Straight Fire for Friday, 3 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: April twenty second. Holy hell, did we have a night 4 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: in the association and O M G. Yes, I can 5 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: say that I'm a grown man, but I can say, 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: oh MG, do we have a great interview with you 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: to get you all fired up for the NFL Draft 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: going into the weekend. Tony Pauline, longtime NFL draft analysts 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: for Pro Football Network, He's got a bunch of stuff. Uh, 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to hear this. How many quarterbacks go 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: in the first round? How many receivers? Debo? Is Deebo 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: Samuel potentially on the move or is he just trying 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: to get twenty five million a year? Tony Pauline brings 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: the noise in the funk. But before we get to Tony, 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't even know which game to start with. Rob. 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: I will confess it was my fifteen year wedding anniversary 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: on Thursday. Well, thank you, Rob. Well we went out 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: to a nice dinner in downtown l A. You know 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: our drive with the traffic, um, but it was a 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: great meal. I followed the games on my phone. You know, yes, 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: let's listen. Wife gets it. That's part of the deal. 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's my job. Um, And I will just say, 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: luckily there was not a camera on me rob for 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves collapse. I walk out the door. They're 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: up twenty six points. I'm following it on the drive. 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, Memphis is making a run. Okay, that's expected. 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: And then in the third Minnesota gets it back up 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: to twenty and then they absolutely stopped playing basketball and 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: lose at home in has to be one of the 30 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: biggest comebacks in the NFL playoff history, NBA playoff history. 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: But that was just the beginning of the night. Then 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: and I had talked. Luckily, I I didn't make it official, 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: but I had talked about, Oh, Utah game three, they'll 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: make adjustments, they'll the lockdown Brunson, I, Utah, that's gotta 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: be a play right now is waiting on Luca and 36 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: life got in the way. I did not end up 37 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: making a play on this. I had liked Utah here 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: and Dallas leads him wired to wire and Utah loses 39 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: at home to go down to one, and folks, it 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: feels like the end for Gobert Quinsider and Donovan Mitchell right, 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean it has to be you. They're losing to 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: a Luca less Mavericks. I mean Josh Green, the guy 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: who has played off the court in the game one 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: twelve points off the bench. Burtons, I told you guys 45 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: Burton's would have a game. Comes in like a flamethrower, 46 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: hits four threes, fifteen points, Maxi Kleiber, I don't think 47 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: he's missed a shot since the Obama administration. The guy's 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: on fire from deep. When you hit eighteen threes in 49 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: their house, you're gonna win. Rudy Gobert, by the way, 50 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: zero offensive rebounds. I'll just leave it at that. And 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: then in the nightcap, Golden State Denver a thriller with 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: Denver putting up a good fight. And then of course 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: Golden State mind the team that needs a nickname, you know. 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson interrupted Jordan Pool's interview after the game with 55 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Pool Party, Pool Party, and like there's something with Splash 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: Brothers and Pool Party and it's just electric with those 57 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: guys on the court. Jordan Pool, listen, I know people 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: are freaking out about Tyrese, Maxie and Philly. I get it, 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, Rob, I give you Jordan Pool or Tyrese 60 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: MAXI right now, who you taking Tyrese Maxie? No, stop it, 61 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: get out of town. Really yeah. Now, I'm not not 62 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: saying nothing disrespected. Jordan Pool is great, but this might 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: be quite possibly the worst matchup for the Denver Nuggets. 64 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: That because they are they have probably the worst fact 65 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: court in the playoffs. Um, they weren't deep before when 66 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: they had Jamal Murray, but without Jamal Murray there dreadfully thin. 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: No Michael Porter Jr. On the wing, So they have 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: a slow footed center who can't jump over a phone book. 69 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: But he's the m v P. But that's all I 70 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: keep hearing. He have to bring other season awards, Okay, 71 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: and then you got terrible guard play. So the Warriors 72 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: can get whatever they want against Denver. So if Tyrese 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Maxie used the answer, I know I overhyped it. But 74 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: late in the game on social media, there was a 75 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: moment where Draymond and Steph Curry were doing a two 76 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: man game and they were I mean it ended with 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: a Curry missed running like baseline one hander Rob, but 78 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: the sequence of passes there were like three or four. 79 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: Draymond Curry cuts and passes in like a nine second span. 80 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: That just left my mouth, just like, Oh my gosh, 81 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: did that just happened? It is like they share a brain. 82 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: It's incredible what they were able to do together. Um 83 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: and there. I don't even know the Curries yet, but 84 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: he's damn near close. Nine of seventeen twenty seven points, 85 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: Jordan Pool nine thirty seven points, Clay six threes, twenty 86 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: six points, Draymond Green just you know, six points tennis 87 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: is two steals. Um. One of them came on Yokich 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: as he as Yokis tried to post up Draymond Green 89 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: down three with like a minute left, and Draymond straight 90 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: up picked his ass clean. M v P. Give me 91 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: a freaking break, guys. I know, a regular season award? 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Just stop, just a no planet. Is he the best 93 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: player in the league when it matters? If you want 94 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 1: to give awards for the regular season, I mean, go ahead, 95 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: just give it to the leading scorer, leading stat guy. 96 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: Go for go for it, do it, do it. But 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any of this. Yoki is 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA. He ain't. You're talking 99 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: to anybody who you starting a team with. And Yokich 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: is he in the top five? Rob, Oh, I don't 101 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: think that. I mean, I'm not even a huge and 102 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: beat guy. I'm going and beat over Yoki obviously. Uh, 103 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: you know you've taken many other superstars like listen, Yoki 104 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: is a very good basketball player. He ain't built for 105 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I said this before. The playoffs are not 106 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: for centers or for wings. And Yokich is now done. 107 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: They're down, oh three, A nice night, two and one. Um, Rob, 108 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: I just I need to get my arms around what 109 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: happened in Memphis, because I've watched the condensed version, just 110 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: to make sure to miss anything on YouTube. I've read 111 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: the Star Tribune, I read the box score, I read 112 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: the you know, like the Associated Press recap, I run 113 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: on social media. I still am struggling to grasp how 114 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: you lead by twenty six and one half twenty in 115 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: the other half after they cut it the single digits, 116 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: sixteen and the fourth at home, and you lose. And 117 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: I guess we've got to begin with Karl Anthony Towns, 118 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: who's running his mouth. We're in Minnesota. Now, we're in Minnesota. 119 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: And then Karl Anthony Towns goes out in thirty three 120 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: minutes and takes four shots. He was three of four. 121 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: Nas Reid came off the bench, big kid from LSU 122 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: ten minutes, one of five shooting. If Karl Anthony Towns 123 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: isn't the biggest fraud in these NBA Playoffs first round, 124 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't really know who is. Remember this is a 125 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: guy who did nothing against the Clippers in the plane game. 126 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards bailed them out, and now we got to 127 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns at home, registering five fouls, four turnovers 128 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: in thirty three minutes. He attempted four shots. I just 129 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: I can't comprehend Jaden McDaniels. The is he a rookie, 130 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: second year guy? Whatever? He is? Like he's a promising 131 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: young player. Oh, I'm sorry, he's a third year bro. 132 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: Jade McDaniels out of Washington, twenty one year old kid 133 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: comes off the bench, takes seven shots. Rob any idea. 134 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: What the hell is going on with Karl Anthony Towns 135 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: As a Knicks fan? I don't even know if I 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: want him anymore? Wow, you're jumping off the band wagon 137 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: that quick. I remember us having multiple NBA guests and 138 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: you find his shoe worn your way in. You know, 139 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: what are the chances that Carl Anthony Downs comes out 140 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: the Knicks? You know as a cat coming in New York? 141 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Was can't the third best Minnesota timberwol on the floor 142 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 1: after your guy former Laker Dean Delo Russell and Anthony Edwards? 143 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: And you could actually go Patrick Beverley, He no, I mean, 144 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: and look, you made a point about him being invisible 145 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: in game three. This has been a trend for him. Okay, 146 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: going back to the playing game, so they they basically 147 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: have played four playoff games. He has more fouls than 148 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: baskets and three of them. Okay, Karl Anthony Towns is 149 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: a finesse big man. You know that that's what he is. 150 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: He'd rather hang out at the three point line and shoot. 151 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: He's got a big body, but he doesn't really like 152 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: to use it. And all that Memphis is doing is 153 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: swarming him and making him uncomfortable. And not only is 154 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: he going into a shell offensively, but defensively. He's getting 155 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: frustrated because he's not getting off on the other end, 156 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: and he's committing stupid fouls over and over and over 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: because he gets in his head's not right. Um, karl 158 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Towns is just I can't say he's costing himself 159 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: money because he's already a max player and somebody's going 160 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: to max him out. But you know, in the grand 161 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: scheme of things, you you know he's going to be 162 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: all NBA, I think, But I don't think anyone really 163 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: views him as the top fifteen twenty player after this series. No, 164 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: it's so weird. Rob. I hear you say he's finas 165 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: they pushed him around, they double him in my head 166 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: and I guess I'm thinking like a young kid here 167 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: with the memes. But I think of that Kobe meme 168 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: where he's looking and then he shakes his head and 169 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: he keeps saying soft like who's he by the way, 170 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: who's he talking about there? Yeah? Classic Dwight Howard Kobe. 171 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: I love those teams. So Carlinton Towns is soft a 172 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: f and I don't know. Can they win this series? Now? 173 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm not exaggerating here. They scored thirty 174 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: nine in the first quarter, they scored twelve. In the 175 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: second quarter. They came out of locker room hair on 176 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: fire thirty two points. They scored twelve, and the fourth, 177 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: Like what a Jekyl and High team? Are they bipolar? 178 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe a loss like that, 179 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: because obviously I had money on Minnesota, But Rob, this 180 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: is a team that you jump out to a twenty 181 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: six point leader at home, you don't lose that. I 182 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: don't know how they bounced back from this. And again 183 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: it ain't like John Rant went off. Okay, this was 184 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: a Brandon Clark twenty points off the bench and tie 185 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: Us Jones, who I really like a lot, the former 186 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: Duke point guard. He is solid. He had eleven. I 187 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: think he's a former timber Wolf. I'm not sure. Rob. Well, 188 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: you know what's funny is even though I picked the 189 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: Grizzlies to win the series, I had him in six 190 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: before it started. I will admit that the Minnesota Timberwolves 191 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: talent level, especially at the top, is much better than Memphis. 192 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: Their top three guys, they're all top two picks for 193 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: a reason. You know, John Morant, who I think is fantastic. 194 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: He's showing in these playoffs that you know you can 195 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: get him out of his game in certain ways. He 196 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: maybe not as high end of a skilled player at 197 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: this point in his career, he's very you know, very athletic, 198 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: very aggressive, but his skill level maybe not hasn't caught 199 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: up to him yet. But when you get outscored in 200 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: the last thirteen minutes of a game forty two to twelve, 201 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how much talent you have. That's like 202 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: an effort thing, that's heart thing. And Karl Anthony Towns 203 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: is folding before our eyes. D'Angelo Russell has had his 204 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: hard questions since he got drafted. It's part of the 205 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: reason why he's bouncing around because it's people are unsure 206 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: exactly what he is motivated by in the NBA. And 207 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards is still just a kid. You know, he's 208 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: a pull. You mentioned Anthony Edwards. If you're starting a team, 209 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: now you go Anthony Edwards or John Moran. Oh, Athony 210 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: Edwards wing. I think I'm with you, bro. I like 211 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: this kid Edwards. I don't know why the team isn't 212 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: his yet. This is not Karl Anthony Towns team. It's 213 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: just not I'm sorry, guys, I'm not trying to start 214 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: the pot. I'm just you watch them play. This statue 215 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: gave more foulsand baskets and three or four playoff games 216 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: like at some point you gotta stop being overly amped 217 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: and like come back down to reality. Anthony Edwards is 218 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: what twenty one and he's like the mature one. By 219 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: the way, Yes, Tias Jones former Minnesota Timberwold four years there. 220 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: Now he has a dagger of a game and killed him. 221 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: That's a hell of a performance. I think Memphis has 222 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: a series now, just like I think Dallas has a series. 223 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: I am curious on the Dallas series. Rob does the 224 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: return of Luca if it happens in game four, does 225 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: that throw off the MAVs? Like, I don't know, It's 226 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: just they're playing really well these last two games with that. 227 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I would hold him out 228 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: as long as possible. You know what, even if he 229 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: thinks he's healthy, I would say, you know what, we 230 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: have controlled this series. We're up to one. Utah is 231 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: self combusting. You know, we're not for Minnesota. They would 232 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: be the big story I think this morning, because because 233 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: that team is falling apart before our eyes. Donovan Mitchell 234 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: looks like he already has eyes out of town. Rudy 235 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: Gobert is hated by pretty much everybody around that team, 236 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: and Quinn Snyder. It looks like him and Nick Nurse 237 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: were in a race to see who can get to 238 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: the Laker job first. So you know, the Utah Jazz 239 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: are falling apart. And if I'm Dallas, not just for 240 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: the chemistry reasons, but a calf injury is one of 241 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: those things that you can reaggravate very quickly, very easily. 242 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: So you want to hold him out as long as 243 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: possible because with the way that this playoffs are setting up, 244 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: where everybody is getting hurt, and it's part of the 245 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: reason why the Golden State Warriors are now installed as 246 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: the favorites to win it all. According to our friends 247 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: at the MGM grand you know, if you can just 248 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: get healthy, you've got a chance to win this thing. Yeah, 249 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: that's a great point, and let's that let's dovetail quickly. 250 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: We'll just do the best bet here to wrap up 251 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: NBA before we get to Tony Pauline our NFL Draft guests. Um. 252 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: Two of the three games tonight feature teams with massive 253 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: injuries from when the last time we saw the Boys. 254 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: Obviously Devin Booker's loss. They're saying potentially three to four 255 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: weeks on Devin Booker now they're saying he's definitely out 256 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: for the rest of the series against New Orleans. Three 257 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: or four weeks would probably have him missing a significant 258 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: portion of the of the Dallas Maverick series, and that 259 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: would assume Luca is fully healthy. Is a big game 260 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: tonight for Phoenix. It is kind of weird, is it not, 261 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: Robbed that last year against the Lakers, they are down 262 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: to the one and a d gets hurt. They move on. 263 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: This year, Phoenix up one nothing, Devin Booker goes down. 264 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: We'll see injuries obviously a big story. I don't know, Rob, 265 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: who you got tonight. Oh you know what, I like Phoenix. 266 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: I think that they've been the best team all season. 267 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: As good as Devin Booker is. You know, you don't 268 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: dominate the league the way they did all year by 269 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: being a one man show. I think that they they're 270 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: well coached, and I think this is there. You know, 271 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: New Orleans still at least the year away from being, 272 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, legitimate contending type of team. And I think Phoenix. 273 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: I think they get this win and I think that 274 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: they cover the spread. So this part will surprise you. 275 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: This game opened as a pick them, pick them, New 276 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: Orleans versus Devin Booker Less Phoenix suns in New Orleans. 277 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to hear a 278 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: damn word. That is it called the Smoothie King Center? 279 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: Is that what the movie? King Center? Baby? Act like, 280 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to act like. That's like 281 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: a difficult place to play. I think Chris Paul has 282 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: played in that stadium. Did he play for New Orleans 283 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: way back in the day? Yes, for many years? Right 284 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: right right? If Phoenix doesn't winns, they're in deep deep 285 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: kim she As. My dad likes to say, I don't 286 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: even really know what that Kim she is food, But 287 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how. I didn't know that was like 288 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: a thing. I guess it's deep poop. But you say 289 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: Kim she to kind of sound cool. Anyways, Um, so 290 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: Phoenix is now favored by one and a half. Then 291 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: you have the Chris Middleton injury situation, and they go 292 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: to Chicago. Now Chris Middleton apparently mc l Robert sounds 293 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: like he's done for that series. So ken Yanas prevail 294 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: against a Bulls team going home. I don't think Chicago's 295 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: want to playoff series in a long ast time might 296 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: have been like a decade now. Maybe Jimmy Butler got 297 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: got one with Derrick Rose, but I think I think 298 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: Milwaukee could be in some trouble. And now Milwaukee opened 299 00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: up his one and a half point favorites on the 300 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: it's up to two and a half. Obviously this will 301 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: be a Janice game, no doubt. I do wonder without 302 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: the shooting of Middleton, do the Bulls employ the fence 303 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: strategy against the honest that the picket fence that the 304 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: Miami Heat famously did in the bubble where you just 305 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: set up at the fellon and you're like, we're not 306 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: letting like lock arms, like we're not letting you come 307 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: in here. And without Middleton, I just don't know where 308 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: they get the scoring from. So who are you more 309 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: worried about? Rob Bucks or sons Um Because the Chicago Bulls, 310 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, even though they haven't won in the postseason, 311 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: they have guys who have experience in that regard. You know, 312 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: DeMar de Rosen has been in this position plenty of 313 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: times before. It's why he's able to bounce back so 314 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: big in Game two. Um Alex Caruso, who's a role player, 315 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, former Laker Thank you. You know, he's been 316 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: in these moments before. He knows how to you know, 317 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: stay locked in in a certain way Vukovic and that 318 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: hasn't really wanted much, but he's been in the postseason before. 319 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: So because you know, just comparing the Pelicans and the Bulls, 320 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the team that's more experienced 321 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: and the one that has, you know, I think the 322 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: higher end talent. So of those two teams, I'm definitely 323 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: more worried about the Bucks. Yeah, I'll give you all 324 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: the honest props, whatever the whatever, the number is over 325 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: on everything. You know, like vuc Chichen, Pat Williams can 326 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: slow him down. Here's my only thing. I think that 327 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: we're sleeping on the Pells. And I know that they were, 328 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, a popular dog to kick when they were 329 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: down early in the season three and sixteen starred no Zion, 330 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: buffoon of an owner uh GM, just total clown and 331 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: job in trouble. But if you put all that aside 332 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: and just look at this team over the last two months, 333 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: They've got Herb Jones, a great defender on the wing. 334 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: They've got two good scores who can kill you in 335 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: the mid range. They've got size the only thing they 336 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: really lack is three point shooting. But the problem is 337 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: the Son's are a three point shooting team. They're the 338 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: Kings of the mid range. And if you remove Booker, 339 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: I don't know who you start. Are you starting Cam Johnson? 340 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: Is that the move? I don't know if the Phoenix 341 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: has announced it, but I'm looking at it like you know, 342 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: they have Campaign a good backup, they have Cameron Johnson 343 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: a good wing back up. So they got two good 344 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: players off the bench. But Booker is the one guy 345 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: that can't really replace. I mean, he's a solid defender 346 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: and you can run so much stuff for him because 347 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: he's a three point shooter. Uh, he's mid range killer. 348 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: He's almost automatic from the line. I don't know what 349 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: the move is, like Landry shamm it, I don't know 350 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: that you really respect that guy. I think we'll probably 351 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 1: see a lot of small lineups for the Suns, right 352 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: Cameron Johnson in maybe for Eton I don't eaton has 353 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: also been another guy who's like what's he up to? 354 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: So I've I've got some concerns for the Sons. Rob. 355 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: It is so funny. Before the playoffs, all anybody said 356 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: was why you gotta go Suns Bocks. It's gotta be 357 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: Suns Bocks. Two injuries later, the Warriors. Look, I mean, 358 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: I think the Warriors look like the best team in 359 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs so far. Now a lot of people want 360 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: to say Sixers, that's fine, is that you rob Sixers? No, 361 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: the best team has been the Boston Celtics. Oh, well, 362 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: they've only played two games. The other have played three. 363 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: Fair enough, Boston Celtics have been Yes, they've been good. 364 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: Um are they up tonight as well? Oh goodness great, 365 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: No they're not. It's Heat Hawks, which nobody is gonna 366 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: be paying attention to. Yeah, hopefully the Heat can go 367 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: into Atlanta, get the dub and then celebrate it. What's 368 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: that famous strip club at Atlanta, Lou Williams. That would 369 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: be Magic City? Yes, yes, yes, So for picks tonight 370 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: before we get to Tony Pauline up, do I want 371 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: to take Miami on the road. So Miami opened his 372 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: three point favorites. All the money on Atlanta's down to one. 373 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: I'll look at props later. By the way, thank you 374 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: Mike Conley for delivering um on Thursday night. I don't know, man, 375 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: we rob, We just saw two road teams, two road favorites, 376 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: I'm sorry win in Memphis and Golden State. And actually 377 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: we saw three road favorites win right, No, no, actually, 378 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: um sorry, Dallas was a dog. So all three road 379 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: teams one Miami, Milwaukee, Phoenix, three more road winners. I 380 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: don't think, so I'm going with upset city. I will 381 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: go Chicago on the money line, New Orleans on the 382 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: money line, and I'll take Miami by one. Now, yes, yes, 383 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: I was gonna say Trey Young delivers, but I'm not. 384 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. I think Miami chokes about So 385 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: give me Miami and then two upsets Chicago and New Orleans. 386 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: It's it's a bummer for the NBA rob that we 387 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: go into the weekend like the playoffs have been popping 388 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: right injuries nets, and then you get like a Friday 389 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: night of pivotal games and it's like, man, it's heading 390 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: into the weekend.

I know what sports dance want, 402 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: but for everything he doesn't.

Let's welcome into straight fire. 405 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: A guy with a lot of NFL draft experience covers 406 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: the draft for Pro Football Network dot Com. He has 407 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: an explosive Deebo Samuel Report, and most importantly, he is 408 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: a New York Jets fan, a season ticket holder. We 409 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: don't get a lot of those in these waters. Tony Pauline, Tony, 410 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: how are you man? I'm okay, but you know I 411 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm a fan. I am a 412 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: season ticket holder. I haven't missed a game in forty 413 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: one seasons except from the two thousand twenty season. But 414 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: you know it's I now go to to basically barbecue 415 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: my ribs and chicken and uh and go and watch 416 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of the game. It's just, you know, 417 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: I listen, I've been through the whole, the whole, this 418 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: whole rigamarow, you know, except for a few bright spots 419 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: since n Yeah, I mean, hey, the Mark Sentchez back 420 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: to back an f C championship years were glorious. I 421 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: don't think they've made the playoffs since then. Longest rout 422 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Al right now, nobody really cares about 423 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: the Jets except for me and like eleven of our listeners. 424 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: Jets fans are not a large grouping, but we'll get 425 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: to them eventually. I want to start, obviously, to draft 426 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: less than a week away, Tony. I guess, big picture, 427 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: when you zoom out on this draft, it isn't the 428 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: sexiest draft because there's no alpha quarterbacks, or isn't anyone 429 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: quarter There's no quarterback anybody's clamoring for. I don't want 430 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: to say it's a weak draft because there's a lot 431 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: of good prospects, obviously there are every year, but I 432 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: feel like the draft is lacking a little bit of 433 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: juice here at the top. Your thoughts well, it is 434 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: from the media point of view, but you know, if 435 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: you go back years ago, before the league went quarterback crazy, 436 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: it was the impact defensive player that was the most 437 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: coveted come draft day. If you were at the top 438 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: of the draft, if you were selecting the top three 439 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: to five picks, you wanted that impact defensive player. And 440 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: that's what we have this year. We got a bunch 441 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: of tremendous pass rushers, a bunch of terrific defensive lineman. 442 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: We have one outstanding cornerback, and we also have three 443 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: very good offensive tackles. And while the top two tackles 444 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: and not pure left tackles, offensive tackle is also a 445 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: priority come to the NFL draft. So while you know, 446 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: people say this is not a sexy draft, they're smiling 447 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: in war rooms because of the fact that, especially at 448 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: the top, because there's pass rushers, there's tackles, and there's 449 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: corner there's there's at least one cornerback. So uh, and 450 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: there's also the intrigue. I mean, listen, a year ago 451 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: today on your show, you knew that Trevor Lawrence was 452 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: going number one. You knew that Zack Wilson was going 453 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: number two. You know, that San Francisco was taking a 454 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: quarterback number three. I mean, there's still a lot of 455 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: intrigue and you know what's going to happen with those 456 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: early picks, which I think is a great thing. Yeah, um, 457 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: let's start. You know, the edge rushers obviously our paramount 458 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,239 Speaker 1: right now. And there's two guys who were gonna be 459 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: in the top ten who you know, they didn't pop 460 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: during the season or totally dominate, but when you come 461 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: to the measurement season, get them in the spandex uh 462 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: you know, do go through the battery of tests at 463 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: the combine, they pop And Trayvon Walker of Georgia, who 464 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: was you know he I don't. I don't think he 465 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: stood out really in any of the Marquee games this year. 466 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: But then you measure him and he's kind of like, 467 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this guy's like not quite Miles Garrett freakish, 468 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: but he's in that solar system Trayvon Walker and Jermaine Johnson. 469 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: Like does the casual fanning then understand that these guys 470 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: are gonna probably go on the top ten, top twelve. Well, 471 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: if they don't, I mean they're gonna find out real 472 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: soon because they could both go top four. I mean 473 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: the pass rushers can come off the board one to 474 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: three four. I'm gonna slightly disagree with you on both 475 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: of women. Here's why. You know, I understand that people, 476 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, they look at the stats and they look 477 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: at the highlights, and they don't see Trayvon Walker, you know, 478 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: pinning his ears back and rushing up the field and 479 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: attacking the opposing quarterbacks. But he wasn't asked to do 480 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: that at Georgia. You know, if you really get into 481 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: the film, what Trayvon Walker was asked to do where 482 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: the little things that a lot of college defense events 483 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: are an asked to do. Set the edge gap, responsibility, 484 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: drop back off the line, and playing coverage on zone 485 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: blitz is which Georgia did so well with kay Walker 486 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: and the Kobe Dean get out in pursuit laterally to 487 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: make plays against the run at the sidelines. He did 488 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: have or he was credited with thirty two. Quarterback Harvey's 489 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: the most under or to offense. And I understand that 490 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: is a bit of a subjective stat but the fact 491 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: is this, while you want sects quarterback high reason just 492 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: as important because you're disrupting the quarterbacks rhythm. You're making 493 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: him move his feet. Sometimes you make him leave the pocket. 494 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: He's looking away from his primary target. So that he 495 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: did that very well. There's more to being a pass 496 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: rusher and being a defensive endage than just pinning your 497 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: ears back and rushing up the field. That's why I 498 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: like tray Von Walker. I think it's a misnomer to say, well, 499 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: he just shot up draft boards because he had this 500 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: incredible combine, which he did. Jeremy Johnson was a you know, 501 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: it was a different case in the sense that he 502 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: was a pretty good pass rusher at Florida State, and 503 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: that what happened is before the combine, he went to 504 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl and he tore it up. He was unstoppable. 505 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't block him. And for right or wrong, the 506 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl is a kingmaker. I mean, you go to 507 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl and you woo everybody, and you blow 508 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: everybody away. Your draft stock is going to shoot through 509 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: the roof because the Senior Bowl you have the most 510 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: amount of eyes from next level to decision makers, head coaches, 511 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: general managers, assistant general managers, position coaches. They're all they're 512 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: watching you practice in pads and helmet and Jermaine Johnson 513 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: was outstanding denies during during those three days. Yeah, he 514 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: he crushed the senior rol. Let me ask you about 515 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: Johnson before we come back to Walker. So he's already 516 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: I believe, twenty three years old, and I know there 517 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: is something of a stigma in some teams. Just believe, like, listen, 518 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: I don't want a twenty three year old. Give me 519 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: the twenty one year old. You know, if he's twenty three, now, 520 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: did he dominate college because he was twenty two going 521 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: against a bunch of nineteen year old lineman. Do you 522 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: think Johnson is definitely going in the top ten? You 523 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: mentioned top four as a possibility that that would be 524 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: a shocker, But do you think twenty three kind of 525 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: digs it a little bit? Or now? Not at the 526 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: defensive line position, because defensive line, offensive line, you want 527 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: guys that are more physically mature, and it's an advantage, 528 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, to be twenty three or he's I think 529 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be twenty three until the end of 530 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: next season. I think it's twenty two, right, is what 531 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: the situation is. Um, excuse me. You want guys that 532 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: are gonna be physically mature. Sometimes you draft those young 533 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: defensive lineman and they get mauled in the NFL because 534 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: they just can't stand up to the physical rigors. I 535 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna hurt Johnson at all. You know, 536 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: maybe if it was a wide receiver or quarterback, you know, 537 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: exceptional quarterback, it may be a situation where teams may 538 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: raise an eyebrow, But I don't think it is for 539 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson or any defensive linement for that matter. Your 540 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: favorite player from the Georgia defense tony was Trayvon Walker, 541 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: even in the top three that that defense was incredible. 542 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: Watching him against Auburn, I'm starning, not against Alburn against Alabama. 543 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: You know, Jordan Davis, everybody loves Dean flying around like 544 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: did Trayvon Walker during the season. Do you do you 545 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: think did enough to warrant being this guy's the top 546 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: five pick? Absolutely? I mean again, you've got to get 547 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: deep into the film. And it's again what I said before, 548 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: it's more than just pinning your ears back and rushing 549 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: up the field. You know the little things that Trayvon 550 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: Walker did. It did so well, setting the edge gap, responsibility, 551 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: dropping back off a lot of into coverage on zone 552 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: blitz is a lot of college a lot of defensive 553 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: ends even in this draft, really weren't asked to do that, 554 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: and Trayvon Walker did it very well. I don't you know, 555 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: if you really watched the film, there were many times 556 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker had an open shot at the quarterback, but 557 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: his responsibility was to stay over the left tackle, which 558 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: is what he did. If he rushes up the field, 559 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: then he posing quarterbacks, drops a screen pass to a 560 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: running back three yards off a lone of scrimmage, and 561 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: then the running back goes for twenty yards. Trayvon Walker 562 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: is gonna get readed by his coach for not sticking 563 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: with the gap responsibility. And the fact is this, he's 564 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: got tremendous amount of upside. You know, the fact that 565 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: he's six five to seventy, he's an incredible athlete. I 566 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: think the fact is you can put him in a 567 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: four man line. You can put him as a three 568 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: technique tackle or as an interior rusher on passing downs. 569 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: He could eventually grow into a two gap defensive end. 570 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: And again, you really gotta get past the stats and 571 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: watch the entire film, not just the highlights. Yeah, I 572 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: just looked up his birthday. He is a young twenty one. 573 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: December eighteenth, he turns twenty two, almost two full years 574 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: younger than Jermaine Johnson, who's a January birthday. I don't know. 575 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't sound like you think that's a 576 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: big deal. I I kind of interested by that. But 577 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: that brings us to the third defensive end, Cavan Thibodeaux, 578 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: who depending on who you read, uh, I don't know 579 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: who you talk to who you read, he's either slip 580 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: sliding far or this is all a smoke screen and 581 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: he's still going to where are you today? On trayvon 582 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: On Cavan Tibodaux player. I love, he's my number one 583 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: rated player in this year's draft. But the fact is this, 584 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: he could go as early as three to Houston. He 585 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: could slide to ten to the Jets if they don't 586 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: take a pass rusher in the top with that fourth pick. 587 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: When you look at Thibodeaux, he is a versatile, scheme, 588 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: a multi scheme type of defender. You can use him 589 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: out of a three point stance, you can stand him 590 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: over tackle. He plays with great leverage and head level. 591 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: He's explosive up the field. He can change direction and 592 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: attack the quarterback from the backside or catch the ball handler. 593 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: He can drop off the line and play in space. 594 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: Shows some stiffness trying to bend the edge, but I 595 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: still think that's a bit of a blown The problems 596 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: with Cabon Thibodeaux, and they are legitimate because I broke 597 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: the story of Pro Football Network during the combine. Are 598 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: people question his love for football in the sense that 599 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, as I wrote in the article, teams are saying, 600 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: he's acting like he's already there, he's already made it, 601 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: versus working to get there and working to make it. Remember, 602 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: the guy hasn't taken a snap in the on Sunday 603 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: football is and think it's not in the NFL. That 604 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: is a concern. I mean, when you go to the combine, 605 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: that's the biggest job interview or the let's prospects, that's 606 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: the biggest job interview they're ever gonna have. And teams 607 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: want to know that you're gonna walk on nails, You're 608 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: gonna walk barefoot through glass, you know, for your football team. 609 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: They didn't get that sort of feeling from Thibodeaux. There 610 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: is a concern he doesn't play hard. I don't necessarily 611 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: agree with that, but that also comes from people in 612 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: Oregon who said, yeah, if the play is not in 613 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: his immediate vicinity, you know, he takes downs off. I 614 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: think with Thibadel you've got to get a coach that's 615 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: gonna get between his ears. You gotta get a coach 616 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: that's gonna stay on him. You gotta get take get 617 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: a coach that's gonna follow him. You gotta take get 618 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: a coach that's really gonna give him a good kick 619 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: in in the butt. And if you do, you're gonna 620 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: have a phenomenal uh talent on your hands. So is 621 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: that Dan Campbell at two in the Lions or it 622 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: sounds like they kind of have talked themselves into Trayvon Walker, 623 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: a guy who's living in the weight room football football football? Uh, 624 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: where are you on the Walker Thibodeau right now? At two? 625 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think Walker is either gonna go 626 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: one or two. I think there's a legitimate chance that, uh, 627 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars can take him at number one. In fact, 628 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: I wrote that story the end of March at Pro 629 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: Football Network primarily because if he is a Trent Baky 630 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: type of defensive end, He is a long, lean, long 631 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: arm athletic guy who's very explosive, makes a lot of plays. 632 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: You can use him in a variety of ways. That 633 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: is what Trent Mackey likes. Now, the question is the 634 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson like them and what kind of employe is 635 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson gonna have with that first pick? You know, 636 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: because Peterson comes from a Philadelphia system where they use 637 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: sort of undersized type of shorter, explosive guys, the Cavon 638 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: Thibodel types, if you will, I personally think that Houston 639 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: and Lovey Smith would be a great spot for Cavon Thibadeaux. 640 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: I hope, I hope he's selected there, and I hope 641 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: he flourishes. I had that's where I had Thibodeau in 642 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: my mock draft of my Last Week to Houston and 643 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: number three, which leaves my Jets at four and let's 644 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: get into the Jets real quick. You mentioned Ed Dresher, 645 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: I would counter, they don't necessarily need one. I mean, 646 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: you can always use an extra one. Salah love them, 647 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: but I just believe they picked up DJ Reid, the quarnerback. 648 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: He's not a number one. You need a number one 649 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: if you get Gardner at four, I feel like you're set. 650 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: I love Guard, all the traits, everything about this kid. 651 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: I think he's a perfect guy at four. And then 652 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: you have your choice of other edge rusher at ten 653 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: or receiver. I don't know Tony with me for Gardener 654 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: at four. Personally yes, I mean my Gardener is rated 655 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: higher on my board than Jermaine Johnson. I don't think 656 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: that it's going to happen for a couple of reasons. 657 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: Number one, you know you're gonna you're you're likely to 658 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: get a better cornerback at number ten, whether that be 659 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: somehow Gardener falls, whether that needs you're in love with 660 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: Derek Stanley or even the top of the round. Two 661 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: will will be good where there will be good cornerbacks available, 662 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: then you will be able to get a good edge rusher. 663 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two is you know the Jets 664 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: really have to solve this pass rushing problem. I mean, 665 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: you're a Jets fan. The last time the Jets had 666 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: to consistent of pass rusher was John Abraham, who they 667 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: trafted in two thousand. He left the team was two 668 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: thousand six, two thousand and seven be a free agency. 669 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: So every year it's Jets into pass rush. You just 670 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: need a pass rusher. You don't know what you're getting 671 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: back with Karl lawsuit. You don't know if he's gonna 672 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: be a hundred percent. You don't know what you're getting 673 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: with him. So I think that's why it would be 674 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: a pass I should like Jermain Johnson, but let me 675 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: tell you this. I've reported this and I keep hearing this. 676 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: Ikey A. Kandu is in the conversation and the Jets 677 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: are definitely considering him with that fourth UH selection. Icky Quandered, 678 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman from North Carolina State, highly rated player 679 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: I haven't rated behind Evan Neil. He's likely gonna go 680 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: ahead of Evan Neil. That is something to keep an 681 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: eye because the chatter has been getting louder in the 682 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: past couple of weeks that the Jets could absolutely take 683 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: a Quanta with that fourth pick. Yeah. Now, does that 684 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: have a lot to do with Beckton kind of trying 685 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: to eat his way out of the league and being 686 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: slow to return UH from injury. Because they seem like 687 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 1: they're in good shape. They add at Tomlinson, a VT 688 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,919 Speaker 1: we know on the right side is good. The fan 689 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 1: had a solid season, are you saying Beckton's on the outs, 690 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: or do you draft uh A Quanta to play right tackle? Well, 691 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: I think I don't think Quanto is a left tackle. 692 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: I think he's better off as a right tackle. I mean, 693 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: we'll have to see. But the fact is this I've 694 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: been reporting all along. Joe Douglas in the front office 695 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: want to keep Beckton. They want to keep back then 696 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: because to his credit, he did have an outstanding rookie season. 697 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: But the fact is that two thousand twenty draft has 698 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: not worked out for Douglass or the Jets. I mean, 699 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: it's been it's been a bit of a disaster. Bryce 700 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: Hall has been a good player, but you know after that, 701 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's not been good. The coaching staff has 702 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: been down on Mickey Beckton. They like George Fann. Remember 703 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: last year was the first year for Solid and his crew. 704 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: Beckton comes in overweight, he gets hurt the first game, 705 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: and there's George Fann doing everything that they asked him 706 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: to do. And he had a good season and he 707 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: improved and he quickly absorbed the system. So when when 708 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: you're looking at it from the coaching staff, the coutchy 709 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: staff is ready to move on from Beckton. Beckton is 710 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: not the coaching staff player. They were not there when 711 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: he was selected, and then move a Quanta to a 712 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: right tackle if they take Kuanta, I personally think it's 713 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a pass rusher. I continue to hear rumblings 714 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a quantum. It'll be interesting to see 715 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: what happens after that. Yeah, it's kind of disappointing in 716 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: a division where the Dolphins at Tyreek Hill and we 717 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 1: know all Bills. Bills have Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. 718 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: Like there's chatter that maybe the Patriots swoop in for 719 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. I don't they quarterback on a rookie deal. 720 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: They can afford stuff, Tony. It would be upsetting if 721 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: the Jets come out of this without a top cornerback. 722 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: And I think the only guy to go for his Gardner, 723 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: But it sounds like it's not happening. Huh. You know, 724 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: I have not heard Gardner coupled with the Jets at 725 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: that number four pick, and I agree with you. For 726 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: the longest time, I thought that that would be the selection. 727 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: I think it should absolutely be a consideration, but I've 728 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: not heard, you know, I hear pass rusher. I hear 729 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson, I hear Ikey Kwando. I've not heard much 730 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: about the gardener afforded the Jets. All right, let's go 731 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. The first quarterback comes off the board to 732 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons at eight. Now, maybe I'm gonna say 733 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: it's less than fifty fifty. Really they're hypothetically you could 734 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: understand it. But none of the quarterbacks great out a 735 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: top ten selections in this draft. I mean, Malik Willis 736 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: is my number one arter back. There are some teams 737 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,720 Speaker 1: that have Kenny Pikey Grids and the more on quarterback, 738 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: and there are more mid first round choices. Now we've 739 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: seen quarterbacks, you know, through the past couple of decades, 740 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: just get overdrafted, be selected a half a round earlier 741 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: than they should be. I don't think. I think Atlanta 742 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 1: is gonna go more the receiver. With the receiver, whether 743 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: it be Garrett Wilson, maybe Jamison Williams. I think they'll 744 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: go with the receiver before they go with the with 745 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Well, let me ask you about Atlanta. I mean, 746 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: they have no offensive line. Their quarterback is injury prone. 747 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, I know they have no receivers either, But 748 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: what are you doing draft in a receiver when you 749 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: can't protect your quarterback? That the Falcons make no sense 750 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: to be at this point. Well, you know, if the 751 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: Charles Cross is there, I'm sure they're gonna consider them. 752 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: But I don't think Charlote Cross is gonna last to 753 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: the eighth pick of the draft. I think those three 754 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: tackles will be off by the six or seventh selection. Uh, 755 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: the first six or seven selections. So obviously I would 756 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: agree with you if one of the tackles are there 757 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: at eight, I think that would be a consideration. I 758 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 1: don't see that happening, you know. Wow, alright, So where 759 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: where is the first quarterback going? According to your projections, 760 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be New Orleans or Pittsburgh. I also, 761 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 1: I think what could happen is as I've been talking 762 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: about on my show with Trey Windo, is the Minnesota 763 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: Vikings would like to trade down. The Minnesota Vikings would 764 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: like to trade down because I'm told they like Trent 765 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: McDuffie as much as they like Derek Stingley. So I 766 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: could see a team team moving up to number twelve, 767 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: whether it be the Steelers from Leak Willis, you know, 768 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: Saints if they want to secure a quarterback to get 769 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: up there and get the quarterback that they want. I 770 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: think both of those teams would take Malik Willis over 771 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett because both of those franchises are sort of 772 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: in a rebuild mode, or at least the Steelers are 773 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: in a rebuild mode at the quarterback spot after signing 774 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: Mitch Drobiskie in free agency, Tony, when I look at 775 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: the gambling odds, the total for quarterbacks in the first 776 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: round over under three and a half three and a half. 777 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: Can you sell a fourth, whether it's Sam how whether 778 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: it's Corral Desmond Ritter. Do you see there's any shot 779 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: of four quarterbacks going in the first round. Now, I 780 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: know it's everybody hates with the factor in trades, but 781 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: that end of the first round, it feels like there 782 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 1: could be a couple of some movement. Obviously the thirty 783 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: second pick has a ton of value. Your thoughts on 784 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks in the first round, I mean philosophically, no, 785 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: there should be at at most three. I got no 786 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: Leak Willis, Kenny Pickett, and then I have Matt Correll. 787 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: But as you said historically, you know, you could see 788 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: somebody who maybe likes Desmond Ritter making a move up 789 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: to get him. And you know, all the teams that 790 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: I've talked to you have a first round grade on 791 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter. I'm not very high on Ridder, but all 792 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: the teams I talked to have a first round grade. 793 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: So you know, if I was a betting man and 794 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm not, I may go with the over on that. 795 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 796 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: the nation.

Desnet Ritter so weird. 799 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: He's got about a fifty game sample side where he 800 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: was terrific, and then you look at the one game 801 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: where he stepped up in class against Alabama loaded with 802 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: pros and he kind of vomited all over himself. And 803 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 1: I know he doesn't have the weapons on the outside 804 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: to battle Alabama. But if you just looked at that 805 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: game and you were like, this guy is not a pro. 806 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,359 Speaker 1: This guys certainly not first round material, would you agree 807 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: with that sentiment. I don't like grading a player off 808 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: of a single game, although I would agree with you. 809 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 1: I agree, would agree with you. Cincinnati had a lot 810 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: of chances to stay in that game. I don't want 811 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: to say beat Alabama, but make it competitive, and he 812 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: couldn't get the ball on the end zone. I think 813 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: that game is indicative of a lot of what I've 814 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: seen with Desmond Ritter. And what I mean by that 815 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: is he's not a very accurate quarterback. And I'm not 816 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: talking about statistical accuracy. I'm talking about not being able 817 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: to place the ball where only his receiver can make 818 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: the reception. If you watch the tapes of Desmond Ritter 819 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: the past two years, receivers are always leaving their feet 820 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: or adjusting backwards and stride to catch the ball, which 821 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: leads to a loss of opportunity running after the catch. 822 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: He sometimes overthrows wide open receivers. He was throwing bounce 823 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: passes during his pro day workout, and people say, well, 824 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: his statistical accuracy, the heck with that. You know, he 825 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: had Alec Pierce, who's a six ft three receiver. He 826 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: had some really good tight ends there as well who 827 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: were able to win out for the contested throws or 828 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: get vertical, you know, to grab his his errand passes 829 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: That is my concern with Desmond Ritter. Sometimes that's a 830 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: difficult thing to figure out the next level to, you know, 831 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: to to really fix. We saw ej. Manuel. Yeah, he 832 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: crushed the interview process. Tony, don't forget about that. I 833 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: know you're being sarcastic, but the fact is, you know, 834 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to come on as a hater for 835 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter. He's got the physical skills, he's a winner. 836 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: He does a good job with his reads. You know, 837 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: he's a high character guy. You know, you want a 838 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: guy that's going to lead at the quarterback position. He 839 00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 1: talked about the Jets before, I mean how many times 840 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: and postgame interviews when the Jets loss was Zach Wilson 841 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: making comments like, oh, it is what it is rather 842 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: than leading and he got crushed for some of those comments. 843 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,720 Speaker 1: You don't want that. Uh, let's go to wide receivers. 844 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: First round. Six and a half is the number for 845 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 1: the gambling line. I I made a case I had 846 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,479 Speaker 1: eight receivers in my last month draft in the first round, 847 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: five going in the twenties. It's weird because there isn't 848 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: an ALTFA. There's no Jamaar Chase here. I like Wilson 849 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: a lot. I want the Jets to get him at ten. 850 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 1: Can you can you make a case for over six 851 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: and a half receivers in the first round. We'll give 852 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: you the obvious ones. Uh, Chase, I'm not Chase Jamison, Williams, Wilson, Olave, Drake, London, 853 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,919 Speaker 1: a couple others. Do you think we can get the seven? No? 854 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: I don't see it at all. You know, I think 855 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: Treylon Burke's who everybody loves, could fall out of the 856 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: first round. Wait, why is that? Well? Because number one, 857 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: he's a bigger, slower receiver who consistently one out for 858 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: the contestant row on Saturday and to go a good 859 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: did a good job of that. But you look at 860 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: historically or in recent trouts. I shouldn't even say historically 861 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: recent traps. Those big, you know, body possession receivers who 862 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: don't run good routes, who can't separate through their routes, 863 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: who can't separate through their speed, they go later in 864 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 1: the draft. Now, Traylon Barks has got a good amount 865 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: of upside. But Traylon Barks is gonna struggle on Sunday 866 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: because of the fact that he doesn't run good routes, 867 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: and the opponent is gonna be breaking on the ball 868 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: and the and deflecting the ball because he he's slowing 869 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 1: the brakes and he floats on agit. So Traylon Burks 870 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: catches the ball very well. Excuse me. Uh. It is 871 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: a guy that everybody seems to like. But as far 872 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 1: as being NFL ready as a receiver, you know he's 873 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do what he did on 874 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: Saturday so easily on Sunday. And a lot of teams 875 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: have Treylon Barks as a second round pick. A lot 876 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: of people like Christian, a lot of people like Christian 877 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: Watson in the first round. Not a single team I 878 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: spoke with have Christian Watson with the first round grade. 879 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: They all have him as a mid UH mid second 880 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 1: round grade. In fact, they have Sky More of Western 881 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: Michigan graded higher UH than Christian Christian Watson. So I 882 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: think it's probably if it's six and a half, I'm 883 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: not going with the over and that I'm going with 884 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,919 Speaker 1: the under. I just don't see seven receivers moving into 885 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: the first round. You mentioned Jamison Williams with the Jets 886 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: at number ten. No, No, I don't I don't want that. 887 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, never go ahead. I I do not want that. 888 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: I like Wilson. You see it, Yeah, I can't see it. 889 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: I can't see it because Joe Douglas needs to get 890 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: immediate impact out of that tent selection. He needs to 891 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: draft the guy that's gonna line up with the first 892 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: team on Week one of the NFL season. Jamison Williams 893 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 1: is not gonna be able to do that. If this 894 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: was Joe douglass first draft with the Jets, I could 895 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: see them taking Jamison Williams at ten. This is his 896 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: third draft with the Jets, and he's gotta win. He's 897 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: got to get some immedia production out of the tenth pick, 898 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 1: or maybe a player he trains for that tenth pick, 899 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: and that's not gonna be Jamison Williams. I like that. 900 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: I like that. I actually have sky More and Watson 901 00:45:58,239 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: both in the first I put sky More in a 902 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: g injury mock draft. He sent me like a nice Instagram, DM, 903 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: this kid's guy More now could go first round. I 904 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: add the Chiefs. What do you think about that? Yeah? 905 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs. If anything, the Chiefs should be 906 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 1: a team that trades up to get Jamison Williams. And 907 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: here's why the Chiefs have the luxury of time. The 908 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs don't need Jamison Williams to play in September. When 909 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams is healthy and ready to play, say the 910 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: end of November, you know, early December. That's when the 911 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs are making their late season run and they and 912 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: they have them likely for the playoffs and uh, sky More. 913 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting. I'll tell you somebody who I 914 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: love for the Chiefs to name that's not mentioned in 915 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: round two is Calvin Austin of Memphis. Five seven and 916 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: a half seventy pounds, runs four three two, run four 917 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: three two at to combine, ran faster than sky Moore runs, 918 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: incredible routes, has got an excellent route tree, and I 919 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: think that guy is a perfect replacement for Tyree Kill. 920 00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: Whether he becomes that type of player or not, I 921 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: don't know. But when you look at the mentions, you 922 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: look at the style, you look at the substance, and 923 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: you look at the Chiefs who historically draft receivers later on, 924 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: I think Calvin Austin of Memphis is is somebody to consider. 925 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: If I could go back to Burke's for a second, Tony, 926 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, I looked up his forty times four or 927 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 1: five five not blazing, um, but is forty time a 928 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: little overrated because some of these guys play fast, Like 929 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 1: I just looked up Deebo Samuel's. He was like a 930 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: four eight guy. But he plays fast, especially when he 931 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: gets into space. He's I mean, he's super quick. Is 932 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: Burke's that kind of guy or you think he's a 933 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: little clunky because some of the stuff that you said 934 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 1: about unable to get separation contested catches, I feel like 935 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,760 Speaker 1: that could apply to Drake London. To know, to an extent, 936 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Now, you gotta remember, Traylon 937 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: Burks is two pounds. When Traylon Burks showed up for 938 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: combine training, as I reported, was two thirty five pounds. 939 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: So he is clunky. He's not very quick. I mean 940 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: he's not Deebo Samuel quick where he's able to get 941 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: in and out of routes and the defensive back has 942 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: no chance of staying on his hip. That doesn't happen 943 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: with Traylon Burks, I think you will. I would agree 944 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: with you to an extent. With Drake London, he is 945 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: that sort of oversized possession type wide up, but he's 946 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: much more fluid, He's much more natural. He's a lot 947 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: smoother than Trey lan Burke's. You know, the thing with 948 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 1: Drake London is if you look at the game stats, 949 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: and I don't like looking at games, says, but if 950 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 1: you look at the game stats, Drake London consistently had 951 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 1: like sixty of the receptions and the receiving yards in 952 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: every game he played, which tells me the opponents knew 953 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 1: the ball was going to Drake London and it couldn't 954 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: stop him. I would agree with you. I don't you 955 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,720 Speaker 1: know everyone has him going to the New York Jets. 956 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he's that great of a fit for 957 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. I think Garrett Wilson is a 958 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: much better fit for the Jets because of his route running, 959 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: because of his speed, and because of the fact that 960 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: he is able to separate with those things where Drake 961 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: London is more Come back into the scene, find the 962 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: open spot in the defense. Box out your the defender 963 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: and get up and get the past and grab it 964 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 1: with your hands. Yeah boy, you get Elijah more Barrios Wilson. 965 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: The Jets have something there and hopefully the floor can 966 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 1: scheme it up. Um let's wrap up one more player, 967 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton or Notre Dame. I bet his draft prop 968 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 1: over ten and a half. I know a lot of 969 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,959 Speaker 1: people have him as a top five player, but Tony, 970 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: when you factor in the safety position, uh the quote 971 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: unquote slow forty time. You know. I feel like, remember 972 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: how Derwin James fell a little bit and people were stunned. 973 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: I feel like Kyle Hamilton. You get him at like fifteen, 974 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, fourteen to eighteen range, and that's a that's 975 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: a home run. But you can't take a safety in 976 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 1: the top five. I don't necessarily agree with that. I 977 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 1: don't think you can take a Kyle Hamilton's type safety 978 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: in the top five, in the top ten. And here's 979 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,879 Speaker 1: why Kyle Hamilton's has never been in the top ten 980 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: on my board. When I do my big board at 981 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: Pro Football Network, this thirteen players, He's never been in 982 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,359 Speaker 1: the top ten. I look at Kyle Hamiltons as six 983 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: fowy pounds and I see a linebacker at the next level. 984 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't see a safety. I see a guy. You know, 985 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: we talked about the Tray Lamb Barks and Drake London's 986 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,919 Speaker 1: how they struggled run routes and they can't separate. Kyle 987 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 1: Hamilton's is not gonna be able to stay with receivers, 988 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: the quicker receivers out of their routes in the NFL, 989 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: I mean trailer. Kyl Hamilton's is not a guy that 990 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to place over the slot receiver 991 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: because he's a liability. Now there was a place for 992 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: that type of player in the NFL. There's just not 993 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: a place for that type of player in the top 994 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: ten of the NFL draft. And I never was a 995 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,760 Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's believer as far as him being an early 996 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: early pick. There are some people, like you said, top five, 997 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: some places have him as the top player in the draft. 998 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 1: I thought that was absurd. And then he goes and 999 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: runs four or five not combine. Everyone's saying, well, he's 1000 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 1: running awkward, he's running crooked, he's on the right hand side, 1001 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 1: will be faster Priday. He barely broke four seven of 1002 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: his pro day. Again, six pounds, doesn't have great speed. 1003 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,400 Speaker 1: It's probably gonna get bigger before you know, before he 1004 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: loses weight. I see an outside linebacker. I see a 1005 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 1: Jibril Pepper's type of player in Kyle Hamilton's again, there 1006 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: is a place for that type of player in the NFL. 1007 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: There's just no place for that type of player in 1008 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: the top ten to twelve picks of the NFL draft. 1009 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 1: I feel like Peppers has been on like three teams already. 1010 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,399 Speaker 1: You know, it's just safety is a tough one right now, Tony, alright, 1011 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: great stuff on the draft. I do want to wrap up. 1012 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: You had an explosive report on Deebo Samuel and you 1013 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 1: know he allegedly wants twenty to twenty five mill a year. 1014 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: Let's get down to this first, Tony, does he want 1015 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: out of San Francisco or all of this and negotiating 1016 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: ploy It's tough to say. I mean, two weeks ago 1017 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,839 Speaker 1: in the UH during my UH the show with Trery 1018 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: Wingle that I did. I broke the story that he 1019 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 1: was looking when he scrubbed everything from his social media accounts. 1020 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: I said he was gonna be looking for twenty five 1021 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: million dollars a year, but the word was the San 1022 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers, we're gonna look to extend them 1023 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 1: what he probably would stay at in San Francisco. I 1024 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,279 Speaker 1: was told earlier that a lot of This is a 1025 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,799 Speaker 1: you know, employed by UH. The demanding a trader saying 1026 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 1: wants to trade is employed by Samuel UH to get 1027 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: to get the price up UH in San Francisco. UH, 1028 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:13,720 Speaker 1: he wants million. My report earlier was, UH, the Niners 1029 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 1: put an opening offer on the table. She's excuse me, 1030 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 1: opening offer on the table to him for just under 1031 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: nineteen million dollars. That was the opening offer. Nobody in 1032 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: the league really believes that the Deebo Samuel's gonna get 1033 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: million dollars year. They think twenty three to twenty four 1034 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: million dollars. You know, a big deal. You know, a 1035 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: million dollars, a million dollars less you want guys like 1036 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,720 Speaker 1: you and I would love, would love to have that. UM. 1037 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,240 Speaker 1: I think that San Francisco is going to do all 1038 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: they can to keep him. If the situation becomes untenable, Allah, 1039 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 1: the New York Jets and Jamal Adams, you may see 1040 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: a draft day trade. As of right now, the Niners 1041 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 1: want to keep him. Does Diebo Samuel want to play 1042 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Cisco, which was your initial question, if 1043 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: he gets the money, Yeah, he's gonna want to play 1044 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,920 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. I mean they were a team that 1045 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 1: was very close to the uh to the Super Bowl. 1046 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: Why would Deebo Samuel want to go from San Francisco 1047 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: to the New York Jets. I mean why that's Yeah, 1048 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,479 Speaker 1: that's a tough sell. So let me just quickly look 1049 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 1: at the highest paid receivers. So obviously he's not getting 1050 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,240 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill money. Who got thirty million year? Right? Um, 1051 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,799 Speaker 1: Dante Adams at twenty eight million year, we get that, 1052 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins twenty seven mill, but then there's Digs at 1053 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 1: twenty six. After that it drops down significantly. D J 1054 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 1: Moore at twenty Keenan Allen at twenty is Deebo Samuel 1055 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 1: definitely better than Keenan Allen. I mean, I know he 1056 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: could run the ball and uh he's great route runner 1057 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: and he's really good at everything. But twenty five million, 1058 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: he's not getting that from anyone. I don't think we 1059 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: would agree, right Tony, I don't think he is. Now, 1060 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 1: you gotta remember a lot of those contracts, except for Hopkins, 1061 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 1: that you, uh you rattled off their new contracts. I 1062 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: mean they were signed this off season, and that is 1063 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: the way things you're going, That's the way in the future. 1064 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 1: At the receiver position. But you know, he means a 1065 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: lot to that offense, not just as a receiver, running reverses, 1066 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: return specialists. You know, he does all kinds of things, 1067 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,760 Speaker 1: some of it which don't lead to longevity in the NFL. 1068 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,719 Speaker 1: Um So, is he as good a receiver as some 1069 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,480 Speaker 1: of the guys you mentioned, Probably not, but you've got 1070 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 1: a factor in the other things that he does and 1071 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 1: does so well for the Niners team as a whole, 1072 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 1: their offense and their special team. Yeah. Well, it's a 1073 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,320 Speaker 1: tough one. I listen, if the Jets apparently whipped on 1074 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, they apparently have been trying to get DK 1075 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 1: Metcalf depending on who you read, and you know, to 1076 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,360 Speaker 1: go over three and not get Deebo Samuel. Is that 1077 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: a sign that maybe receivers don't want to play with 1078 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and play in New York. Well, I mean, 1079 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: you know this has happened before the Jets. Remember Anthony 1080 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,399 Speaker 1: Barr a couple of years ago, you know, and great 1081 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: to a contract with the Jets at eleven o'clock at night. 1082 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: At o'clock in the morning, we found out he said, 1083 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: the heck with it, I'm staying at the cornerback. He 1084 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 1: remember years ago from Buffalo, so it's nothing where he 1085 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: had agreed to the Jets. His name escaped me. His 1086 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 1: kid plays for Minnesota, played for Minnesota gold Golfers. He's 1087 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: now a Tampa I apologize. Um, you know, I agreed 1088 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: to the Jets and then said noa, I'm going elsewhere. 1089 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 1: So I I mean, listen, if you if you're if 1090 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: you do you want to go to a team or 1091 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: a franchise that is constantly in the rebuild mode and 1092 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 1: has flashes here and there, or you want to go 1093 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 1: to a place where you know you're you're closer to 1094 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 1: being competitive. Yeah, and the New York right now, it's 1095 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 1: things are not good, all right. He is Tony Pauline. 1096 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: You follow him on social media. He is an NFL 1097 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,839 Speaker 1: Draft analyst at Pro Football Network. Tony, congratulations on all 1098 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,479 Speaker 1: the success. A lot of scoops for you lately. Love that. Okay, 1099 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: keep up the good work and enjoy the draft now. Man, 1100 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. It's been my pleasure.
