like, if you're.

225
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: A Chicago their defensive personnels are good and they have

226
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: an established defensive coordinator in Dennis Allen coming. You know,

227
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: the hype that was behind the Bears last year I

228
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: thought was crazy. I do think there's some substance now

229
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: behind this. Now, I don't know if it's gonna work.

230
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: I gotta let it breathe here for a month or two.

231
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: But there is, you know, legitimate pieces on the offensive,

232
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: a defensive line, a play caller that knows what he's doing,

233
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. You know, ebra Flus had to be

234
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator and the head coach. He was completely

235
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: over his head as a head coach. Good defensive coordinator.

236
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: Now Dennis Allen can just focus on the defense. Ben

237
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: can just be the head coach, slash the offensive coordinator

238
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: and really just focus on Caleb. To me, the question

239
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: is going to be and I think this is the

240
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: working thing with all these young quarterbacks moving into the league.

241
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Can they teach him to get rid of the ball

242
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: quicker and play in a more rhythm timing offense, run

243
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: the ball more like they did in Detroit because and

244
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: the one thing they got going against him is the

245
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: division is really really good. So it's not like it's

246
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: hard to win ten games, especially a franchise that has

247
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: not been winning. But I would feel much. I know

248
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: the hype was so crazy last year behind the Bears.

249
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: If I was a Bears fan right now, I would

250
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: just feel like we have a real identity and team

251
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: right now.

252
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 2: Well, and I also think if you go look at

253
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: what happens at the end of the year, it is

254
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: really hard even if you have a great defensive team. Remember, statistically,

255
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: defensive players get hurt more than offensive players. It's a

256
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: more reckless side of the ball. And so what if

257
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: you start looking at the end of years. Great Niner

258
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: defenses two three years ago can get carved up. Good

259
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Philadelphia defenses can get carved up. And my takeaway is

260
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: if you're like Pittsburgh's got all sorts of defensive talent,

261
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: the Bears are like listen, historically they would go. Over

262
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: the last fifteen years, they've had very good defensive players.

263
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: If you're going to be if you're going to be

264
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: heavy on one side of the ball, if you're gonna

265
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: make mistakes, if roma Dunza's a mistake, it's the right

266
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: side of the ball to make a mistake, not a

267
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: safe or an off ball linebacker. Like I look at

268
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 2: it and I think to myself, there are not a

269
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: lot of teams in this league, John that have Colcombe

270
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: at Colston Loveland at tight end. And by the way,

271
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: for a young quarterback, tight ends are a great ally.

272
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

273
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: Two things.

274
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: You know, we talked so much the hype on Tyler Warren,

275
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean his team because Michigan was bad this year

276
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: and Loveland had gotten injured, he became kind of the

277
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: apple of everyone's eye.

278
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: He's massive.

279
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: Well, it's not like Loveland's small. He's basically six six,

280
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: two fifty. He's huge. How about Harball as a talent evaluator,

281
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they sent a record last year

282
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: for guys getting drafted in a class. They just they

283
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: had an awful team.

284
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: This year.

285
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: They had three guys get drafted in the in the

286
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: top thirteen picks.

287
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: The two of them were defensive tackles.

288
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the Harbaugh say what you want.

289
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: That guy can evaluate young men to play football.

290
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 3: Holy Molly well.

291
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: And by the way, that's why when the Charger I

292
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: remember talking to Dean Spanish about this, I said, you're

293
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: gonna get the next two years. You guys will draft

294
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: as well as anybody. Because Jim recruited all these players.

295
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: It was about the thirdieth first two years for Pete

296
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: Carolyn Seattle. Probably the first two to three years Pete

297
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: crush the draft, and then by year four, five, and six,

298
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: you just lose a connectivity to college football. But Harball

299
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: last year, great draft. This year will be a stupendous draft,

300
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: and he's probably got them one more year where you

301
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: recruited guys and saw him on tape. The NBA eighty

302
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: two game grind is done. Now the real fun begins.

303
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: The NBA Playoffs.

304
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: Love them.

305
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: They're here.

306
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: Time for drama, clutch moments, Steph Curry, Lebron joh dropping plays.

307
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: I can't wait. If you're looking to make the playoffs

308
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: even more exciting. DraftKings Sports but Cashua Cover. They're the

309
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: official sports betting partner of the NBA playing games all

310
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: the way to the finals. Now's the time to back

311
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: your favorite players and teams as they chase glory. So

312
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: all season long, Draft King's been the go to spot

339
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: You know I love the general manager of the Tampa

340
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers. Have I told you this before they went

341
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: and drafted Imika Egbuka, the wide receiver at Ohio State.

342
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: I I believe most general managers believe he is one

343
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: of one, the best receiver or the only receiver to

344
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: be a first round receiver. I think the Texas kid

345
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: as a late first rounder. Everybody I talk to love him,

346
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: and what's great is he can play sideline. But he

347
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: didn't take that many snaps outside for Oil State for

348
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: obvious reasons. They're stacked at quarterback with Jeremiah Smith or

349
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: at receiver. They're stacked. They don't need sideline receivers. He

350
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: would be a sideline receiver or a slot receiver any

351
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: other program in the country except like Ohio State and

352
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: Alabama because they have so many great players, so he'll

353
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: come in and immediately play for them. I think he

354
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: is a prime example because he's not a burner John.

355
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: He's a prime example of maturity, interviews, professionalism that could

356
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: have moved him up ten to twelve spots. He was

357
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: considered a second round talent the minute the season ended.

358
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: His value beyond being excellent, is he is considered a

359
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: mature in a league where we're having wide receiver divas

360
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: emerge like every weekend. I think his personality is a

361
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: huge part of him going this high.

362
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I remember the stat last year when

363
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: the Week one is that Tampa had like forty three

364
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: or forty four drafted players on their fifty three man roster.

365
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: Jason light has been, if not the best, a top

366
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: two or three drafter over the last five or six years.

367
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: And when you.

368
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: Look in, you know the Baker that you originally started

369
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: talking about back at Oklahoma is a completely different human being.

370
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: Now Tampa's got a really high level team. Know from

371
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: Wharfs to Mike Evans to Vita Vea. I mean, their

372
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: guys on their squad are just like Honestly, Jason Light

373
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: comes from New England and I'm talking the Vrabel Bruskie

374
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: New England days with Tom Brady. He's kind of built

375
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: that version with Baker Mayfield as his quarterback. Super smart,

376
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: super tough.

377
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 2: Steve Kim told me he thought Jason Light was one

378
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 2: of the best scouts he'd ever followed it. Ki Kime

379
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: told me because I always told we. Kim got in

380
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: and got into a discussion with me about two years ago.

381
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: We're smoking cigars, and I said, you ever noticed every

382
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: Buccaneers team is stacked. They just couldn't get the quarterback

383
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: right before Brady. But like and he goes, oh, yeah,

384
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 2: it's Jason. He goes that he is. He is as

385
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: good a scout as we've had in this league. He goes,

386
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: he just didn't miss he was so good. You know,

387
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: that's and that's how you become a GM. You're a

388
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: great scout.

389
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Initially, well, they built their offensive line from taking smaller

390
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: school tackles and tournament at guards and centers, and you know,

391
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: obviously they've had Mike Evans to kind of settle in

392
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 1: Vida Vey as like a stalwart players minus, you know,

393
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: separate from Tom Brady. But yeah, I mean you tell

394
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: me he could have drafted anybody. It'd be like, yeah,

395
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: I like to pick now. Like you said, I mean,

396
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: this guy, what didn't he set records at Ohio State

397
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: for yards, catches games. I mean, he's he's a stud.

398
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: The other thing is when you go to a team

399
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: that has I mean they re signed God when they

400
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: got him on a cheaper number because he remember he

401
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: shattered his ankle. Obviously they still have Evans, this guy

402
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: the pressure on him to They're not gonna need him

403
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: to catch seventy balls next year. Their running game last

404
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: year with Bucky Irving, I mean their team honestly, they

405
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: in a weird way underachieved because they had so many

406
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: injuries the second half of the season. On defense, they

407
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: couldn't stop anybody. To me, if they are healthy, there's

408
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: a pretty big gap in that division if they're healthy,

409
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: like between them and the number two team. Like, the

410
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: only reason it was close between them and Atlanta this

411
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: year is because they had a million injuries on defense.

412
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: But like, they're a much better run organization.

413
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: You know what Baker's turned into the like, there's no

414
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: disputing Baker's really become the last two years a top

415
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: ten quarterback. Yeah, and clearly just his maturation. Like a

416
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: lot of us guys, you know, in the late twenties,

417
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: it kicks in. He gets married, has a kid, and

418
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: he's a different guy.

419
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: And as a.

420
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: Player, he plays much faster, had slimmed down. His arm's

421
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: always been great. And now he's got three with Obuka,

422
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: with Mike Evans and Godwin and running backs and a

423
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: good offensive line. I mean that their offense should be

424
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: really good.

425
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 4: Colin.

426
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: Now, if you look at the draft so far, there's

427
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: only two players that I believe can turn losses into wins.

428
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: Cam Ward at Tennessee replacing will Levis. If I told

429
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: you they won four more games just simply because of

430
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: significant upgrade at quarterback in that division, I think we

431
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: both go yeah.

432
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

433
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: I mean cam Ward to will Levis Is is a

434
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: D to a B. And the other player that I

435
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: I mean this draft is not exceptional. I do think

436
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: Ashton Gens will be a pretty spectacular player for the Raiders,

437
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: and with Chip Kelly's brain, the brock Bauers Gino Smith.

438
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: This is not a draft where people are changing outcomes.

439
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: And Jayden Daniels changed outcomes. We thought Kayleb Williams, would

440
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: it Bo Nicks changed outcomes. I could argue that Tennessee

441
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: and Vegas will be because of their first round players.

442
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: Would you agree, noticeably more dynamic offenses and an offensive league.

443
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

444
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: I think there's been one team, minimum from the top

445
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: five that has made the playoffs over the last five years.

446
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: And you know, I remember when the forty nine ers

447
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: had the number two overall pick and they took Bosa

448
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they had a thirteen

449
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: win team and they were in the Super Bowl in

450
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I don't know if there's one of those

451
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: teams here, but I'm with you. I mean that they

452
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: lost Josh Jacobs last year the Raiders.

453
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 4: And their running game was a Joe.

454
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they were just they were in bad shape

455
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: as an organization. So anytime you get a guy that

456
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: that that is that good. But like I said, you

457
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: know that going from the Mountain West, he's a fantastic

458
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: prospect and a fantastic his His his tape this year

459
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: look like a high school kid going to Nick Saban

460
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: in his prime. But it's a pretty big difference. I mean,

461
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: their division is really really hard, and you know, Cleveland,

462
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: I think is.

463
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: Cool with sitting back.

464
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: I do think there's a lot of pressure on Will Campbell.

465
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: He is a guy that if we assume that the

466
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to be a viable you know, low

467
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: level like kind of like Denver was this year operation,

468
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna need Will Campbell to the don't need to

469
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: be Trent Williams, but can he just be a starter,

470
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: a solid player that you can kind of rely on immediately.

471
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 4: There's gonna be Listen, the arm length thing.

472
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: People push back, but it's it's I know it's crazy

473
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: to sound like an inch is a make or break deal,

474
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: but historically it is difficult out there on edge. Think

475
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: how many teams now have good pass rushers.

476
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Chargers select o Marion Hampton, the running back from

477
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina. Okay, so this is interesting. So I went

478
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: to dinner with Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator for the Chargers.

479
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: He was on Friday night, and you know, he's not

480
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: gonna give me any intel, but we we really talked

481
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: a lot about football and what the team needed, and

482
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to pry information.

483
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 3: But the one thing that we you know, we agreed with.

484
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: I said, I wouldn't be.

485
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: Shocked if you guys didn't go tight end, running back, interior,

486
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, wide receiver.

487
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: And you know Greg acknowledged.

488
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: He goes, Listen, we got good players, but we probably

489
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: need a little juice. We probably need a little bit

490
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: more juice. And and that's that. And I said, do

491
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: you like Colston Loveland? He's like, everybody likes Colston Loveland.

492
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: Do you like Hampton? He goes, everybody likes Hampton. So

493
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: I mean this to me, Nauseie Harris and Hampton. Okay,

494
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 2: now with Joel Ault last year and Mashaan Slater at

495
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: left tackle, John this is a Jim Harball football team.

496
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 2: I picked them to win their division this year. This

497
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: is a Jim Harball football team. Between those two picks,

498
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 2: a power running speed guy Naji Harris, by the way, Similarly,

499
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: now he didn't have the burst of Hampton, but Naji

500
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: Harris is a power running back. I mean even last

501
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: year JK Dobbins, who's got some girth to him, got

502
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: some size. This is really starting to feel like a

503
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh team.

504
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: Well, if you had to bet right now, who's gonna

505
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: have the better career Omarion Hampton with Harbaugh, Who's I

506
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: think gonna retire as the Chargers coach and Genty with

507
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders situation, you would have to bet on Jim

508
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and his running back. So, you know, I think

509
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of teams in the league thought that Omarion

510
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Hampton was a big time player. Now Genty got all

511
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: the buzz and all the hype. This guy's a stud Colling.

512
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: They gave Naji Harris some money. I mean, think about

513
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: the discussion when DK mex calf was on the block

514
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: that the Chargers are going to go trade for him.

515
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: It's like, guys, I never understand these people making these

516
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: these guesses about what Harbaugh's gonna do. That is just

517
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: so different from what he's done for fifteen twenty years

518
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: offensive linemen, running backs. He'll he'll take another linebacker. I mean,

519
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: it's the way he builds his team that they're gonna

520
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: be good. I Mean, it was pretty clear last year

521
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: with Denver and with the Chargers that was going to

522
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: be the worst version of those two teams. Try Sean

523
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: Payton and him moving forward, That's why the pressure on

524
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, each and Andy feel like we gotta stay

525
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: We got to keep nailing picks. We got to keep

526
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: being good because these guys are coming and listen, I'm

527
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: not trying to be a Raider hater here. They're going

528
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: to be better. But from a roster standpoint, to me.

529
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: They were clearly the fourth operation in this division.

530
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: So if you look at what they have now, they

531
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: have their quarterback and Justin Herbert, they have their left

532
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: and right tackle, Slater and Joe Halt. They have Nause Harris,

533
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: who was clearly under you lie than under coached in Pittsburgh.

534
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean he even admitted Naji Harris acknowledged we didn't

535
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: really have we didn't really have an identity in Pittsburgh,

536
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: which they don't off actively. Now you've got Hampton the

537
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: breakaway runner and Najee Harris the power runner the offense.

538
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: Now now they're going to go interior, O lineman, sideline

539
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: receiver and tied end at some point in this draft

540
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: that's where they're going. It feels like it feels like

541
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: to me, this is one of the more predictable teams

542
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: in the draft because the defense, let's face it, last year,

543
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: it overachieved or at least achieved to the level that

544
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: should have with Brandon Staley. I think the Chargers. I

545
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: think everybody in the ballpark knows what that Greg Roman

546
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: needs juice and he just got a powder keg of it.

547
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

548
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean I saw Greg Roman a decade ago with

549
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: Frank Gore kicking everyone's ass, and that Harbaugh team their

550
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: best receiver was Michael Crabtree. And I think we all

551
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: believe that Justin Herbert has a chance. I know he

552
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: had a really bad playoff game. Peyton Manning had a bunch.

553
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL, you don't get a seven game series,

554
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: so you have a bad playoff game. It leaves the

555
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: stink in everyone's mouth. Do you want to sell Justin

556
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: Herbert stock?

557
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: I'll buy some.

558
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine Greg Roman says like, we like this

559
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: quarterback a lot, and I don't blame him.

560
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 4: So I think the Chargers listen.

561
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was a betting man, I would

562
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: say that Jim Harbaugh is gonna end.

563
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 4: His coaching career as a Super Bowl champion.

564
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: Now, it might not happen in twenty twenty five, but

565
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: they are going to be a major, major factor not

566
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: just in the AFC, but in the NFL.

567
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: I think over the next several years.

568
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is basically six foot two hundred

569
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: and twenty five pounds, runn a four four five.

570
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: This guy's a stud.

571
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy part of when you draft this player,

572
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be with the nucleus of Alt and

573
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: Slater and Herbert now for the next five six years. Like,

574
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: this is part of that nucleus with some of the

575
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: guys they drafted last year. And to me, if Naji,

576
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, for a while he got overdrafted. Yeah, looking back,

577
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: you know he's a first round pick, but he's not

578
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: that good.

579
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: But he's a good role.

580
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: Player, and I think sometimes in Pittsburgh they were very

581
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: dependent on him. Now he just gets to be a

582
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: role player for Jim Harball, who will mix these running

583
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: backs in with Greg Roman and they will run the ball.

584
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: Danniels row, They're gonna play defense and run the ball

585
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: Danniars throw. He's been doing it. I mean, he probably

586
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: wished he could have done it when he was a quarterback,

587
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: and he's been doing it ever since he was a coach.

588
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 1: So I couldn't be any more bullish on the Chargers

589
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: at least shocking pick so far. At the night harp

590
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: Aft took to go running back in the first round

591
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: the Rams.

592
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 2: So there were two beliefs with the La Rams. They

593
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: really like Colston Loveland and they really liked rock Bowers

594
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: last year. So McVay, who has a history with tight ends,

595
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: would like to get a tight end. But I had

596
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: talked to les Sneed during the off season. I talked

597
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: to him probably two months ago and we just had

598
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: a text exchange and he said, listen, it wouldn't crush

599
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: us if we moved out of the first round because

600
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: they don't have a second round pick.

601
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, they traded with Atlanta. So the Giants traded

602
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 4: with the Texans, and then.

603
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: So the Falcons at twenty six take James Pierce the

604
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: Edge from Tennessee. So Atlanta's had a lousy pass rush forever,

605
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: so I mean they have struggled with a pass rush,

606
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: so that is predictable. Remember they've got Matt Judon last

607
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: year from the New England Patriots. They thought would help.

608
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Listen to this, Colin, listen what Lesnie just did. So

609
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: they traded with the Falcons. They get their second round pick,

610
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: which is pick forty six, they get next year's first

611
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: round pick.

612
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: Oh jesus, so the Rams have nexteer ones next year.

613
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 4: So the Rams.

614
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: Now have you said they didn't have a second round pick, yeah,

615
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: the Rams. So the Rams get a second round pick,

616
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: now pick forty six, that's our first pick of this draft,

617
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: and they get next year's Falcons one.

618
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: Wow, and that will be a top fifteen pick.

619
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: You would think that that seems to get to trade

620
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: up to get James Pierce.

621
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I think that's Schniper.

622
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: I think that's insane. I mean some of these, some

623
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: of these trades, Colin, I just.

624
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: I don't understand that.

625
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: My mind around, I'm at a loss for words.

626
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: You just got Atlanta's first round pick for James Pierce,

627
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: the third to fourth best edge rusher in not a

628
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: great edge rusher class.

629
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: At least if you're trading a future first round pick

630
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: and you get Travis Hunter, a guy that's never unprecedented

631
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: what the guy just did probably since leather helmets, someone

632
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: playing both ways, right, So.

633
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: It was that s I mean, you're looking.

634
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy, but I given a future first

635
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: round pick to do it, Like, at least you could

636
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: justify it in the room, James Pierce, decent Rusher. I

637
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: mean at pick twenty five, you don't trade a future

638
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: first round pick to trade up for a player in

639
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: the twenties.

640
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: That's that can't happen, especially.

641
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: A lot a d lineman. What defensive lineman is he

642
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: off the board? Six or seven? I think how many

643
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: guys have already come off the board that all these

644
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: teams passed on?

645
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: Jesus maybe one thing.

646
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: If someone was falling because of a you know, like

647
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: a Laramie Tunzel bong issue or something, you're like, well, this.

648
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: Guy should have been the fourth pick in the draft.

649
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: We're going all in. He's one of the most talented guys.

650
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: That's crazy. That's well.

651
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: Also, so the Rams will have two number one picks

652
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: next year. There's in Atlantas, so you're gonna probably get

653
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: one that's the top fifteen and one that's somewhere in

654
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: the twenties.

655
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: But remember.

656
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: Stafford's there's a sense in the room. Stafford's got two

657
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: years of the Rams left. So next year is the

658
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: year you would draft a quarterback or later in this round,

659
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: Later in this draft, like fourth round. Kyle McCord, Syracuse, Again,

660
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: I feel like Cleveland took Jacksonville to the cleaners, and

661
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: I feel like the Rams took Atlanta to the cleaners.

662
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: How often I don't ever remember Jesus a team getting

663
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: another team's first round pick.

664
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: In a bad draft for the fifth best egge rusher.

665
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 4: It was drafting twenty six.

666
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: Usually, when you accumulate those first round picks, you're drafting really,

667
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: really high. That has to be at first in the

668
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: Internet era, I'm drafting twenty six and I trade back

669
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: and I get to the team's first round pick, and

670
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm not trading a player, right, I'm not trading, you know,

671
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: for DK Metcalf or Tyreek Hill or something. I'm literally

672
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: just trading you pick twenty six. Now, the Rams also

673
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: gave their third round pick this.

674
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: Year, so well, they have two thirds and a fourth,

675
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: so they have a second there. Now, let's they have

676
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: a second, a third, a fourth, and four sixes.

677
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: They don't have a lot of needs.

678
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: John, they need a corner, an inside linebacker, they could

679
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: use a tight end, and an offensive tackle.

680
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: They need have four needs.

681
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: And I understand that that Sean and Raheem are good buddies,

682
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: but that felt like taking advantage of everybody. Now I

683
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: do wonder for the GM, Terry Fontineau, for Raheem Morris.

684
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that owner's mid eighties. He has unlimited amounts

685
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: of money. And you've talked about this for a long time.

686
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: These owners now in basketball and football are firing guys

687
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: paying you thirty million dollars away.

688
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: Is couch change to them.

689
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if these guys pissed off the owner last

690
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: year because they got over aggressive with Cousins and then

691
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: they fell in love with what's penix after and then

692
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: Cousins sucked. Now the owners meeting with Cousins, you know,

693
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: because he's pissed off. He just gave him ninety million

694
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: dollars and Cousins got a no trade clause, so it's

695
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: not easy to just deal them. He's kind of got

696
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: them by the balls and let's and then they missed

697
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. You know, they hire the biggest

698
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: staff in the league, and Raheem goes, well, we plan

699
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: on losing coaches because he's acting like we're gonna be

700
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: really good. They go under five hundred. I wonder if

701
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: that owner is like, you guys better win and win now.

702
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer I have. There's pressure

703
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: on you, guys. This felt like one of those, like

704
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: there's pressure from above the volume,
