1
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has spoken and still is undecided about his future.

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: We will break down what the four time NFL MVP

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: said today, what he didn't say, what it all means

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and beyond. With the NFL Draft now just

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: one week away, Travis Hunter is the unicorn of this draft.

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Just ask the man who, quite possible will pick him

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: next week. Here from Browns GM Andrew Berry on his

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: plans for Hunter if Hunter's the man in Cleveland at

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: number two, and Brian Baaldinger's.

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: Thoughts on that match as well.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Another one of the most productive players in college football

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: these past couple of years played ball at North Carolina

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick actually tried to keep him there, but

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: o'marion Hampton decided to go to the draft anyway, and

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: tonight he joins us to talk about where he could

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: be headed next. Welcome inside with the Insiders alongside Judy

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Batista and Ian Rappaport, I am Tom Pellisero.

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: One week.

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: One week from right now, the entire area around lambeau

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Field will be absolutely jam packed, elbow to elbow with

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: people who may or may not be enjoying now A

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: couple of light beers in the semi cold of Green

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Bay this time of year, we are in the final

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: countdown two, that momentous occasion where we could have several

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks taken in Round one, maybe the one by the

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Steelers who are still waiting for an answer from Aaron Rodgers.

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: He came out of his silence today and appeared with

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: his good friend Pat McAfee on the Pat McAfee Show.

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: Discussed a lot of different things, a lot of different reports,

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: and at a time that he is still a free agent.

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: It does not sound like that's changing anytime soon.

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: I'll said it all. I have no problem.

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: Listen, you know from the jump it's you know, I'm

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: in a different phase of my life. I'm forty one

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: years old. I'm in a serious relationship. I have off

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: the field, off the field stuff going on that requires

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: my attention. I have personal commitments I made not knowing

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: what my future was going to look like after last year,

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: that that are important to me. And and I have,

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: you know, a couple of people in my inner inner

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: circle who are really battling some some difficult stuff. So

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: I have a lot of things that are that are

43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: taking my attention and have beginning in really January away

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: from away from football, and that's been where I've been

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: focusing most of my attention on. You know, to make

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: a commitment to a team is a big thing. I'm

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: open to anything and attached to nothing. So so yeah,

48
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: retirement still could be, could be a possibility.

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot more to that interview, Ian, but I

50
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: was struck above all else by one thing when he

51
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: was at asked by Pat, hey, does this come down

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: to you're gonna play for the Steelers if you play

53
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: at all? Only a couple of years ago, when he

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: was asked a similar question about the Jets in this case,

55
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: he demurred entirely.

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: What else did we learn in that interview?

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that to me was the most noteworthy thing, besides

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: the fact that Aaron Rodgers basically had no decision, no announcement.

59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 5: I know, when Pat mccabee comes out and says we're

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: gonna have a significant newsmaker, everyone's like, all right, well,

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 5: this is going to be the Aaron Rodgers announcement. There

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 5: was a lot of Aaron Rodgers, but it was most

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: certainly not an announcement, And in fact, what he didn't

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: say was to me just as important as what he

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 5: didn't say. He didn't have a decision. He didn't tell

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 5: us that it would be the Steelers or bust. He

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: didn't rule out retirement. And these things are all really

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 5: important because you're right. There have been a tonch of reports,

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 5: lots of articles, a lot of tweets, a lot of

70
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: discussion points over the last couple of months, all of

71
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: us trying to figure out what Aaron Rodgers is going

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 5: to do. And at each point when there's been an

73
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: opportunity to either narrow it down or clarify, it's like

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: there is some clarification, but we're left with more questions. So, yes,

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 5: it is the Steelers or maybe another team, or retirement.

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: There is no deadline. So if you, Judy, were expecting

77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: a decision before the draft next week, you are certainly

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 5: not going to get it. It seems it seems the

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: Steelers are going to have to go into the draft

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: with this limbo. Still, if the Steelers take a quarterback

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 5: at twenty one, they've done all the quarterback homework, it's

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 5: not going to affect Aaron Rodgers said on the mcabee Show,

83
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: it's not going to affect his decision at all. So

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 5: if the Steelers take what, it's not gonna are now

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: I'm going to retire. This is everything he told us

86
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 5: in a nutshell, which is I know you're watching me,

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: I know you're interested. You're going to have to keep waiting. Meanwhile,

88
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: as he noted, he's not thinking about us very much

89
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 5: at all because he has so many personal things going

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 5: on in his life.

91
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 6: Well, the person who I was thinking about when he

92
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 6: was discussing or not really discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers where

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: it's Arn't Runey the second, the owner of the pittsb

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 6: Burg Steelers, who back when we were all in Palm

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 6: Beach for the annual meeting that was sixteen days ago,

96
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 6: he met with the Pittsburgh Steelers beat reporters and at

97
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 6: that time, at that time he said it had taken

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 6: longer than he had expected.

99
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 7: He said they would still wait, but not forever.

100
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 6: He said at that time he thought it was looking

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 6: positive like it was going in their direction. Again, sixteen

102
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 6: days later, the Steelers, I would say, at that meeting

103
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 6: felt pretty good about where this was headed. I think

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 6: they felt fairly confident that at some point Aaron Rodgers

105
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 6: would be their quarterback. But obviously two weeks have gone

106
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 6: by and there's been no movement, and the takeaway listening

107
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 6: to Aaron Rodgers today was there is no end in

108
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 6: sight to this unless the Pittsburgh Steelers put an end

109
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 6: to this. He feels no pressure to make a decision,

110
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 6: he said, you know, he doesn't feel like he owes

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 6: teams an answer right away.

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 7: So he clearly.

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 6: Does not feel an internal deadline or any internal pressure

114
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 6: to answer the teams. He doesn't feel like he is

115
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 6: holding teams hostage. He used that phrase a few times.

116
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 6: If you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, I do wonder internally if

117
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 6: they now are looking at their draft plans and saying,

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 6: you know what, if we weren't sure that we had

119
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: to take a quarterback before, do we have to revisit

120
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 6: that decision. Do we have to go into this draft

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 6: thinking maybe we need to take one of these quarterbacks

122
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 6: in the second tier or the third tier. Because it

123
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 6: really sounds uncertain with Aaron Rodgers right now.

124
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: So as much as passively, there was certainly a message

125
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: delivered about his interest level or his commitment at this

126
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: point to the Steelers, there was also a very direct

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: message about his old team, the Jets. Juty in the

128
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: first comments we've had from Rogers since Aaron glennon company

129
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: informed him that they were moving another direction.

130
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 6: Well, he said that their meeting, which happened a few

131
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 6: days before the Super Bowl, lasted fifteen minutes. Aaron Rodgers

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 6: said that he flew on his own dime to the

133
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 6: New York area to have that meeting face to face.

134
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 6: He said that he thought there was a lack of

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 6: respect shown in that meeting. He basically said, well, if

136
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 6: it was only going to be fifteen minutes, and Aaron

137
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 6: Glenn told him like, yeah, we're going in a different direction,

138
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 6: couldn't we have done this on the phone. I mean,

139
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 6: I would quibble with that. I would say that always

140
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 6: face to face is more respectful than dropping somebody over

141
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 6: the phone. He certainly was not happy with how that

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 6: meeting went. I would say that the Jets are sort

143
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 6: of like shrugging their shoulders about this. They moved on

144
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 6: long ago. They turned the page basically ever since they

145
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: told Aaron Rodgers that they were turning in a different direction.

146
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 6: I don't really think they've spent much time thinking about

147
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers since then. I will say this. Aaron Glenn

148
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: played for Bill Parcells in Dallas and in New York.

149
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 6: Bill Parcells is one of his mentors. When Aaron Glenn

150
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 6: got hired, I talked to Bill Parcells and he said

151
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 6: to me about Aaron Glenn, he doesn't mind being contentious.

152
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 6: He's not rude, but he will get his message across.

153
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 6: You never doubted who was in charge when Bill Parcells

154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 6: was the coach, and I have a feeling we are

155
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 6: not going to ever doubt who is in charge as

156
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 6: long as Aaron Glenn is in charge of the New

157
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 6: York Jets.

158
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

159
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 5: I mean message delivered about what the Jets wanted to do,

160
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 5: what they thought of Aaron Rodgers. Makeups are always pressed.

161
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 5: I are always messy. I broke up one time over

162
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: text message. It wasn't my fault, it was just how

163
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 5: it happened. Anyway, face to face is much better. That's

164
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: not the only thing we learned, though. Aaron Rodgers also

165
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: took the opportunity to shoot down a couple of reports

166
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: regarding a lot of things.

167
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: It seemed.

168
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 5: I talked about how he was not, in fact waiting

169
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 5: for the Minnesota Vikings, not still waiting something Ben Roethlisberger

170
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 5: had opined about a week or so ago. He was

171
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 5: asked specifically about the Saints, didn't confirm her de and

172
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: I obviously the Saints and now have a quarterback question

173
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 5: with Derek Carr's future very much in doubt, and said

174
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 5: he's not looking for a lot of money, not looking

175
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: for a multi year deal. He would play for just

176
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 5: ten million dollars with certainly if it ends up being

177
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 5: the Steelers, no doubt, something they're gonna remember. Clear to

178
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 5: the air on a lot of things. Didn't clear the

179
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: air on whether he wants to play or where he's

180
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 5: gonna play, which you know is sort of the important

181
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: thing for his future in ours.

182
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: We got plenty more to say about Aaron Rodgers, but

183
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: real quick before I let this point go here, Ian,

184
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: why did you break up with the girl over text?

185
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: And why was text the preferred form of communication in

186
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: that moment?

187
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 5: It wasn't the preferred It was just the conversation led

188
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 5: us in a direction and it was either like pick

189
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: up the phone or just continue on, And the inertia

190
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: of the conversation took me to finish it out on TAKEE.

191
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: It wasn't great.

192
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 5: I'm not like that that proud of it, but such

193
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 5: as life, you know it's too bad.

194
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Well you brought it up on national TV, so I'm

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: sure we will absolutely revisit this again sometime soon. Don't

196
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: mention it's one week out from the NFL Draft. We'll

197
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: have many more important things to talk about, including guys

198
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: like cam Lord, shaduor Sanders, Ashtroing Genty and Travis Hunter,

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: who after Award is the presumptive number one pick to

200
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: the Titans, could well be the second man off the board.

201
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: Hunter will be in Green Bay. The Browns own that

202
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: number two overall selection. One of the rare, rare people

203
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the NFL. He's a wide receiver,

204
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: he is a cornerback. He is somebody that Andrew Berry says, well,

205
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: we really haven't seen before.

206
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 8: We wouldn't necessarily put a cap or a governor in

207
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 8: terms of like what he could do. You know, we

208
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 8: would want to be smart in terms of how we

209
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 8: how we started him out. You know, I think I've

210
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 8: mentioned before, you know, we would see his first home

211
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 8: as receiver in a second home, you know, on the

212
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 8: defense at the ball and I'm going to use a

213
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 8: crossboard now. It's a little bit like Otani right where

214
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 8: you know, when he's playing one side, he's he's an

215
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 8: outstanding player. If he's if he's a pitcher, he's a hitter,

216
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 8: he's an outstanding player. You obviously get a unicorn if

217
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 8: you use them both ways.

218
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: Be very similar to Otani.

219
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: If Travis Hunter suffered a torn acl you still could

220
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: play one of the two positions.

221
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: Anyway. We'll let that slide. Decent enough comparison there.

222
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Take a look at Bucky Brooks top five wide receiver

223
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: prospects in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, Travis Hunter

224
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: number one top corners. Also, Travis Hunter right there at

225
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: the top. Absolutely no surprise and certainly a very very

226
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: rare occasion as we bring our Brian Baldinger into the

227
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: conversation where you're talking about both these guys both positions

228
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: for one player being up at the top. Here, Baldi,

229
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: and we know that Travis Hunter wants to play both ways.

230
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: What in your mind is the feasibility of that and

231
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: really the reasonability to the club that's going to be

232
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: expending a lot of draft capital to get them.

233
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 9: Well, I was at Schadure Santa's pro day when Travis

234
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 9: Hunter ran routes for him, and the entire Cleveland Brown

235
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 9: organization was there from Jimmy asm the Owner, Andrew Barrety,

236
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 9: Kevin Stefanski, and they were just smitten by watching him work.

237
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 9: I don't think he had to beat a sweat on

238
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 9: him and all those routes that he ran. But you

239
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 9: go back, like every day, I feel like I go

240
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 9: back and watch another piece of Travis Hunter. If you

241
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 9: watch him just in his interception reel, seven interceptions in

242
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 9: two years of Colorado, he's a thief. Like he baits

243
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 9: quarterbacks in college to throw it to one place, and

244
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 9: he beats him to the ball. Like that's an advanced skill.

245
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 9: You know, that's something Ed Reid did not. Everybody knows

246
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 9: how to bit a quarterback to get him to throw

247
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 9: it where they think they can throw it until he

248
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 9: takes away. But he also has that skill to go

249
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 9: get the ball. He's got terrific hams. You see it

250
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 9: on defense, you see an offense I can see. I

251
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 9: think you have to play in both ways because you're

252
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 9: going to see it in practice. If he lines up

253
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 9: in your starting corner against your number one wide receiver,

254
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 9: he might shut him down. He might make your quarterback

255
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 9: look bad. And then if you flip it and you

256
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 9: put him at receiver, against your number one corner. He

257
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 9: might make him look bad and at some point the

258
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 9: whole iron thing sharpens iron. Look, we're in the entertainment business.

259
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 9: I told Andrew Barry in Boulder, Colorado two weeks ago.

260
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 9: I said, I can't wait to do my first breakdown

261
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 9: on Travis Hunter.

262
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: He just laughed.

263
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 9: He goes, we'll watch, and I going, you might very

264
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 9: well watch both sides because we've never seen anything like this.

265
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 9: When they say unicorn, we might actually need another term,

266
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 9: because I think people know what a unicorn is.

267
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 2: I think he's an advanced unicorn.

268
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 5: You know what's interesting to me, Baldy is let's just

269
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 5: say the Cleveland Browns take him a number two. It's

270
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 5: obviously something they are considering. Trying to understand the value

271
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: of Travis Hunter is really difficult. You say, like, well,

272
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: if you're going to take a receiver at number two,

273
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 5: it has to be worth it.

274
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: He has to be like Calvin Johnson.

275
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 5: Okay, what if you're taking Calvin Johnson and Patrick Peterson

276
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 5: or whoever high in the like, what's the actual value?

277
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 5: And it's hard to figure out because it hasn't existed before.

278
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 2: So for the Browns, if it ends up being the Browns.

279
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 5: They're going to get theoretically a player that really has

280
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: not existed in the NFL. And I'm here for all

281
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 5: of that because that's pretty fun.

282
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 9: Well real quick, yeah, I mean, I honestly like that

283
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 9: contract might be the most voluminous contract we've ever seen

284
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 9: because there's going to be incentives on both sides of

285
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 9: the ball, I'm sure, and if he reaches those the milestones,

286
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 9: you know, that contract could be inflated pretty quickly.

287
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 6: I am not sure if you're Andrew Berry, how you

288
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 6: can possibly pass on somebody you just compared to show.

289
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 6: Hey Otani, I feel like once you say that out loud,

290
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 6: you're pretty much tipping your hand that this is the

291
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 6: guy you're going to draft.

292
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 7: I am fascinated.

293
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 6: And this came up at the annual meeting too, talking

294
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 6: to general managers and coaches there the different ways that

295
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 6: teams look at him and how they feel about the

296
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 6: possibility of him playing both ways. And just in the

297
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 6: last two days you've heard two gms say two pretty

298
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: different things. Joe Shane for the Giants yesterday said like, yeah,

299
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 6: I think he can play both ways. We would let

300
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 6: him play both ways. He seems to be unique. He

301
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 6: seems to have unique stamina. You would let him try

302
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 6: to do it. And then Andrew Berry, who has been

303
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 6: steadfast and saying, we think he's a wide receiver first,

304
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: and there would be a package for him on defense,

305
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 6: but wide receiver first, and the stamina would be something

306
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: of a concern. I am so interested to see what

307
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 6: team it is. If it's the Browns, great uh, and

308
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 6: how they approach this end, especially how they approach his

309
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 6: desire to play both ways full time.

310
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: I love that Travis Hunter is so good that Balding

311
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't think unicorn was enough. He said he's an advanced unicorn.

312
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he's got two horns, just kidding, that would be

313

351
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: Type of style.

352
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 10: I feel like all of them were in unique and

353
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 10: different kind of ways. So I feel like just going there,

356
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 10: A lot of traveling, but I mean it's still blessing.

357
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: So we got some numbers here from NFL research. I'm

358
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: just going to say this is a running back. I'm

359
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: not gonna say any names. This is a running back

360
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: in this class right here. First Power Conference player to

361
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: have three thousand rushing yards and thirty touchdowns of two

362
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: seasons span since Breeze Hall. First FBS player to have

363
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: fifteen ard rushing yards and fifteen touchdowns and back to

364
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: back seasons since Travis Etn and Jonathan Taylor. That's not

365
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty, that's Omrion Hampton. Is there a case for you,

366
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: Omaron to be the first running back off the board

367
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: come next Thursday Night?

368
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 10: For me, I just feel like I try to just

369
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 10: focus on ball, trying not to look at any of that.

370
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 10: I feel like whatever team fits me, piace Me is

371
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 10: gonna be the best fit for me. So I feel

372
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 10: like what every team fits me, I'm gonna be excited

373
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 10: for I know they're gonna get the best out of me.

374
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: And then yeah, ye'es there.

375
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 5: Well, So I want to talk about you and Ashton

376
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 5: Genty a little bit, and there's obviously some other good

377
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: runners in this draft. Seems to be a really really

378
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 5: good running back class.

379
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: Can you take us.

380
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 5: Through what makes you special, what you've seen from Ashton

381
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 5: Genty on film, kind of compare and contrast a little

382
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 5: bit your styles for us.

383
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

384
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like this class is very, very talented.

385
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 10: I feel like we all got like different type of

386
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 10: running styles. It kind of just depends on what the

387
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 10: team wants and there with their football team. So I

388
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 10: feel like me, I'm just excited to see all of

389
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 10: the running back the value of the position come back

390
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 10: in style, just like with the same and Derek Henry,

391
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 10: them just going out there showing what the running bent

392
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 10: position can do. So I fel like I'm just decided

393
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 10: to see it and bring that the position itself.

394
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm Arion, you clearly bring you know, speed and elusiveness

395
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: to the tail, but a lot of those. How it's

396
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: the fun ones to me that we showed them that

397
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: reel off the top was you lowered a shoulder into somebody,

398
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: You moving a pile, you bouncing off dudes like a pinball.

399
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: What do you enjoy more making somebody miss or knocking

400
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: somebody back?

401
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

402
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 10: I would say, I would say, now you got to say,

403
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 10: run through somebody. It's always it's always good to run

404
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 10: through somebody. It's always good.

405
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: Look at this, you're there, any garman, you're you're breaking

406
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: arm tackles. It's a bad idea to arm tackle you.

407
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I think it's the bottom line of these highlights right here.

408
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: How do you work on the technique? You know you

409
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: can't really they're not tackling you to the ground. I

410
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: don't think regularly in practice, how do you work on

411
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: the technique and making sure that first guy doesn't get

412
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: you on the ground.

413
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a mindset thing.

414
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 10: You just gotta uh, you gotta can't let the first

415
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 10: man tackle, You can't let get talk about arm tackles,

416
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 10: and then you just gotta in one on one situations,

417
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 10: you gotta win that one on one battle. So I

418
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 10: feel like just doing that on the off season getting

419
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 10: ready for it. Uh, doing stuff like balance different Jews.

420
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 10: This is stuff like that I feel like helps overall.

421
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 11: So yeah, so you obviously went to North Carolina. North

422
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 11: Carolina has been in the news plenty over the course

423
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 11: of the past year with Bill Belichick. Now there, Uh

424
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 11: and one of the biggest story of not the biggest

425
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 11: story in college football. You do not get the chance

426
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 11: to play with Bill Belichick.

427
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: But first of all, have.

428
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 5: You interacted with him at all? And second, have you

429
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: thought about what it would have been like to play

430
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: with one of the NFL's legends.

431
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's a good guy. Me and him

432
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 10: talked a couple of times, just over a few things.

433
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 10: We talked actually once the season got when he first

434
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 10: got hired, I was like one of the few people

435
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 10: first people he talked to and stuff like that.

436
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: But I feel like, yeah, he's a good coach.

437
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 10: I feel like it's hard to not want to come

438
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 10: to you and see it's I feel like it's easy

439
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 10: to recruit f him because he can just say he's

440
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 10: Bill belichick best coach. I mean, I feel like I'm

441
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 10: I'm excited to see what happened.

442
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: Really, so wait, now he's one of the first people

443
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: that he talks to after taking the job. Is he

444
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: at that point, o Marion, trying to trying to bring

445
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: you back, trying to convince you.

446
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: What was his what was his sales pitch if he

447
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: made want to you?

448
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, he talked to me a little bit trying

449
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 10: to get me back. But I kind of have my

450
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 10: mind made up. I talk with my family already, talk

451
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 10: to my agent. So it's been a dream of mind

452
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 10: play in the NFL. So I mean yeah, I feel

453
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 10: like I just had to take the opportunity to do it.

454
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,280

480
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: made a bunch of big additions in this offseason, none

481
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: bigger than the new head coach Ben Johnson. They've remade

482
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line, they beaped up the defensive front, and

483
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: now they got the number ten pick to continue adding.

484
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Piliserobrian Baldingers back.

485
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: We bring in. Are Stacey Dale's there in Chicago? Number ten? Dales?

486
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: What are they going to do?

487
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 9: Oh?

488
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 12: Your guest is as good as mine. Listen, they got

489
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 12: seven picks. They've got four through seventy two, so they've

490
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 12: got a first, two seconds and a third and at

491
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 12: number ten. It's going to be interesting because it's been

492
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 12: from my knowledge, very interactive right with the new head coach,

493
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 12: Ben Johnson, his new defensive coordinator, Dennis Allen, and Ryan Poulsen,

494
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 12: Ian Cunningham, the.

495
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 7: GM and the assistant GM.

496
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 12: So interactive that Dennis Allen actually talked today about how

497
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 12: Ryan Poles guys sat his group down, their group plus

498
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 12: his group, and they put up the board, the draft board,

499
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 12: so they have it assembled and kind of said, these

500
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 12: are the defensive players we like, and they went through

501
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 12: them and how those guys potentially will fit into this scheme.

502
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 12: And then, you know, just to take it a step further,

503
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 12: Decklan Doyle, the new offensive coordinator. We know Ben Johnson's

504
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 12: going to call the plays, but he discussed how the

505
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 12: standard has been so highly raised already in the building

506
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 12: by Ben Johnson. So what that tells me is these

507
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 12: new draftees have to have a standard. And so when

508
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 12: you're looking and staring down that number ten pick, if

509
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 12: you are the Chicago Bears, I fully expect them to

510
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 12: use it. I don't perhaps you know, they could move up,

511
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 12: perhaps they could move down a little bit, but that's

512
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 12: a golden.

513
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 7: Pick, and it wouldn't put I wouldn't put.

514
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 12: It past them if they don't go for let's say

515
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 12: a Will Campbell, the left tackle out of LSU to

516
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 12: go skill position once again with Ben Johnson's offense, and

517
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 12: it's all going to be about how.

518
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 7: This board falls for the Chicago Bears.

519
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 12: But if you're staring down, we just heard from great

520
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 12: interview with Oarmi and Hampton the running back, but there's

521
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 12: a lot of running backs that the Bears have looked at.

522
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 12: Ashton Genty right there at ten guys. When I spend

523
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 12: time with him at the combine, this is an old soul.

524
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 12: It feels like he's played in the NFL his personality

525
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 12: for ten years. Baldy, Like, that's how impressive and mature

526
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 12: this young man is. We know what he can do, contact,

527
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 12: balance extraordinary, yards after catch extraordinary.

528
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 7: And then I'm staring down Tyler Warren Baldi.

529
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 12: I mean, the guy was a left handed quarterback in

530
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 12: high school and he does.

531
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 7: Everything on the field.

532
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 12: When I talked to him at the combine and he

533
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 12: basically said to me, like learning offensively at the tight

534
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 12: end position is like a big picture for him because

535
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 12: he played quarterback, and so it's going to be super

536
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 12: interesting to see what the Bears do there at number ten.

537
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 9: They would be like new monsters in Chicago. I mean

538
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 9: both those guys. First of all, Ashton gen gis the

539
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 9: biggest biceps on a running back I've ever.

540
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: Seen in my life.

541
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 9: Like, I mean, everybody who's going to get like muscled

542
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 9: up just to try and be like I mean, they

543
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 9: would be two great picks. I mean, they're very talented players,

544
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 9: but I feel like there's still a real hole opposite

545
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 9: Montese Sweat on the defensive line Stacy, and this is

546
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 9: a deep draft, you know for defense line you're out

547
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 9: there at the combine. I was at the Senior Bowl

548
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 9: watching these guys, like Mike kel Williams was on a

549
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 9: path to be in the top ten. Kick now he

550
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 9: got a high ankle spraying Week one against Clemson. He

551
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 9: played through it, but he wasn't really the same guy

552
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 9: that we saw the year before. But I feel like, uh,

553
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 9: Montes and Michel would be That'd be a good alliteration

554
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 9: Montez and Michael out here, you know for the Bears

555
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 9: building his defense you know where you know a soldier field,

556
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 9: it's about defense.

557
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: A lot of Sundays.

558
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 9: I feel like this could be a good draft to

559
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 9: address it in a real need with that tenth pick

560
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 9: as well.

561
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: You got a pretty good track record on the Lions

562
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: at this point, Stacy Dan Campbell Brad Holmes going into

563
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: another draft together, What do you expect from them at

564
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight and beyond?

565
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I love mikel by the way. I love that guy.

566
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 12: I want to sit in the draft room with the

567
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 12: Detroit Lions. I don't care if they pick late all

568
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 12: the time, because they're good. They are fascinating. Brad Holmes

569
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 12: is the wild card, right. You just don't know what you're.

570
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 7: Getting with him.

571
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 12: He spoke today, he is so unpredictable in the draft,

572
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 12: and I wanted to put together the whiteboard because I

573
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 12: just you got to get creative a week out from

574
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 12: the draft, and so I put together the whiteboard just

575
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 12: to show you what he's done and remind you what

576
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 12: he's done in the first round of the NFL Draft

577
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 12: in his era. Right in twenty one, they're sitting at seven,

578
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 12: He's like, I gotta have Pine Sewel.

579
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 7: So he goes and gets him right away. I mean

580
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 7: that was his.

581
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 12: First year, right, So you got to get the best

582
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 12: player available right there, and that's what he does. He

583
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 12: hates it if you ask him, are you going to

584
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 12: draft this position of need?

585
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: Like?

586
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 12: That's not his style, but he falls in love with players.

587
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 12: In twenty twenty two, right eight, Hutchins is sitting there

588
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 12: at number two, take him right, but instead of using

589
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 12: the thirty second pick, so they were going to have

590
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 12: to wait all the way to the end of the

591
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 12: first round. They love Jamison Williams, the wide receiver, despite

592
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 12: that injury coming into the pros.

593
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 7: They moved all the way.

594
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 12: Up to twelve and did some nifty trade work to

595
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 12: get him at number twelve, and that was massive, and

596
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 12: they targeted him. Brad Holmes said that today they wanted

597
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 12: him so badly they moved up that much.

598
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty three, here's where it gets interesting.

599
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 12: They're sitting there at number six, right, We've seen him

600
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 12: take sewell, we've seen him take hutch and now they

601
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 12: moved down instead of using the six pick overall, they

602
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 12: moved down and get Gibbie and then at eighteen they

603
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 12: stay right there. They get Jack Campbell, the linebacker, and

604
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 12: then in twenty twenty four, another twenty ninth later pick,

605
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 12: and they love Terry On Arnold, Bradholms said today. We

606
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 12: had an affinity for him. We saw him play as

607
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 12: a starter last year at his rookie campaign. He's going

608
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 12: to be a hell of a player. They move up

609
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 12: to twenty four to get him. What is my point?

610
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 12: What are they going to do at twenty eighth overall

611
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 12: in this draft?

612
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 7: They've got seven picks. They could do anything.

613
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 12: And I want to sit in that draft room with

614
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 12: the Detroit Lions because Brad Holmes, it starts with him,

615
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 12: and he's a master at it.

616
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: He is.

617
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: He's very good, very talented. Stacy, good job there.

618
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 9: But you know, the last time we saw the line

619
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 9: and play Stacy, they scored thirty one points on offense

620
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 9: with a lot of the guys you just described. They

621
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 9: lost by two touchdowns to the Washington Commanders.

622
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: They put it.

623
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 9: They have forty five points that day, and they've got

624
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 9: issues on defense. Now, obviously they lose Aiden Hutchinson the

625
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 9: fifth game, they lose Marcus Davenport in the second game.

626
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 9: Zadaria Smith comes in, he's already gone. They've got need

627
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 9: a pass rusher. We think Aiden Hutchon we'll be back.

628
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 9: We don't know what you're going to get from Marcus

629
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 9: Davenport because he has a strong injury history. This is

630
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 9: a deep draft for defensive line. We have discussed that earlier.

631
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 9: Like I just think of a guy like Mike Green

632
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 9: was still there and you played him opposite of Hutching

633
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 9: what they have inside right now that could start to

634
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 9: rebuild their defense. I think they've got to do it

635
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 9: with a young player, and I know he's going to

636
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 9: draft the best player available and all that's which is true.

637
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: If Mike Green is hanging around there.

638
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 9: Like, I just don't know that they could pass him

639
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 9: up with his ability to turn the corner bend and

640
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 9: get to the quarterback like he did at Marshall this

641
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 9: past season.

642
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: Baldi, Stacy, thank you very much.

643
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: A lot more from the two of you in the

644
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: one week remaining until the NFL Draft. Right now, take

645
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: a sneak peek at our new content series where Brock

646
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: Purty and Daniel Jeremiah breakdown Shador Sanders and other NFL

647
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: draft prospects, all with the help of Toyota. Be sure

648
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: to check out going places presented by Toyota on DJ's

649
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: social accounts at Move the Sticks.

650
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 13: Obviously, the expectations that he's had, you know, throughout his

651
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 13: college career and then taking Colorado to new heights like that.

652
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 13: You know, that's not easy. The knock is a little

653
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 13: bit of the arm strength, and then you know, holding

654
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 13: the ball took a lot of sacks with my experience

655
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 13: of playing, Like if I can show my guys you

656
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 13: know that I can get hit and then keep going,

657
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 13: that just shows a lot about you know, your leadership

658
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 13: and just being able to learn to get the ball

659
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 13: out play within the timing of the offense and concepts.

660
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 13: I think those are things that he has and will

661
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 13: continue to learn and development.

662
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: Ward back of the ends for a touchdown.

663
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 14: I guess so, mister rival in space to the pot

664
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 14: on touchdown.

665
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: War another one on one.

666
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 14: Drops it over the shutter, throws into the ends Todd

667
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 14: ten yard line.

668
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 8: Ward's gonna take off diving touchdown.

669
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 14: Cam Ward, there's the wheels.

670
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 5: So many mock draft creators probably can get the first

671
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 5: one right, as our Mark Cross almost certainly does. Cam

672
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 5: Ward likely going one to the Tennessee Titans. Mark Cross

673
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 5: unveils his first and only mock draft. We'll see if

674
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: he got the other thirty one picks right. If only

675
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 5: there was so many we could talk about it with.

676
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: And he shows up.

677
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 5: Mark, Welcome inside with the insiders. Let's go over your

678
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 5: first and only mock draft of this draft season. Three

679
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 5: quarterbacks going in the top ten. Obviously Cam out of surprise,

680
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 5: take me through the other two.

681
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: What went into that decision?

682
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, Cam's and no brainer at one, the only player,

683
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 14: in my opinion, can transform a franchise. Now let's get

684
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 14: to number six with Shador Sanders and people say, well,

685
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 14: they just drafted have it just traded for Gino Smith?

686
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: Well, there's precedent for this.

687
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 14: Pete Carroll on twenty twelve had a big free agent

688
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 14: signing from the Green Bay Packers Matt Flynn. Yes, that

689
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 14: was a thing back then, but that same year drafted

690
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 14: Russell Wilson in the third round, who eventually became that

691
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 14: Russell Wilson. Well, so now you've got Gino, let's double

692
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 14: down and take Shador as our future quarterback. And also,

693
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 14: let's not forget Tom Brady, the minority owner is there

694
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 14: who has an extensive relationship with Shador and Dion that

695
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 14: cannot be discounted his presence there. Now we get to

696
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 14: number nine with Jackson Dart with the Saints and of

697
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 14: course the.

698
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: Derek car injury there.

699
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 14: They drafted Spencer Rattler last year but showed some flashes,

700
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 14: but really doesn't seem to be the quarterback of the future.

701
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 14: Head coach Kellen Moore just came off the Super Bowl

702
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 14: with Billy who showed the ability to double down. Had

703
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 14: Carson Wentz drafted Jalen Hurts, now he's a Super Bowl MVP.

704
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 14: So now Kellen Moore putting his own stamp on the

705
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 14: Saints by drafting Jackson Dart.

706
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: You say, is that a little bit too high?

707
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 14: But we always see quarterback desperation in these drafts.

708
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 6: Let's look at picks two and three together. Today we

709
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 6: heard Brown's general manager Andrew Berry. He compared Travis Hunter

710
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 6: to show, hey, o'tani, you have the Browns going though

711
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 6: with Abdul Carter and the Giants taking Travis Hunter and

712
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 6: not taking a quarterback. Take me through both of those decisions.

713
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 14: Well, look, Judy, as you know, I'm Perry Miles Garrett.

714
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 14: Without Duel Carter, it's a giant success. And that's what

715
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 14: we were border rays on the two Super Bowls. All

716
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 14: those guys up front, you go get it and everything

717
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 14: else stems from there. So I just cannot imagine a

718
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 14: world where the Browns are not looking at Miles Garrett

719
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 14: and looking at Dull Carter and say, we.

720
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: Have to get these two.

721
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 14: Guys together to terrorize Joe Burrow and Lebar Jackson in

722
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 14: that division. And then it always seemed like, well, now

723
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 14: the Giants get the leftovers, and Travis Hunter's a heck

724
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 14: of a left over there to have if you get him,

725
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 14: and that I think he can help the Giants even

726
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 14: more so on the offensive side of the ball, pairing

727
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 14: him with elite neighbors and then spot play on defense.

728
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 14: And I shot away from giving them Shador Sanders there

729
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 14: because I just have real apprehension that the Giants ownership

730
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 14: in front office really want to take on that personality

731
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 14: and everything that comes with Shador Sanders in the building.

732
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 5: I was going to move on to the Jets pick

733
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 5: at number seven for Ashton Genty, which I want you

734
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 5: to explain, but first, just give me a little more

735
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 5: Giants for a second. Do you see them coming back

736
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 5: in at the back half of one and taking a quarterback.

737
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 14: Well, you know, Joe Shane did say he's comfortable, but

738
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 14: you know, everything's possible. They have to be looking at

739
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 14: all these quarterback extensively and knowing like, okay, Russ and

740
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 14: Jamis may just be one year, stop gaps. Is there

741
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 14: somebody there? It has to be the right person. It

742
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 14: can't just be a philosophy. If we got to get

743
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 14: a guy, it still has to be the right person,

744
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 14: the right quarterback that they feel can take the franchise

745
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 14: to another level.

746
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: All right, we know what what about gent to the Jets?

747
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: Take me through that genty to the Jets?

748
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 14: Back to genty with the Jets and working with new

749
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 14: head coaches, they always feel comfortable about where they were

750
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 14: before Philly. We got Andy Reid. He'd liked to do

751
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 14: things the way the Packers did it. So here is

752
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 14: Aaron Glenn. He was in Detroit. Of course, you know

753
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 14: they had the two headed monster. They're a thunder and

754
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 14: lightning of David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs. So now he's saying, look,

755
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 14: I've already had Breeze Hall, but let's get bashing genty

756
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 14: in here. Even Allen that they also have a three

757
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 14: headed monster to go with justin fields. Now you've got

758
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 14: four runners there.

759
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 3: We're going to play solid defense. But we want to.

760
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 14: Pound the ball with our running quarterback and now a

761
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 14: dynamic backfield of a lot of dudes who.

762
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: Can take these snaps. Genty, you break the game open.

763
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 3: You are the guys.

764
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 14: You do your specialty runs here to bring what you

765
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 14: have to the offense. So I think that was the

766
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 14: thinking there, Aaron Glenn knowing how they had success in

767
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 14: Detroit bringing that to New York.

768
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 6: Last one for me, Mark, you only do one mock draft.

769
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 6: What was the hardest team to nail down when you

770
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 6: were doing this?

771
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 3: Oh wow? So and I mentioned this in my article.

772
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 14: When I was part of our groups there, we never

773
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 14: did mock drafts in our draft room. We just talked

774
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 14: about the groups of players who would be there before

775
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 14: we picked, and you kind of just count the numbers there.

776
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 3: But I mean, there's a lot dudy.

777
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 14: Even at two and three, just trying to figure out

778
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 14: what Cleveland's going to do. I know, we're really boiling

779
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 14: it down to these two but Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter.

780
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 14: But a lot of times you don't see a lot

781
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 14: of smoke with a team. They may go another direction.

782
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 14: So could Shador Sanders really still be in play for Cleveland?

783
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 14: Because no one's really been associating Chador Sanders with Cleveland.

784
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 14: So you know, overall, it's it's really a fun exercise

785
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 14: to talk through.

786
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: And it's all easy, Judy.

787
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 14: Just give a team, give a player to a team,

788
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 14: and next thing, you know, who cares.

789
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: I don't have to be responsible for it.

790
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 5: Say what if Schadoor Sanders goes two to the Browns,

791
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 5: that is going to ruin all of the mock drafts,

792
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 5: including yours. But otherwise we'll expect thirty two of thirty

793
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 5: two all correct.

794
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: Mark, Thank you very much for joining us.

795
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,800

Speaker 13: He's going to be electric, and everybody's gonna know.

807
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 9: His name's so good with the ball in his hands.

808
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: He really hasn't him yet be in the combine.

Speaker 12: Best players in the country by position, one after another.

810
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 13: And you gotta put in the time, you gotta put

811
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 13: in the work.

812
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,560

Speaker 5: All right, Tom, That's enough for you can't let you

831
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 5: lead a segment where you wrote the article. So let's

832
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 5: go over your five potential first round surprises. I read

833
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 5: the whole article from the top all the way to

834
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 5: the bottom, so I already know what you're gonna say.

835
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 5: But spot now, I really didn't, but I almost did.

836
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 5: I got almost down to the bottom. Give me your

837
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 5: favorite first round surprise.

838
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: The name that's come up the most is Carson Schwessinger,

839
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: the linebacker from UCLA.

840
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 2: Friend of the show.

841
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: He came on The Insiders a couple of weeks ago.

842
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 13: Here.

843
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: This guy was a walk on at UCLA. Last year

844
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: was the first time he'd even been a starter, but

845
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: he was a butt Kiss Award finalist.

846
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: He was one of the best and most.

847
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: Productive linebackers in the entire country. He can run, he

848
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: and covering, and play all three downs. He is not

849
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: a versatile edge rusher type like Jihad Campbell. There's a

850
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: bunch of teams now at the bottom of the first round,

851
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: Judy that all need off the ball. Linebacker Schwestinger could

852
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: fill a hole.

853
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 6: My surprise pick is actually also on Tom's list, Shuck,

854
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 6: the quarterback from Louisville. I think it's inevitable with so

855
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 6: many teams needing quarterbacks that there's going to be a push,

856
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 6: especially at the bottom of the round. Could teams start

857
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 6: to come back into the bottom of the first round.

858
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: I think Tyler Schuck.

859
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 6: Is going to be well positioned. He was really productive.

860
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 6: He's a little bit older, injury questions, injury history to

861
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 6: be concerned about, but again, I think there is such

862
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 6: a desperate need for quarterbacks, we're going to see him.

863
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 5: He's a lot older, but we call that experience and

864
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 5: I would agree with both of you guys on your

865
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 5: picks as you should agree with my pick. Ariance Urseri,

866
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 5: the Minnesota tackle right in Tom's backyard, didn't even put

867
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 5: him on his list. This is a guy that I

868
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 5: know teams like a lot more than the media knows.

869
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 5: You look late in the first round and figure out

870
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 5: who would maybe need to tackle. A team like the

871
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 5: Knnes City Chiefs come to mind. He is talented, he

872
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 5: is athletic. Maybe a little wrong, but this is a

873
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: guy the team's really like. I believe, potentially, maybe theoretically,

874
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 5: that he could go in the first round.

875
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: I've gotten burned before by people telling me the Chiefs

876
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: are definitely taking that offensive lineman at the bottom of

877
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: the first and then they just go and find another

878
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,959
Speaker 1: guy who runs four too. Coming up on this show,

879
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: the Rams always have a unique location for their draft picks.

880
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: This season is definitely no exception.

881
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 2: We'll explain next.

882
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: On The Insiders, the Rams are making history by becoming

883
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: the first team to take their draft operations to a

884
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: fire station when they draft from the Los Angeles Fire

885
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: Department Air Operations, showcasing their commitment to first responders after

886
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: all they did to protect the city during the Stay

887
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: wildfires in January. Very cool from the La Rams. We

888
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: are one week out from the NFL Draft, yet all

889
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: I have on my mind, and in the final segment

890
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: is going back to when you texted that girl to

891
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: break up with her. You met your wife, Leah in

892
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and six according to the Internet, so presumably

893
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: this was before that. Did you break up by texting

894
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: on a flip phone? Did you have to do the

895
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: T nine thing where you have to hit the number

896
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: two three times to get an F that I hadn't

897
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: have taken a while?

898
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, let me explain since we have a lot

899
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 5: of time left in the show. So basically, what you

900
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 5: do You're the phone down, so you would start to

901
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 5: hit the number
