1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast was the pick in the draft?

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: My name is Dan ANSAs. Come to you from a

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: virtual room filled with some heroes. Mark Sessler, right Rosenthal. Yes,

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: the first round of the two thousand one NFL Draft

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: is in the books and storylines galore. Boys in a

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: draft that included five quarterbacks, uh, entering the league three

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: in the first three picks. And then this this simmering drama. Uh,

9
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: just the stage left surrounding Aaron Rodgers, which came out

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of nowhere or did it? So that is kind of

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: setting the table here for you boys. How's everybody feeling?

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: We're taping after nine o'clock on the Pacific time zone here,

13
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: but it's late. But I feel good. I had a

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: red Bull and I'm feeling good. I was like, should

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: I have some, you know, some green tea or something

16
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: before going? But no, Uh, just like the energy from

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: the Jason oh Way pick at thirty one just has

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: me flying and ready to do this podcast. Watch out

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: for that herbal green tea. Greg, you know you've become

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: more daring in your advancing age. I just I don't

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: know too many men that could hang with a green

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: tea at nine pm West Coast time. I thought it

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: was actually what I loved about the first round is

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't completely sort of paint by numbers. There were

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: twists and turns and um, I'm maybe not as excited

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: about the Aaron Rodgers um manufactured drama as others, but

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: we can get into it is crazy though. It's Draft

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: day and like before we even got to the draft,

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: by far, the biggest news story of the off season hit.

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: It's you know, to me, it's much bigger than anything

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 1: that happened during the draft. I thought, you know, maybe

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: it's going to affect the draft. It started to remind

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: me of Tooth and five, Like the the whole draft

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: day was like centered around Aaron Rodgers in his desire

35
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: to go to San Francisco. On that day, you know,

36
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: the forty Niners didn't take him. He sits around, uh

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: and here he is again this time the forty Niners

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: did wat him. I mean, crazy stuff was happening in

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: terms of the forty Niners owner tweeting and some of

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: the some of the sources where Rogers just like sprays

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: all these sources all over the media that that like

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: overwhelmed everything to me that happened on Draft night. But

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: then once it started, you kind of realized Rogers was

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: not going to get his wish tonight. When when the

45
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: Broncos took a corner back, that was kind of the

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: moment I was just like, m I guess this is

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: not gonna happen for it was. It's both manufactured, as

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Mark puts it, and also very real. The manufactured part

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: to me is the timing of it that we're well, actually,

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: let's let's let's just for people or maybe using this

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: podcast to get caught up and know exactly what's going on. Uh.

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: The situation that occurs, uh this morning or late or

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: early this afternoon on the West coast anyway, is reports

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: start popping up about the forty Niners checking in on

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: the availability of Aaron Rodgers and he's not going anywhere.

56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: And then the insiders start popping up with information and

57
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: Ian comes on NFL Network and explains that this kind

58
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: of started. This has been simmering since Jordan's Loves Pick

59
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: last April. Not a surprise there that it was still simmering.

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: And then when the Packers came to him after his

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: MVP season and wanted to rework his contract and move

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: some money around and create cap space. That triggered a

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: real breakdown on the relationship. According to Raps, you here's

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: what he's got. Rogers, I'm told, did not want that.

65
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: He wanted a real contract extension. He wanted the team

66
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: to commit to him long term, which they as at

67
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: that point, had not yet been willing to do. His agent,

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: Dave Donn, flew to Green Bay, had endless meetings with Rogers.

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: His frustration looked palpable. Several teams started calling the Green

70
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Bay Packers kind of getting a sense that things weren't right,

71
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: trying to maybe trade for him to see if there

72
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: was interest. The Packers have remained steadfast. They have no

73
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: plans to trade Aaron Rodgers. That is only going to

74
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: ramp up as this continues, so we will see where

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: this ends. But things are not in a good place.

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: And then, of course with the twenty ninth overall picked

77
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: the Packers like Eric Stokes, a cornerback with a lot

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: of upside from Georgia, feeding into this narrative that the

79
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Packers were almost trolling Rodgers by not adding more offense.

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: But at the same time and Gregor I think you

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: tweeted about it. It's like, it's not like the Packers

82
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: are starving for help on offense right now. They were

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: the best offense in the league last season. Yeah. Yeah,

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: this is a long running frustration for me. They have

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: two potential Hall of Fame candidates and Davante Adams and

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: David Baktier on the team with him, and you're telling

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: me that they don't have talent around him. They're the

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: number one scoring offense, they're Aaron Jones. The part that

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: I think registers with Aaron Rodgers, I don't think he

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: cares that much. If they took a receiver twenty ninth,

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: they're not. It's that day he took Jordan's love and

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: that he took that as a personal slight and he

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: clear really hasn't let go of that. That The crazy

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: part to me is, you know what Ian said was

95
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: you know, kind of measured, and eventually he did say

96
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: that the Packers, you know, try to give him a

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: contract extension, and you gotta think, at some point, isn't

98
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: there going to be at a number that is enough

99
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: to make this go away. We'll we'll find out. But

100
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: there were other reports, I mean, ESPN said, he told

101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: people he does not want to play for the team

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: anymore period. Trey Wingo said that the Packers told him

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: that they look to trade him um and that they

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: he feels like that they didn't they aren't really following

105
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: through with that. And meanwhile, like Iron Rodgers agent and

106
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: the brass of the Packers are meeting all this while.

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: So it's it's wild. But here's the reality. The Rogers

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: has no leverage right now. I don't believe. I mean,

109
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: he can withhold the services, but the odds on him

110
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: being on another team for the twenty one season seems

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: slim to none to me, unless unless the because what

112
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: could the Broncos possibly give him that would be attractive

113
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: next year's picks? If you want to give me the

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: next year's picks, just wait till next year. Let's see.

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: If you sit out the year, I'll take your picks

116
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: in January. He'll be popular then too. I mean it,

117
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: there was one part of this. What that was mismanaged,

118
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: if it was manufactured, was the timing. I mean, to me,

119
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: I found it absurd that the Broncos, who had, you know,

120
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: gone in with their full draft plans, are finding out

121
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: or learning about this Roger's situation, you know, this close

122
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 1: to the draft, I mean there's no lead up time

123
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: for front offices who have essentially sealed up what they're

124
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna do for the most part, to act and like

125
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, um, you know, are the

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: are the Packers excited to absorb like thirty eight million

127
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: and dead cat money to move in unhappy Rogers. I mean,

128
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It becomes cliche to say they don't

129
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: draft a wide receiver, and I don't. I'm with you

130
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: that look at you through forty eight touchdowns last year.

131
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, their offense is not broken, there's no drastic,

132
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: glaring void. But they've drafted one skill position player on

133
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: offense since two thousand and five in the first round.

134
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: And it's too ward in love and Greg, I see

135
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: you smiling, but it's like that is a lack of

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: support to some degree. I would also say that they

137
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: have not done a great job if you're spending all

138
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: those picks on defense of building up a monster defense either.

139
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: So they have just not been that successful. But where's

140
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: the team that's closer to the Super Bowl. That's the

141
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: thing is like that it's not like you can get

142
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: closer to the super Bowl than they were. Well, I

143
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: don't see a destination spot. That's sort of why this

144
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: thing to me feels like, you know, it's perfect for

145
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: um to set the table with a high strung drama,

146
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: but it meant to me it's like, what's the end result?

147
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Because it's, you know, to the day from a year

148
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: ago when we were spending all night talking about Aaron

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers feelings, and a year later we're

150
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: doing the same thing again, tiresome, Well, we're going to

151
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: get a special Sessla tonight. I could feel it. No,

152
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I my does everyone else find him enjoyable? I find

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: it's just like, why do you need to dominate the

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: news cycle today in something that you clearly created through

155
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: your mouthpieces? They were trying to they were trying to

156
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: pressure them publicly because privately wasn't working. So I tend

157
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: to believe the Broncos and these other teams had some

158
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, certainly knew about this and we're talking before this.

159
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: The thing that I don't understand is guys in Denver

160
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: who were saying that this deal worth close, like Mark

161
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Slayreth reported, you know, so Slareth who was a former

162
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Broncho and is on the radio used to be on

163
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: ESPN reported that it was all but a done deal

164
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: right before the draft, and that got Broncos nations really excited.

165
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe maybe everybodys um Yes, well Rogers

166
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: is that this is there's a handful of players in

167
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: every generation that invoked this level of interest. And the

168
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: fact that he was the centerpiece of this drama last year.

169
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: Then okay, and now this comes up again that that

170
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: has that has added more zest to this. So while

171
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from, Mark, it's it's a

172
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: big story. I mean, it's and it's something. I'm not

173
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: trying to push it out of the way. I'm not

174
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: trying to push it out of the way. I look

175
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: at here's the thing about the draft. I mean the

176
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: film Gandhi, which is too slow for people, is three

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: hours in like eleven minutes long. The draft we're back

178
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: to like four hours and nine minutes. And we're gonna

179
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: get you right. You know, if we get you right

180
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: it on draft night, then let's not you know, Dan's

181
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: you know, draft in forty makes a lot of sense

182
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: because it is a slow draw nothing And now I'm

183
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: not trying to rain on the parade. It's a fun night.

184
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: But it's been a long watching TV. You're a little

185
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: burnt out, so you're angry right now. That's what that's

186
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: where this is. He was on Clubhouse earlier. You know, no,

187
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not angry. I just I don't think

188
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: that how many people would argue that it is fascinating television,

189
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: This is a story for another subject A lot mark.

190
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we're we're a lot of them are listening now,

191
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: and I know the draft is all right, Well, I

192
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: am an incorrect voice from the distance. Perhaps I don't.

193
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Before we meet everyone's agree with me. But before we

194
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: move on from Rogers, there were just a couple of details.

195
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: I think we're important, by the way, as much because

196
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: you've got a bunch of people in suits from the

197
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: third floor saying Greg is so Greg really gets the draft,

198
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: He's compliant. Why is who's this other cranky clown? I

199
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: genuinely love this Rogers stuff, and that you know the

200
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: draft is separate because it's it's it's fascinating because first

201
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: of all, it's like it's it's the far thing all

202
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,119
Speaker 1: over again. I mean, it's it's really kind of crazy,

203
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: but the personal animosity and and Dan hit on this

204
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: last year. I do think it's funny because the Jordan's

205
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Love pick, you know, you hate to it's not like

206
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers tried harder, but you gotta give that something,

207
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, you know, some of the credit of like

208
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: why he won the m v P if you really

209
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: want to get crazy. But it really seems like there's

210
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: major h antipathy between Rogers and Gouda Kunt specifically. And

211
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,479
Speaker 1: the most interesting part of all this today was Glazer

212
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: saying to me that, Matt, what is this there? Oh?

213
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: This is Goodies theme song baby? Oh yeah, I forgot

214
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: this go ahead And no, I mean this part, I like,

215
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember it being like such such a flow. Yeah,

216
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: I know, this is the long version. Matt Lafleur, according

217
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: to Jay Glazer, did not know that they were taking

218
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love before they took it, and that the whole

219
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: that whole story is fascinating to me. Number One, La

220
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Fleur is putting that out there through Glazer. That's it.

221
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: That's interesting. It it gets to a schism, it gets

222
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: to La Fleur almost trying to say, hey, I'm on

223
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers's side, and uh, if you read what if

224
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: you hear what Ian said, it really feels like Rogers

225
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: does not like Gooda cuns And I thought, like, this

226
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: is where you need an owner. They don't have an owner.

227
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: Like if I was an owner, I'd be talking to

228
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Brian Gooda cons right about it. And by the way,

229
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: shareholder meetings, how old did those go? Things haven't too

230
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: well in the championship game in the NFC the last

231
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: two years, but with good kunst uh pulling the lever

232
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: on moves, they've gone thirteen and three and back to

233
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: back years and they're they're doing a lot of things

234
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: right in that building. So yes, in terms of like

235
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: how much you want to feel for Aaron Rodgers position,

236
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: I can't really get that. I'm not with you on that.

237
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Um if there are people that feel like he's been

238
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: wronged uh in this situation. But at the same time

239
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: you get it. It's like you've drafted my replacement. I

240
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: win m v P and when you want to come

241
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: to the table to do business with me, it's to

242
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: help you out and make cap space room. Instead of saying,

243
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: you know what, we blew it. We should have never

244
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: doubted you. Here's a contract extension to keep you here forever.

245
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: It's we we have plenty of time to talk about

246
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: and we and we will. And since then they have

247
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: they have offered an extension. You would you would think

248
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: there's there's gotta be just like a price that is enough.

249
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: But if not, he could just dig in. It was

250
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: funny Ian's throwing out the jeopardy stuff. Um, it's nothing

251
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: else that knocked Tim Tebow out of the headlines. Tim

252
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Tebo Mason. Maybe that's what got me going early in

253
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: the day that that is back in our hemisphere, Tim

254
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Tebow subplots. I mean, which is you know, I've got

255
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: some PTSD associated with that, so does Dan. All right,

256
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: So the San Francisco forty Niners, uh, kicking all that off.

257
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: The report was that they connected with the Packers. Hey

258
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: is Rogers on the block? He was not, at least

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: not right now. So the Niners with a third overall pick.

260
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: This is the first flash point of the draft. Trevor

261
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence goes number one, Zack Wilson goes number two. And

262
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: by the way, I have ordered my Zach Wilson Chipotle burrito.

263
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: It's being delivered as we speak and it will be

264
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: brought right to me when the time comes. I'm very

265
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: excited to have that brito in my hands, just like

266
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited that the Jets have yet another crack at

267
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. Hopefully the young man at a b

268
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: y U. The third pick, Trey Lance goes to the

269
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: forty niners. So the Mac Jones and someone explained this

270
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: to me hashtag like I'm five. A lot of Twitter

271
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: was about, Hey, that is one of the better smoke

272
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: screens I've seen in some time. But I don't understand

273
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: that because I know Mac Jones was where everyone was

274
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: saying that it was going to happen, and then and

275
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: then it was Mac Jones or Trade Lance. But what

276
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: was the smoke screen for if there was no one

277
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: to outsmart in front of them? The Jets are always

278
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna take Zach Wilson, the Jacks are always gonna take

279
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Law. So is the smoke screen simply on the media,

280
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: And if so, what's the point. I think it's utter not.

281
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: I think we've I think we brought this up at

282
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: least on the show once before that, like look at

283
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: they would They did everything they did to get to

284
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: number three to remove any sense of you know, disquiet

285
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: or unknown for who they want to pick. They know

286
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: those two quarterbacks are off the board. Who are they fooling?

287
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: To me, it just felt kind of baked into, Hey,

288
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: this is a big production, and we don't want to

289
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: We're not gonna shed secrets. It's smoke screen the viewer

290
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: and the analyst. The idea that you need to hide

291
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: anything from another team makes no sense logically. Yeah, I

292
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: think it was. It wasn't a smoke screen. I think

293
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: the reporting around them genuinely turned out to be wrong,

294
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: very possibly because the forty Niners changed their mind. I

295
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: mean that's what our reporting and NFL Network indicates that

296
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: essentially they were they they didn't know who they were

297
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna take. They thought they were gonna take Mac Jones,

298
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: that that was Kyle Sanahan's guy, and if you read

299
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: between the lines, not even between lines, he and basically

300
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: said that that the front office was pushing for Trey Lance.

301
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: And as Kyle Sanahan went to these workouts and I

302
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: think most importantly talked to Trey Lance more and more,

303
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: that he key ended up becoming convinced that that that

304
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: was the decision. Because the one thing you keep hearing

305
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: about Lance. Not only is he probably the most physically

306
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: gifted just just in terms of athleticism and arm strength,

307
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: even though he has virtually no production. I mean it's

308
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: four dropbacks in his career. Um is that like he's

309
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: probably the one guy who comes off maybe as the

310
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: as like the smartest and the guy that like you

311
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: love him in the room and maybe over time they

312
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: just sort of fell in love with it. Sounds like

313
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: they'll never throw an incompletion. He's the most physically talented

314
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: and the smartest men alive. But but he's got to

315
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: be one of the biggest risks of all time. He

316
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: he dropped you dropped back three times in his career.

317
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: They've barely ever seen him play, and it was that

318
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: it was in North Dakota State. It was a lot

319
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: to give up by the Niners to essentially move up

320
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: to take this level of a chance. But if he

321
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: hits the ground running, and who knows when that happens,

322
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: because as of right now, Jimmy g still in the building. Uh.

323
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: If he hits the ground running and he's a star,

324
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: it's going to you know, Cement Lynch and Shanahan there

325
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: for a long long time. But if this goes off

326
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: the rails and they kind of messed up their future

327
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: with the draft, uh to get a guy that couldn't

328
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: play this, it's gonna be catastrophic. It's it's a huge

329
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: moment for them. Then it's then you're put into the

330
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: same category as a Mitch Robinsky type of trade up,

331
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: except even more expensive. So yeah, mean there is high

332
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: risk reward. I mean they talk about the last ten

333
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, Um, every one of them had

334
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: twelve hundred attempts in college. I mean there are front

335
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: offices out there that would rule out quarterbacks that don't

336
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: have a certain amount of proven production at a big

337
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: college level. Other front officers do it differently, and we

338
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: know Shanahan does it differently. I mean I'd come away

339
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: a little concern with you know, whispers and flat out

340
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: just comments that the front office and Shanahan and all

341
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: of them just were not on the same page, that

342
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: they had no idea what was going on. Um that said,

343
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: if you're Shanahan or if you ever any of those people,

344
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: you're in a building with an almost Belichickian type leader

345
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: in Shanahan who is basically calling the shots and um,

346
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: if it works, he looks like a genius. If it doesn't,

347
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: they'll probably still call him a genius. I I seems

348
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: like I love him, but he seems a little teff

349
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: lonish too. He's got to win with this quarterback sooner

350
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: than I think would cost him. Though, if sure, I

351
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: think this didn't work out, he has been a little

352
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: taff and I think they have one winning season in

353
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: seven years. He hasn't been there that whole time. But um,

354
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: this has to work. This has to work, just like

355
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: it has to work for the Jets move that they

356
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: made going up to get Zack Wilson or trading Donald

357
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: to get Zack Wilson. These are important franchise defining type.

358
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Grafticks This exciting though. It's exciting to see your boy

359
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanni and get someone. So you kind of feel

360
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: like Shanahani will make them bust proof. I mean, if

361
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: if if Mullins can put up those stats, then you

362
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of figure like, well, what's what's the worst lance

363
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: could be? Is maybe average? I mean you would help.

364
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: You would think just because their offense is so good.

365
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: They have Trent Williams at left tackle, they have I

366
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: you can Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. I mean, it

367
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: is an amazing situation. So just as a football fan,

368
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see such like an athletic guy in

369
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: Shanahan system instead of Mac Jones. Then again, I'm gonna

370
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: have to walk watch Mac Jones with the Patriots, so

371
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: maybe to that. We'll get to that in just a

372
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: little bit. So yeah, So Lawrence Wilson Lance then the

373
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: first seven players. By the way, this was a record

374
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: all offensive players. So Kyle Pitts, the tight end out

375
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: of Florida, becomes the highest drafted tight end in NFL

376
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: history going to the Falcons. Intrigue there, of course, especially

377
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: coming off a week where there are whispers about Julio

378
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: Jones future. That makes even more sense now knowing what

379
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: their intentions were to take this game changing. This guy

380
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: is entering the league with a level of hype that

381
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: few tight ends, uh match. So you have pits there.

382
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley has emerged as a star in his own right.

383
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: So Julio Jones, you don't want to you don't want

384
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: to say this, but he seems like someone that could

385
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: be moved without killing the offense, which you would have

386
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: never thought now we see if that actually happens and

387
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, man, that's one hell of a one

388
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: to three punch on that offense. Well, I would say

389
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: that Arthur Smith maybe I like him more than others,

390
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: but I think he's a severe upgrade over Dirk Cotter

391
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: in one. And on top of it, I mean when

392
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: it comes to Julio Jones, I just I don't think

393
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: that that would be out there if they didn't severely

394
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: need to restructure like the money they have, I don't

395
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: think you'd be looking to move them just to move him. Um.

396
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: So if he sticks around and you add Kyle Pitts

397
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: to this offense, like you've got something. I still think

398
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: they're a hot target to draft a running back, UM

399
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: earlier than later. It could be in this in round

400
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: two here, but they're not far away from having again, UM,

401
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: a very intriguing offense. Matt Ryan's had a nice offseason.

402
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: They basically guaranteed some money down the line that kept

403
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: them there. You add Kyle Pitts, I don't think their

404
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: defense is going to be good and so he could

405
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: be a fantasy guy like you could just set thirty

406
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: five to thirty three every week. Falcon It's like Matt

407
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: Ryan has all these skill players and you know they're

408
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: in a lot of like coming from behind situations and

409
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, this is perfect. Then you look

410
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: up and he has twenty seven touchdowns at the end

411
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: of the year. It's like, I think that like permanently

412
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: soiled your opinion. You got him after the m v

413
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: P year, I think, which I feel like he throws

414
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns and thirteen interceptions every year. I don't know,

415
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: don't check those stats. At the number five, Jamaar Chase,

416
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: the wide receiver from l s U reunites with Joe Burrow.

417
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: I have my thoughts on this that they should have

418
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: went and got Suel the offensive tackle from Oregon. But okay,

419
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean this, this this works too. But let's see

420
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: if they put some focus on the offensive line. I'll

421
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: do a couple here, and you guys could say whatever

422
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: you want on any of them. Jalen Waddle goes number

423
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: six to the Dolphins. Uh, the Alabama wide receiver. UH.

424
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: And that makes sense as well. I like the move

425
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: where you take the young quarterback and and connect him

426
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: to a lot of talent and see if he can

427
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: play well. Now you have Fuller and Parker and Waddle together.

428
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: That's a nice trio. And then as I met Penney Sewell,

429
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle out of Oregon, the top offensive linement

430
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: in the draft goes to the lines at number seven.

431
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: I just like the you know, and they made a

432
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: big deal out of this on television, but I wonder

433
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: if there's more thinking going into some of this too.

434
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: It's the talent of the player. But you get Jamaar

435
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: Chase paired back with his college quarterback. You get Jail

436
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: and Waddle paired with someone in two with it he knows.

437
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, maybe that doesn't matter, um, but what's

438
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: wrong with giving like your young quarterbacks someone that he's

439
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: worked with for a long period of time. There's chemistry,

440
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: is there? And I get what you're saying about picking

441
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: maybe Sewell um or it would have been Sewell over Chase,

442
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know. You know, you can a good

443
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: offensive line coach can do a lot for an offensive line.

444
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they have one, um, but they don't need, right,

445
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: but they have to. They do have. Like the thing

446
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: is like, if you look at their tackle situation, I

447
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: don't love it, but they have invested in their taxs.

448
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: We signed Riley Reef this offseason, which is slipped under

449
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: the radar. Riley Reefs been a starting tackle for a while.

450
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: He's not a huge difference maker, but he's been an

451
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: average starting tackle. And then they drafted Jonah Williams tent

452
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: over he has been, He's been okay. I I think

453
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: it's just thinking that Chase is really unique, like Bob

454
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: McGinn does that you know, Scouts pole and he was

455
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: the first unanimous, you know, wide receiver to get first

456
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: place votes from every single Scout since Calvin Johnson. And

457
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: so you're you're thinking, maybe if this guy's Alvin Johnson,

458
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: then Sewell is not as as unique. I was more

459
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: surprised that the Dolphins took Wattle over Sewell. I thought

460
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was going to be locked in and

461
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: they could have put Sewell, you know, and Austin Jackson

462
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: as their two tackles, and they took Waddle. And it's

463
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: very similar to last year how Rugs went ahead of

464
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: who am I forgetting here? Uh? Judy for Alabama like

465
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith won the Heisman Trophy and Waddle I who

466
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: I like more than Ruggs, who seems exciting um ends

467
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: up going ahead of Davanta Smith. Uh And yes, sewell,

468
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: you know that's a nice pick for the Lions who

469
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: are are no need, no rush here to make a

470
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: big splashes a team that's rebuilding, so you get a

471
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: guy there. Even if the Lions fans aren't gonna get

472
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: pumped up about it, that could be a great pick

473
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: for They could have taken Field, but they just they

474
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: just weren't in love with Justin Field. I kind of

475
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: think if they loved it, justin feel they would have

476
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: taken him. It wasn't about I can't imagine or one

477
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers because they are there, you know,

478
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: yeah Jared golfspin protected, but they're like you look at

479
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: the infrastructure of their offense and it's messy. Alright. So

480
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: the run on offensive players ends at number eight with

481
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers. And I talked about this on our last

482
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: podcast that Sam Donald, after twisting in the wind with

483
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: the Jets, was in that same position heading into Thursday

484
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: night again where you didn't know all this talk about

485
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: temper whether he was gonna make the big splash and

486
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: get the quarterback in the draft, and when Justin Fields

487
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: was still there and Mac Jones was still there. It

488
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, the Panthers are gonna do this, and

489
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tricky for the former USC star uh

490
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: and x New York Jet. But instead they select J. C. Horne,

491
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: cornerback out of South Carolina, and then the Broncos pick

492
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: next another team that you would think could use a

493
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: game changing prospect, a quarterback. I lost sandwiches on it. Yes, yes,

494
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: they have drew locked there still. Yes, they just traded

495
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: for Teddy Bridgewater. Uh. But so they say we're set

496
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: there now quarterback, I guess, and they take Patrick Certain,

497
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: the second cornerback out of Alabama. I think this is

498
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: when mock drafts started to go hideously south, by the way,

499
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: because it went hideously south around this around this point, like,

500
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I got maybe seven or eight, right,

501
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: But it's the same seven or eight that like five

502
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: thousand other Jabronis got. So it was an unremarkable run.

503
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: But I know eighteen to twenty five. I think I

504
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: said while we were at a baseball game, I thought

505
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: about tweet, well, I've been doing the opposite for years.

506
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: That's that's that's sort of the problem. I mean, if

507
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: you look at this though, if you look at Carolina's

508
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: defense like what they did last year. I love Jeremy Chin.

509
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: You know you've got Booyer, Dante Jackson, you asked ad

510
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: J C. Horne. They're they're growing their deference like in

511
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: rapid fashion. I mean, these guys all have to work out,

512
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: but Horn is like a special cover man based on

513
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: the out of that I've received. Now, like the the

514
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: when the Broncos took a cornerback, I was plum exit. Well,

515
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: I've been doing lots of study during this but you wait,

516
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: you did not think they'd go corner there at Denver?

517
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: Greg what the they corner has to be one of

518
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: the strongest positions on the roster before this, the like

519
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: he just always take a defensive They signed Kyle Fuller

520
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of money. They signed Ronald Darby for

521
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Um, they signed Bryce Callahan has

522
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: been really good for Phanton GEO a year ago for

523
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot and I think he can play well. Ojan

524
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: Moodia was a rookie last year I thought played really well.

525
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: So that's four guys already. You just added a top

526
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: ten pick, So that got people thinking, well, maybe they're

527
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: taking this pick for Green Bay so you know, I

528
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: haven't totally ruled that up. But then Green Bay took

529
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: a cornerback, which kind of doesn't totally support that theory

530
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: unless they want two of them. So I do the

531
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: smoke in Denver has to have some reality to it.

532
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: And then when they didn't take a quarterback, that does

533
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: lend you to thinking they're they're not going to be

534
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: out of this, whether that's for one or next year. Well, well,

535
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: John Elway did once upon a time successfully recruit Peyton

536
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: Manning and got a ring out of it and a

537
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: run of dominant play and record setting offense. I could

538
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: see Aaron Rodgers in Denver, like, I could see him

539
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: like doing local ads for like like a weed company

540
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, he'd fit well in Denver, you know,

541
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: having lived there, he'd drive right in. What about the

542
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: shining Woodley factor here? I mean she might not want

543
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: him in Colorado, she wants might want him right here. Yea, sir,

544
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: I know it's not that close. People were making fun,

545
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: that's like, but it's like it does make a difference

546
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: if you're only on a two hour flight versus like,

547
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: I need to see more evidence that they're like hanging

548
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: out hour by hour. I don't there's not a lot

549
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: of you know, where are the Instagram photos, where's the show?

550
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 1: You know, where's the all the business. Bracos fans are

551
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: not going to be thrilled if they are you know,

552
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: six and seven and Teddy Bridgewater just took over for

553
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: Drew Lock getting benched. But that's exactly what's going to happen,

554
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: which made this this to me if they don't wind

555
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: up with Aaron Rodgers and if Justin Fields becomes uh

556
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: brilliant um John Elway, I know that, I know that

557
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: John Elliot is now hiding behind with hiding is not fair.

558
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: But we have General Patton there and it's like, you know,

559
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: John Elway, can you avoid the blame? But like you

560
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: cannot miss on this, Like if Justin Fields passed you by,

561
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: the floor falls out. When you have a braid leader

562
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: like General Patton directing the troops, you know, there's nothing

563
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: to be fearful love, And if Aaron Rodgers is there

564
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: for the taking, you will get him because people like

565
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: General Patton, leaders like that don't come around too awful.

566
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: They they can't. They can't allow Slareth into the building.

567
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: By the way, if Rodgers is not in Green Bay

568
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: because I had my cousin Justin, who was a big

569
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: you know. The second slaith sends this tweet out, they

570
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: think Rogers is coming to Denver to night, Like that's

571
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: that's a fireball offense. I think I nailed the finally.

572
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: I've struggled with it, but I have the pronunciation on

573
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: that particular gentleman, Mark Schlarf slurf, slurf. We should we

574
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: should have him on. You know, he's the radio game alright.

575
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: He creates salsa or chili by the way. Yeah. Uh.

576
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: Interesting moment in the draft comes at number ten when

577
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles moved from number twelve to number ten in

578
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: the trade. How did they got a trade with the Cowboys?

579
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles and Cowboys trading with each other on Draft night,

580
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: so they trade up to number ten to take Alabama

581
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: stud Heisman Trophy winner Davanta Smith. Oh my goodness. The

582
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys so traded their tenth pick, got back the twelfth

583
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: pick as well as the Eagles third round pick. The

584
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys um selected winebacker Michael Parsons with the twelfth pick.

585
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: I love this move for the Eagles. UM a little

586
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: bit surprised that the Cowboys were willing to help out,

587
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: but you know they're getting something out of it, and

588
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: the Giants are dying. Dave Gentleman, you know they were

589
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: laser focused on a wide receiver because they then trade

590
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: out of the top of the first round and then

591
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: take a wide receiver later. But then that worked out.

592
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: I thought that was actually a good trade. Dave Gentleman

593
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: finally trades out. But let's focus on the Eagle side

594
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: of things. Uh, this feels like a big move for

595
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, who again he feels like a big winner

596
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: here now because winners and Losers column Dan checking out

597
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: dot com, check that out on NFL dot com, Slash Rosenthal.

598
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: Because Carson Wentz shift out of town. The Eagles don't

599
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: bring in another quarterback despite a lot of such a

600
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: lot of hype and buzz around. Do they believe in Hurts?

601
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: And now they go and get him the raigning Heisman

602
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Trophy winner and a potential superstar number one wide receiver. Okay,

603
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: let's see what happens here. He's so different Smith, you know,

604
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: hundred and sixties six pounds at his most recent testing

605
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: that it does still feel like one of those picks

606
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: that Roseman's out on allege a little bit. I mean,

607
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: everyone's exciting. Jeremiah thinks he is a true, true one,

608
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: and you're right, it's so good for Hurts another quarterback

609
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: receiver combo not don't I don't know. Smith was like

610
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: playing a lot when Jalen Hurts was playing there. That

611
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: was you know, that was before Hurts transferred. You guys

612
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: put more into this than I guess. I'm just I'm

613
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: just noting it. I don't think it's earth shaking, but

614
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: it's I think it's nice too. Because Jalen Reagor. I

615
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: feel a little bad for him because he's not just

616
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: in Jefferson. I don't think he's necessarily a bust. He's

617
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: only you know, but now he can be the number

618
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: two receiver. He's more like the deep threat, like a

619
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown hopefully you know, maybe a similar to Hollywood Brown.

620
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: Are better and now he slides down one like that,

621
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: They're going to be more fun to watch now. I mean,

622
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: like DJ, you know, pinpointing and showing highlights of Davonta

623
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: Smith catching the ball amid defenders, racing for a long

624
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: score not even being touched. They called him the best

625
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: route runner in the draft and you're right. He called

626
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: him a clear clut number one. So you know, I

627
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: don't I don't know how you really evaluate um too

628
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: many of the people from that offense from a year ago.

629
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: It just was like a hard on the eyes car crash.

630
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe you actually have over the last

631
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: two years found two good receivers too, and you could

632
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: change everything and hurts us in a great position. Alright.

633
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned UH Parsons to the Cowboys, Smith to the

634
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: Eagles that pick right in between at number eleven, and

635
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: this was seismic and we'll see if this is a

636
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: major turning point UH for a franchise and desperate need

637
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: of a spark right now. So four years ago the

638
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Bears traded up UH to number two overall and took

639
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell Drabinsky and it was one of the great misfires

640
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: in recent NFL history, not just because Trabisky couldn't really

641
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: play the guitar, but Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson were

642
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: like Slash and Eddie Van Halen, you know, taking the

643
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: guitar analogy further, maybe Uh the brother you know, throw

644
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: him in there too, Jan the other god of guitar um.

645
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: So that didn't work out. So four years later, they

646
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: once again make a draft day move. They trade up

647
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: nine spots with the Giants and they take yes os

648
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: U quarterback Justin Fields. The Giants received the Chicago Bears

649
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: first round pick, which was number twenty uh and fifth

650
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: round pick this year, and then the Bears first and

651
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: fourth rounders next year. So the Giants really clean up

652
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: um and I think it worked out for them because

653
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: they went and got a wide receiver um uh, and

654
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: then also now have this bounty of picks. But Justin

655
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Fields brings mark something that you've talked about many many

656
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: times on the show, and I agree with you. There's

657
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: no there's no buzz around the Bears. There's nothing to

658
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: be excited about. Justin Fields is not a can't miss aspect,

659
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: but if he hits, it changes everything in the NFC North.

660
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're at a different organization that

661
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: was run differently. I think it would be odds on

662
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: that Ryan Pace wouldn't have been here to make this move. Um.

663
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: The Bears are very creaky with their front office and

664
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: coaching decisions in general. But look, how do you realign

665
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: your career? How do you change perception? Number One? I

666
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: think in the NFL's by being aggressive, and Darren and

667
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: West used to talk about that all the time. The

668
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: fortune favors the bold. And I had, you know, Bears fans, right,

669
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: I had Bear fans. We all have Bears fans as

670
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: friends that you know, they're like, do you think someone

671
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: will follow them at twenty? It's like a quarterback? No,

672
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean you're gonna have to do something

673
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: more than that. Um, you wanted to offer the moon

674
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: uh and distant stars for Russell Wilson, So why not

675
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: maybe think about packaging picks to get up a quarterback

676
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: that you like in this one? And they did it

677
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: so I I for me, it changes the whole energy

678
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: of a team that I found, um d energizing. And

679
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust Matt Neige to to

680
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: kind of grow him this quarterback. Um, but it's not

681
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: fair just to judge him antrabisky because that was just

682
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: a wild whiff and fields brings excitement. UM. Bears have

683
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: not really ever drafted a quarterback worth their salt. I mean,

684
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: it's just there an outlier on that front. So they

685
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: swung for the fences. Um, if it works, it changes

686
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: the Bears forever and I think he's a good fit

687
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: for this team. He's from Ohio, He's a cold weather quarterback.

688
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: He can do it all. He's fun to watch, and

689
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: it to me turns one of the least enjoyable franchises

690
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: at this current time in the NFL to something I

691
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: can't wait to see. Yeah, I agree with everything there,

692
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: it's well said. I just worry that it's a tough spot.

693
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: Reminds me a little bit of Donald when he arrived

694
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: in New York, because I think the GM coach situation

695
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: is so precarious that you know you would give them

696
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: over under one year left because no matter how you know,

697
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: if Justin Fields is great this year and he looks

698
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,959
Speaker 1: great in this offense, that solves everything and he will

699
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: play over Robinson because and you know, I like Mooney

700
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: okay at number two, but you know, I guess I

701
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: gotta see it. You know, it doesn't feel like it's

702
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: certainly not Trey Lance Landing Um San Francisco or for

703
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: that matter, Mac Jones. I think is in a better

704
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: situation with with New England. I think you know, there

705
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: there will be challenges and if they don't win this year,

706
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: they will probably change, you know, the regime and then

707
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: and then you know, then that's start getting messy. I

708
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: think you're spot on with that, because foundation is so

709
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: important with these guys, because if things don't go well

710
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: like you're saying, and they reboot, well, if they reboot

711
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: and they hit on the higher with the coach and GM,

712
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: then you'll be okay. But it's a big roll of

713
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: the dice. These things work out half the time, and

714
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: maybe even more the other direction. They don't work out,

715
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: so you're starting over again and then maybe that works,

716
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't. Then all of a sudden you're in

717
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: your third or fourth year of your rookie deal and

718
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: then they have to ask questions about you unless you're

719
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: a star. So I'm not trying to be a downer

720
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: for Bears, no, but I say to be thrilled they

721
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: got some breaks tonight the way the draft felt, and

722
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: then they took advantage. I think, I think this is

723
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: uh you. You could dwell on the negative things and

724
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: you shouldn't turn a blind eye to it. But I think,

725
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: on balance, this is exactly what Bears fans have been

726
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: waiting for. And I talked about it all the time

727
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: about Joe Namath and the Jets and how long it's been, Well,

728
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: they haven't had anybody that they could truly call franchise quarterback,

729
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: said Luckman. I mean Jay Cutler wasn't that. Yeah, I

730
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: don't know, man a quarterback, So maybe Fields becomes that guy.

731
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: And if he stinks the Fields can't play everybody's I'll

732
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: tell you what I thought was a franchise quarterback when

733
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: they traded for him, and so did most people. A

734
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: lot of Greg Greg This is another quarterback that I

735
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: I like, here's the natural, like organic view of j

736
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: Cutler and Gregg's is that view with like eight percentage

737
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: points high? Like a Teddy Bridgewater type of thing. Well,

738
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: he was a great example of what a Shanahan offense

739
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: can make you think, because I think if he had

740
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: had the whole career with Kyle, you know, with Mike

741
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: shann and we'd love JA Color. He was so exciting.

742
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: But um, that's that's kind of where I'm getting that

743
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: with Fields that it's you know, is this coaching staff

744
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna take advantage or is he going to be like

745
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: a J Color? Yeah? Um, all right, let's keep moving

746
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: now here. By the way, I did want to point

747
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: out it is fun you mentioned how you know, it's

748
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: four years about since Drabinsky. Remember that was the night

749
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: when Mike Glennan, who had signed a sixteen million dollar contract,

750
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: went to the draft party. And then they took Drawhisky

751
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: and then very similarly. I mean, it's not quite as bad,

752
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: but there was that tweet with Andy Dalton QB one

753
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: that was kind of the version of Glennon Glennon going

754
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: to the draft party. Well, that's also the Bears creating

755
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: their own problems. It's like, I think I might have

756
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: even written that around the League, around the NFL post.

757
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: It was at Soldier Field, So they basically took an

758
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: area of Soldier Field and invited a bunch of season

759
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: ticket holders and then had some players there. And Blennon

760
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: had just signed that deal. I mean, the dude, the

761
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: guy dirty. I mean, you're doing Mike Glennon dirty. If

762
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: you even had a thought that you were going to

763
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: go make a move like that, and you had to

764
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: have had a thought, you you you say, Mike, stay home,

765
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: Stay home, Mike. What can I offer one counterpoint to that? Yeah,

766
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: let's say you you get hired by a company to

767
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: come in and do a ton of work. You've got

768
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on you. But you signed for

769
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: a lot of guaranteed money. Um, so you're thinking, all right,

770
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: I made a lot of money, but I'm gonna have

771
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: to deliver. Well, they just went and drafted a rookie

772
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: who's going to start over you immediately, because that's how

773
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: this works. You made a ton of money, you don't

774
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: have to do a liqu of work. I don't remember

775
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon throwing a pass during that entire thing, and

776
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: so in a sense, he kept his body clean. Um,

777
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: he lived. Keep his dignity though. I mean that's that

778
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: deal with that another day. It's not all about money.

779
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: This isn't an episode of money on money. Okay, who's

780
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: the person that would, right? But who would constantly tell

781
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: you that money is not the issue? I would, and

782
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm wrong about that half the time. But I'm just

783
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: saying it was like your base sically being getting paid

784
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: a fortune to do like fifteen minutes of work a week.

785
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: I think we started two games. That's totally off at

786
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: top Man. That could be wrong. That's about what Dalton

787
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: feels like, is gonna be the over under here. I mean,

788
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: with all these guys, we could we could sit here

789
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: all day. It's all relative. These are very well paid,

790
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: well compensated individuals across the lester Aaron Rodgers, Right, well,

791
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: he's horribly underpaid. Why didn't that for star? I appreciate um. Alright,

792
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: let's keep moving through the first round into the middle

793
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: of the draft, right Rashawn Slater, tackle from Northwestern, goes

794
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: to the charges, Greg, you add anything on that. I

795
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: know you wanted a little more help blocking. I'm very

796
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: worried about them blowing Herbert's chances of being a top

797
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: five QP. So I think that the draft felt perfectly

798
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah. I had to save that on the

799
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: edge of my seat there, like, how's he gonna land

800
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: this one? All right? Then a trade my New York Jets.

801
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: They picked number two. They took the quarterback, and uh,

802
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: we've heard it since Joe Douglas has take a job.

803
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: He's all about offensive lineman. He was an offensive lineman.

804
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: Data d d dada. So they make a move. Uh,

805
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: they send their twenty third overall pick, the sixty six

806
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: and the eighties sixth overall pick. So they sent uh

807
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: their first rounder and both third rounders to the Vikings

808
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 1: to move up from twenty three to fourteen. They also

809
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: got back a late round draft pick, and they used

810
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: that to take ufc USC offensive lineman Elijah Vera Tucker. Um.

811
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm doing deep dives right when this hat.

812
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: I know he was in the top fifteen and molmost

813
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: every mock draft, and he's seen as a rock solid

814
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: plug and play uh interior linement with the Jets desperately needed. Uh.

815
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: Giving up both third round picks, maybe it was a

816
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: little on the pricey side. But then I think about

817
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: if he can play, and he could solidify the left

818
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 1: side of the interior, and you have Mackay Beckton next

819
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: to him, a left tackle, We're starting to cook. Now

820
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: we're starting to do something and really figure out this

821
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 1: offensive line, so it could pay big dividends. I would

822
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: just remember what kind of offense they want to be.

823
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a Kyle Shanahan. Uh. You know

824
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be heavy run and they know exactly what

825
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: kind of lineman they want to get. So if this

826
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: got the seal of approval, Um, you're right, it's an upside.

827
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: They were the second worst past protecting line in the

828
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: league last year and look that way and look sometimes

829
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: like the worst even one step worst down to thirty two,

830
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: so you know this is an improvement. So I think

831
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: they'd play some right tackle too. I I thought you

832
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: won sandwiches on this, but you, um, you know, very

833
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: nobly reminded the go get my lunch people that you

834
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: said they were going to trade up for a receiver,

835
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: not any trade up. I couldn't think name at that

836
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: time that it took. I had it, Yes, I I

837
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: had my one, and we'll do our sandwich props at

838
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: the end of Saturday show. But I thought Jets were

839
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna trade up and take a wide receiver. They traded

840
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: up and took a guard, so I'm balanced. They get

841
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: a new quarterback and they prove the offensive line, and

842
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: I still my boy. Landed Dickerson Alabama fell out of

843
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: the first round on medical issues. I wish you just

844
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: had a third round pick. If maybe fell down there,

845
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: maybe they move up if they can, but maybe landing

846
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: in the second round. Got my on you, buddy. I

847
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: believe in your body. Believe in that guy's body. How

848
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: is it? How is the Chipotle burrito going to be

849
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: delivered during the show? Emily is gonna come in with it.

850
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: This is why keeping your kids getting married. No, the

851
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: kids are done there in bed. Emily is waiting. She's

852
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: staring out from the front window, just waiting for the

853
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: moment the burrito arrives and she's gonna then shuttle it

854
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: to me directly. Did you allow her to? Did she

855
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: die dinner too or was it just a you operation.

856
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: It's a it's a solo purchase on grub hub because

857
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: it is ten o'clock here, So I'm gonna I'm gonna

858
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: probably have a bite of the burrito because I already

859
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: had a dinner. I don't want to double up dinner.

860
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: That's not what we're trying to do in the off season.

861
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: We're trying to make good health decisions and the off season. Uh,

862
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: but I also have to have a celebratory bite of

863
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: the burrito. Um for good luck. That's where I'm at. Well,

864
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: then I'm in my bedroom right now. So so Emmaica

865
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: is not sleeping until we're done, and she's not I

866
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: hope she's not in the ring though listening to this

867
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: night sense, oh yes, she's trying to. She's like five

868
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: feet away, just wearing pan the camera over. Um, I

869
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: do have to say, like the NFL, when the pandemic started.

870
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, you gotta take a portion of your

871
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: house and turn it into a studio. And we're like,

872
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: hey man, that's that's the breaks, so we gotta do it.

873
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: It's we're lucky to be employed. Uh these houses in

874
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: l a here where they're not very big, but we're

875
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And then you know, people are getting

876
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: shots and the world starting to return to normal. And

877
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the NFL sends a truck

878
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: over with all new equipment and I'm like, oh am

879
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: I not am I not getting this part of my

880
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: house back. I don't think I am. I think I've

881
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: lost this part of my house my paying less rent.

882
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: Her is there gonna be some type of reimbursement of portion.

883
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: And when you look at the square footage that I've lost,

884
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: it's not you know, we don't have a ton of space.

885
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Negatory you have about this, you will get nothing and

886
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: like it interesting, um bullet point for your next negotiations.

887
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: You will take seventy four square feet of my rent

888
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: or I walk. See how that go? All right? Speaking

889
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: of walking, Ricky Hollywood was walking off a pier when

890
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots sat at fifteen and took Mac Jones,

891
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback out of Alabama. Mac Jones, of course, Ricky,

892
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: who was slated by UH smokescreen at number three overall,

893
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: falls the fifteen and the Patriots with Cam Newton in

894
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: the house, now bring in mac Jones, and I would

895
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: say this, Ricky, none of us are college experts, and

896
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: you are not one either. I you seem to think

897
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: that this guy is gonna be a boon doggle for

898
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots. We gotta let this play out because he

899
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: has a ceiling. Uh. People say, I think it was

900
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: Charles Davis that might have said it. In great job.

901
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: I gotta give it up. I had to say, I

902
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: hate to say this, but Daniel Jeremiah did awesome work

903
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. The draft is the thing we dominate

904
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: better than anything. Yeah, I didn't I didn't even turn

905
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: on ESPN. I like that number two was a sportsman,

906
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: but on Draft night, I gotta be loyal to the

907
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: brand and we did a nice job. Charles Davis, I believe,

908
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: was the man, or it was the Stanford coach was

909
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: a Shaw Matt Ryan type ceiling and then maybe more

910
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of Andy Dalton is where it could end up Uh,

911
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: that would be okay, especially if you go closer to

912
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: the Ryan and come on, Ricky, Yeah, I mean the

913
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: forty Niners. They obviously didn't want him, which makes sense.

914
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: And then he keeps falling. And then when the Lions

915
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: didn't take I really don't think they're sold on golf.

916
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: So I was like, there's a chance he could take

917
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: justin Field, and then the Eagles traded up, like you said,

918
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: and then they took the wide receiver that everyone's talking about,

919
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: something like, oh my god, he might justin Fields literally

920
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: might fall because of you know, the Cowboys and all that.

921
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: So I'm getting like super excited and being like, oh

922
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: my god, into win. Then the Bears all of a sudden,

923
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: you traded up. I knew exactly what was happening. And

924
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: then the later it goes not that fifteen is even

925
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: that late, but I'm like mac Jones is falling like

926
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: nobody wants him, and yeah, he worked, you know, he

927
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: was under Saban's the same scheme as the Pats and

928
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. So like Matt Ryan as

929
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: a ceiling, like, I guess it's better than Cam Newton,

930
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: Matt Rise at MVP in Borderline MVP but Ricky is

931
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: making a good point when you when you're talking about

932
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: like where Patriots fans are at after what for them

933
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: was very trying seven and nine. And I know Greg

934
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: has a sandwich prop on it. So Greg was all

935
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: about it. Everyone was like justin fields to the Pats

936
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: and then you are so now you have mac Jones,

937
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, Greg, you're I know, you're not as excited

938
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: about a mac Jones future as you would have been

939
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: just the fields. No, because of the style of play.

940
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the first quarterback taken in the first round.

941
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong since Jared Goff. That's like

942
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: not athletic because it hasn't been anyone else. I mean

943
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: Baker people say, but Baker can move a little bit.

944
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I I just don't think like

945
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: the physical gifts are there. That said, It's funny because

946
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: at the very beginning of the process, people kind of

947
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: thought mac Jones was like a mid first round pick

948
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: and made a lot of sense for the Patriots. So,

949
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: you know, the more I listened to people that are

950
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: really into studying the college evaluation, like, they liked mac Jones,

951
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: he just you know, they liked him as kind of

952
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: like the fifteen or twenty best player in the draft,

953
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: not not a top tier guy, and you know it's

954
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,479
Speaker 1: it's not as exciting, uh, Like his style of play

955
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: is not as exciting. There's some yeah, you know the

956
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: photo of Brady that gets circled around at the draft

957
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: every single year about him shirtless and what he weighs

958
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: and all the you know, just like the just the

959
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: quarterback that doesn't look good. Um, go look at the

960
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: photo of Mac Jones shirtless with a cigar in his mouth.

961
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen that photo until tonight. And so it's

962
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: not it's not the most impressive physique, but he's but

963
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: it's just get into a professional strength of training program, right.

964
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: It was under the impression, Ricky, that that maybe was

965
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: the most annoying part to you was the I wouldn't

966
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: call it flabby, but maybe just sort of like a

967
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: like how like a twelve year old boy who's eating

968
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: too much food around the pool looks like just a

969
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 1: bit of a blimpy stomach. He probably isn't always looking

970
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: that way, but like that seemed to be more agitating

971
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: to you than than what you had caught from his

972
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: Alabama career. Per se we have Josh McDaniels and you know,

973
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, this this great. You know, we kind of

974
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: unlocked it a little bit with Cam with a mobile quarterback.

975
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: So I like, as the night kept going on, I

976
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: got wicked excited it about justin fields, and I really

977
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: thought that the possibility was getting closer and closer and closer,

978
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: because who even knows. When the Eagles traded up, I

979
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 1: was like, oh, maybe they're going to get them because

980
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: there they might not be all in on Hurts either,

981
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: and they've said that. So Patriots fan disappointment, right, I mean,

982
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: is it more concerning for you that you got mac

983
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: Jones so that you were out that Bill Belichick was

984
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: outwitted by Ryan Pace? Yeah? I mean Lombardi. Lombardi claimed

985
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: before the draft there was no chance they were taking fields,

986
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: which cooled me, which got me my expectations way lower.

987
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: So even as the night was going I kind of

988
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: figured they'd like take a defensive player of fields. Was

989
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if Ricky maybe I'm wrong. You you

990
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: talked to Patriots fans too, I think I would suspect suspect.

991
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: This pick was actually fairly popular in New England because

992
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: they want you know they want a new quarterback. Essentially

993
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: they you know, it's like this Saban clone. I mean, weirdly,

994
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: like the Page Huts. Fans have been almost brainwashed into

995
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: like wanting clones and like Mac Jones like walking down

996
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: looking all serious. Honestly, the thing I like least about

997
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: them getting mac Jones is what I fear is gonna

998
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: be like the Patriots fans reaction and just everything about

999
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: the Mac Jones like versus Cam Newton experience, is gonna

1000
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: be a little messy. You know, there's some you know,

1001
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: Brady got a lot of stuff for being like a

1002
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: Trump guy and stuff. There's a little bit of that

1003
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: with mac Jones. So it's all crazy. Yeah, you'll see

1004
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: that photo again if you haven't, if you haven't seen him,

1005
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: But don't you think Like I also, I like the

1006
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: process of it. By the time they got to the

1007
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: pick there, I was I kind of wanted them to

1008
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: take back Jones because I really do believe you have

1009
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: to keep taking quarterbacks and don't. I don't know, they've

1010
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: they've earned my benefit of the doubt. It's like, well,

1011
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: they'll probably make it work with mac Jones. Like I

1012
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: can see that working. Yeah, just like uh, I want

1013
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: to be m v P. Cam Newton for sure. I

1014
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: still Cam. I'm still wanting Cam to That's an uphill battle.

1015
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: You are, all right, let's keep moving alright. So as

1016
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: we now head through the end of the middle and

1017
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: to the back end, um you have. Let's see Xavin Collins,

1018
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: the talented linebacker and it's also goes to the Cardinals.

1019
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: So they take linebackers that in the first round back

1020
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: to back years. Alex Leatherwood, offensive tackle Alabama goes to

1021
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders at number seventeen. This is becoming a great

1022
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 1: new tradition. Everyone kills the Raider pick in the first round.

1023
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: And you know how, DJ too again a great joun

1024
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: LUs guy knows this stuff. On this this is my

1025
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: biggest stage of the year, and I knocked it out

1026
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: of the park. Everybody looks at me. I'm prepared, charismatic

1027
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: and will spoken whatever. Good job bro Um. Also a

1028
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: guy that doesn't He's not going to tear you down

1029
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: on national television. That's just not DJ style. But this

1030
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: is DJ killing a pick. If you truly can hold

1031
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: out the way DJ feels about a pick, play it,

1032
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: Ricky one is a little bit of a It's interesting

1033
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: pick because you talked to people around the leaguer all

1034
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,720
Speaker 1: over the map on Alex Southerwood. Some really like himself

1035
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: struggle with him. He's played a lot of football at Alabama,

1036
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: started a lot of ball games. He's got quick feet.

1037
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: He was my sixty second overall player. So it was

1038
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, but I had him coming off

1039
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: the board. But obviously they've found some traits all of

1040
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: Southerwood that they felt great about me. I'm just trying

1041
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: to read into what you're saying this kind of surprise. YEA, yeah,

1042
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: I did not. I did not think Alexi off the

1043
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: board in the second round him He's not gonna be

1044
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: a good player, to be a solid starter. He also

1045
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: pointed out that they could have, you know, possibly traded

1046
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: back and gotten more value, which I thought was the

1047
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: u most salient point of criticism there too, because he

1048
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,479
Speaker 1: pointed out when Mayak was on the set, he would

1049
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: be like, if you've got a conviction, like, there's no

1050
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: nothing too early to take a player. But now they've

1051
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: taken Cleveland Ferrell fourth, they took our Net last year,

1052
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: which was a shocker, and then this one. I do

1053
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: like the Jeremiah I was like I had him sixty two.

1054
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to be constructed with his criticism.

1055
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 1: But their friends, I mean, if suddenly we were having

1056
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: to replaced them in this very job that DJ is

1057
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: in is the number one draft analysts, And I was

1058
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: also thinking as like as DJ is saying, all right,

1059
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: I hate this pick, but I'm gonna be a GM

1060
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: next year, and how would I want my replacement to

1061
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: come after me if I if I had to reach

1062
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: in the first round. It's like you're kind of in

1063
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: a tough spot in that position, right, I mean, but

1064
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: I'll give Mayak this, like, yeah, all right, look at

1065
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: have the drafts all worked? No, I think it's been underwhelming.

1066
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: But he's at least living what he said he mentioned

1067
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 1: on NFL Network about when you believe in someone, you

1068
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: just take him. I mean, he thinks for himself. Now

1069
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: there's some gruten in there obviously too, but I mean

1070
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: Mayok like consistently does things that no one expects in

1071
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: the draft. Just that I think you just need to work.

1072
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: It needed to work because I get concerned about vision,

1073
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: Like we have our board and our word. We don't

1074
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: care about anybody else. That's all good as long as

1075
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: the guys can play, then you're just bad at this,

1076
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: so that that there is a bit of a dance here.

1077
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: They also got stuck, I think, into having to go

1078
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: offensive line because of some of the stuff that's happened

1079
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: this offseason, which is also a front office business. But

1080
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: when you hear like half the league thinks he's a tackle,

1081
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 1: half he thinks he's a guard. To me, that doesn't

1082
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: scream like we've got a home run here. It's like

1083
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: you've got a project, and it's that The trading back

1084
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: thing is I think that's important. That's process. That's why

1085
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: I kind of was, you know, like I said, was

1086
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: wished with with Jones. The process of it made sense

1087
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: to take a quarterback there, Like, you can't tell me

1088
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: that the Raiders couldn't have traded back and gotten some

1089
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: extra picks and still taking old leather face leather face,

1090
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: O leather face. Uh this one, by the way, leatherwood,

1091
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: what what type of like what product are you leather

1092
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: would like? Which that's a great call. Are you a guard?

1093
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: Are you a tackle? Are you leather? Are you would?

1094
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: Who are you Alex? And he's like, I don't No.

1095
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: Number eight seen the Dolphins steak Jalen Phillips ed rusher

1096
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: out of Miami. Uh, the Washington football team takes Homo Davis,

1097
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: linebacker out of Kentucky. And then the Giants, as I said,

1098
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: took a wide receiver out of Florida, can Darius Tony.

1099
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: So we'll see, um if he turns out to be Listen,

1100
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 1: you never know what these wide receivers, you never know,

1101
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: Like all these guys go in the first round, and

1102
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 1: just because Tony got picked after the three other studs,

1103
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: he might be better than all of them. And then

1104
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: the Giants would have the better wide receiver and the

1105
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: extra first round pick. We'll see Dave Gentleman another another

1106
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: potential chance to save his job. You know, he's an

1107
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: interesting in that job, a bit of a gadget guy,

1108
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: you know that type. Think how Tony projects is kind

1109
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: of a guy to use in a lot of creative ways.

1110
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean receiver. It was weird because they were zeroed

1111
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: in on receiver, it sounded like and that was a

1112
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: good point. Dan, I didn't even think about that. They

1113
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: probably were gonna take Smith, Devanta Smith there. Um like

1114
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: they have good receivers. They have Sterling's shepherd Darius Slayton

1115
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: and Kenny Golladay and in Ingram and now they have Tony.

1116
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: So if nothing else, they should be a lot more watchable.

1117
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: I would think if those guys all stay healthy too,

1118
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: that's been the issue. Yeah, I tweeted that gentleman. If

1119
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: nothing else, his drafting style is very linear, or it's like,

1120
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: all right, he wants this, he'll take this, and in

1121
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: this case, because they took it from him, he said,

1122
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: I will now move back, and then I will take

1123
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: that same position, but only a little further in the block.

1124
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: There's there's not a lot of layers, it feels like

1125
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: with Gentlman. But maybe it all works out in the end,

1126
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: all right, I asked you guys on on text Mark,

1127
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: I know you saw it. Um a little later, Um

1128
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: sneaky good picks. I like the Titans did. By the

1129
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: way the Colts take I'm going to struggle with his name,

1130
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: Quity pay the addresser out of Michigan, A one the Titans.

1131
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: I really liked. Caleb Farley, cornerback out of Virginia Tech.

1132
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: This is their defense has been killing him the last

1133
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: couple of years. And this is uh Farley is you know,

1134
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: not a can't miss prospect, but everyone, everyone says, this

1135
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: guy's got a ton of upside and they need help

1136
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: in that secondary. Like he just watching just a little

1137
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: bit of him, he leaps off the screen. I think

1138
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: he he could have He would have been a top

1139
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: ten pick if not for these back surgeries. He would

1140
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: have been taken ahead of certain and he would have

1141
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: been taken ahead of Horn. And he's just a big

1142
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: injury risk. But I think when you're getting towards the

1143
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: end of the round, and that's gonna my it's similar

1144
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: to my sneaky good pick. Uh take a big swing,

1145
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the first round, and

1146
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: you know they they are a team that they pointed

1147
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: out on network. I thought correctly that Jeffrey Simmons injury

1148
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: issues coming in, but they just loved the player and

1149
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: they showed enough faith in in his rehab and getting

1150
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: back on the field and they won that one. Um.

1151
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean when I watched him, they compared him to

1152
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson, to Bobby Taylor. Um the older goal. I

1153
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: see little shades. It's not it's not Um safety, but

1154
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: I see shades of Eric Turner in the way he hits.

1155
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he just attacks. So if you get the

1156
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: healthy version of this. This was an awesome pick for

1157
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: the Titans. Okay, let's keep moving through the first round.

1158
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: Him bah blah booe. Christian Darisaw, offensive tackle out of

1159
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, goes to the Vikings at twenty three. They

1160
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: of course traded with the Jets back to twenty three

1161
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: and picked up those two mid round picks. Um, and

1162
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: they take Darrisaw. Okay, the Steelers. There's there was a

1163
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: lot of buzz connecting naj Harris, the talented Alabama running back.

1164
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: By the way, six Alabama players went in the first

1165
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: round of this draft. I mean that is Nick Saban's

1166
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: doing something well. They also were like, we're playing no

1167
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: matter what, like other there are other colleges that didn't

1168
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: get more than a couple of games in and Alabamas like,

1169
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: we don't really care what's happening in America. We're playing right.

1170
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: But they they're the recruiting and and they've built up

1171
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: such an outstanding program and a winning tradition there that

1172
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: I guess all these like blue chip guys must be

1173
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: running to go there. It's just unbelievable. The factory of

1174
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: that place is anyway, nag Harris the running back goes

1175
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: to the Steelers A twenty four, adding a much, much,

1176
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: much needed element of um dynamic talent uh in that

1177
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: running back group because James Conner, after a lot of

1178
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: hype early on, uh, he kind of petered out. Now

1179
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: he's in Arizona. Levian Bell of course, was a superstar

1180
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: and we know how that ended. Now Harris is a

1181
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: chance to kind of breathe some life into that backfield. Well,

1182
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 1: your mock got this one right there. Mark, Yeah, Well

1183
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I you know, that wasn't me being

1184
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock and thinking originally necessarily, but you know, they

1185
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: camped him to Levy on bell Um, Charles Davis comped

1186
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: him to Franco Harris, and he's a huge guy who

1187
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: can move. Uh. He had more rushing yards, receiving yards,

1188
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: and touchdowns than Derrick Henry or mark Ingram at Alabama.

1189
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like when teams have like a profile. I mean,

1190
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: and there's a reason the Steelers do. They've had the

1191
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: same GM for twenty years, so they just keep but

1192
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: they don't have an offensive line and they and they

1193
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: haven't been the same since Mike Munchak left. So that's

1194
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the part I don't quite get are you gonna fix

1195
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: this thematically? Do you have the players up front? On paper?

1196
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: Their offensive line looks terrible, looks like one of the

1197
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL. They're they're organizationally, they've just been

1198
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: so stable and well run for so long that you

1199
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: just assume it's gonna work out. But with the line

1200
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: and the uncertain nature of Big Ben at the stage,

1201
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: coupled with the fact that it does look like it's

1202
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: they actually signed Mason Rudolph to a one year extension,

1203
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: uh today or that was it was announced today, so

1204
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: it's like he's the backup and you have that Bust

1205
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Haskins somewhere in the building as well, So it's like, Okay,

1206
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's either gonna be They're either gonna be

1207
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: twelve and five or thirteen and four, or this is

1208
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna be Mark's fever dream of all time and they

1209
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: go six and eleven. Like, I feel like there's not

1210
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna be like an in between with this Steelers team.

1211
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: You make it sound make sure offensive line in April,

1212
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: May and June. You make it sound like Haskins is

1213
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: just like hanging out in the I T closet or

1214
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: something They're like, where is Haskins? I mean, would you

1215
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: be surprised He's like, you know, on his iPhone or something.

1216
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: I know another running quarterback in the building right now.

1217
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: You never know. I know Dwayne Haskins is not the

1218
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: best quarterback in any building. I mean, you can imagine

1219
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: if you are so harsh about Sam darnld here here

1220
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: you go there, the numbers are very similar. That's why, yes,

1221
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins and Sam Donald that is a good comparison

1222
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: point to the type of individual we're dealing with here.

1223
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: The Haskins doesn't want to play, he didn't put any up.

1224
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: You got run out of town in two years, Greg

1225
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Kay Travis Travis Etian, I think I got that e

1226
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: t N A t N running back Clemson to the Jaguars,

1227
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: all right. I mean it seems weird, especially the way

1228
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: urban Meyer talked about him, and maybe it's probably just

1229
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: coach speak, but he was like, we say James Robinson

1230
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: and Carlos Side as our one two punch and at

1231
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: the end as there our third down back because we

1232
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: wanted to have one of the top eight running back

1233
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: groups in the league. I was like, that was a

1234
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: very odd comments. What are you telling us somation for

1235
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: that's probably just saying that in making the rookie earn

1236
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: his way. I mean, if you're drafted him twenty five,

1237
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: he better not be playing behind Carlos hide Well and

1238
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: you won't like this then, but it's another pairing of

1239
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Clemson quarterback and it's Clemson running back, which I know

1240
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: each other. I think you're suggesting that when Greg and

1241
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned that we think that it's gonna be gonna

1242
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: make them all like Hall of Fame players. I'm just

1243
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: saying there seems to be every year this happen, you

1244
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: know what. I hope, I hope, I hope the Jets

1245
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: draft like every Mormon guys. Well by the end, it's

1246
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: not like matching religions. But that's interesting too. Why not?

1247
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Why don't you're not a lot of rogue elements at

1248
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: p y U. Remember when the Jets really did draft

1249
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez's buddy in the sixth Yes, yes, yes, yes,

1250
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: and collision low crossers that was covered extensively. Uh No,

1251
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I do like the idea of a Rosenthal Cessler co

1252
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: GM thing where that's that's the only thing your draft

1253
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: board is like matching up former teammates it's like, if

1254
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: you can get a high school teammates, that's fine, but

1255
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,919
Speaker 1: we really want college teammates. We'll even go junior high

1256
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: if necessary. Uh. Speaking of Mark, the Browns take Greg

1257
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Newsom the second cornerback out of Northwestern. Um, I I

1258
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: find that I know you're a writer, die with Andrew

1259
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Barry in this brain trust right now, and why wouldn't

1260
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: you be there on there on there? Uh, they've really

1261
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: built a nice roster here. I saw that you love

1262
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,479
Speaker 1: this move. Well, I do because I like I think

1263
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: that they had from just some stuff that I had

1264
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: heard that there was a shortlist of players they were

1265
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: interested in. And in most mocks you look at Newsom

1266
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: didn't get to them. Um. And I think Caleb Farley

1267
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: was another guy they were into, and maybe you know,

1268
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: Farley didn't get to them, and so that Newsom did.

1269
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: I think that was a win for the Browns. They

1270
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: wanted to go quarterback or edge and just you know

1271
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: again it's you've added John Johnson, Troy Hill, you get

1272
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Greedy Williams back who didn't play a snap last year,

1273
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: you get your grant to help it back, and you

1274
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: get Newsome. That's five new players in your secondary um

1275
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: secondary that you know, even though they whipped Pittsburgh in

1276
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: that playoff game, gave up five hundred yards in that game.

1277
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: It's like their defense was a liability. So you know,

1278
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 1: they've done a lot to address that side of the ball.

1279
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: So I think that is um a victory for Andrew

1280
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: Berry and co. And a nice showcase for Cleveland. You know,

1281
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: tonight is a little rainy though. That was on Dan's

1282
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: rader a little a little too much with like the hey,

1283
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: where the rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing? It's like, well,

1284
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: there's also the football Hall of Fames nearby. I don't

1285
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: need Kings of Leon before and after the draft starts.

1286
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Could we agree though, that whoever the host city is,

1287
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: at any point, you're gonna be you and I will

1288
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: be sick of the host city. Um uh, you know,

1289
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: flourish and all the nonsense. By by the end of

1290
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: the weekend, I'm not matter who it is Cleveland at all.

1291
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't build the telecast around King No.

1292
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: But I mean the draft hadn't even started and Dan

1293
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: was already sending hot texts about you know, Cleveland people

1294
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: being fake tough because it was raining or something. I

1295
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: don't know what it was you were that. I don't know.

1296
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think I texted clearly

1297
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: just to get a rise out of you. But it

1298
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: was wet and cold and miserable. And it's like, oh,

1299
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: let's put the draft in Cleveland because the people are

1300
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: so gritty, Like, how about you put somewhere seventy four

1301
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: degrees and sunny. You know, let's not overthinking. How about this.

1302
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: How about we returned the draft so I could also,

1303
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: like maybe see my family more than once a year.

1304
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: How about we return it to New York City, you know,

1305
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: the greatest city in the world. Put in Radio City

1306
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: and and kind of cut out some of this. I'm

1307
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: not gonna get into it. I like not the Radio

1308
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: City business. Like you left with a back injury. You

1309
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: could barely sit in your seat on the way home. Well,

1310
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't make some changes and updates to the venue, perhaps,

1311
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: although I do love the the kind of spirit of

1312
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Radio City Music Hall and uh it's place in Manhattan's history,

1313
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: but were made for for like the average when the

1314
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: average man was my size, It's like Fenway Park seats,

1315
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: they're not facing home plate and they're like they're they're

1316
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: for a hundred guys. Like honestly, um, I kid you not,

1317
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: because we used to go there every year for the draft, um,

1318
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: and they would just stick you in these like nineteen

1319
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven uh seats for five ft two one fourteen

1320
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: pounders and my neck got so messed up, uh that

1321
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I was in physical therapy for like six months and

1322
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: they're like you was sphinosis. I was like, what, yes,

1323
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't do that, so you can't sit

1324
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: that way? Did the NFL like show any more concerned

1325
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: for that than they did for the room in your

1326
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: house being used for their for their goods and wears.

1327
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: But I would also remember that at that Radio City, UM,

1328
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: when we weren't sitting in those they had you sitting

1329
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: in the chairs with a wooden like pieces of wood

1330
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: on top of you that you at your laptop on.

1331
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: First of all fire hazard, but um there was like

1332
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: they'd have us doing auxiliary work up in like the

1333
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: makeup rooms for like the rockets or something. It couldn't

1334
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: have been more bizarre slash from rewarding. I don't know, listen,

1335
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: I not not for me. I mean the NFL wants

1336
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: to send me it's a blessing on this end of

1337
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: the all Right, I see how this is going. It was.

1338
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 1: It was honestly a career highlight when I lived in

1339
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: New York. To go to cover the draft in New York.

1340
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: That was sort of always my dream to like cover

1341
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: an event without like leaving the city. And getting to

1342
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: do that for four or five years was like a

1343
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: thrill once I moved. Once I moved, yeah, it would

1344
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: be nice to bring it back there. I also treasured

1345
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: the experience, but I didn't like it. I didn't like

1346
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: flying in really to be you know, as much. But

1347
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: now I would. I haven't been there, and it does.

1348
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: Ricky points out the super Bowl will be in Los

1349
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Angeles this year. Greg, So I guess, pinch yourself. It's

1350
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: a little different. Like just the idea of I literally

1351
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,560
Speaker 1: like walked to the draft. You're like walking through the

1352
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: city and you're going to the draft was all right.

1353
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,919
Speaker 1: So I like this pick a lot too. Rashad Bateman,

1354
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: who our friend Nate Tye had pumped up as a

1355
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver that he loved out in Minnesota. He goes

1356
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 1: to the Ravens. So the Ravens said, U two first

1357
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: round picks at seven and thirty one and thirty one

1358
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: they take Jason away Edge Penn State, UH and yes,

1359
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman a guy with a lot of upside and Tyson,

1360
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: as you were callboys, was very big on him. Um,

1361
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: so you now add Bateman to the Hollywood Brown UH

1362
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver group and okay, we're making some progress. Now

1363
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: needed him and I think you know a lot of

1364
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: mocks had him going earlier. And he can make plays

1365
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: down the field. Seems very complete and oh way, I'm

1366
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: fascinated by He's my sneaky good pick because he looks

1367
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: like a freak. You could make the argument just looking

1368
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: at his testing numbers that he is a like as

1369
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: big a testing freak as any defensive end almost it's

1370
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: ever come back, come out, And he reminds me a

1371
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: lot of JD. David Clowney. That's kind of how he plays.

1372
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: So maybe you know, if he if he has a

1373
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,639
Speaker 1: career like Clowney and he landed in the perfect spot

1374
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: like that, can actually coach him up to to work

1375
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: with all this talent, and you just figure the Ravens

1376
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: are gonna make it work. Um. Peyton Turner defensive end

1377
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: goes to the Saints. I don't think Saints fans were

1378
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: too excited about that, based on what I was um

1379
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: seeing on Twitter, a lot of w TF eight exclamation

1380
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: marks that yeah, I was a little bit out of nowhere.

1381
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: But he he They said, he's exactly like Marcus Davenport,

1382
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: which is not going to get them excited either. I

1383
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: mentioned Stokes the corner out of Yard Georgia went to

1384
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: the Packers, Greg Rosso, who's a guy that very um

1385
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: polarizing as Lands Airline I was talking about last week

1386
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: on our show or earlier this week. This has been

1387
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: a very long week. Uh. He goes number thirty overall

1388
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: to the Bill. So that's obviously a roster similar to

1389
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland where you don't see a ton of holes. But

1390
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 1: getting another pass rusher in there with high upside, Uh,

1391
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: that's a nice move this late in the draft. I

1392
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: think they're thrilled he got there. I mean, you saw,

1393
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 1: like I it seems like every war room is just

1394
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of people pumping their fists. But at the

1395
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: same time, like I think that was it was a

1396
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: little genuine from the Bills. I don't think that Rousseau

1397
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: was someone they expected to have a chance to grab

1398
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: their fake fist pumps. I think it's the kind of

1399
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: thing where like, and I get it, like why would

1400
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:37,799
Speaker 1: you You're gonna like whoever you pick at that moment,

1401
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 1: But it's like, who's really really feeling like, holy f

1402
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: we scored here? And I would put the Bills in

1403
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: the higher echelon of feeling like, holy f we really

1404
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: scored here. The Cowboys always lay it on a little

1405
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 1: thick with their so they didn't. They didn't tonight because

1406
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: they wanted to take a cornerback and it went cornerback

1407
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: cornerback in front of him and then they traded out,

1408
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: so they I think they got back. That's also like

1409
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: more than any team in the league in terms of

1410
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: what they wanted. Jara has like thirty seven hidden cameras

1411
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: all throughout the draft room trained on everyone and if

1412
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: you don't have the exact reaction that he wants, you're gone, right.

1413
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: And they've been drinking whiskey since eleven am, so you know,

1414
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, was the guy that cleaned the glasses? Was

1415
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: he in the draft room? You think I didn't see

1416
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: him there? There? Didn't catch draft room always has a

1417
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of people. I found it hilarious that the Patriots.

1418
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: Entire draft room was Belichick, Craft and one other person

1419
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,600
Speaker 1: who I think was Patricia I think it was. I

1420
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: think it was. That's it. That was their entire draft

1421
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: or they don't let anyone else in. It's just like

1422
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: who beat by the way? Greg? Easy with the Kings

1423
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: of Leon Slander, it's so easy but that band and

1424
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: now they're over the hill and I listened to the

1425
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: most recent album and it's it's you know, it's sad

1426
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: when it happens. But their time came and went. But

1427
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: those early Kings of Leon records were some of the

1428
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,879
Speaker 1: best to me rock of the early to mid two thousand's.

1429
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just say that I want to I

1430
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: want to get that out there and I want that

1431
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: to be on the record. Please respond, Greg No I

1432
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: saw you know, they had a very mixed reaction on Twitter.

1433
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: Some people were very excited, you know a lot of

1434
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 1: the same people who like it when you know they

1435
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 1: play Bruce Springsteen and stuff, and other people were like,

1436
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: who are these I like? Like? I like, but I

1437
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: love I love a lot of rock music, just not

1438
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: just not the the Leons. Do we love to keep

1439
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: talking till this burrito shows up? By the way, that

1440
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: is a good point. I'm a little I'm starting to

1441
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: worry about the burrito. Aha, shake heartbreak, check that out,

1442
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: Check that out. I know. Listen, there's gonna be large

1443
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: swaths of football twitter that if you're a veteran rock band,

1444
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: you get your cheap shots in because it shows that

1445
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: you're cool, and those the killers of the Strokes or

1446
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: so that I would have been about it. Why not

1447
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: that that. It's also just like the timing why you

1448
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: why is any band playing to take up that time

1449
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:13,480
Speaker 1: slots is really high? Like I will say the reanimate

1450
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: prints or it's something really big on the subject. Like

1451
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the only thing I would the only comment I would

1452
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: make critique of our coverage is we were very, very

1453
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 1: plugged in on the music that was being played by

1454
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: the house band during the telecast. Well they had wait,

1455
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: there was one moment where I thought that they did

1456
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: what was it? Was it Sweet Caroline? Where now now

1457
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: I remember hearing that being like because it's the Red

1458
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 1: Sox song, of course, and um I was thinking to myself,

1459
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,640
Speaker 1: oh this this kind of went over well, and now

1460
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: they're going to try to make this a tradition. And

1461
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: now I got this song involved in the draft as well.

1462
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: Enough with the sweet Caroline, but the Neil Diamond stuff.

1463
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: Can we calm down. It's an embarrass man, It's an

1464
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: embarrassment for Red Sox fans. I think a lot of

1465
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: them feel that embarrassment alongside with me. I thought that

1466
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: the production was sterling. Um. I just had a ball

1467
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: and watching the whole thing. Let's see, now you're getting it.

1468
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: Where did the where did the little where did the

1469
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: little heading that said the fully vaccinated room with some heroes?

1470
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: That was my favorite. Um, that was my favorite part

1471
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: of the night was seeing which which draft rooms were

1472
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: fully vaccinated or not because it said fully vaccinated draft

1473
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: room with the Falcons. What was that like? I think

1474
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: it was to promote getting Oh no, that is my

1475
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: My wife made the same comments, like why is it

1476
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: saying because it wasn't just the Falcons, it was several teams.

1477
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Why are they doing That's like, I guess we're trying

1478
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: to be socially responsible as a league. I guess that's

1479
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: what it was all about. I guess because like the Patriots,

1480
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: it didn't say fully vaccinated and they were wearing masks,

1481
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: so that again that gets you thinking. This whole Patriots.

1482
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, This this podcast is making me in like

1483
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: rooting for the Patriots least, It's like it's it's not

1484
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: helping mission. Comp kind of want to give up on it.

1485
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm texting my wife about the burrito. By the way,

1486
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: I will give you very quickly my upside or was

1487
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: it your my sneaky um draft picks in the second No,

1488
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's Jamon Davis, all right. DJ compared

1489
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 1: him to Darius Leonard, who I think is like one

1490
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite defensive players in the league right now,

1491
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: and then David Shaw. This is this should make you excited, Dan,

1492
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: because David Shaw basically said that, like Zach, Wilson was

1493
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: like one of the most fun players to watch on offense.

1494
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: Was he the best quarterback? I don't know, but he's

1495
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: most fun. He said that Jamon Davis he is fun.

1496
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: But he's saying that Jamon Davis was defensive version of that.

1497
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,919
Speaker 1: So he's on my radar. Good. Wilson's almost gotten overlooked

1498
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: on this pode just because we knew he was going there.

1499
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: But my god, he he is gonna light it up.

1500
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 1: I think I think early on there's gonna be a

1501
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: lot of good and a lot of bad. But I

1502
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: think I think everyone kind of knows that going in,

1503
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 1: But it's kind of cautiously optimistic. I really am, because

1504
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: I was. I was in the camp, and everybody listen

1505
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: to this podcast knows that I was kind of on

1506
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 1: the side of keep Donald and give him a real

1507
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: structure and bring in some more help and see if

1508
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: he can get on track. But now, after going through

1509
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: this whole draft process, if this guy is special, if

1510
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: he's special and he's fun and he gets you out

1511
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: of your chair and he passes like that Chris Westling

1512
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: test where he's like, what's the first game I put

1513
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: on on game pass? Like, I don't think that was

1514
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: ever gonna happen with west and Sam Donald and the

1515
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 1: Jets um even if Donald panned out, But if Wilson

1516
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: can play, he could turn them into like a team

1517
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: that they want to put in prime time again and

1518
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: all that, and there's there's just a lot of hope.

1519
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: And everyone's hung up on how young he looks, and

1520
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I get that, but that doesn't really matter. I mean, hopefully,

1521
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: I also like matter a little bit. He seems to

1522
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: be a little bit of the photo he sent out

1523
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: of him like staring down at his phone while he's

1524
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: on the you know, with the traffic behind them, is

1525
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a red flag. But he's got

1526
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: some Sanchez to him. Maybe that's not so bad. When

1527
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: Rich eyes and put it out into the ether that

1528
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: like that Jets Patriots, Mac Jones versus Zack Wilson will

1529
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: be a primetime game. I was like, oh, yeah, that's it.

1530
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: Will it'll be a third It'll be that I see

1531
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: some some Baker DNA. Maybe not I'm not saying from

1532
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: the plane side, but headband wearing like, um, you know,

1533
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge, which now we suddenly

1534
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: like uh, you know already doing commercials, which we're which

1535
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: we're already buying the products that he's pitching. So you know,

1536
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: it's suddenly when it's happening to you like all these

1537
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: things are positive. So maybe we can at least have

1538
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,799
Speaker 1: a truce and realize we're both like these quarterbacks with

1539
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: with a little bit of edge. What's wrong with John Baker?

1540
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: I never had a problem Baker's edge. Get out of here. Well,

1541
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's just gotta play, and he played very

1542
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: well in year three. Well, I it is not just

1543
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: the play that we're discussing like the concept that he

1544
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: hasn't won five five super Bowl, so he shouldn't be

1545
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: doing an ad. But now you're you're literally waiting for

1546
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 1: your wife to bring you a burrito, that your quarterback

1547
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: is pitched before he's thrown a pass, which, by the way,

1548
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: I couldn't be happier about. But it's just let's be

1549
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: real here, Like they are the same situation, young people

1550
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: capitalizing on their looks, youth, talent, and position in life.

1551
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: It's more like the Baker commercial was relentless that whole

1552
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and then on top of it it was like everyone was like,

1553
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: let me get my blog post and my tweet thread

1554
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: fired off about how amazing this ad campaign is. And

1555
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I mean, I think we all thought

1556
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 1: that it was like totally misplaced in a terrible season,

1557
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: and it was. We were watching eight televisions in our newsroom.

1558
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,720
Speaker 1: They were good to stick with him. Though, they were

1559
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: good to stick with him. I mean, what what commercials

1560
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 1: get more popped than they I think we can call

1561
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: it official. I mean, we we know he's a better

1562
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: commercial actor, but Baker Mayfield did he did win over

1563
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. You know that's that's over. I do well

1564
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: he want in terms of their picks, that's over. The

1565
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: pick was more successful. Like, yeah, no matter what, I

1566
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: think Sam Donald would have done just as well, if

1567
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 1: not better than Baker if you put him in Cleveland.

1568
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I really do believe that. I disagree, and I think

1569
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: that at best, that's a guess. If Baker, well, of

1570
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:34,799
Speaker 1: course it is. If Baker is drafted by the Jets,

1571
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 1: the Jets would have drafted a new quarterback this year

1572
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, but you can say that and

1573
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: will do what I don't. We don't even know. You

1574
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 1: got to go with the results. You know, there was

1575
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: like the Marriott of Winston that was kind of a

1576
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: draw this. You know, he got it, he got the decision.

1577
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 1: You got to win. Yeah, well, that's great. Congratulations, Give him,

1578
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: give him a huge contract, give him the Jyard golf extensions.

1579
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: See how that goes. He's I mean to go, they're not.

1580
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: But they're not doing that. They're not doing that early

1581
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: like other teams have. I'm not fin Let's not fight

1582
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: about this especially minutes. Congratulations to Andrew Barry though, what

1583
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,839
Speaker 1: a day he had at a kid this morning on drafting.

1584
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: That sounds like a movie. For the lists who think

1585
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: there's too much jets Um Brown's talk, just lop off

1586
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: the final thirty seven minutes of the show and you'll

1587
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: be fine. And Buckstands are like, when are you going

1588
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:29,480
Speaker 1: to get to our joke? How I forgot about that?

1589
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: He's the edge at of Washington. He goes thirty second

1590
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: um overall to wrap up Round one. Any final takeaways

1591
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: from the first round besides Drew Brees new hair, Yeah,

1592
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 1: that was a big one, noticeable. Like I said, would

1593
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: just wonder if there is anything else with the Broncos

1594
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 1: and the Packers and all this before if we hear

1595
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: anymore whispers or if its just shut down and you know,

1596
01:21:56,040 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: they've closed the curtain and everyone's left the stage. I

1597
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: think I found a way to like jam in all

1598
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: the points I wanted to make, even when it didn't

1599
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: really make sense in the context of what we were

1600
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: talking about. I think it is uh, it's all covered

1601
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: and uh, and we do not need to cover Tim

1602
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Tebow and let's tryout with the Jackets either, and we

1603
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: do need to cover Kim DJ, but that will come

1604
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday, so don't worry. I did not forget. We

1605
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: have a we have a Kim d J update, which

1606
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 1: is outrageous. I can't believe Kim DJ is still in

1607
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: our life. When when the Draft was just about to start,

1608
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: I happened to go to ESPN dot com, Robert kN

1609
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: DJ signing with the Seahawks was the fourth highest story

1610
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 1: in their new stack on their homepage, which is totally bizarre.

1611
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: It's because he fell out the window. The window, and

1612
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: that's why he everyone was always fascinated by more than

1613
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: these the first round bust. He was the guy that

1614
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: fell out the window. And it's not just a sports story.

1615
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Stick a pin in that all right, good stuff by

1616
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 1: the way, we we as you saw no doubt on

1617
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: social media if you're a fan of the show. Uh,

1618
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: Ricky had the great idea to go to Dodger Stadium. Me,

1619
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: Mark Ricky and m V p um met up with

1620
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: Lakisha and Link and what a great time that was.

1621
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 1: That was for links first game. Unfortunately the RESI didn't

1622
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: show up aid Gilch they got beat, But that was

1623
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: that was very nice and it was good to h

1624
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: to do. You haven't checked it out too. I would

1625
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: also go look at the Reds. What is it a onesie?

1626
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 1: I guess you could call it like the outfit that

1627
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: um Link was wearing was one of the coolest kid

1628
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: baseball get ups I've ever seen. What eyes, What a

1629
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: cute little boy he is. We had a great time

1630
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: with him. Let's get it together, Reds, you know, stop

1631
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: being such a disappointment. But well, they did take two

1632
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: or three from the domes. That was that was That

1633
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I think a good Uh. Seeing Link

1634
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: in the onesie two gave him the idea. It's it's

1635
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: too late for me, Not that I'd want to be

1636
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: the one wearing it, but if anybody's looking now that

1637
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: there's gonna be Halloween Park again for the twenties some things,

1638
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: which is a big deal. Uh, well, at least when

1639
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 1: I was in New York City. Um and I assume

1640
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 1: it's a big thing for the the youth post college youth.

1641
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Um A a an adult onesie and even wear the diaper,

1642
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: which actually, if you want to go all the way,

1643
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're drinking a lot, uh, wearing

1644
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: a diaper might actually if you really want to get

1645
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: the functional use of it, you could do that. Um,

1646
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: but you have the onesie and then you just dress

1647
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: like a baby in a onesie that feels like an

1648
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: absurd costume that would have some legs. I think if

1649
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: you're if you're a female, you'd also if you want

1650
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: to be a real baby, like get a baby's haircut

1651
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: or which I mean would make it, just make it real,

1652
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: because it's like girls are just like, oh, I'll dress

1653
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: like something else and just be a girl at a

1654
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: Halloween party. But like, let if you want to strike

1655
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: the real, realistic note, shave the head very clean um

1656
01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:00,719
Speaker 1: or have small baby hair on top of your head. Yeah,

1657
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: you definitely hit a hit something that's already been in

1658
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 1: Mark's mind and he's loving it. No, it's well now

1659
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: I like it as a it's a subversion too, because

1660
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,599
