1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Just spent feels like 2 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: ten hours, but I think it was two. With Coward, 3 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: we hopped on right after the Cowboys picked the guard 4 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: from Bama and went for the entire first round, so 5 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: you can go check that out. We just reacted pick 6 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: after pick after pick, a couple of trades in there, 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: and as we sit here right now, it's eight point 8 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: fifty three Pacific Standard time. Shador Sanders was not selected 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: in the first round obviously, Jackson Dart was, so we'll 10 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: kind of talk about that. I'll hit on a couple 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: other things. I just wanted to get a couple more 12 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: thoughts out. I put a lot out with Colin. It's 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: been it's been a long It's a long day because 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: you kind of wait for it like a like a 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: football game, and then it's like a slow bleed throughout 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: the draftft. But the first round is always really fun, 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: so was the second round. Third day's a little tough, 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: but tonight was really really fun. Had a couple whoa 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: didn't see that coming, which always adds to the draft 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: is when something happens that nobody saw coming. And I 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: will hit on that off the top, actually, because I 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: think we really learned a valuable lesson about how you 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: can't believe a damn thing. But before we dive in 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: to anything, NFL Draft twenty twenty five in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: You know I gotta tell you about my friends.

Do not 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: expect the New York Giants at pick three to take 46 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders. But if I told you that they traded 47 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: back into the twenties, I'd be like, I bet that's 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: when they pulled the trigger. 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: And they did. 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: They traded back into the twenties and they just took 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart. Now I don't necessarily agree with this. I 52 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: think Shador Sanders is a better player than Jackson Dart, 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: but like the league disagrees, because we have been talking 54 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: about this player really for years. He obviously plays on 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: a team with the Heisman Trophy winner guy that you know, 56 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Jacksonville just moved up three spot. They traded a future 57 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: first round pick to draft a guy. He does have 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: a position. He plays them both, but like we don't, 59 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: and they're probably given a press conference right now, they'll 60 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: probably try to play him at both. Whatever. Who's just 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: one of the most unique players we've ever seen in 62 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: the draft. Colorado Dion Sanderses' son does not get drafted, 63 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: And now you start looking at it like Titans aren't 64 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: gonna take him? Are the Browns gonna take him? Does 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy HASLM get involved? I mean, they have the two 66 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: first round picks next year. It feels like that would 67 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: be their move to get a quarterback. But maybe they 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: pulled the trigger early in the second round. The Giants 69 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: now no longer need a quarterback. A lot of these 70 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: bad teams. What was a shitty situation for Shador in 71 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: terms of like trying to generate buzz We had heard 72 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: forever and I just believe it. You hear something enough times, 73 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: it shows you the power of like propaganda, because during 74 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: the draft season something can just get thrown out there. 75 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: Enough is like Mike Tomlin loves Shador the fiftieth time 76 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: you hear it, you're like, God, Mike to or Sanders, 77 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: that's his guy. And the Pittsburgh Steelers who don't have 78 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Aaron Rodgers is swimming in the ocean. He's 79 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: got personal issues, he's got a new dog. Who knows 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: if he's even gonna play. They don't know. He's told 81 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: everybody like do not wait for me? And the Pittsburgh 82 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: Steelers like, yeah, we're gonna just take a position player. 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: Was gonna take a take alignment. It's like, so Mike 84 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: Townland liked him, but like not that much, you know, 85 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: didn't didn't didn't like love love them. And the Rams 86 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: is like, oh, could the Rams take a quarterback? They 87 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: got the Atlanta Falcons, who I'm sorry, have no clue 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: what they're doing. If the trust me, I've purchased some 89 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: poor stocks, there is one right now that it It 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: couldn't be any more in the red. I would love 91 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: to get out. I'm just so far in the red 92 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: I might as well just write it out a little bit. 93 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: If the Atlanta Falcons were a stock, I would short 94 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: to live and bleep out of them. And the Atlanta Falcons. 95 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: I think I told this to Colin. I think the 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Rams plan on taking a player. Now. I don't necessarily 97 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: think they were gonna take quarterback, but I would imagine 98 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: they had some discussions and they got a call out 99 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: of the blue from the Atlanta Falcons that were like, hey, 100 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: how about a twenty twenty six first round pick. Wait 101 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: to trade up in the top couple of picks next year. No, no, no, Like, 102 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna trade in the mid twenties right now and 103 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: take a defensive lignment. Like, okay, I mean the Jacksonville 104 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: trades crazy, but at least they get an awesome prospect. Like, 105 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: I think that moves nuts. I think anytime you're a 106 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: new GM and a new head coach, you do not 107 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: know your team. So to make crazy moves without knowing 108 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: your team. Andy Reid, John harbaughd Dan Campbell, Sean McVeigh, like, 109 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: these guys know their team, so if they want to 110 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: get aggressive and move up. Years ago, when Dimitrov traded 111 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: up for Julio Jones and Belichick told him not to 112 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: do it, he knew his team. He had been the 113 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: GM of the team for a while. Newest strengths, newest 114 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: weaknesses just understood like what he had to work with. 115 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: When you're brand new on the job and you haven't 116 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: coached one day in OTA's let alone a real game, 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: you can't know your team. It's it's literally impossible. So 118 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: to make a big move and you know me, I'm 119 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: all for being aggressive is borderline malpractice. I think it's insane. 120 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Now you would say the Atlanta Falcons, you know, know 121 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: their team, but to trade up to the mid twenties 122 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and give a first round pick the following year for 123 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: like the six or seventh linemen on the board is insanity, 124 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Like I thought the Jacksonville trade was crazy. My jaw dropped. 125 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: I think it's insanity what the Atlanta Falcons did. Like 126 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: it's not that Shador Sanders didn't get picked, Like that's 127 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: not that crazy, like we've been hearing for a while. Like, guys, 128 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: he might not get selected if the Saints don't take him, 129 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: if the Giants don't take them, we all assumed the 130 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: Steelers would. Well, clearly we had been lied to that 131 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: wasn't true. He might like the guy not enough to 132 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: take him at pick twenty one, and he's gonna go 133 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: in the second round where historically, like I've been watching 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: the I'm old enough to remember when guys used to 135 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: get drafted in the second round And Derek Carr became 136 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: an immediate starter for the Raiders and within a couple 137 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: of years they were a playoff team. Andy Dalton drafted 138 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: in the second round, immediate starter for the Cincinnati Bengals, 139 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I think, went to the playoffs like five or six 140 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: straight years. Jimmy Garoppolo into the second round a couple 141 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: of years in, became a starter, highest paid player the league, 142 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: forty nine ers let him to Super Bowl. Like I 143 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: said this the other day, Listen, it is it's cool 144 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: to get drafted really high. From a financial standpoint, you 145 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: make way more money. That's that's undisputable. So if you're 146 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: Abdull Carter, you would rather get drafted to pick three 147 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: than be Jalen Walker at pick fifteen because you're gonna 148 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: make way more in your media contract. But that does 149 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: not guarantee your success, like Abdull Carter. Like I'm pro 150 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: Abdual Carter. I think he's an elite prospect, but like 151 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: if he's gonna become a star player, like he has 152 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: to do it. Like in the NFL, you got to produce. 153 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: This is in the NBA where once you're drafted highs 154 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: like love this guy's name even though he's always injured, 155 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: give him his max. That's not the way the NFL works. 156 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Half this first round will not have their fifty year 157 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: option picked up. Like the meritocracy kicks in pretty quickly. 158 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: You get a little bit of a scholarship when you're 159 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: a really high pick, but eventually, like within the first 160 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 1: year or two, like you got to produce to stay 161 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: on the field. And it does not determine your success 162 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: or failure. We see, guys, I've been going to training 163 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: camps in the NFL for almost fifteen years now, and 164 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times like I can't 165 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: wait to watch the second round pick and you get 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: there at practice and the sixth rounder looks better. Or 167 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch the first round pick and 168 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: you get there in the third round, or it looks 169 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: like the star. So no one knows, no one, We're 170 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: all taking educated guesses. It makes this fun and I 171 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: enjoy it, You enjoy it. We all enjoy it. But 172 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: nobody knows. So shador I would imagine they had a 173 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: decent gauge of like this was a possibility. But this 174 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: does not determine his success or failure, just like for 175 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: all these guys. I mean, think how lucky some of 176 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: the guys that went in the twenties. Malik Starks, who 177 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: is obviously or Malachi Starks, excuse me, it is from Georgia. 178 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: All he knows is winning and he just gets to 179 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: go to the Baltimore Ravens. John Campbell. They had a 180 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: down year at Alabama. When they win ten games, you 181 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: know all that guys used to is going to the playoffs, 182 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: competing for Natty's he gets to go to the Eagles. 183 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: Like the teams that draft in the twenties in a 184 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: draft like this get guys and we saw it last year, 185 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: like these are the people that are gonna play in 186 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Like I like Travis Hunner a lot, and 187 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: I would have taken him the top couple picks as well. 188 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have traded up for him like they did, 189 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: but big time prospect. He's I think Jacksonville's not gonna 190 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: be any good and he's gonna play in games that 191 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: are not gonna matter, you know, Ashton Genty, Like, I'm 192 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: pretty sure they're gonna be the fourth best team in 193 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: that division. So even if he's an awesome player, one, 194 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: if you're down a lot in games, your defense not 195 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: that good. Do they have an explosive offense, everyone can 196 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: kind of focus on you. We saw it was Sakwon Barkley, 197 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: who is a much better prospect. It's difficult you get 198 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: to go to these good teams. I mean, Colin and 199 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: I were like, of course, Jim Harbaugh gets one of 200 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: the best running backs in a draft loaded with running 201 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: backs for the Chargers. So now the Chargers have a 202 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: good offensive line, they got multiple running backs, they got 203 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: a good young quarterback. They have a really good defense, 204 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: an excellent defensive coordinator. They're gonna be good. Like the 205 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: teams in the twenties, it feels like always draft so 206 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: much better than teams in the single digits and the 207 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: high teens, because it's like some teams don't know what 208 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: they're doing. It's why they always draft high and the 209 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: same teams. Like how long have the Ravens been been 210 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: drafting between picked twenty four and thirty the entire internet age, right, 211 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs like one thing Andy will do is he 212 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: will take swings on players because they're drafted the end 213 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: of the first round. Like I thought, I expected them 214 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: to go with the running back, and they went with 215 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: the tackle from Ohio State, who I think had some 216 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: question marks, you know, on off the field injuries and 217 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: off the field. I don't know if exactly like he's 218 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: a you know, perfect right up in terms of the 219 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: intangible stuff, but from a talent standpoint, there's no disputing 220 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: the ability. And last year their offensive line wasn't good enough, 221 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: so it was worth the risk. And sometimes you've got 222 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: to take some risks. Right, But I think there's a 223 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: balance of like taking a risk at the end of 224 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: the first round and drafting a guy like that and 225 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: making a trade like the Atlanta Falcons made. I just think, 226 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: under no circumstances can you go from trading a future 227 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: first round pick for a guy that's I would say, 228 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: universally not viewed upon as a top five player at 229 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: his position in the draft. Literally, there were four or 230 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: five guys at his position. They were drafted ahead of 231 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: him in the round. I said this to Colin, and 232 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll find out over the next twenty four hours. 233 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: But I would be stunned if a team is ever 234 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: in the Internet age, maybe this happened in the seventies 235 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: and the eighties, a team has gone from the middle 236 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: of the second round traded up to the middle or 237 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean the middle of the twenties. So not like 238 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: in the top ten, going to like pick twenty four 239 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: to twenty five given a future first round pick for 240 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: a non quarterback, and I don't even know if it's 241 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: ever happened with a quarterback. I think that's insanity. I 242 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: felt good about this last year when now I picked 243 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: the Saints. I was wrong, but I said, the Atlanta 244 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: Falcons are not gonna win that division. I feel like 245 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: that again is don't think they know what they're doing, 246 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: especially if you're the Rams. Can you imagine getting that 247 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: phone call? I thought about this when Cleveland got the 248 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: phone call. So wait, you want to go from five 249 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: to two and you're gonna give us a second round 250 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: pick and next year's first round pick? Like, are you sure? 251 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Did Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry look at each other like, 252 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: pretend we need to talk about this so we actually 253 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: think this is a tough discussion or did Jimmy Haslam 254 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: just go say yes, say yes. I can't imagine, and 255 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: I get Raheem Morris and Sean McVeigh are close buddies, 256 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: they're good friends, close pals. The phone call when what's 257 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: his name? The general manager from Atlanta, Terry Fono, calls 258 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: less Need and Sean McVay, and they got them. Who knows, 259 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: they're probably like the who even knows where they're having 260 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: the draft this year, probably out in the middle of 261 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: the ocean in the Pacific. That's some island. And they 262 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: get that call, that on that phone and they're on 263 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: speakerphone and they're looking at each other like, is this 264 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: guy serious? Are are we speaking the same language? Are 265 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: these guys on drugs? This guy's take an edible? Are 266 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: are they taking edibles? In Atlanta? The Arts are blank 267 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: pass away. Is no one watching what's going on in 268 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: the Atlanta draft room? And then you look and because 269 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: even the Giants like what they had to trade for 270 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart, which I think is pretty bold because more 271 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: than likely, if I was a betting man, you'd go, well, 272 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: that Joe Shane and Brian day Ball are not gonna 273 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: be there in twenty twenty six. So whoever the new 274 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: coach and GM come in, they're gonna have to like 275 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's gonna be on their team. Now. They drafted 276 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: him in the twenties, not picked three or four, so 277 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: there's a little less pressure, but still like that, if 278 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: you're coming into a job, there is some pressure to 279 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: pretend to like the guy. Typically that happens in those 280 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: in those interviews. Once I fired day Ball and Shane, 281 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: it's like the owner's gonna want you to be at 282 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: least pro Jackson Dart and Jackson Dart well, you know 283 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: he's a transfer guy from USC to all miss been 284 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: around Lane seeing some shit kind of a weird room. 285 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: I mean Russell Wilson, Like, if I'm Shador, I'm kind 286 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: of glad that I don't have to go into a 287 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: room with Jamison and Russell. Jameis is cool, but the 288 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson experience, like I just would want no part 289 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: of that. And the thing if I'm Jackson Dart or 290 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: if I was Shador and I had gone into that room, 291 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna think I'm better than Russell Wilson pretty quickly. 292 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: Now Jamis is kind of a roller coaster ride, but 293 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: pretty clear, like Jamis will just be the backup, whether 294 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: that's Russell starting or the rookie starting. But are they 295 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games? Russell Wilson. The Pittsburgh Steelers, 296 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: who are a much better run organization, have a much 297 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: better team. Once it got cold outside that they couldn't 298 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: win with the guy, and now you take Russell to 299 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: a much worse team. I love them the league neighbors, 300 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: who doesn't. I mean, he's a freak talent. He's probably 301 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: one of the more talented wide receivers to come out 302 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: of the draft in recent memory. Doesn't mean it's gonna 303 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: be the best player, but just pure talent. Got some 304 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: concussion issues last year. You know, I think their defense. 305 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: People keep talking about their defensive line. Yeah, Dexter Lawrence's sweet. 306 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: Kevon Thibodeau. That's good. Brian Burns good player, but given 307 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: what they're paying him, what they gave up like a 308 00:15:49,800 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: little overrated.

I think right now, 342 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: if you're an Eagle fan, I don't want to say 343 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: like Kevin Durant Warriors, because that was truly it wasn't fair. 344 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: Like as long as they were healthy, they were a 345 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: lock to win the championship, and they won two straight 346 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: and then it took like an Achilles' injury and a 347 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: clay acl for them not to beat the Rafters. So 348 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: football is not that. But I do think as we 349 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: sit here right now, they bring back Bond. You know, 350 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter could really take a next step another year 351 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: with Fangio. Their DB's are really good. You add John Campbell, 352 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: the linebacker from Alabama. The only guys they draft are 353 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: big school guys. And Colin and I we rattled off like, 354 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: look at this first round. There's a Boise State and 355 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: there's you know, a Colorado in there. Now, Colorado got 356 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: it because of Dion if it wasn't like he would 357 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: have been at Florida State. That's where Travis Hunter was 358 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: supposed to go. The entire first round is basically Ohio State, Michigan, Bama, Georgia. 359 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't this isn't rocket science and when 360 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: all else fails, I would just draft one of the 361 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: guys from the top four or five programs, especially with 362 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: nil Like the best players are all going to be 363 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: consolidated at the top twelve ish programs because they have 364 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: all the money and they have all the resources to 365 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: get these guys, and even if you are a good player, 366 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna steal you away, like what we've seen 367 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: these last couple of years with Jent staying at Boise 368 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: State and Mitchell two years ago at Toledo, and I 369 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: would put Drake May as well at North Carolina. Those 370 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: guys are going to be outlier situations. Typically. I think 371 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: those type players are not going to turn down these offers, 372 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: and they're gonna end up at Oregon, at Texas, at 373 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: Ohio State, at Michigan. So it wouldn't shock me if 374 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: in the next couple of years we have a draft 375 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: that is literally like five schools. It's just like Michigan, 376 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, Bama. You know, if USC ever 377 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: were to get good with their money, Oregon, you know, Miami, 378 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 1: like the schools with all the money, and it's just 379 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: you just consolidate all the top talent and forever. Like 380 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: college basketball was like that for a long time because 381 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: why they were paying guys under the table and they 382 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: were like eight nine guys that really mattered in Kentucky, 383 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: Duke North Carolina kind of had the market fucking cornered. 384 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: And that's what it kind of feels like in college 385 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: football right now. And it's gonna continue to be like that. Now. 386 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Maybe with the revenue sharing there's a little more equality 387 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: spread across the board in terms of finances, but even 388 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: if that's the case, nil will still exist and that'll 389 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: just be to supplement the revenue sharing. So it's like, yeah, 390 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: I'll pay you a million dollars with the revenue sharing, 391 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: and my collective will get you another million dollars, so 392 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: we'll pay you too. So it's still gonna be competitive 393 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: in Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas like they're Michigan. They're 394 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna be dead set on getting the best guys like 395 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: they always have my entire life. And I think we saw, 396 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean the amount of guys from the best schools 397 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: to night it was crazy, I mean awesome. For Boise State. 398 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: I mean I would imagine that's the highest guy they've 399 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: ever had drafted. Especially as a running back. It's gotta 400 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: be cool. And he's right down the street from them. 401 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: Maybe not the street, but it's a it's not that 402 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: far of a plane flight. And I don't know what 403 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: the drive is, but it's definitely drivable Vegas to to 404 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: Boise State. So uh, we will be back uh tomorrow. 405 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do like a live thing on 406 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: YouTube before the second round starts. I think three Pacific 407 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: Standard time, and then I will have Uh, I'll do 408 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: a podcast for Saturday, basically just a reaction to the 409 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: second in the third round, Uh, and I'll do two 410 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: for YouTube, We'll do a couple. We'll just split those 411 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: up into videos. And I would imagine tomorrow, Uh, we 412 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: get some players traded. I mean, we know guys that 413 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: are on the block like Mark Andrews, Dallas Goddard, you 414 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: know cousins. Could he could he be dealt? Uh? You 415 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: know Jalen Ramsey, Tyreek Hill. So and I'm sure there 416 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: are countless other names of veteran guys that are in 417 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: the NFL that could be dealt. So we will have 418 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: you cover tomorrow and Uh, what a night, What a night. 419 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: So we will talk soon and get some rest and 420 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: see us soon. The volume yeah,
