20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,720

Speaker 2: done said the last several years here is tried to

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: lock up their star players.

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: Right before the draft. This is kind of their window.

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: They get it done again.

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Actually now several highly paid players on the defensive line,

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: including Josh heinz Allen his partner in crime. But this

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: is all about Trayvon Walker. You mentioned it. He gets

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: four years, one hundred and ten million dollars, twenty million

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,360

00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: overall pick, former number one overall pick. He was on

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: the fiftyear option, could have taken it to free agency.

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Chose the guaranteed money right now, locking him in long term.

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: A key piece of this Jar Wars defense.

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: If you look at that twenty twenty two NFL Draft,

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker, chi Ching, Aiden Hutchinson, Chiching, Derek Stingley, Chiching,

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, Chiching. Maybe one day for you, David Bailey,

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: as we moved to some of the draft visits that

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: we've got, yes Ian, we reported this on David Bailey

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: earlier today, showed out at the combine. Now going through

51
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: the visits for those teams. Now, Lucky's he at the

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: nine and twelve, He's not expected to be around there.

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: That would have to be a trade up type deal.

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Rvel Reese as well. You see the visits that he's

55
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: making with the teams at two, three or five and beyond.

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Here is your draft order. If you're trying to figure

57
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: out where these guys are going to land. We have

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: a pretty good feel for what's going to happen at

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: one The question at two and three is those teams

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: need long term solutions at quarterback, but what do we

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: do with regard to these edge rushers. Well, here are

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: the mock draft projections for the Jets right now, according

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: to our guys Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, Charles Davis and Lanzerline.

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: You see, not a quarterback to be had there, because

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: this is a team that needs a lot of work.

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: So ian as you're pretending to be the general manager

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: of the Jets, Darren Mugie, not pretending he's actually the

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: general manager, but you are going to play the role

69
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: of him and Judy as well as we go through

70
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: this and say, well, yeah, the Jets need long term

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: solution to quarterback, but it's really not one to be

72
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: had at two is there first?

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: Well, no one confused me for Darren Mugie, the Jets

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: general manager.

75
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: He is very tall, and I am for those who know,

76
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: not that tall. Not that's tall.

77
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: Yes, the New York Jets have in fact visited with

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: several of the top edge rushers rvel reechs.

79
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: We mentioned David Bailey as well.

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: I expect them to do all the homework on the

81
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: top couple guys right that they may potentially take a

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: number two, but you mentioned the quarterback.

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: The Jets have done all of the quarterback work as well.

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: I don't believe it is going to be for number two.

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: They also have that second first round pick, thanks of

86
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: course to the Quinn Williams trade. So what are the

87
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: Jets looking at right? Are they looking at Edge Rusher early?

88
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: Possibly?

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people believe Rvel Reese would

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: be one there. But they've worked out individually all of

91
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: the top quarterbacks not named for Danda Mendoza. They have

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: the second first round pick, they also have an early pick,

93
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: and the second round could potentially trade up Judy, like

94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: the New York Giants said, the Jets are going to

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: be prepared for every option. But I am not quite

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: ready to say right now, like, oh, they'll come out

97
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: of this without a quarterback.

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: They might.

99
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: It really depends on where their evaluation falls and if

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: one of these top quarterbacks is available.

101
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: Well, let me take you behind the curtain a little bit,

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: because during the annual meeting last week I spoke to

103
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn and the Jets were adamant about wanting to

104
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: get the word out that Geno Smith was going to

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: be the starting quarterback because there had been some sort

106
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: of conversation out there in the ether that because nobody

107
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: in the organization had said that publicly yet, was there

108
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: a chance that maybe they would draft a quarterback who could.

109
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: Come in and be the starting quarterback.

110
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: No, that is why they wanted to say definitively it

111
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: is Geno Smith the starter this year, because they are

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: very unlikely to draft a quarterback that could be competition

113
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: for Geno Smith this year. Could they draft a quarterback

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: later in the draft who could be a developmental guy,

115
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: sure they could, but it is Geno Smith's team this

116
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 4: year at quarterback. So let's put the quarterbacks aside. This

117
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: team has a lot of needs, a lot of needs.

118
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: Pass rusher, they need a wide receiver to pair with

119
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson.

120
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 5: Again, pass rusher, they really need that.

121
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: That is why you see so many of the mock

122
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: drafts mocking edge rushers to the Jets. But quarterback, I

123
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: don't think so. And there was part of that that

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: came through at the annual meeting when they came out

125
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: and said very clearly it's Gino Smith's job.

126
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: Forget about the idea of a rookie coming in and

127
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 5: being starting quarterback.

128
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Judy, your interview with Aaron Glenn made that clear, and

129
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: just some conversations that we had started to get the

130
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: feel that maybe it's not even just a one year

131
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: thing in their minds for Gino Smith, that this could

132
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: be a multi year thing for him that he holds

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: down the starting quarterback position. Obviously, we have to see

134
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: how it goes and how he plays and where they

135
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: wind up in next year's draft as well a lot

136
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: of unanswered questions. For now, they feel really good about

137
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Gino Smith and about what he's going to be able

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: to do at the quarterback position. The Cardinals have long

139
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: term quarterback answers to be had or to be a

140
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: question to be answered, I should say, but three out

141
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: of four say no quarterback Ty Simpson for Charles Davis,

142
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: though the pick at number three Francis Mainoa to the

143
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals according to Daniel Jeremiah as far as he sees

144
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: it right now. So look, Ian, you're seeing the work

145
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: that they're doing. David Bailey, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck Jeremiah

146
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: love that I missed somebody. Rvel Reese visited the Cardinals

147
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: as well, So they're doing the work on all those

148
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: guys that are in that realm right now.

149
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Judy feels very definitively that the Jets will not take

150
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: a quarterback at two.

151
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: I would agree.

152
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: The Cardinals at three, I would say, let's just see,

153
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: because we have seen far too often we say, all right, well,

154
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: this quarterback obviously is going to be taken to late

155
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: in one, or he's more of a mid round guy,

156
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: and then a team falls in love and then they say,

157
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: I don't care, I'm going to take him. Would it

158
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: be a surprise if someone like Ty Simpson goes at three?

159
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: It would be a surprise. I would be surprised by that,

160
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't be stunned because we've seen it before.

161
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: We've seen guys like Mitchell Trubisky though two when a

162
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: lot of us thought he was more of a late

163
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: round guy, Blake Bortles. Same thing certainly could happen again,

164
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: I would say more likely, though the Cardinals are probably saying,

165
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: all right, we saw what the Giants did last year

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: with Jackson Dart.

167
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: They were able to come back in the first round.

168
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: You got to give up resources.

169
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: Yes, they're able to come back in the first round

170
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: and get someone who they believe is a quarterback of

171
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: the future.

172
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: That's excellent value.

173
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Interesting thing for the car You have several quarterback needing teams,

174
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: Judy like, Oh, I don't know. Let's say the Pittsburgh Steelers,

175
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: who may need a quarterback of the future, whether or

176
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: not they get Aaron Rodgers. So would the Cardinals have

177
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: to come all the way up over early twenties. We'll

178
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: see there's still a lot of intrigue with the quarterbacks,

179
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: even though there's only one high end guy.

180
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: This is almost the same conversation as with the Jets.

181
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: They do need a quarterback, they also need a lot

182
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 4: of other stuff.

183
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: They need an edge rusher, They really need a right tackle.

184
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: If you watch the Arizona Cardinals last year, at the

185
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: right side of that offensive line needs a lot of work.

186
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: They need a right tackle.

187
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: But you're right, they, like the Jets, could get a

188
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 4: quarterback later on. In the case of the Cardinals, you're right.

189
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 4: Could they come back up into the bottom of the

190
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: first round and get a quarterback? Yes, they definitely need one,

191
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: and unlike the Jets, they don't have the prospect of

192
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 4: three first round trafficks in twenty twenty seven. To look

193
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 4: ahead to the Cardinals, though, again have a lot of needs.

194
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 4: Of course, Kyler Murray is gone. Right now, they have

195
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Prissette as the starting quarterbacks. The

196
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the quarterback room. We will see if they

197
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: add one, but certainly they have maybe more pressing needs

198
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: at the top of the draft.

199
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals sort of remind me of the Giants last year

200
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: who had the third overall pick and said we need

201
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback. We think we can get one later, and

202
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: they did maneuver later in the first round for Jackson

203
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Dart and said, we've got a guy in Abdul Carter.

204
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: We talked about the edge rushers that are available up there.

205
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Let's get him at three and then maneuver for a

206
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: quarterback later. You could see the Cardinals potentially do that,

207
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: or they could punt on the whole quarterback at the

208
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: top of the draft deal until next season. We shall

209
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: see what the Cardinals wind up doing. But there's a

210
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of edge talent and other positions that we just

211
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: talked about there available to them.

212
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 6: Juni.

213
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: We don't usually talk about this team when we're talking

214
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: about high draft picks, but here we are the Kansas

215
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: City Chiefs looking at the first round.

216
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 5: They're picking in the top ten. Weird. They have two

217
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 5: first round draft picks.

218
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: Weird.

219
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: Here's what the mock drafts have for them. They're kind

220
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: of all over the map. You see some offensive line.

221
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: You of course see a pass rusher, cornerbacks, they've got needs.

222
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: This is a very unusual position for the Kansas City Chiefs.

223
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: But you know what has to bring some comfort to

224
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Chiefs this site Patrick Mahomes throwing the

225
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 4: football after while he's rehabbing his knee injury.

226
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: Pretty severe knee injury.

227
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: I spoke to Andy Reid during the recently completed annual Meeting,

228
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: and of course the first question was about Mahomes and

229
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: his recovery.

230
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: Here it is, he.

231
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 7: Spends a ton of time in the building. Julie, the

232
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 7: real Julie. You know you've seen the commercial. She's the trainer,

233
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 7: actually the actual trainer. So she's done a great job

234
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 7: with him. And yeah, I mean he's in there for

235
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 7: seven hours a day just eating that thing up, and

236
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 7: it's showing the progress. Now to tell you a timeline,

237
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 7: I mean, I know what he's striving for and we'll

238
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 7: just see where it goes goes from.

239
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 4: There, when you do your off season planning, are you

240
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: planning for Patrick Mahomes in Week one or do you

241
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: have a safety net contingency.

242
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 7: Out and got a good quarterbacks to back him up?

243
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 7: So if he doesn't, you know, if he's not able

244
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 7: to make it for the beginning of the season, then

245
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 7: we know we've got a legitimate backup there that can

246
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 7: go win games for us.

247
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: You also, did you made a big move to shore

248
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: up your running attack in free agency with Kenneth Walker.

249
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: How much does that help you? You've always talked about

250
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: establishing the run. How much does that help you sort

251
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: of get back to that idea.

252
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, I mean he's a good football player and

253
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 7: it won't change. I mean he's not going to change

254
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 7: coming to us. He's still going to be a good

255
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 7: football player. And you know, as long as he stays

256
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 7: healthy and moves forward, good things can happen for you.

257
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 7: We know that the run game is important, and we've

258
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 7: got good offensive linemen so in front of them, so

259
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 7: that'll be a plus for him, So it should be

260
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 7: a plus for a football team.

261
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 4: You're in a sort of an unusual position coming into

262
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 4: this draft. First of all, you don't usually pick very

263
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: high in the draft, and you certainly don't usually have

264
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 4: two first round draft picks. So how does does that

265
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 4: excite you? Do you wish you weren't in this position?

266
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: How are you approaching this?

267
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

268
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 7: My phone is we're there, We're in the position. Let's

269
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 7: take advantage of it. Let's not be back there in

270
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 7: that same position, but let's take advantage of it while

271
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 7: we're here. And I know Brett Veach does a great

272
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 7: job with the draft tee and his guys, and I

273
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 7: sitting there at nine gives you an opportunity to really

274
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 7: get a good football player on your team. So take

275
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 7: the good football player. You don't have to force anything.

276
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 7: Take the good football player. And then you're picking twenty

277
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 7: ninth or in that area there, So you know, let's

278
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 7: see what's there. It's still the first round there, It's

279
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 7: got to be thirty good players in the draft there.

280
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: So, given the season you're coming off of and the

281
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: fact that you have two first rounders, do you view

282
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 4: this it's not a rebuild, certainly, but do you view

283
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: this almost as a chance to hit the reset button

284
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: a little bit on the Chiefs.

285
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got a lot of time to think about it.

286
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 7: So this is a been a long off season, but

287
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 7: it's great to reflect, great to go back in turn

288
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 7: what you know in your mind as a negative having

289
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 7: end of the season the way we did into a

290
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 7: positive by retooling, making sure that you're getting healthy coaches

291
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 7: and players. So stay on top of that and then

292
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 7: go take advantage of it as you work into this

293
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 7: next season.

294
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: When you reflect on it, what conclusions have you come to?

295
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, this game is it's a game of inches, literally,

296
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 7: and so the games that we had won the year

297
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 7: before we didn't win this year, and towards the end

298
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 7: we had some injuries, but that we don't make any

299
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 7: excuses for that. But in there you've got to find

300
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 7: a way to get yourself over that and back on

301
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 7: the winning track.

302
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: Andy talked about you have to attend to details. That's

303
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: the difference between winning those close games and losing them

304
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: as they did last year. But I also asked him

305
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: do you have to come away you saw the list

306
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: there a draft needs. Do you have to come away

307
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: from this with a premier edge rusher. Do you have

308
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: to come away from this with another wide receiver for

309
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes And he said, we need to come away

310
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 4: from this with good players.

311
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 5: We need good players.

312
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: They do not want to be back in this position

313
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: where they are drafting in the top ten and where

314
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: they have two first round draft picks.

315
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: It's very unusual. He said.

316
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: They did a lot of for fucking. They've looked an

317
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: awful lot about what went wrong. They do not want

318
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: to repeat it.

319
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: You know, there's sometimes a little bit of an eye roll,

320
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: guys when we report visits because it's like, well, a

321
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: team wants to visit a player like that's not that meaningful.

322
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: Was interesting to me that the Chiefs have visited with

323
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: a couple really good pass rushers who should go earlier

324
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: than they pick, which means at least they're looking at

325
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: the potential of moving up in the draft and taking

326
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: a edge rusher who could be potentially elite. Because remember

327
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: the last time they moved a really good player for

328
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: a first round pick and more, which was Tyreek Hill.

329
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: The last time they did that, they completely retooled their defense.

330
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: But this is what the Chiefs do, right, Mike.

331
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: They have the opportunity to take these draft picks and

332
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: say we're going to make the entire team better while

333
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: giving up one good player to do it. The other

334
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: thing that I noticed in that interview, which I thought

335
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: was a very good interview. Andy Reid can be really tough,

336
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: is him saying they snuck out and got justin Fields

337
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, did it on the slide a

338
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: little bit, knowing how important that quarterback spot was in

339
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: case Patrick Mahomes isn't going to be ready, they believe

340
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: he will, but if he's not, they had to be ready.

341
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: And that was a pretty pretty smart trade that the

342
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs pulled off.

343
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Ian we reported the other day the Chiefs added kyer Elm,

344
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: the former first round pick at the cornerback position, because

345
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: they have seen their cornerbacks go to Los Angeles. I mean,

346
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: in one case they sent them there because they traded

347
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: them Trent McDuffie and Jalen Watson. So that is still

348
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's that way over the shoulder, I

349
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: don't know, or just that way. I don't know how

350
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: you send the guy out the door on a trade.

351
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: But that's still a position that needs a lot of work.

352
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: And so if they use a first round pick here

353
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: or some of the other draft capital that they have

354
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: to help that position. And trust David Merritt, Judy We've

355
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: known David Merritt for years, former Giants assistant coach, has

356
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: done a great job developing young talent. Going to have

357
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: to entrust him to develop even more guys at that

358
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: cornerback position, some young guys, some other chiefs. News from

359
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: our colleague Adam Schefter at ESPN that the NFL concluded

360
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: that Rashid Rice quote has not engaged in conduct that

361
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: violates the Personal Conduct Policy. Investigation into accusations from his

362
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: former girlfriend now closed as far as the NFL is concerned,

363
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: no discipline at this time that could potentially changed. And

364
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: then you see the statement from Rice's attorney. There is

365
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: a lawsuit that is still pending, but with regard to

366
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: the NFL and their investigation, they believe that there is

367
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: no basis for a suspension for Rice, who was suspended

368
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: last year for a traffic incident.

369
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: We'll love and appreciate every member of Bucky Brook's top

370
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: five defensive tackles, from Peter Woods of Clemson all the

371
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: way on down, but I think it's fair to say

372
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: we're a little partial to partial to Christine Miller from

373
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: Georgia number five, because he is the one joining me

374
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport and gdbts to on the Insiders right now

375
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: there he is the big man himself. Kristin, thank you

376
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: very much for joining us on the Insiders. I want

377
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: to start with this. It is a long grinding process

378
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: to lead up to the draft. You go from bold

379
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 2: season training combine leading up to the draft.

380
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: How in the world are you hanging in there through

381
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: all of this.

382
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 8: Man, By the grace of God, that's all. Like I say,

383
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 8: by the grace of God. It's just one of those

384
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 8: things where it's like I can have any problem in

385
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 8: the world, but I got good problems right now.

386
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 6: I get to be able to travel.

387
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 8: I get to be able to meet players that I

388
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 8: already already know or didn't know, just kind of fellaship

389
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 8: with them. Guys, meet the new teams. It's a blessing.

390
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 8: It's a blessing. And keep me on my feet. You know,

391
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 8: I got eighty a d a little bit, so they

392
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 8: keep me on my feet, sit in one spot. So

393
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 8: it just kind of keep me grind to keep me

394
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 8: on my feet a little bit. But the business can

395
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 8: get you a little fact. So you got to stay

396
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 8: in shakes. You got to bring your shoes to the

397
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 8: business and get in the gym and on on it.

398
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 8: But other than that, it's been cool.

399
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: You are like the rarest of people in college football

400
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: right now. You spent all four years at Georgia, no transfers.

401
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 4: I know you thought about transferring at one point. Why

402
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: did you decided to stick at Georgia. Where'd you get

403
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 4: out of that?

404
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: That's a great question, That's a great question.

405
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 8: It was one of those things where I just I

406
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 8: wanted to I wanted to learn, I wanted to grow.

407
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 6: I wanted just to be a better man. I think

408
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 6: that was the biggest thing.

409
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 8: You know, I had a lot of money throwing at

410
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 8: me in the portal and a lot of these things,

411
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 8: but I think the biggest thing that you can't get

412
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 8: is a development. And Coach scott On, Coach Kirby, my teammates,

413
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 8: they did a lot of They did a lot of

414
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 8: good things helping me along the way and just allow

415
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 8: me to just grow and develop. And I think that's

416
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 8: the biggest thing I got out of this. You know,

417
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 8: I'm a great player, but I think the biggest thing

418
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 8: that I gained through this whole process was I think

419
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 8: become I'm a better man, and that's one of my

420
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 8: biggest blessings and I got my degree, so I couldn't

421
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 8: be more happier.

422
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about that.

423
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: Always an incredible blessing, get your degree and all that.

424
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: So you mentioned keeping your shoes, you mentioned staying in

425
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: shape on those visits. Where have you been and kind

426
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: of break down your schedule and what's it like.

427
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 8: And I've been all over the place. So I started.

428
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 8: My first visit I took was to Houston. I met

429
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 8: with the Rams at the facility, met with the Saints too.

430
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 8: My just came back from Las Vegas from the Raiders,

431
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 8: and I got six busits next week. I think it's

432
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 8: with the Bills, the Giants, Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos,

433
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 8: Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Coats, and then my last two is

434
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 8: Miami and Temple. So I got a business schedule and

435
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 8: it's crazy.

436
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 6: It's just getting crazy and crazy each and every day.

437
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: There are a lot of former Georgia defensive tackles making

438
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 4: an impact in the NFL. Right now, I know you

439
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 4: still train with Trayvon walk Or from the Jaguars. What

440
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: kind of advice have you gotten, maybe not just about

441
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: the draft process, but about what to expect when you

442
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: get to the NFL.

443
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 6: That's crazy you say that.

444
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 8: I seen Trayvon at Pro Day and he literally just

445
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 8: told me, he said, little bro, just take it day

446
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 8: by day. He said, take it day by day, try

447
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 8: to stay in shape as much as you can. And

448
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 8: we built for it. I think Coach gott do an

449
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 8: amazing job of just getting us prepared. And it's just

450
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 8: getting us ready because at the end of the day,

451
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 8: it's just football, and it's just being a pro and

452
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 8: showing up and just doing your job each and every day.

453
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 8: So you know, it's an easy task. It ain't that

454
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 8: hard if you really think about it. So that's what

455
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 8: they tell me. And Jalen Carter, Davonte White, Jordan Davis,

456
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 8: Mikel Williams, Knives Warn't, Vincent Toye, all these names, all

457
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 8: these greats. They've done a great job of just showing

458
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 8: me how to go about being a pro.

459
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: So it's a bliss.

Speaker 8: the ground runner and from there he ain't stopped since.

478

508
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: opportunities to thrive in the NFL. Music will be a

509
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 2: little bit of a side gig, but an excellent inside

510
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: to get There's plenty of players who do that kind

511
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 2: of in their spare time. I would say this is

512
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: something you should probably look forward to when we're looking

513
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 2: to hear it to hearing more of that coming up

514
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,679

515
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 8: I don't want I ain't want to interrupt you, but

516
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 8: I just want to say something to the kids. Listen

517
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 8: to all my young kids out there, make sure you

518
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 8: have something on the side that you can just look

519
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 8: forward to when you're not playing football, because if you

520
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 8: just sit around just going crazy about football all the

521
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 8: time every day, you.

522
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 6: Will literally lose your mind. You've got to have an outlet.

523
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 6: So to all my young kids, listen, football is a

524
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 6: main goal. It's a dream, it's how we're gonna eat.

525
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 6: It's probably gonna make our dreams come true.

526
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 8: But you gotta have a plan be in terms of

527
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 8: an outlet, because guess what, you can't You can't hit

528
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 8: nobody with pass on the whole year. So you got

529
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 8: to have something to let your anger out. You gotta

530
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 8: have something that you can release. So to all my

531
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 8: younger kids, man, y'all have some the minutes I can

532

Speaker 3: Was it peccabon awesome?

546
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: Just like the Atlanta Falcons uniform release was Were you

547
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: wondering what Adam Rank thought about the Falcons uniform?

548
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 9: Boy?

549
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 3: I was too.

550
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: If you just keep watching on the Insiders, you might

551
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: get a little insight on what's going on in his

552
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: demented brain.

553
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna look like very shortly for Kirk Cousins,

554
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: who has agreed to a deal with the Raiders, joined

555
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza in that quarterback room. A little animation there

556
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: for Cousins, a little bit of a cartoon because Adam

557
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Rank is joining us from well. Listen. So the other

558
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: day we had Disney onboarding, which we all had to do,

559
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: and they said, would you be interested in opportunities to

560
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: advance within the Disney Company, And it appears that Adam

561
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Rank checked yes there.

562
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 10: Taking them up on that offer. Like, listen, we got

563
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 10: the free passes. I live miles from Anaheim. I'm like, okay,

564
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 10: I'm in. I'll be there today. This is where I'm

565
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 10: going to be reporting from now on Tuesdays and Fridays

566
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 10: moving forward. All right, go for it, Rank, You've got

567
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 10: some all right, thank you, thank you, Thank you so much.

568
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: Host Big News this week.

569
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 10: As you mentioned a moment ago, Kirk Cousins signed a

570
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 10: mega deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, five years, one

571
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 10: hundred and seventy two million dollars to join that team.

572
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 10: But like a lot of deals in Las Vegas, it

573
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 10: doesn't seem as good when you start to look at

574
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 10: the fine pride, kind of like when you deal at

575
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 10: MGM for nineteen bucks a night. Then you realize you

576
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 10: check in and it's like a sixty five dollars resort fee,

577
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 10: parkings fifty five bucks You're in laws are making you

578
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 10: see David Copperfield, It's not as good as it originally seemed.

579
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I might just stay home.

580
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 10: But still, the reality is Kirk Cousins is going to

581
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 10: get about twenty mil to mentor Fernando Mendoza, which is

582
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 10: probably the second best gig you can get in Las Vegas,

583
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 10: next to being a host at Circa. Of course, the

584
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 10: real winner in all of this is Coles. The calls

585
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 10: over on Blue Diamond and Enterprise Nevada because you know

586
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 10: that Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza are.

587
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 3: Going to be dropping a lot of money there.

588
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 10: A lot of coals cash is going to be invested

589
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 10: there to get their tourist chic look up as they

590
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 10: approach Allegiant Stadium here on game day. Moving forward and

591
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 10: speaking about fits the Atlanta Falcons, let's turn to Kirk's

592
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 10: former team. The Atlanta Falcons announced new uniforms this season,

593
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 10: and I'm sorry, I feel like a child who's.

594
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 3: Been handed at kids menu and.

595
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 10: You're like, hey, try to find the difference between this

596
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 10: uniform and last year's uniform because I can't do it.

597
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 10: I'm stumped. Like, listen, the Falcons you have become this meme?

598
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 10: Can we show the meme? We have clearance for you're

599
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 10: this meme?

600
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: This is you. Who is making the decisions in Atlanta

601
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: right now? Oh? I know who's not.

602
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 10: Making the decisions, Ian Cunningham. The NFL made that perfectly clear.

603
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 10: Ian Cunningham is making no decision in Atlanta. Just for

604
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 10: the record, no decision by Ian Cunningham. So for anybody

605
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 10: outside of Ian Cunningham in Atlanta, here's the deal. Red helmets,

606
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 10: black jerseys, gray pants. It doesn't need to be that complicated.

607
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 10: And speaking of complicated, Kyle Shanahan made news this week

608
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 10: when he intimated the Rams were ducking their annual game

609
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 10: at Sofi Stadium by having it moved to Australia because

610
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 10: the forty nine er fans always come in there and

611
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 10: make a always take over so Fi. I'm sorry, are is

612
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 10: Mad Laflora and Kyle sham Are they wearing the same suit?

613
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 10: Why are they both wearing green suits? This makes no sense.

614
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: What do they did?

615
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 10: Did Sean McVeagh put them up to this? But listen,

616
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 10: here's the big point right here, as I lost my place.

617
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 10: Of course, of course the Rams of course made this move. Yes,

618
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 10: they're moving that up. They don't want the forty nine

619
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 10: ers there, and yes we all know that. It's kind

620
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 10: of like somebody watching the show and asking like, have

621
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 10: do you think Adam lank likes the Bear? Of course

622
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 10: everybody know this, and now a big reason people will

623
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,440

Speaker 10: fans travel so well?

625
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: Which I think they do. But really it's it's it's

626
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: much more than that. It's actually much worse.

627
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 10: There is a group of people led by Yeah, this

628
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 10: is this is one of our actual coworkers here.

629

Speaker 3: His name is Omar. It's not Omar Ruiz. This is over.

630
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 3: This is a real thing.

631
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 10: It's all about the Dodgers for baseball and the forty

632
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 10: nine ers for foot Really, this is your a. It's

00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 10: all about Ohio State football in Michigan. No pick a site,

635
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 10: Chicago hot Dogs and get no pick a side you

636
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 10: have to pick.

637
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: Listen.

638
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 10: I have to now decide whether I'm going to Disneyland

639
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 10: or not very far I've made my decision perfectly clear.

640
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 10: But then anyways, thanks for having me, Mike. I had

641
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 10: to get that off my chest.

642
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: Was that suit by Kyle Shanahan being worn also available

643
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: in metallic mint green?

644
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 6: It was Adam Rank.

645
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: The weekend or Sunday is on the weekend, which is

646
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: when they used to have the Wonderful World of Disney, Right,

647
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's right up your alley, Adam Rank. You

648
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: and you and the mouse new opportunities. We appreciate you, buddy,

649
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: any day of the week, but particularly as we're heading

650
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: into the weekend.

651
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 5: Trey Hendrickson signing with the Ravens. There he is with

652
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 5: his ninety one Raven.

653
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: Jersey is probably going to take a little time to

654
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: get used to him in Raven's purple, but that is

655
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: exceptionally good news for new head coach Jesse Minter. Here

656
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: he is with our buddy Steve Weisch.

657
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Trey's a closer.

658
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 9: I mean, he's a guy that has the second most

659
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 9: sacks in the fourth quarter of games since twenty twenty one.

660
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 9: That's an area where we want to improve. We want

661
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 9: to finish out games and we have the lead. We've

662
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 9: had more leads in the fourth quarter than any team

663
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 9: in the last five years, and so get a guy

664
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 9: like that will help our pass rush, help the defensive backs,

665
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 9: rush and coverage work together. So when you add a

666
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 9: primary premium pass rusher, it makes everybody else's job on

667
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 9: the defense easier. At times, he's going to draw a

668
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 9: lot of attention. So I think our pass rush in

669
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 9: general is going to be a lot better because other

670
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 9: people may have more one on one opportunities.

671
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: And then the dbs, you know, when you don't.

672
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 9: Have to cover as long, it makes life easier, So

673
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 9: we could be more excited.

674
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 11: Ad Ture, I'm so glad you show that because oftentimes

675
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 11: when we talk about a premier player, we talk about

676
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 11: the premier player and that the impact he has on

677
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 11: the other ten. What about you in terms of scheming,

678
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 11: Will he allow you to do like you said, at

679
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 11: all three levels?

680
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's one the ability.

681
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 9: You know, when you rush four with Trey, there's a

682
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 9: chance he could get a sack, I mean of high probability,

683
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 9: and then you can find ways to create one on

684
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 9: ones for him, which takes those chances up even more.

685
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 9: You know that at times you can draw a lot

686
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 9: of attention towards him and create opportunities for Mike Green

687
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 9: or the rest of our defensive line and then the secondary.

688
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 9: You know, so when the ball is going to be

689
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 9: out faster, you might not have to blitz as much,

690
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 9: which allows more resources in coverage. When you talk about

691
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 9: all these receivers that we have to find a way

692
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 9: to cover and these quarterbacks, the more resources that times

693
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 9: you can bring in coverage, the better off will be.

694
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 6: Okay, slip it to the other side.

695
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 11: You guys did have some personnel losses this year, Tyler Linderbaum,

696
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 11: A couple of tight ends. What about replenishing those throughout

697
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 11: the rest of the offseason.

698
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think building the teams of process.

699
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 9: And you know, it's a long way between now and September,

700
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 9: and there's a lot of ways to continue to add

701
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 9: and supplement your roster. There's still some free agents out there,

702
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 9: there's the draft, there's trade opportunities. So I trust our

703
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 9: front office and ourselves to work really really well together

704
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 9: to continue to put the best pieces that we can

705
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 9: out there.

706
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: Now.

707
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 11: The Ravens, though there is a standard right, nobody wants

708
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 11: to hear about hey taking a step back to take

709
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 11: two steps forward.

710
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 6: They want to be right there and compete for super Bowls.

711
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 6: When you took this job and.

712
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 11: Knowing the standard and knowing that you are going to

713
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 11: have to tweak this roster, what are some of the

714
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 11: things that excited you about making this team better.

715
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Number one is the players that we have in place.

716
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 9: You know, talking about premiere, premier players on both sides

717
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 9: of the ball, impact weapons, guys that have played at

718
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 9: the highest level MVPs, you know, defensive Player of the

719
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 9: Year candidates, like, there's a lot of that on the team.

720
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 9: I think there's a fresh energy with us right now

721
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 9: that they're excited about. We need to find a way

722
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 9: to be at our best when our best is needed

723
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 9: and play our best in the fourth quarter. So we'll

724
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 9: strive to do that this offseason program going into training camp, like,

725
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 9: we'll put ourselves in position to have the ability to

726
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 9: finish games. But most importantly the players and the people

727
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 9: in place, the organization, the ownership, the personnel side, and Eric.

728
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 9: It's a great group and couldn't be more excited premier players.

729
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 11: You do have a premier player at your quarterback, Lamar Jackson.

730
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 11: What's some of the things that you have in mind

731
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 11: to build because well, first off, let me reset it.

732
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 11: Defending him. What are some of the things that you

733
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 11: had to do to try to slow him down?

734
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: Defending Lamar's a nightmare. Did it in twenty twenty four.

735
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 9: And it's just like there's defending the normal play, which

736
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 9: is whether it's a run play pass play. If it's

737
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 9: a run play, you're always worried about him pulling the

738
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 9: ball and just his capabilities of doing that. So you're

739
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 9: defending the run game a little slower than just teeing

740
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 9: off on Derrick Henry. And then in the passing game,

741
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 9: you're defending the first play, the normal drop back or

742
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 9: play action, and then his ability to make a playoff

743
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 9: of that, which we call like the second play in football.

744
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 9: So his ability to do all that was a was

745
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 9: tough to prepare for. We wanted him to continue to

746
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 9: utilize those weapons and be himself and be the best

747
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 9: version of himself. He's proven that he's been a two

748
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 9: time Most Valuable Player potentially you know, two or three

749
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 9: times could have been.

750
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: And so we couldn't be more excited about Lamar. We

751
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: are twenty days away from the NFL Draft and teams

752
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: doing that work on guys that are going to go

753
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: throughout all the rounds. You won't have to wait to

754
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: hear that name a very long David Bailey, one of

755
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: the top players in the draft, visiting the Cowboys at twelve.

756
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna be available then, the Chiefs at nine.

757
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna be available then, but maybe those teams

758
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: will want to trade up. The Cardinals at three. That's

759
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: an interesting one. That's according to me and the rap

760
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: Chet who also reported these visits for r Bel Reese. Again,

761
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of teams that you're going to have to

762
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: move up if they want Reese, Who's going to be

763
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: one of the top players in the draft. You see

764
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah has him at number two in his top fifty.

765
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: Here's Patrick Claybon and the Path of the Draft crew

766
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: to talk about some burning questions of the draft. Draw

00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,040

Speaker 12: We're back here on Patch to the Draft, Looking forward

00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,319

00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 6: I have not talked to him.

779
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 10: Coach has been in contact with him pretty regularly, and

780
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 10: I think the decision was probably coming soon.

781
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 5: Do you anticipate here in one way or the other

782
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 5: by the NFL Draft?

783
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 6: I would say by the draft, I expect an answer. Yep.

784
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 12: That's one of the burning questions coming into twenty twenty one.

785
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 12: I didn't know that animation was going to be on fire.

786
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: As well.

787
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 12: As we get in to the burning questions for this

788
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 12: twenty twenty six NFL Draft, we'll start there with just

789
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 12: make or break in a situation? Who has the most

790
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 12: make or break first round selection here in this draft?

791
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 13: Bockey oh It asked me to New York Giants. The

792
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 13: Giants are under pressure to get right and get back.

793
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 13: They bring over John Haball. John Harber has a ton

794
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 13: of control and this is his first pick to re

795
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 13: establishing who the Giants are So the player that you

796
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 13: take with this election embodies everything that you believe in,

797
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 13: all those ethos that you talk about. From a cultural standpoint,

798
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 13: this player not only has to represent that, but he

799
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 13: has to play at a high level. So the pick

800
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 13: at five to me is the most critical pick of

801
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 13: John Harbor's era in New York.

802
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: You got to get this one right. You got to

803
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: knock it out of the park.

804
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 12: Next burning question going to you, Lass, the lower third

805
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 12: is on fire. Now, which team do you think is

806
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 12: most likely to trade back into the first round.

807
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 14: I'd go with Arizona and monte Asin for it. They

808
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 14: would make the most sense. I mean, look, I remember

809
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 14: in two thousand and twenty three he traded back from

810
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 14: three to twelve with the Texans and then traded back

811
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 14: up just from twelve to ten for Paris Johnson, So he's.

812
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 6: Not afraid to move around on draft day.

813
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 14: I could see them not taking a right tackle or

814
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 14: a quarterback obviously a.

815
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 3: Pick number three, but they're both needs for the team.

816
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 14: They might want to jump up for Ty Simpson, for example,

817
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 14: and that's one of the I think that's one of

818
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 14: the trade ups that a lot of people like to

819
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 14: project because if someone was going to go get that

820
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 14: fifth year option on ty Simpson. It might be Arizona.

821
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 14: It might make sense if Jacoby Brissett there. They added

822
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 14: Gardner Minshew, so you're not even in position to be

823
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 14: a second quarterback. You can really sit there safely and

824
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 14: learn the game if you're Ty Simpson. And of course

825
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 14: right tackle Max Ianachor or Caleb Lomeu could be there

826
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 14: if they traded into the back half of of the

827
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 14: first round for a right tackle as well. So I

828
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 14: think that is a team that makes the most sense

829
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 14: in terms of what they're looking for, and then who

830
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 14: might be on the board still once you get past

831
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 14: pick number twenty four twenty five.

832
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 12: That burning question leading to an answer about ty Simson,

833
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 12: we'll have more discussion on what has been a hot

834
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 12: topic this draft season and ty Simpson coming up here.

835
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 12: On pass, Steve, let's go to a wide receiver for

836
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 12: you under the radar that we can put on the

837
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 12: radar that everybody needs to be paying attention to.

838
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 15: For me, that wide receiver has to be Ted Hurst

839
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 15: from a or just State. This young man is six

840
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 15: foot three, two hundred and eighteen pounds, can run every

841
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 15: route on a route tree and I know I'm gonna

842
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 15: blow you out of water with this one, Bucky, but

843
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 15: I'm gonna just go ahead and say it. He reminds

844
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 15: me of Larry Fitzgerald his ability to attack the football.

845
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 15: Every time he's catching the football, it's in his hands.

846
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 15: He's a big guy that can moves. He doesn't sit

847
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 15: in the slot. He does all of his work on

848
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 15: the outside. And a lot of people are gonna say, well,

849
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 15: look at his competition. Man, you don't get to pick

850
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 15: your competition. All you get to do is slay your competition.

851
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 15: And that's not his fault. And that's what Ted Hurst

852
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 15: has been doing. And that's what he did at the

853
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 15: Senior Bowl, and I expect him to continue to do

854
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 15: that in the NFL.

855
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 13: Never for this spicy we talking about a gold jacket comparison.

856
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 3: I like it though.

857
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 13: He is an outstanding player, a natural ex receiver.

858

891
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: of defensive linement is between twelve percent and thirty nine percent.

892
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 5: He has six. I mean he doesn't. He looks like
