Speaker 1: and jan Zeus also Bregg and Mark the checks in

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Kanzas in a virtual room filled with some heroes.

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler. It's in the books. The two

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: thousand twenty two NFL draft Hope season is that all

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: time high. Your team is better, maybe, but right now,

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: certainly it's easy to talk yourself into it. Greggy, how

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: did you feel about a draft that was very unlike

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: past drafts? In fact, we got into Round three with

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: only one quarterback off the board, uh one in the

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: first sixty seven picks. And that to me, when you

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: look back in five years beyond the players that are

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: gonna jump out here is how different this was from

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: other drafts that are QB mad, right, Like I thought

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: of that EJ. Manuel draft, But then you know you

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: have quarterbacks coming in the second round, guys who ended

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: up being being like long time starters, and this one

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: to go deep into the third round. I think it

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: had like a lot of Day two juice, a lot

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: of receivers we knew, the quarterbacks falling like again kind

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: of continuing Thursday's theme that like, this draft didn't have

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a lot of great storylines going into it, it kind

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: of delivered for the first couple of days and then

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: day three is always gonna be, um, just punching the

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: clock until I can see you guys. Yeah, da, Day

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: three is a chore. But it's it's interesting to me that, like,

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: there there was this initial reaction to the quarterbacks, you know,

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: months ago that the class is weak, and because there's

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: such a long build up until the actual process of

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: the draft, it swung back around where, uh, you know,

32
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: actually people are being too tough on this QB class,

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Like there are some players in here that can really

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: play me statistically, if you draft a quarterback outside around one,

35
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty grim. And there's a couple of

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: teams now that are, you know, in theory clinging to

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: the concept that some of these guys in the later

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: rounds could be their qbs of the future. History tells

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: us that that probably won't be the case. It was

40
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: sort of a self fulfilling prophecy because there's not many

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: teams with needs. I think that's maybe where we got

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: a little loss there was it was a good year,

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: would not have a great QB class in in the

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: sense that there weren't twelve teams, you know, dying for someone.

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: So we'll get into, you know, some of those quarterbacks

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: that did because even like two thousand thirteen class that

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Greg, I believe twelve quarterbacks came off the board.

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: I think this draft it was only six or seven

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: in that range, including Mr Irrelevant, which, by the way,

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: mark still here. I was wondering if this would be

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the year that that moniker would fade away, but it's

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: still here. It feels in an era of you know,

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: everyone must be celebrated and everyone is important, that it

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: would have slipped away. But I actually thought of you

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: when that pick was made, because for years you were

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: the designated Mr. Irrelevant post and I think you even

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: followed it up, covering the ceremony and other you know,

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: sid side shows all you wanted to do. No, I

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: never went to the parade. Well I don't mean that

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: you went to it, but you wipend an article. You know,

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: those years, those early years at Radio City Music Hall

62
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: with this company, you would have to wait until two

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: fifty six and then the old man he would shuffle out,

64
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: and then they do the whole ceremony, and then I

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: would be right the two word banger. I'm the guy

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: that probably won't make it out of the second week

67
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: of training camp. We'll hope this is hopefully this is

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: different for Brock Purty, quarterback out of Iowa State, who

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: was round seven pick two sixty two. DJ called him competitive, competitive, competitive.

70
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the other two sixty one picks,

71
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: not all of them, of course, But we'll also do

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: it in our own a t N way, which is,

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, who are the winners and losers, players, teams,

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: what have you connected to the giraffe. We also have

75
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: to check in on our go get my Lunch props

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: where I think I did as well as my New

77
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: York Jets this year, but I have not checked yet,

78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: but I'm looking forward to it. And also, of course,

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: this is the fine old Dan Hans shout out. Thank

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: you Paul Rod. This is the final episode with Ricky

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Hollywood behind the glass. Ricky, are you ready? This is it?

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm really sorry. You know, our former boss

83
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: Mark brady Um just sent me in text about three

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: minutes ago and said, have a great final show. Be

Speaker 1: are grateful for you, and we'll we'll talk about that

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the show. But yes, uh, our

88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: last go around with Ricky, let's make it me in

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: the F block. Alright, let's go. Well, we give you

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: a little like back end of the boat into the bump,

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: and now we're yeah, we're buried in the f It

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: keeps there's a subset of people that are only listening

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: for the Erica update, and it keeps them at least

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: people like, we're going to get the Tray McBride analysis first.

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, perfect, keep priorities in order. Let's go around

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the winners, because, like I said, this is an optimistic

97
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: time on the NFL calendars, So let's not get negative

98
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: right away. Let's be positive. Greg who's a big winner

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: out of the NFL draft. The Bills come to mind,

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: partly because they took the guy in James Cook in

101
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: the second round that I thought the NFL was overthinking

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: almost more than any player that that I happened to

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: look at closely, because when I saw James Cook, who's

104
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's brother, and everyone was like, well he's Dalvin,

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: He's like of Dalvin Cook, which, by the way, like

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: that sounds awesome when he moves. I bet he does.

107
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I bet he doesn't agree with that, but yeah, that's

108
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: the outsider convention. Yeah. Plus he's like literally because he's

109
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: twenty five, he's like twenty pounds less, and so that's

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: like the concern he's a smaller, but I think people

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: were saying he was kind of the poor man's guy.

112
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: But I watched him in the way he moves like

113
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: everyone's overthinking it. He moves exactly like Dalvin Cook. He

114
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: moves like an NFL running back. He can move in

115
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: type spaces, the lateral quickness, and he's awesome on third down.

116
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: And the fact that they didn't take Breesaw in the

117
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: first round UH, and they got a guy at the

118
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: end of the second round and James Cook that I

119
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: think is going to really improve Josh Allen's completion percentage.

120
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: They had two of the lowest ranked running backs by

121
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: PFF on passing downs UH in the NFL last year

122
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: in Devon Singletary and Zack Moss, and so it's such

123
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: a huge upgrade there. I like Kyrielam. I trust Sean

124
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: McDermott to develop cornerbacks. They haven't taken one that high

125
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: since they did it with trade Avious White back in

126
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: the first round uh in and Sean McDermott's first draft.

127
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: So just those like one two uh pieces to me,

128
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: like those are gonna go right into the starting lineup.

129
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: It's the team that I think the super Bowl favorite.

130
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: And when I saw that Cook pick, I was just like,

131
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be underrated in fantasy drafts, even if people

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: are kind of on him. He's the guy that I'm

133
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna want if I'm in those drafts because I think

134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna get six seventy catches. I think it's it's

135
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: bad news for Zack Moss, who was a favorite of

136
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: some draft nicks. Um Duke Johnson's on the roster too.

137
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: But you know we were we were people, you know,

138
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: doing their mocks and all that stuff. We were right

139
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: to the bulls the Bills needed a running back. But Dan,

140
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: you I think you ultimately won Sandwiches on the fact

141
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: that they would not go there in round one, as

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: they didn't, but they got their guy later on. And

143
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: it makes sense too, because, like like we're saying, there's

144
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: very few organizations that are run better right now than

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. So trust you're scouting, trust the process, fill

146
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: out that defense and that a secondary a little bit,

147
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: and then go get cooked. Because you've read the draft

148
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: the right way. You know, you're just really in good hands.

149
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: Um right now. If your Bills down, you're also in

150
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: good hands. By the way, another winner, since this is

151
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: adjacent to the Bills, Kyle Brandt, you know, friend of

152
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the show who NFL Network good guy, Kyle brand has

153
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: no Kyle has no excuse being such a good guy

154
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: because you know, he because he's so talented and handsome

155
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: and everything he could He could have been a jerk,

156
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: but instead he's like a really nice guy. So when

157
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: I see him doing well and doing things like he

158
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: did at the draft this weekend, I'm like, all right,

159
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: he did it. Damn Greg, all the guys, thanks got

160
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Let's check out him announcing the Bill's third round pick.

161
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Good evening, Las Vegas, Good even mean my brothers and

162
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: sisters on the NFL Network, and good evening, Western New York.

163
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: I find it perfect that the Bills are drafting in

164
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: this city of luck of chance, because you all know

165
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: and I know, the only thing in this world that

166
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: can stop Josh Allen is the flip of a coin.

167
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: So Mafia and every other fan base listen up, Chiefs, Fans,

168
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: Raiders fans, Bengals fans. In my hands, I hold the

169
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: most important pick of this entire round, because this pick

170
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: is the only pick who will win the Super Bowl

171
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: in his rookie year. With the eight ninth pick of

172
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, the Super Bowl fifties seven champion Buffalo

173
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: Bills select my man Zarrell Bernard, linebacker. Wow. Should be

174
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: noted that Kyle's bringing Zubas during that bill Zubas and

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: he takes a big chump out of a Buffalo wing

176
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: as he does a Rick Flair woo and heads upon

177
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: the stage. Sometimes, you know, if you're a man of

178
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: a certain age or woman who watched wrestling growing up

179
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties, Kyle brands one of those people. Yeah,

180
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: can I tell you a really quick, little Kyle Brandt

181
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: thing that I didn't really know him that when this happened.

182
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: But we had one of our media summits. Um was

183
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: probably four years ago, in June or something, And and

184
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: you're sitting in these conference rooms all day long, and

185
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: I moved to the back of the conference from one

186
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: point just to stand up, and I was by myself

187
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: and I saw Kyle Brandt from like long range away

188
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: look back and see that I was there. And he

189
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: got up just two in the quiet while someone was

190
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: giving some absurd speech to come back and talk to

191
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: me for two or three minutes. And it was like,

192
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that, like no one needs

193
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: to do so that Dan and Gregg and all the

194
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: guys thing. I forgive him that because I don't even

195
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: thinking to um, he's a good dude, and I forgot.

196
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, plus, they're the now. The Bills are like

197
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: the type of team that gets popped from Kyle brand

198
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: Like can you imagine that six years? Like they were

199
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: not that team. I forgot that while I was doing

200
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: my Bills run down. They also took the punt god,

201
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: who I was kind of gonna make. Whoever took the

202
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: punt got a winner. And it's like these are like

203
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: luxury picks you can make. You can take your third,

204
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: third down running back in the second round, and then

205
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: you got the punt god. Mattter reason seriously like that

206
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: is going to improve their team. I think more than

207
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: people would expect to suddenly go from a pretty average

208
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: punning situation or poor to the punt god. That's and

209
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: we'll get into that a little bit later. Because guys

210
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: that use their feet to make money in the NFL

211
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: uh to kick oblong balls really stood out in this

212
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: draft as well. How about a winner from you Mark

213
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Sessler for me? I mean, um, you know, I'm gonna

214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: hang off New York for a minute, but for both teams.

215
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to get to there. But it's

216
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I thought. Number one, you pull off the

217
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: trade for a J. Brown, which completely changes what you

218
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: can do on offense. You add him to last year's

219
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: draft pick DeVonta Smith, who was fascinating, and you've got

220
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Quiz Watkins. Um, Jalen Reagor might be out the door there,

221
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: but they have legit wide receiver weaponry in power now

222
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: and a J. Brown is a dominant game changer that somehow,

223
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, Howie Roseman pulls off these stunners and he

224
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: got this thing done. You didn't hear them connected over

225
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: and over. It just happened. And then they go get

226
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis, who you know, I may not be like.

227
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: I don't think Jordan Davis fits in a lot of defenses.

228
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: In two. But I do think he'll fit well with

229
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I mean it's like kind of who they

230
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: are and how they run that show, and he's a

231
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: he's a good fit for them. And then at eighty

232
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: three they went't gotten to Kobe Dean, which was like

233
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: that guy slid his The value there was great. So

234
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: I think if you're the Eagles and that's that's becoming

235
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: a bit of a nasty division because the Giants seemed

236
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: like they finally have real direction. They kind of remind

237
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: me of the Bills for obvious reasons. You got the Cowboys,

238
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: But the Eagles are not a team that's gonna fade.

239
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: I think they're growing in power and it's gonna be

240
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: really interesting to see how they read and what Jalen

241
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Hurts can accomplish in that offense with that new weapon

242
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: in a J. Brown. I totally agree with you. That

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: was gonna be my first winner as well. Um, they're

244
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: they're well run and you're seeing that with Jalen Hurts.

245
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: He's on a four year, six million dollar contract. So

246
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: they are a team that absolutely should be and have

247
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: been now aggressive to build up around Hurts as long

248
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: as they see him as the future, and they seem

249
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: to at least right now because they invest in a

250
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver and a very smart trade to

251
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: get an A. J. Brown. You're right, then give him

252
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: the one million dollar contract extension because you can. Because

253
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: of the quarterback situation, you don't target quarterbacks in this draft,

254
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: so you kind of clear the runway here for Hurts

255
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: and in general. Like yeah, and I don't know if

256
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: we hit on this or maybe we did, but in

257
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: passing on Thursday night from Vegas, but we know the

258
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Eagles track record with wide receivers and drafting Nelson Aghilar

259
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: in two thousand fifteen j j Arthega white Side, Jalen Reagor.

260
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: So go do it this way, bringing a guy that

261
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: you knows his stud They did a better job last

262
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: year um with Devanta Smith, you Dallas Goddard there, and

263
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: I just believe that this team is set up very well,

264
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Na Kobe Dean. Now we're hearing things about the chest

265
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: injury and teams were scared by the medical. I think

266
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna need surgery to miss the year, all right,

267
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: But you also hear that he's off the charts in

268
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: terms of his measurables and his explosiveness on the field,

269
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: and he could be a real difference maker. So that's

270
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: well worth um, the real well worth a chance there.

271
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: So he said, hell play. They said they expect them,

272
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: he said, he said, he's fully healthy, he expects to

273
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: be ready for mini camp. And his quote was things

274
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: that were not true cost me a lot of money.

275
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: So there's two signs of the story. His is that

276
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: he's healthy and ready to make an impact. And when

277
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: you look at the NFC East, I think you're right

278
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: about the Giants. They finally had um something to be

279
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: happy about. That was a great first round of this draft.

280
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: But there are a couple of years away. The Cowboys.

281
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: You never know what the Cowboys. Obviously, Washington is kind

282
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: of a mess. And then you have the Eagles, who

283
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: seem like they're gonna be a very buzzy, trendy pick

284
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: to win the NFC East and I buy into it.

285
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be right there. And one little

286
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: thing with the Eagles because one of the reasons that

287
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson parted ways with them, you know, there was

288
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: that ownership basically said we're in a rebuild, and Doug

289
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Peterson didn't want that direction necessarily and they wanted someone

290
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: that did. He was piste Off and you know he's

291
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: in a new place, but that wasn't five years ago.

292
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Like some teams when you rebuild, it's like welcome to

293
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: a year thirteen of the seventies seven, you were rebuilding

294
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: plan right that their rebuild is they were a low

295
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: level wild card team and this year they're very much

296
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: a hot property. And they also think I had really

297
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: well the second round pick, Cam Jurgen's is basically a

298
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: guy for Jason Kelsey to mentor for a year. Kelsey

299
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: mentioned he's a character and he's a student of the

300
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: game that that he thought Jurgen's was one of his

301
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: favorite center prospects that come out in three to five years.

302
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: He's kind of like, I want to be Kelsey And so, okay,

303
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: you have this idea that money and an their analytics

304
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: and there there is any analytically driven as any team

305
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: tells them to get huge men like they take linemen,

306
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: and I know, I know Jergens is small for kay

307
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: like defensive lineman like Jordan Davis, but also offensive lineman.

308
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: And then they also got an interesting quarterback prospect as

309
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent m J D s guy Carson Strong,

310
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: which at least some people liked as the fifth or

311
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: sixth quarterback in this class. He ended up going undrafted

312
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: because people believe he has a degenerative knee, which is

313
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: obviously a concern, but they took a couple of big swings, uh,

314
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: and maybe he ends up being like a long term

315
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: back up there. Um, I'll throughout another winner here and

316
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: Graver or jump on here, because you could use this.

317
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: The Tight were not a winner and night one, but

318
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I thought they were a winner after

319
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: two and three. Not overall, I still think on balance

320
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: it's not a great but I'm just saying they were

321
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: a winner after Thursday night, Okay, because the Malik Willis

322
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: move was something that we've talked about heading into Thursday.

323
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: That made a lot of sense for the Titans to

324
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: hang back a little bit and then get that quarterback

325
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: that they could develop behind the scenes and eventually replace

326
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, who's sneaky getting up there in age. He's

327
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: only got two years left on his deal. He is

328
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: who he is at this point, and yet I don't

329
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: think many Titans fans Maybe Graver, you disagree or whatever,

330
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: but UM thought that that guy would be Malik Willis

331
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: because we thought that that player would probably be taken

332
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: by this point and we know how the quarterback situation

333
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: played out in this draft. So now you've got Malik

334
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: Willis in the building. Tannehill is still going to be

335
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: the starter, but you have someone there that can potentially

336
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: juice the offense and the organization as a whole if

337
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: he takes hold as a prospect, So you could then

338
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: spend that. Okay, So they had a smart move there,

339
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: and then you look at the A. J. Brown move

340
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, were they being a little cheap

341
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: or did they just not set up the team the

342
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: right way? Maybe, but in the pick that they used

343
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: Burke's to replace A J. Brown, trust your ability to

344
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: develop him and then you're gonna have that flexibility financially

345
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: down the line to strike in a different way. So

346
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: I thought that Malik Willis addition was a way that

347
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: a salvage the draft weekend in some ways for the Titans.

348
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Yeah, I'm I'm stoked for Milik Willis. I

349
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: think he has so much upside And with the A J.

350
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: Brown stuff, it's weird because when they when you hear

351
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: John Robinson and Mike were ab'll talk about the situation.

352
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: It's like they just seemed so far apart. And there's

353
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: a lot going around, like he said, he said, she said.

354
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: A J. Brown wanted this much. The agents wanted the

355
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: Titans to offer this much. A J. Said he he

356
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: would have done it for twenty two a year, and

357
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: the Titans offered sixteen a year. There's but but there's

358
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: a lot of like weird math going on with that

359
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: because some of those averages include the four million dollars

360
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: he was set to make this year, and some of

361
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: them down and like apparently the agent asked the Titans

362
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: for eighty million guaranteed and then cut off communication. And like,

363
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't blame a J. Brown for any of this.

364
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: It's all the agents trying to get the most for

365
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: their guy and whatever. But it is what it is.

366
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: A J. Brown's gone Malik Willis though. I mean, it's

367
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: potentially a new era of Titans football. And they actually

368
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: ended up drafting a running back, a wide receiver obviously,

369
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: Traylon Burke's a tight end from Maryland. In a tackle

370
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: like by four when Derrick Henry's moved on and Ryan

371
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: Tannehills moved on and Taylor the one's moved on. If

372
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: all these picks hit, which is a huge, huge if.

373
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: Obviously in the draft, the Titans could have like grabbed

374
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: huge core pieces for an offense moving forward. It's kind

375
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: of my point that, like the headline for this draft,

376
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: and it should be because it was one of the

377
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: biggest headlines period, is that another superstar wide receivers on

378
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the move. But there were some signs of optimism to

379
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: come out of Nashville as well. I would like I

380
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: had winners losers, and I put the Titans in a

381
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: in a push category because I think Malik Willis is

382
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: about as spicy as an as a pick they could

383
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: as they could have had coming off the A J.

384
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Brown thing, But Traylan Burke's you're hoping he can be

385
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: some version of A J. Brown. Uh, you're hoping these

386
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: other pieces are there. But there are suddenly a team

387
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: in transition because we're looking beyond Derrick Henry, We're looking

388
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: beyond Ryan Tannehill. So it's a mystery land. I mean,

389
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: it's not a short thing, right, And they they only

390
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: believe in Malik Willis so much. He was their fourth pick.

391
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: He was their second third round pick. They did trade

392
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: him for him, Yeah, they traded up at that point

393
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: once he was still there at eighty six. But they

394
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, they valued Nicholas petite Frere, the tackle from

395
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State, which sounds like a name that Mark made up.

396
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: Um just like in general, they valued him a lot higher.

397
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, they took him sixteen spots before, so it's

398
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: partly circumstance. I love Willista's upside. It was interesting, you know,

399
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: I felt really bad for him and for Ritter. You

400
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: really saw on the coverage on Friday night that these

401
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: guys are used as content essentially um by by us,

402
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: by the TV networks over the last three months, and

403
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: that's like part of the price of playing quarterback. But

404
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: really they were used in a way that was was

405
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: probably unfair to those two guys, like they have a

406
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: lot on their shoulders that like Nicolas petite Frere who

407
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: went sixteen picks above them and probably got to enjoy

408
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: that night in a different way UM don't have. And

409
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: they were they were disappointed. I mean Ritter, Ritter looked

410
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: determined like he was part happy, part part pissed. And

411
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Malik Willis you could tell the emotional um journey. He

412
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: must have been on watching that whole draft, pick by pick,

413
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: we're at pick number two. He thought he had a chance,

414
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: uh to go maybe that like an outside chance and

415
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: he was waiting all the way to eight six. And

416
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: I don't think any anyone's a bad guy for it.

417
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: But it's just part of the deal. R. I don't like.

418
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't buy into the take their personally

419
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: because the take that they feel quarterbacks that got used

420
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: saying I feel bad, I'm saying they go through a

421
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: lot more ultimately, and they're carrying a lot of the

422
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: coverage in a way that other players. The bad side

423
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: of the quarterback also gets uh disportion disportion amount of

424
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: the praise when things go well. And yeah, maybe they

425
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: got used by the draft industrial complex and then ultimately

426
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: we're not valued on on the early part of the draft.

427
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: But also you know that being speculated and being talked about,

428
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: maybe that put that that could put some players on

429
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: the radar of a team that that weren't studying a

430
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: player as much when the process plays out. I think

431
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: it cuts both ways. Imagine like imagine if they were

432
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: your buddies. I mean, they're just like humans. They're going.

433
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: They're going through a lot that's that's unique, and I

434
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: don't think it quite existed twenty years ago. Like like

435
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: you you saw the look on his face. We've seen

436
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: that a thousand times, right, And I just think in

437
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: in two with social media and everything, it's a little

438
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: different getting dropped to the third round where you're like

439
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: you you basically were an afterthought. And and uh, I

440
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I also disagree with the idea that this was a

441
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: good situation for Willis, which I've seen set a lot

442
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: like Titans good organization. He's not gonna have to play

443
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: right away. I get that, but it's like the offensive

444
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: line is terrible. They just lost a J. Brown. If

445
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: I was coming up with a big loser list, like

446
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: Tannehill was a loser this weekend because he lost a J.

447
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: Brown And they still got a lot of needs there.

448
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: So maybe it works out for Willis. I like the

449
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the organization, but uh, it's not like

450
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: he has an easy situation. Tell you, one thing I'm

451
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: not buying at all is this idea that Ryan Tannehill

452
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: is gonna, you know, quietly tutor and Nestle Malik Willis

453
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: all season if they get out to a one in

454
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: three start, and his play is chaotic. Malik Willis is

455
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: not is the kind of person that, again the media

456
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: and everyone in Nashville is gonna say, we need to

457
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: see him now because if their offensive line is giving

458
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill fits and he's mobile, but Malik Willis is

459
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a dazzling guy on the ground who can

460
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: escape trouble. I think there's gonna be an outcry for

461
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: him the minute they hit Stormy Waters. Interesting take, Greg,

462
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: It's quarterback is the most high profile position in the

463
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: most popular sport in the country, and there's just a

464
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: lot that goes with being a quarterback, even in high school,

465
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: the big man on campus. Like there's just the there's

466
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: pressure and there's scrutiny that that position invites more than

467
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: any other position in any realm outside of like you know,

468
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: golf or tennis or single sports like that. It's just

469
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a it's a tough gig. You

470
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: gotta be tough. You have to say, is how could

471
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: you not feel just like the humanity humanity because like

472
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: here's the he had to like had to transfer just

473
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: to go to Liberty because he because basically his college

474
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: career wasn't working out, and normally it'd be this joyous

475
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: thing and you just feel you just feel like the

476
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: weight of what the last few months are on him. Well,

477
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: no one predicted he would dip as far as he did.

478
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: I get what Greg is saying that. It's not like

479
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, not of those other guys are

480
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: leading NFL network day after day. If you don't think

481
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: that could have impact, Like a twenty year old twenty

482
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: year on year old kids just sort of outlook and

483
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: it's just a lot. That's it didn't help me. Nino

484
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: Smith going around two and it was he like his

485
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: little turtle neck and looked furious. You know, is the

486
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: best quarterback out of that class? Bow right now? I mean,

487
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: what what a class? Uh? He thought we were cleaning too.

488
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: At this point, Greg, you're you're you're highly desperate. What

489
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: about me? I had that run in Tampa. I was like, no, sorry, Mike,

490
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: I think what kind of cornerback marches out in a

491
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: turtle neck? By the way, I think that was that

492
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: was a problem, right. It was classy sweater of some kind.

493
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: As I recall, he had to be convinced to come back.

494
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: He wasn't even gonna come back for day two. I

495
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: remember that we covered that. Um, all right, that kind

496
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: of point, wasn't there. Yeah, I don't think where was Will?

497
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: It was confusing. He was there. He was in Vegas somewhere,

498
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think he was at the draft still,

499
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: all right? Did was that your loser? Greg? Did you?

500
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: Does that count as a loser? Or well? Now let's

501
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: go another. Let's do a winner. I mean it is

502
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: do another winner. I'll do um. I'll do a quick one,

503
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: which is just like Kyler Murray Um getting his boy,

504
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown. We learned more about that story that Marcus

505
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: Brown had asked for the trade way back in February.

506
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: These guys are are close, not just teammates, but close friends.

507
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: We're hoping that would happen. I just think like it

508
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: it kind of shows who's wearing the pants. They're like,

509
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: they went and got Kyler Murray's friend basically to like

510
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: make the situation better. I just think like, Okay, you

511
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: have this little you have this stance, and everything's calmed down,

512
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: and they're kind of doing what they can to make

513
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: you happy. And oh, by the way, with our first pick,

514
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: we're also gonna take Trey McBride um tight end out

515
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: of Colorado State. You probably has like the most physical

516
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: gifts of any of the tight ends in this class.

517
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 1: So it's just kind of like, Okay, we're gonna try

518
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: to help out Kyler as much as we can and

519
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: make them changed. It seemed, and that when we were

520
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: doing the report on when that tweet storm came out,

521
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: something happened at Arizona, and all of a sudden He's like, I,

522
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere, so I'm winning a ring in Arizona.

523
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: And then the GM I believe, came out with the statements.

524
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, some fences were mended, but at the same time,

525
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: it's still lingers because the contract has not been rectified yet,

526
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: at least on the on the public side of things.

527
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: We don't know. Maybe there's been some positive advancements behind

528
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: the scenes. It was just a little quick e one. Alright,

529
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: how about another one? Mark, I would go with the Steelers.

530
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: Now I think this there's a there's a big if

531
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: here because it requires Kenny Pickett to be more than

532
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: just an adequate patch to the next quarterback. But if

533
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: he works, it seems like, you know, he's someone that

534
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: you could he'll start week one if he's gonna win

535
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: the battle, and you in theory, if it works, it's

536
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: a great story because obviously, you know he's practicing where

537
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers practiced through his whole college career. It's the

538
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: I think there was probably some there's narrative around. You know,

539
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: they passed on Dan Marino generations ago. They didn't this time.

540
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: But on top of that, um Kevin Colbert, I think

541
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, we've known that he is among all the

542
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: gms for all these guys that cannot hit wide receivers,

543
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: he keeps sitting on wide receivers. And to get George

544
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Pickens at number fifty two and then they got called

545
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin who had a four three two forty at

546
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: the combine. They've restopped at that position and there are

547
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: a different offense right now if these things work. But

548
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 1: it's it's something about the Steelers. It's like they've had

549
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, three coaches, uh, you know, they're so consistent.

550
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: They've had like four quarterbacks in the last four years.

551
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: Like maybe Picket if he flies. This thing is the

552
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: Steelers are are out of the mud. We're in lockstep here.

553
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Cessiler because that was gonna be my next winner as well.

554
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: I had Kenny Pickett specifically as a winner because he's

555
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: he's joining a Tiffany franchise. Like you said, he's been

556
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: practicing in the same facility, uh in his college years

557
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: for years. That team knows him like nobody else knows him.

558
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: And then you have the situation with that depth chart

559
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: and Mitch Drabinsky and we all know what Mitch Robinski

560
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: is at this point. I think there's a lot of

561
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: smoke about Mitch Drabinsky maybe having this like second chapter

562
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 1: to his career where he takes off. But I think

563
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: the more likely scenario is he's going to struggle to

564
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: win this camp job. And you know what, Mike Tomlin

565
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of backed up that thought process when they asked

566
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: him about it. Yeah, he certainly has a chance. And

567
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: I agree with that sentiment that of his readiness from

568
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: a professional perspective, we felt he came ready made in

569
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: those ways and hopefully that's an asset to him in

570
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: terms of being able to compete and being being ready. Um,

571
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: if performers dictates they like him, it's very clear that

572
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: this and obviously they like him, I mean they drafted

573
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: him in the first round, but they I think they

574
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: think very highly of him in a in a way

575
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: that's going to lead to a legitimate chance to win

576
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: this job right out the gate. I totally agree they

577
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: That interview convinced me more than anything. I mean, he's

578
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: about to turn twenty four, and I think that's part

579
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: of the reason they took him is they see him

580
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: as a guy who can play for them so that

581
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: they can go win games this year. Really sounded like

582
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: that and that in that um in that interview, and

583
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: then George Pickens was the guy to me that it

584
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: was like Colbert playing all his hits. I'm gonna wait

585
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: for my quarterback to follow me. I'm gonna take the

586
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: talented UH receiver with off field issues that falls too

587
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: far or weird questions like Chase Claypoo wasn't an off

588
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: field guy, but people just almost didn't know what to

589
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: do with him because of a position. UH and you

590
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: take him late in the second Mike Wallace, Martavis, Bryant,

591
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders was a clean prospect as a

592
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: third round pick, but like all these guys in the

593
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: second and third round, and he's nailed him and when

594
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: I watched them all, I thought Pickens is the most

595
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: talented receiver in this class. And and DJ told me

596
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: the the off field stuff with his attitude and stuff,

597
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: completely took him off a lot of teams boards, and

598
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: that was like a huge question. But this is where

599
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: if you have a guy like Mike Tomin and you

600
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: run a great organization, maybe your county on that to

601
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: help develop this guy. Because he looks like a number

602
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: one I would be afraid if I was a f

603
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: C North cornerbacks against him. Yeah, watch him be the

604
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 1: most productive wide receiver at any of these guys they

605
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: just had. Their track record is so proven. But of

606
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: course for that to happen, these things are all in tandem.

607
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: They need to figure out the quarterback situation. We shall

608
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: see if the kid can play the guitar um another winner. Listen,

609
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: I'll try not to dwell on it because everyone else

610
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: has been talking about it, and you don't need to

611
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: hear me talking about the Jets all the time. But

612
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: the Jets had a big draft and Zack Wilson was

613
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: the big winner. And if you want to look at

614
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: so many there's a lot of reasons why Sam Donald

615
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been a successful pro and a lot of that

616
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: is on him, and he's gonna maybe get one last

617
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: chance to prove himself this year. Maybe he doesn't as

618
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: a starter, but one of the big reasons he was

619
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: set back was bad coaching and a bad supporting cast

620
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: and a major fault failure by Big Mac Mike mccagnan

621
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: UH to build up an offense around him in his

622
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 1: early years. And they've done the opposite with Zach Wilson.

623
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 1: We know they went and got Vera Tucker with him

624
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: in the draft class last year, which he profiles as

625
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: a potential Pro Bowl guard. And then you know, they

626
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: go and get a big time wide receiver potentially here

627
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: Um at Ohio State Wilson. Then you come back and

628
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: you trade up in the third round, second round, and

629
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: you get the guy that everyone thinks has a chance

630
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: to be the best running back in this class, Um

631
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Breece Hall. So I I just think that when you

632
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: look at Bryce Hall, when you get the chance to

633
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: look at what they have now UH in their starting offense,

634
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. You're gonna have Michael Carter, who was

635
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: a very promising running back last year, teamed with Hall

636
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Running a scheme Shanahan scheme that is

637
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: gonna play to their strengths. They're gonna be a good

638
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: duo if they stay healthy. Wilson, Elijah Moore, who's under

639
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: the radar a little bit as a guy I think

640
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: could have a huge breakout season in year two if

641
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, Corey Davis, who's their big body on

642
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: the outside. They completely redid their tight end room with

643
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: Usama Uh and UH and they also drafted another tight

644
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: end in Day three. The offensive line is in good

645
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: shape ape It's all there, and I think that's there's

646
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna be some built in pressure once again. The quarterback

647
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: is always going to be the lights shining on the

648
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: quarterback more than any other player. And I think what's

649
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen here is the Jets now have built a

650
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: core on offense for for sure, and maybe on defense

651
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: now where they need results after eleven years outside the playoffs,

652
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: and I think if Wilson doesn't take that step, I

653
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: could see them acting aggressively UH to move on next year.

654
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: I think I think they're going to be looking at

655
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: this situation as if he fails this year, they're gonna say, oh,

656
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: we're a quarterback away from being a playoff team again,

657
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: so he needs to step up. I feel good about it.

658
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a Zach Wilson is Good T shirt right now,

659
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: so that should tell you that I'm part of a

660
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: movement underground amongst Jets Nation. But he's got to do it.

661
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: He's got to take advantage of what is a really

662
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: nice bounty for him right now. I like that you're

663
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: manifestation here. You're manifesting the concept that Zach Wilson can play.

664
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: And we were talking about that as we were walking

665
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: through the Bellaggio after our our Round one show. That way,

666
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: Saturday is a full moon mark and you know about

667
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: this like it's a full, real big new moon. So today,

668
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: if you do want to manifest anything, today's the day. Saturday.

669
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: You're turning into a crazy old cat lady. And I

670
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: I'd believe you, like I think I can't. I'm trying

671
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: to imagine during are the time that we've done this show,

672
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: because there hasn't been. Really you have to go back

673
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: to Rex Ryan's opening press conference where a forty eight

674
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: hour period um had such a positive effect on the

675
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: concept of what the Jets are. Because now you're hearing

676
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: like competent, organized, finding value, cohesiveness, and like the roster

677
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: is changing. I mean it's been all those things have

678
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: been attached to other teams, every other team and other sports,

679
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: and in the NFL other than the New York Jets,

680
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: they've had their free agency moments. There's certainly excitement about

681
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: Donald coming into year two. But this is the best

682
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: looking roster as a whole. I think the defense is

683
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: actually ahead of the offense, and and maybe that's just

684
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen it with the quarterback. To me,

685
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: the defense is rock solid. Like I love that defensive line.

686
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: You add in Johnson, who to me feels like a

687
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: safe if nothing else picked. They said they would have

688
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: taken him at ten if Wilson wasn't there. Uh, you

689
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: have Carl Lawson coming back, Quen and William Sheldon, Rankin's

690
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: John Franklin Myers. Like that is a good group. Really,

691
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: there's not huge holes on this roster other than quarterback.

692
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: And you've got to see the old line actually do it.

693
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: Um Jack Wilson's just got to prove it. But I

694
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: just I'm with you. I think they had an awesome

695
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: and Wilson and Beckton, Uh, they made it, they made

696
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: in it, and I know they took alignment later in

697
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: the draft. But McKay Beckton reports to the team, which

698
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't done yet, and is in shape and is motivated.

699
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: That changes that offensive line. If he doesn't, that could

700
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: set up Zack Wilson for struggles as well. So I'll

701
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: just leave it at this. Two things. One um, when

702
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: I left the hotel at the Bellagio yesterday and I

703
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: had this, like Ratty Jim had this Jets hat in

704
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: my bag and I put it on, and then I

705
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: was walking through the lobby and I was like, I

706
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: was walking through the lobby with pride, all the all

707
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: the all the fan bases around. I was like, in

708
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: their jerseys and everything, and I was like, yeah, I'm

709
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: wearing this Jets hat, and yeah, you could mock me.

710
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't care. Oh, this is when the Jets win

711
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: their Super Bowl. Fine, whatever, But but people don't understand

712
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: there's been so many years where the Jets have also

713
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: dropped the ball here in this month, in this draft, uh,

714
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: in this setting, and it didn't happen this year. In fact,

715
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: the number two headline at ESPN dot Com earlier this

716
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: afternoon read new York Jets brass downplays unfamiliar praise for

717
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: NFL draft class. So it's a weird feeling. It's a

718
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: fun feeling, and it's one where you're really excited about

719
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: what can happen here. So much hinges on whether Zach

720
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: Wilson is good that he was like he was almost

721
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: specially bad rookie quarterback, which we danced around a little bit.

722
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: But it was one of the worst rookie quarterback seasons

723
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: of the last deck. And it wasn't like mid level

724
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: rookie struggling. It was at the game after he came

725
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: back from his injury. I would he ended the season

726
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: fairly well, but it was really bad, one of his

727
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: worst games. But I also think, Um, I don't know,

728
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what I think, and I think you

729
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: have a lot to be excited about. Cut to McKay

730
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: Beckton on an easy chair with a giant bag of

731
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: cool ranch to Rito's weighing five pounds. I know what

732
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, Dan though, Um, what was

733
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: the answer? What was the answer to Sauce Gardner's question

734
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to you? Which was off Mike Unfortunately, as he left

735
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: the set, he had an important question for you. He

736
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: kind of started walking away after a pleasant conversation with him,

737
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: and he stopped and he looked it turned and looked

738
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: at me. But he's like, so, who's the biggest Jets fan?

739
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: You were Rich Rich Eysen. It is a good question.

740
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't know where I know Rich is legit. I

741
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: know Rich is a native New Yorker. He grew up

742
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: in Long Eye, Landon and he's certainly well known within

743
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: NFL network. Is being a Jet supporter, it would be

744
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: fun like trivia. You're you're as big a fan for

745
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: one teams in terms of especially riding that wave is

746
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: it is just about anyone I know along with Mark,

747
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: I'm certainly more lost steps So Dan like he had

748
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: a skid, a very passionate speech on NFL network. I

749
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: just wanted the leg table legs that you've just mentioned.

750
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: So I like when you I asked, I wanted you

751
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: to say it because whenever you repeated Sauce Gardner's question,

752
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: you make him sound like a Sopranos extra for some reason,

753
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: like he's already got the jersey accident. All right, Uh,

754
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: let's do a loser. We gotta keep it real here,

755
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: you know, Greg, go ahead, I got a couple show.

756
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the meaner one just because whatever I

757
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: Mark's gonna do mine anyway, So little be fine. But

758
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: right I kind of one of ours is probably we

759
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: probably share one, so I'll skip I'll skip him. I'm

760
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Jaguars. I know it's lame, but

761
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: I feel like they got the number one over. I'll

762
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: picking the wrong year after getting in the right year.

763
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: You know, it was a generational prospect, you know, Trevor Lawrence,

764
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: but you got in the wrong year. You got a

765
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: guy that's like you could make the argument fifteen different

766
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: guys could have been a better prospect than than Trayvon

767
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: Walker pretty easily. Uh, And it felt like an organization

768
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: I just don't give the benefit of the doubt, and

769
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't buy into the whole like idea that it's

770
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: healthy to have disagreements. Um, when you have a first

771
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: year head coach and the GM who's fired about five

772
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: different coaches, and an owner with the history, it just

773
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: it just keeps seeming like this is what bad organizations do.

774
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll prove me wrong. And then I didn't like

775
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: the process of trading back into the first round and

776
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: giving up a decent amount to give to get a

777
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: like a twenty three year old off ball linebacker. Again,

778
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: it's like, who knows, Devin Lloyd might be amazing. It

779
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: comes down to like being right about these players. But

780
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars aren't right too often. And most teams when

781
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: they really believe in something, you know, they believe too

782
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: much in their ability to scout better than other teams,

783
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: and most it's just hard to do that. So giving

784
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: up that much for that low octing of a position

785
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: when you had a guy like Miles Jack, for instance,

786
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: and you just gave fifteen million dollars a year to

787
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: guy Deveandre Campbell playing a similar position. So I didn't

788
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: love I didn't love it. Considering they had the one pick, well,

789
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: I get it. I get that they were just in

790
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: a tough spot. Like you're saying, this was a bad

791
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: year to have the first pick. It was reported after

792
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night that the phone never rang, It never happened.

793
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: No team ever wanted to be in that pick because

794
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: it was just the way it was set up. The

795
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: one case you can make, and this is obviously what

796
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: they're banking on here is there was so much talk

797
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: about smoke about Aidan Hutchinson and whether he was a

798
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: guy that was a very productive college player and will

799
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: be a productive pro. But he's not going to be special,

800
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: Like he's a guy that whatever this means, I don't

801
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: even know what this means, but it got set Allie.

802
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: He's already peaked. I don't what he's going into his

803
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: first year and professional football, but I guess I understand

804
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: that he's not going to grow as a player. Um

805
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: they're saying Trayvon Walker. The understanding is, yes, it's a

806
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: bit of more of a dart throw, but he if

807
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: he hits, he could be a superstar. And that's they

808
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: had to. I guess they just they're in Vegas and

809
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: they played the hand that they were dealt and they're

810
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: going in big. Yeah. I meant to say Foyer Alican

811
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: by the way, I said deve Andre Campbell as the

812
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: ex Falcons Johnantbacker. Uh that they that they signed they

813
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: went with Balkis dream scenario, Like that's that's a total

814
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: balky cutout pick right there, and like you've got to

815
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: hope that the Jaguars have the right GM. I have not.

816
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: They just did so much this offseason and yet I

817
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's that good of a situation around Lawrence. Like,

818
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: compare them to the Jets. They're both rebuilding. The Jaggers

819
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: have had a lot of picks over the last couple

820
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: of years. They would have liked to have more picks

821
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: this year. I like the situation a lot better around

822
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, for instance, than I do around I spent

823
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: like a billion dollars on draft picks over the last

824
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: ten years. I mean, it's absurd. I agree that Wilson

825
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: is set up better right now, but I also I

826
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: haven't changed my feeling. I think Lawrence is still a

827
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: huge talent here and it's gonna be interesting to see

828
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: with him and in a professional environment, like he might

829
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: take a big leap, everything changes for them. All right,

830
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: how about a loser and Mark, I'll let you know

831
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: if it was the one I was gonna say, well,

832
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: I would go justin Fields. Um. I it's it's not

833
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: because we just talked about Zack Wilson. We don't. We

834
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: don't know that Zack Wilson can do it, but there's

835
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: certainly putting him in the best possible position. And you

836
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: see that in general with rookie quarterbacks when you get

837
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: that guy. There should be the push to do everything.

838
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: The Bears are overtly uh, you know, taking a step back,

839
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: a couple of steps back to rebuild, and I don't

840
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: think that's necessarily a bad thing. But the problem is

841
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: you're losing, you know, time on Justin Field's rookie contract,

842
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure with what they did in this

843
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: draft that we're really in a scenario where we're gonna

844
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: have him make a big step forward based on what

845
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: they've done in free agency, which is really quiet their

846
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: first two today, or a cornerback in Kyler Gordon, a

847
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: safety and Jakwon Brisker. That's fine. I mean, you're you

848
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: have a defensive head coach, which I also find slightly

849
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: problematic when you're attached to the face of the franchise

850
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: in Justin Fields that took a wide out in VELAs

851
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: Jones in the third round out of Tennessee. But in general,

852
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: if you look at from week seventeen until now, very

853
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: little has happened to really put Justin Fields in a

854
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: great position for year two. Because we'll say, we just

855
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: think that Trevor Lawrence can do it. We we have

856
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: a lot of faith that Zack Wilson is good, but

857
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily feel that around justin fields. In the

858
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: situation he's been put in, it's kind of like he's

859
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: on an island with an offense that didn't grow and

860
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of pieces missing on both sides, the ball

861
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: heading into a rebuild, and it's like, this is not

862
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: where you want a rookie quarterback to be because you

863
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: could be in year three or four and not really

864
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: have an idea of what he is. It's a good one,

865
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: mark it, I mean, and in the experience coaching staff

866
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: Luke Getz is his offensive Cordner. This is why you

867
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: don't waste the rookie year on a coaching staff. You're

868
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: probably gonna fire either because now it feels like you're right.

869
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: This feels like they're just starting the rebuild and it's

870
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: his second year, right, so we'll see if he could

871
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: find a way to It wasn't. It wasn't. I hadn't

872
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: even the Bears. I remember in the same episode last

873
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: year the Bears were a winner, and I can almost

874
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: remember exactly what either I said. I don't know who

875
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: one of us said. It was just like the Bears.

876
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: Finally there's some juice in that building now with justin

877
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: fields there and something to get excited about finally, But

878
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: you're right by keeping Naggy that kind of I don't know,

879
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: it just threw some gunk into the machine and then

880
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: you finally sweep him out in all his cronies, and

881
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: now you're starting over and rebuilding the entire roster. And meanwhile,

882
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: you know year two is probably gonna be a big

883
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: time up uphill climb, and then all of a sudden

884
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: it's in year three and you're like, okay, or be

885
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 1: making progress now it does. Actually it feels a little

886
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: bit alike the Donald Path in New York where they

887
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: had um first they had bowls are at the end,

888
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: and they got rid of him for after a year

889
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: and then hired the wrong guy in Gaze, and all

890
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden it was just like, this whole thing

891
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: is a mess. So hopefully that's not where things are

892
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: for Chicao. Do you like that Matt Nigi has cronies

893
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: surrounding him? That's well, I just with them that one

894
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 1: night at the COMBA. I looked at their depth chart

895
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be getting that projected starters series underway

896
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: at some point. That might that I don't know them

897
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: in Atlanta might be the to Wurst rosters right now.

898
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: I think in the league, I think cronies. Uh it's

899
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: it's an informal noun often used in a derogatory sense,

900
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: but the actual translation or definition is a close friend

901
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: or companion. Yeah. I don't think that I'm going more

902
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: towards that, right, like political henchman, you know, surrounding like

903
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: an evil governor or something. Yeah. All right, um see

904
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: now I don't even want to do this one. You know,

905
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: I take the obvious one. I feel like I don't

906
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: want to do this one because I thought I Greg

907
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: was not gonna let me have my moment with the

908
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: Jets and come in with a bunch of negativity, take

909
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: some digs, and now I got to talk about this. Uh,

910
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: the loser being the Patriots mystique factor. Dan, it's your

911
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: last chance to take a dig at Erica before on

912
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots front. So I just wanted to market this

913
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: is pretty often on common on draft day. I would say,

914
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: they've had a lot of drafts like that. I just

915
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: want you to know, this is not me. This is

916
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: not a you know, an attack on you on any level.

917
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: It's just more, let's discuss the NFL. It never is,

918
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: it never is, so we know what happened, We know

919
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: what happened with always remember that Erica's final first round

920
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: pick with this show was Cold Strange, the twenty nine

921
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: pick guard out of Tennessee Chattanooga and in general at

922
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: the pats um this is their last six first round

923
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: picks for the record, Dominique easily, Malcolm Brownsea Win, Sony Michelle, Nikkil,

924
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: Harry mac Jones. That group, there's just one Pro Bowl appearance.

925
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: One Pro Bowl appearance of that group. It was didn't

926
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: get about a D and twenty yards to win the

927
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl from Sony Michelle. Never check that away from them. Um,

928
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: So they have not drafted well at the top UH

929
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: in several years now. But now Tom Brady's gone, so

930
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: all this stuff is more vital to hit on these drafts.

931
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: So Strange is taken. And now cut to Ram's house.

932
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's going on with the Rams

933
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: this offseason. I understand, I love and I like their

934
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: off season. I like that the roster feels like it's

935
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: in a good place and I think there, you know,

936
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: obviously still being run in a sound manner. But I

937
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 1: think the party is like going on over there. They're

938
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: taking lap after lap. It does Yeah, it does not

939
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: seem like they things have slowed down since the victory parade.

940
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: And when Sean McVeigh unless needs showed up for their

941
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: end of round one late Thursday night press conference, it

942
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: wasn't even that late in l a um they were

943
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: feeling no pain. Reported Listen, I've felt no pain and

944
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: kind of like you, I feel like you could tell

945
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: them you just know. Sometimes you just know. And this

946
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: is how they found out in real time that cold Strange,

947
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: picked by many to be a mid round pick, was

948
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: off the board to the Pats in round one. You really,

949
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: oh my U t chattuga to the first round? Hey,

950
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: where is how about that? And we wasted our time

951
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: watching him thinking he'd be at one oh four. Maybe

952
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: listen to the gales of laughter. You know what, Hubris

953
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: is a dangerous thing, and I felt a little element

954
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: of hubers totally. I feel that mark And you know

955
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: what else I feel. I feel Sean McVeigh waking up

956
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: in the morning, as you know, we've all had those

957
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: mornings too, after a night of drinking and carousing, and

958
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: he not you of course, and he it was probably

959
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: he was probably helped along by some PR people. It

960
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: was like, you better get out in front of this

961
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: bro and kiss the ring, kiss the six rings or

962
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: what does Belichick said, he's got nine rings or whatever?

963
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: Kiss all the rings. And this is what McVeigh said

964
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: twenty four hours later with a headache. Most likely. Yeah.

965
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: What I would add to that is I think, um,

966
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, I wish that it wouldn't have gotten misunderstood.

967
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: It was more of a reflection of I was actually

968
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: given less, you know, hard because because when we started

969
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: watching him, I think we both were in agreement there's

970
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: no way he'd be there because we like the players

971
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: so much. And um, if there's anybody that has more

972
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: respect for coach Belichick what he's done, um than I do,

973
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him because I have tremendous respect

974
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: for this profession, for the players that play at this level,

975
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: and I would never want it to get misunderstood for

976
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: cold strange or the Patriots organization that um, anything but

977
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: respect for the player. That was my reaction, and any

978
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: misunderstanding was my fault for the way that you know,

979
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: I probably communicated that, but that I do appreciate you

980
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: saying that less And finally, does anybody have any advil?

981
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: He called them too. He called Belichick personally that the

982
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: phone call. I wonder what Bill said, Oh, don't worry

983
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: about a grumble, grumble grumble, and then was plotting his

984
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: death like fuck you three. I mean, that wasn't even

985
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: like the low. That wasn't the only moment they got

986
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: made fun of for either. The rest of their draft

987
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: was kind of wild. They took Taekwon third pretty high,

988
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: which I was excited because they never draft anyone fast

989
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: and he's literally a track star, um like, one of

990
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: the fastest track guys in the country ran a four

991
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: to six forty. The last time they did that though,

992
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: was Bethel Johnson in the second round like a track

993
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: star and the secondroad that didn't work. And then they

994
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: take like they finally in the third round take the

995
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: really undersized versatile cornerback that I was there. Is that

996
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: that they have to take every Ricky before you're out

997
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: the door here, I do want your State of the

998
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: Union address and the Patriots, how do you feel about them?

999
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: In two and going forward? I'm really excited, really really excited. No,

1000
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: me and Justin were talking at rock Bottom at the

1001
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: Chili's in the Vegas airport as we were leaving Vegas.

1002
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: It's literally like we spend all of our time putting

1003
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: all of our stock into these mock drafters who just

1004
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: think they know which they do. But then when our

1005
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: team that we like ride or die for, who like,

1006
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 1: spends the time with these players and makes their decisions

1007
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: based on it, picks them, we like discount what they

1008
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: have to say. So I'm going to you know, I

1009
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: want to eat a little humble pie. Yeah, the Patriots

1010
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: are not where they were, but I'm going to look

1011
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: down at my six rings and trust Bill well, you

1012
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: don't have any. We have multiple organization. Oh Erica, she says,

1013
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: we when she talks about her team. Oh my god,

1014
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: that's what. You're not gonna buy one of those strange

1015
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: sixty nine jersey, see he wears, Yeah, No, already have one.

1016
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: But I didn't. I didn't wear it on the shirt

1017
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I have so I My tea is

1018
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: good and I'm wearing right now. Justin. So, Justin and

1019
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: you were raining on all other mock drafters. I know

1020
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: Justin like fared very well? Did he does? He just

1021
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: slipped in the country. Yeah, well, Justin's a disruptor. Justin

1022
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 1: now is going to be the guy that he's gonna

1023
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 1: notch double digit uh mocks every single year and then

1024
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: talk down on the company. He's like Elon Musk. He's

1025
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: Elon Musk of the mock draft community. He thinks he's

1026
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, big doings. I bet his I

1027
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: bet his significant other it was more impressed with his

1028
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: exploits than Josh norris Is significant other appeared to be.

1029
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: When we asked jess Norris about getting sixteen a year ago.

1030
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: You can tell that graver h he's being adored. I

1031
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: would imagine why am I? WHOA? That's a fair Jessica.

1032
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: Can you jump out a second? I just have to

1033
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: ask Erica something privately. So do you think he's going

1034
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: to be good at this? Or I don't know? I

1035
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: really don't know. No, are you kidding me? He's going

1036
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: to be phenomenal. He's too good. It's it's gonna make

1037
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 1: me look bad. And I have a lot of regrets.

1038
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: You know, I shouldn't have trained him to the point

1039
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: that I did, because now you know, But next time

1040
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm on the beach in Mexico during free agency and

1041
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: he's texting me with a bunch of help for a

1042
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: t N that week. I'm not going to answer, no,

1043
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: you're not going to do it. You're tilted this that

1044
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: you're such a good teacher, that's what that still and

1045
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: also you're what if you could have done it again,

1046
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: you would have been what Mark believes Ryan Tannehill will

1047
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: be from Malik Willis, which is just a terrible person

1048
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,479
Speaker 1: that will rub dirt in his eyes his first training

1049
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: camp exactly exactly why did Ryan Tannehill do to deserve

1050
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: that Mark a great mentor. I didn't say that that

1051
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: he that that would be the case. I just said

1052
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: that if Ryan Tannehill struggled heavily out of the gate,

1053
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: that the fans with someone like there was another comment, No, no, no,

1054
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: I think in Tannehill seems like a nice individual. Something

1055
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: about that there were there seemed like some illusion that

1056
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: he wasn't really going to be like helping. Now I thought, well,

1057
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: I didn't intend that. I was more saying that the

1058
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: fans are going to be all over him if he struggles,

1059
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: and saying about rubbing dirt in his eyes and his

1060
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: first training camp practice and his bottom. No, I did not.

1061
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: They are very definitely rubbing dirt into his bottom. America

1062
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: he did did did? I blank out for like three

1063
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: minutes of the show. Don't f with me. This is

1064
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: my last day, and you don't. You don't want to

1065
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do with your microphone track. Oh

1066
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, you could do whatever you want. You can

1067
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: just gonna besode. It's just gonna you don't listen. It's

1068
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna be just I'm gonna isolate just you have been

1069
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: like rubbed Derrett on his bottom, rubbed dirt on Dirret

1070
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: on his bottom. By the way, that the Patriots drafted

1071
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: two more running backs, they now have nine running back

1072
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: maybe one of them was and they drafted the next

1073
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer Bailey's They did have a great draft last year.

1074
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: So that's that's me, all right. I want to throw

1075
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: out a winner. Nice job, kickers and punchers. This I

1076
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: predicted this one when what happened with um McPherson and

1077
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: Cincinnati when they take a fifth round pick on Evan

1078
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: McPherson mc fearless and then he basically helped put Cincinnati

1079
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl. You you just had a feeling

1080
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: that the rest of the league was going to take

1081
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: notice and get a little more aggressive in the kicking game.

1082
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: And that's what's happened. We saw. What do we have here?

1083
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: We have some good data on this. First of all,

1084
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: the Browns drafted former LSU kicker Cade York. Let's get

1085
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: in the kickers club, why not? It's never too early.

1086
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: The Browns drafted former l S up kicker Cade York

1087
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth round with overall pick on Saturday, the

1088
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: highest the kicker has gone in the draft since two

1089
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: thousand sixteen. So the Browns are one of those teams like,

1090
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: we're so good, we'll just take a kicker at this point.

1091
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: Remember who that pick was, Roberto Aguayo, the Bucks taken

1092
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: in the second round out of the off that team

1093
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: by a year later. Um, and makes sense for the

1094
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: Browns who had a lot of issues with their kicking

1095
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: last year. Greg, you also mentioned let's move on now,

1096
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: let's move out of the kicker club. Let's hand on

1097
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: over to the punters punch bowl mixer, which is a

1098
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: much more toned down affair. Uh, it'll give you a

1099
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: little some pings of nostalgia if you're a boomer. And they,

1100
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: as Greg mentioned, drafted a man named punt God San

1101
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: Diego State punter and Mattareza and uh, that's pretty cool.

1102
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: He won the Ray Guy Award and the last time

1103
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,479
Speaker 1: a kicker and two punters were taken in the first

1104
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: four rounds of the draft. Grab a head out to

1105
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: the dance floor, fall in love under the full moon,

1106
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: turn it up in my headphones, Ricky, there you go.

1107
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: But no, the kicker game. Finally there's an understanding that

1108
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't ignore it. Everyone's afraid that I forgot. The

1109
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: Browns were even um in this draft. Yeah, they were

1110
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: largely invisible. It's good to lay a low still for

1111
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: the Brownies. Yeah, just like come back and years. And

1112
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: speaking of feet, Ricky, what about your feet? Yeah, my

1113
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: feet were probably the biggest loser. The stems out, the

1114
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: stems out, looking good in the dress on Thursday night,

1115
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: but you paid the price. Yeah. I um decided that

1116
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: I could just walk instead of taking the golf cart ride.

1117
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, no, I can do it.

1118
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: But I was so far through the casino where I realized,

1119
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: like I should probably bring a change of shoes, that

1120
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: it would take too long to go back. So I

1121
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 1: walked the you know, one point three miles ound everything

1122
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 1: to get to the you know set that we had,

1123
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: and uh, I was not in good shape. I'm still

1124
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: not in good shape, to the point where there's like

1125
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: a two inch gash in my my big toe. Right now,

1126
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: limp in a little bit. It's uh, the puppies are backing.

1127
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,959
Speaker 1: Did you think it was okay or inappropriate? When Mark

1128
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: first saw you on Thursday night and said, ah, take

1129
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: a look at her gams, I thought it was perfect.

1130
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was to be serious. I thought it's

1131
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: very brave of you to to to make that walk Erica.

1132
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, No, everyone was really great. Um Schneider

1133
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: was vendors um if they sold like flip flops or

1134
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: anything like that too. So yeah, thank you to you

1135
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: guys given me your your shoes or something. But you know,

1136
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 1: it's cool, it's fine. You should have done the drunk

1137
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: ar'll move and walks barefoot. Just pull the heels and

1138
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,479
Speaker 1: just start walking on gravel and little glass chunks. Yeah,

1139
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: the first time. I'm just glad you got the phrase

1140
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: two inch gash into your final show. You want to

1141
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: pick on my feet, you gotta pay for it, Greg,

1142
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: Greg will pay happily. All right, let's do a couple more.

1143
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: We have a couple more things to get to, so

1144
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: you have any speed round, I'll throw out a winner.

1145
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: I meant to almost first. I think this might they

1146
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: might have the best draft the Chiefs. I'm big on

1147
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: the whole, Like the Chiefs aren't going anywhere corner this

1148
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: year just because you know they're the Chiefs and they're

1149
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Patrick Mahomes. What do you mean they're not going anywhere?

1150
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: Like like the Bills and the Chiefs to me two

1151
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: favorites in the A f C. And and I'm saying

1152
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: the Bills are, but the Chiefs I would put one

1153
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,439
Speaker 1: one B until proven otherwise. And I don't think they've

1154
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: had that bad in offseason at all. And I think

1155
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: they had a great draft. I think the two guys

1156
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: we talked about that they took in the first round,

1157
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie, the cornerback in Karl loftis Um the defense event.

1158
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: Carlftis pff liked as a top ten player, Like he's

1159
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 1: the type of guy who wins his pass rush all

1160
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: the time, kind of like a Clowney or a Davenport.

1161
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not gonna get a ton of sacks, but

1162
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: he's just stronger than the guy across from him, and

1163
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of pressure at pick thirty or uh,

1164
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: that's nice for them. He's gonna start right away. McDuffie's

1165
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: gonna start for them right away, and then sky more. Um. Really,

1166
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: I think in help to replenish some of the targets

1167
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: that Tyreek had. You have avowed the scantling going deep,

1168
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: but he's not going to be a main factor. More

1169
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: is the guy that's gonna be getting open quickly on

1170
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: the route, can make plays after the catch. I really

1171
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: liked him. A lot of people thought he might be

1172
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: a first round pick. He seems like a rookie that

1173
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: even though he got taken taken fifty five, Like, I

1174
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: bet his fantasy average draft position will be pretty close

1175
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: in the end to some of those top guys like

1176
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson that we're drafted, even though more was way

1177
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: down there. I think he's gonna have all the opportunity

1178
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: in the world. Just felt like they like plug some

1179
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: nice holes and I just feel like we're going to

1180
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: get a replenished Chiefs here this next year. Yeah. Well

1181
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: like I like that one. Yeah, they still have Patrick Mahomes.

1182
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is still at the controls and there I

1183
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: think there may be just in a little bit of

1184
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: transition now that he has the half billion dollar contract.

1185
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: I know it's not actually half a billion dollars um,

1186
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: but they have to just change how they do business.

1187
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: And somebody made this point, and I wish I could

1188
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: give him credit for it, but I'll share it here.

1189
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Which is one of the things that defined Brady's greatness

1190
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: was he once he became Brady and became a high paid,

1191
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, decorated star. What what separates the great quarterbacks

1192
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: is they could win with less and guys that aren't

1193
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, players can win when they're on the rookie

1194
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: deal quarterbacks and then the teams can load up for

1195
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: him and you could win a super Bowl. But like

1196
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: the true great qbs can do it when there are

1197
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: some more restraints in part in large part because of

1198
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: your own salary, because you're a superstar quarterback. That's where

1199
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Mahomes the world they enter. Now. I

1200
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: tend to believe second half of the AFC Championship aside,

1201
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: that he could be one of those guys. But that's

1202
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: where we are in his career. Arc. I think too

1203
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: much PF because like their pick at one oh six

1204
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Leo Channel two was like their top forty player. Like

1205
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs kind of just did the run down the

1206
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: PF big board and pick their guys. So maybe that

1207
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: maybe I just read too much PFF. I mean, is

1208
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,439
Speaker 1: there a bigger loser in continuing fashion of the entire

1209
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: offseason the Baker Mayfield. He comes out of this not

1210
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: a panther, and a lot of people thought he'd get

1211
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: traded there on Saturday. And then there's you know, Ian

1212
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Rappaport's saying that Seattle's interest in Baker Mayfield is in

1213
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: quotes lukewarm at best. I mean, they see him at

1214
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: this point content to potentially roll into the season with

1215
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: Drew Lock the way that Pete Carroll talked about Drew

1216
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: said Smith is in the lead. No, I mean, I know,

1217
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: but both of them, but neither one of them should be.

1218
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: I understand, Greg, you're fetish for Gino Smith, but like

1219
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: surprising we've gotten to this point, all right, I mean,

1220
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: just I think also maybe you know, if you're the Browns,

1221
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: you're a loser attached to that whole situation. You have

1222
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: to pay his contract or part of it to get

1223
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: him out the door, and this might be the kind

1224
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: of thing where you have to wait till training camp

1225
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: when a starter goes down and you try to sell

1226
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Baker at the highest possible value, which still won't be high. Yeah,

1227
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: I think Baker, I'm with you that so much has

1228
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: been said at this point. But he nobody needs a

1229
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: fresh start more an hour league than Baker Mayfield right now.

1230
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: And he still doesn't have it now. And now we're

1231
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: outside the draft, and now you have to wonder our

1232
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: teams waiting for him to be cut, and that's that's

1233
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: messy as well then, and you wonder who might enter

1234
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: the fray if all of a sudden he doesn't have

1235
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: that salary attached to him in the same way that

1236
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: teams are dogging him publicly. The Panther said once they

1237
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: took Matt Carroll that they're not interested in Baker Mayfield.

1238
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,479
Speaker 1: They said out loud. Malik Willis was on the board

1239
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: when the Seahawks picked at forty one and they took

1240
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: a running back, and I just feel like, Yeah, the Seahawks,

1241
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: they're fooling themselves. Uh, if they think that this is

1242
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna work with Drew lock In Gino, Baker Mayfield just

1243
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: makes too much sense both teams. He needs a fresh start.

1244
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: He can go to a Seattle team that's gonna be

1245
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: a run first operation where it's not gonna be a

1246
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: ton of pressure on him, uh to be this guy

1247
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: that's throwing the ball constantly, and then Seattle can have

1248
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: potentially professional uh playing quarterback, no offense, greg or a

1249
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: guy that's had more success than the current options on

1250
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the roster. Just makes some sense for that to be

1251
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: the spot. But if it's not, if it's true that

1252
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: they're not really interested, I mean, where does Baker go?

1253
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Does he where does he even end up? I mean,

1254
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: he's definitely true because they could have had him. They

1255
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: could have him for like a seventh round pick right now,

1256
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: and and uh nobody wanted him. And for Ian to

1257
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: put that out and he made it. He said this

1258
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: thing that well they like to throw horizontally and vertically.

1259
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: H It just it was just like a strange thing.

1260
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: And I I I didn't talk to Ian about this,

1261
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: but I did. UM have a different sparrow. It's like,

1262
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I think it's come down to Baker's personality. I think

1263
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: you were talking about having a professional I think there's

1264
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: concerns that the adult in the room comment that got out.

1265
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I think other teams are more concerned about that maybe

1266
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: than just the fact that that he's not I guess

1267
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I met more as someone who's produced and put numbers

1268
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: and put a playoff win on tape and and that.

1269
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: But yes, certainly he's definitely scared some teams off with

1270
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: elements of his personality. Have you have you seen the

1271
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: last four games of the Geno Smith twenty. I can't

1272
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: believe we're talking about this right now. Is Teddy Bridgewater

1273
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: doesn't get any shine from Rosenthal anymore? You know, all

1274
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: the time, wait till September when to uh, you know,

1275
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: misses a game or two and then suddenly Teddy takes over.

1276
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Yeah, but you also don't want to be

1277
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: part of that contingent of NFL COGNIZENTI that dogs to us.

1278
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: So you're kind of caught. You're caught in between. I mean,

1279
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to tell you. I'm not afraid of

1280
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: to and on To was one of those the time

1281
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: I guy you guys like, don't don't be critical to

1282
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: h You'll be told that you're stupid. Certain guys, I'm

1283
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: feel like I'm middle middle tier onto um, all right,

1284
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: if we're gonna move on unless anyone has one more

1285
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: that they feel strongly too quickly. I think the Seahawks

1286
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: had a great draft and I think Matt Ryan was

1287
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: a winner. Even though the c X didn't take Malik Willis,

1288
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: just the athleticism. They took Charles Croft, Cross Mafi I

1289
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: think profiles really well. Kenneth Walker. It seems like a

1290
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: really exciting running back. I know it's high for running back,

1291
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 1: but he seems really exciting, like all over the place.

1292
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: They took Kobe Bryant, the guy we were at the

1293
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,439
Speaker 1: cornerback from Cincinnati we were talking to the other way.

1294
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: I just like their whole draft like super athletes, and

1295
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan they not only do they not

1296
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: take a quarterback, but their first two picks they got

1297
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: they took path catchers out Pierced from Cincinnati. Was kind

1298
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: of a vertical guy that was Spice Racks. Other guy

1299
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: right there, that's right end, it's in the chamber here Rosenthal.

1300
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 1: We got around the a f C and forty eight

1301
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: minutes and around the NFC coming up this week. I

1302
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: just thought those were those were more winners. Did you

1303
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: see what Uh? Jim Rose said that he thinks that

1304
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan can play up to four more years. I

1305
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm seeing that, and when I watched then,

1306
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm seeing that either. But he

1307
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: probably just wants not a revolving door every off season.

1308
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine you're right about that. Let's check in

1309
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: with the great Nick for Tier. Oh what a weapon

1310
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: he is running. Go get my lunch dot Org. We

1311
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: did our draft picks, excuse me our draft props, and

1312
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: let's quickly spin through them. Mark empty handed in terms

1313
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: of predictions you had during the draft. DK Metcalfe has traded,

1314
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: but Deebo Samuel and A. J. Brown aren't. Dan and

1315
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: Gregg took you up on that. Uh, Let's see what else.

1316
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: Saints make three first round selections. I think they stayed

1317
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: at two, but they draft able player goes missing during

1318
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 1: the draft. Sorry to report Mark that nobody fell into

1319
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: any level of peril or concern, but we don't know that.

1320
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: We don't know that yet. Right now, Nick has it

1321
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: as a loss. If something comes out in the next

1322
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: let's how much window do you want to give him

1323
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: on this one? Greg seventy two hours. No, it said

1324
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: during the draft. Yeah you don't. I don't. I'm willing

1325
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: to take the l on that another family might be

1326
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: keeping it quiet. Like let's let's say here we've kidnapped

1327
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: an offensive guard out of Rutgers. Um, don't say anything

1328
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: to the media or he gets it. And that's why

1329
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: we haven't heard yet. You know what I mean. Mark's

1330
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna log onto tacos por Fo board dot com and

1331
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: send me something in the next day or two. UM,

1332
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: I think we can just put it as an L.

1333
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: And in the horrible instance that someone is missing in

1334
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the end, we can. We can flip it at that point,

1335
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: right And and Nick is ultimately the judge here. He's

1336
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: got it as an L. So you're three and eight

1337
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: for the draft, Mark, Greg, you finished four and five.

1338
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: You had Trayvon Walker isn't the number one overall pick,

1339
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: indeed he was. You had over six wide receivers are

1340
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. If number is exactly six,

1341
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: prop is a push. I don't know why we even

1342
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: gave that to you. That felt like a bit of

1343
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: a cop out, but we did. We were feeling generous,

1344
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: and it ended up being six and a push six

1345
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: out of the first eighteen. And then the Packers, who

1346
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: who we didn't mention trading, traded up for Christian Watson

1347
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: at thirty five. So that was the next closest and

1348
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: and supposedly there was some talk they they had some

1349
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: talk of maybe trying to trade back into the first round.

1350
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: Didn't happen. They give up two twos by the way,

1351
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: for Christian Watson from North Dakota State. A lot of

1352
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: pressure on that young man. We also he's also entering

1353
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: a pretty nice spot to Aaron Rodgers, who probably also

1354
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: made a call himself. Uh two, Goody and company said,

1355
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: if you don't draft a wide receiver next, I will

1356
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 1: literally retire. I will make your summer so miserable. You

1357
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: have no idea give me Christian Watson. You also had

1358
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Titans draft Desmond written a double here. As we know,

1359
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Titans draft Asmon and Ridder uh Dan and Mark win

1360
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: that one because they did not they drafted Malik Willis

1361
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: in the first round. As we know, only one quarterback

1362
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: went in the first round, and it was Kenny Pickett.

1363
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Didn't take it on that one. We only picked up

1364
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: two on you. So four and five and then finally

1365
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the zeus or eight and two and Greggy and eight

1366
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: and two. Does that move me into the overall first place?

1367
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: I don't know, it might be right there, We're pretty close.

1368
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 1: I had Jets draft Sauce Gardner in the top ten.

1369
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: They took him four overall, so nail that one. Had

1370
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: Bills drafted defensive player in first round, just got mark

1371
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: on that one. I also had Chiefs trade up within

1372
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: the first round to draft a wide receiver. I lost

1373
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: two sangwiches there. Uh and then I uh cleaned up

1374
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: on my guesses against you guys, so eight and two

1375
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: that will play. I don't know if he's updated the

1376
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: overall standing, so it's it's hard for me to say,

1377
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, you might have passed me here connect after

1378
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: four the over four props, we are within like a

1379
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: game or two. Dan. You know, Dan, it's Saturday night.

1380
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: I would roll into an l A. Area um club

1381
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: one and over club and just start telling people that

1382
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you went eight and two in the sandwich contest during

1383
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: the draft. Here, I think you just you'rena mowing people down.

1384
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna be turning into liquid. I'm just kidding. And

1385
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: this is always a fun thing I've done it before.

1386
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pull out a few past props at

1387
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: will Kevin Danger hands us. My brother was on the

1388
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: show once and said Tony Romo plays for the Bengals

1389
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: in anybody remember that? No, but I like that. Uh,

1390
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: let's find it old. Let's see NFL game pass length

1391
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: of Buccaneers versus Rams forty three minutes. It's an odd

1392
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: one happening. Uh, let's see J J. Watt will share

1393
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: a pick of his younger self and brother with a

1394
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: cheesy caption when TJ's drafted, and he did. That's that's

1395
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: green highlighted. So apparently some good brother drafting, though Cameron

1396
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: Hayward's brother got drafted by the Steelers, who now have

1397
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: four sets of brothers on the Steelers, the Watts, the

1398
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: edmonds Is, the davis Is, who I wasn't aware of,

1399
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: and uh and the Haywards. It I like that. It's um,

1400
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: it's heartwarming. It also feels like the start of like

1401
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: a religious cult in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure what the

1402
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: game plan there is. And here's one more because this

1403
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: just goes to show you what a roller coaster. H

1404
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: Brown's fandom has been in the last ten years or

1405
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,839
Speaker 1: so the Cleveland Caves will win three games before the Browns.

1406
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: And of course NBA seasons start in November. So the

1407
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: and the Calves did win that one? Is that the

1408
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: year the Browns one? Like Owen, I know we were

1409
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: past everything, but it did occur to me there was

1410
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, we we we were in the national news.

1411
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I guess really just one of us was in the

1412
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: national news this last week. So it does it does

1413
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: remind me um of another winner, Um from this last week.

1414
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 1: I guess I think Skip Bayless was was kind of

1415
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: a winner. Recommends here now. According to one mock draft

1416
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 1: from NFL Network, it's quote a lot that Baker heads

1417
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: just the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a fourth rounder. Shannon,

1418
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: you've been predicting Baker would be traded right around the draft,

1419
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: So jump in here. What do you think happens now? Well,

1420
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a time. But I believe

1421
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 1: it when I see a Skip Um. But it's not

1422
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: a bad deal. I don't trust any of this. I

1423
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not discounting the NFL Network report. I

1424
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: don't believe any of it. And I also think that

1425
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: this league is all the leagues, the worst victim of

1426
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: what I call sheep think but a nightmare. First of all,

1427
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: I put no time element on that, so I may

1428
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: have my day. Can we have my reve That's why

1429
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: Skip Bayless is making more than you're starting to end.

1430
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: You know, insights like that. I you know, Mark, I

1431
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in you, and like I said,

1432
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: you are a major part of the brand we're trying

1433
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 1: to get off the ground in this box draft game

1434
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: five of thirty two and then very public dust up

1435
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: with Skip Bayliss in which Skip prevails. The brand took

1436
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: a hit. Doesn't mean it's over, but it took a hit.

1437
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: It's close to over. I mean, I'm not sure that

1438
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of if you're a fan base,

1439
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of optimism to go forward,

1440
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: especially when you know our producer doubled my um correct

1441
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: hits and apparently last year had eleven, which when you know,

1442
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: undersold media wise. So what am I doing here? Like

1443
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: that's it's a fair question. You love that, like the

1444
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: same thing with a grave digger in his personal life,

1445
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: like he's got a little sneaky bravado and then it

1446
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: just like there it is. Yeah, actually, what about last year?

1447
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Anytime we have is gonna about, you know, the thing

1448
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: that we're not allowed to talk about. He always gives

1449
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 1: a little extra info that shows that things are cooking

1450
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: with Greece. He's actually like, oh no, don't don't bring

1451
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: up this story of this torret affair of this man. Yeah, like, oh,

1452
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 1: don't bring that up to the older hot babe that

1453
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: you know loves me more than her husband. I don't

1454
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about that, not on this show. Justin

1455
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: Are you sure you want to take over for Ricky?

1456
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: Knowing that just the scrutiny of everything in your life

1457
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: is only it's gonna just double down. And then you

1458
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: got the fan base, it's gonna want to know more

1459
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: and more and more. You're you're gonna be like Malake

1460
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Willis and Desmond Ritter getting too much attention alright, speaking

1461
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 1: of which, we're sorry Falcons fans. We didn't even you

1462
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: had a great draft too. We didn't even talk about

1463
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: Ritter going there. I think I think that was nice.

1464
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,640
Speaker 1: It was a nice pick um, all right. You know

1465
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: what else is a nice pick Ricky Hollywood as our

1466
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: producer five years many shows, Ricky just make up a number.

1467
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: I feel like two four shows over five years, so

1468
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: many great memories. Um, and literally was talking about it

1469
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: with Jet last night. We went to London for the

1470
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: first time and went multiple times. I we have gone

1471
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: through losses together. We got around the NFL on the

1472
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: network show from Pick Them and to giving you Guys,

1473
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with me. It has

1474
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: all to do with your guys talent and that speaks

1475
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: for itself. But just like where we all have been

1476
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: and especially me in the last five years, like alongside

1477
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 1: you guys, is when I was actually sitting down and

1478
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: looking over everything that we have accomplished together, like it

1479
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: has been nothing short of amazing and I am so

1480
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: proud of you that I can't even put it into words.

1481
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: And it has been such a lesson just to like

1482
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: be in like remotely near your orbit. So well, Ricky,

1483
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: we're the lucky ones you've been. You added such an

1484
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 1: interesting element to the show and a new voice, and UM,

1485
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, really proud of you how you opened up

1486
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 1: about your personal life and and how that helps other people,

1487
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: UM be themselves and not be afraid to to show

1488
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: UM that side of things. And in addition to being funny,

1489
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: and talented, and we know you're gonna soar um going

1490
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: forward without us, so we wanted to share with you,

1491
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: um little thing that Sean Kelly helped put together behind

1492
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the scenes of our time with you. Ricky Hollywood, Grave

1493
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: Digger hit it. Okay, you watched The Bachelor, but that

1494
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,640
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. Now you need the Bachelor cast off with

1495
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 1: cousin Oliver West. Get off your high horse. I just

1496
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: finished a big book and jazz yesterday. I listened to

1497
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: jazz while I played cards. And if I want to

1498
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: literally relax with the glass of wine and wash some

1499
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: stupid TV, you can shove it right where the sun's

1500
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 1: don't chimee. I love it. I mean, what are you

1501
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,759
Speaker 1: gonna do? You can't help people who won't help themselves.

1502
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:20,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'll destroy you. Hey guys, Ricky Hollywood

1505
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: in their mouth. But instead of saying chubby bunny, we're

1506
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: going to say players that are in Championship weekend that

1507
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:44,679

1511
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, sense of responsibility. Right before the show, Greg

1512
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: asked me to drag in a refrigerator for him. So

1513
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 1: things are going well over here. Um, we have a
