1
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecoff three Now podcast.

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: You're probably wondering. I got some people tweeting at me

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: and Instagram DM and me, where was your podcast on

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: Friday morning? Well, I realized there was so much going

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: on in the NFL Draft, and the first round ends,

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, for some of you guys on the East

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Coast like midnight, the next the draft starts the second

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: round for me on the West Coast at four, I'm like,

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, a lot's gonna go on, and the second

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: and third round you get a lot of famous players,

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: you get a lot of action, and I just didn't

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: want the thing to not I mean, it's gonna be

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: hard to be an evergreen podcast because obviously the fourth

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: through seventh rounds, but let's be honest, most of you

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: guys are not gonna know that many names in that group,

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: including myself, But the second and third round you're getting

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of famous guys going, and especially the second

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: round with a bunch of top and talent. So I

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: thought I'd wait for a little Saturday morning podcast. But

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: you know, the majority of this is gonna be spent

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: on the first round and we'll just kind of work

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: our way around, and I'm gonna apologize now. I'm probably

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna leave out some teams. I'm probably gonna miss some

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: moments we got some time during quarantine. I'm trying to

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: get to it all. I know a lot of people

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: listen that are a fan of a lot of different teams,

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: and we'll just try to cover it all over this

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: next month. Luckily, I mean not not like there's anything

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: else going on. D MS wide Open, probably won't get

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to any middlecoff mailbag d MS just too much else

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: going on. I might as well just cover some draft

32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: probably get into that next week. Uh. Also, for those

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: of you that have gone to the podcast and uh

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: left a review Apple review, I greatly appreciate that three

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: and Out podcast. Please leave a review if you like that.

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: I think the number one story of Friday Night pretty

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: clear what that was, right, It was Aaron Rodger just

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Jordan's love. And I think there's a lot of different

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: ways to look at this. The first thing though, that

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: I look at at with this deal is Aaron Rodgers

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: signed a massive, massive contract, massive number, and he signed

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: for a hundred million dollars guaranteed. It wasn't he wasn't

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: a free agent. It was a contract extension. So just

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: basically kicks in now fifty million dead cap this year,

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: thirty million dead cap next year, in two year, seventeen million.

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: But the year that it's seventeen million dead cap, his

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: salary cap, like his cap number is like almost forty

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: million dollars. So is anyone trading for a forty thirty

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: eight year old forty million dollar cap hit Aaron Rodgers

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: more than likely? No, But what's the point of thinking

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: big picture? Just live in the here and now. The

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: Green May Packers just went thirteen and three and they're

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: not it's weird because they were good, but they were

54
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: a flawed thirteen and three team. But like you're thirteen

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: and three or thirteen three and you have Aaron Rodgers

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: is a good pass rushers in a good running game,

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: and the Ande Adams, like, you got a chance, you

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: add a couple of pieces, you hit on a wide receiver,

59
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: you hit on a difference making you know linebacker or

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: you know defensive back, boom hell, you're right there in it.

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: But that's clearly not what the Green Bay management thought.

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: And my number one take is I've been in a

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: place where I've been hired by a certain individual. I

64
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: was there with the Eagles, hired by Andy, Andy Reid

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: and Howie Roseman, and when they were together, I felt

66
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: like it was you know, intense work environment, but felt

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: very supported. I felt like those guys had my back,

68
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: wanted to see me succeed. Then Chip Kelly came in.

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: It was not the same. Someone called me from the NFL,

70
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: but we're gonna I'm rolling right now. Then I went

71
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: to the I went got into the radio business, and

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: what happened. Dude hires me, gives me a show, supports me,

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: and I just got to let it rip. Ratings were

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: high and I was just letting fly. And then I

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: got a new boss in and simply put, the guy

76
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: was a woos and did not have my back. I

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: was relieved in my duties, be because when someone believes

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: in you, whether it's a parent, whether it's a boss,

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: you feel supported. When a guy is your superior and

80
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: you do not feel supported, it doesn't feel the same,

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: which is weird to say, because Rogers has a ton

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: of money coming his way. He has a ton of

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, uh, he has a massive contract. We're all

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: still humans, and that video or that picture on zoom

85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: or the ESPN broadcast of Matt Lafleur smiling ear to

86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: ear when he was on the phone with Jordan's Love, like,

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't care if Aaron Rodgers is a condescending elitist,

88
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: a hole, or just a guy's guy whatever. I mean,

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: we can pick him apart all we want. He's still

90
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: a human being. And he sees that and he goes, yeah,

91
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna like that guy more than me.

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm still way better than Jordan's Love. It's not

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: like Jordan's Love is gonna beat him out. But we've

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: all been in those situations where we know who the

95
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: guy actually wants to succeed. And it won't probably play

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: a huge role this year, but what about next year?

97
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: Because clearly internally, Gudakins like that. Gudakins and la Fleur

98
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: aren't getting any credit for Aaron Rodgers. He's a first

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer, m VPS super Bowl champion that

100
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: they have nothing to do with that, But they will

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: if Jordan's Love becomes a star. If Jordan's you see,

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: like part of the reason, listen, I knew Brett Veach

103
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: was big time. Everyone around him knew he was a

104
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: part of de Shawn. He was a part of Shady McCoy,

105
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: Like he played a role in that. Everyone that knew

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: anything in Kansas City knew. He was a big part

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 1: of Marcus Peters. He was a big part of bringing

108
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: these guys in. So, yeah, he got a ton of

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: credit for Patrick Mahomes, But anyone worth their salt that

110
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: had been around him, including the guy that mattered the most,

111
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, knew how good Brett each was. Now he's

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of credit from Mahomes, and deservedly so.

113
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: But that was He's gonna get the most credit for

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: that because that was legitimately his guy. Like he was

115
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the decision decision making picker behind that selection. That was his, Like,

116
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: that was his guy. He beat the drum, he convinced

117
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: the coach and Goudakins like that was Tet Thompson. That's

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: not him. Aaron had nothing to do. But if Jordan

119
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Loves succeeds, that's him. Like Howie Roseman, Carson Wentz when

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: he plays well, he gets credit for that. Pete Carroll,

121
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: John Snyder, Russell Wilson, they get credit for that. These

122
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: guys don't get any credit for that. Here's another thing

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: someone in the NFL told me about Aaron Rodgers. He said,

124
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: look at the offense they run. You don't need the

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: best quarterback ever. They made Kirk Cousins look solid. Hell,

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: Jared goff led McVeigh to the Super Bowl, Kyle Shanahan

127
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: made Matt Ryan and m v P. Does anyone I

128
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: like Mattie Ice? Does any one of us think when

129
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: we close our eyes, Matt Ryan's an m v P

130
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: type player? Of course not, but with that offense, with

131
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: that scheme, you can look like that. Jimmy Garoppolo, who

132
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: I like, at the end of the day, his best,

133
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: He's probably a B B plus. And Kyle Shanahan Boom

134
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl his first year as a full time starter,

135
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: and Jimmy was Jimmy kind of gets shied on now,

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: but he was really good towards the end of the season.

137
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: Had a big game against the Saints, had a big

138
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: game against the Rams, had a big game against Seattle,

139
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: win win win, Boom, number one seed. So I these

140
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: guys and Matt Laflour, I'm not the biggest fan of

141
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: but he's got to be thinking, Well, Rodgers doesn't even

142
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: like me, he does, he won't listen to this scheme

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: that works literally for every quarterback. He's kind of a

144
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: pain in the ass. I might as well draft my

145
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: own guy because I don't even need Aaron Rodgers to

146
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: have success in this offense. Hell, Aaron Rodgers last year

147
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: wasn't even Aaron Rodgers and they went thirteen and three. Now,

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: the problem with this pick that I have is I

149
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: get it in theory, and I think as a general

150
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: manager you always have to think big picture. Uh, we'll

151
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: get I mean, Howie Roseman drafted Jalen Hurts today and

152
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: we can talk about that a little later. Having quarterbacks

153
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: are by far the most important asset because you can

154
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: nitpick Jalen Hurts all you want. If in two years,

155
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is viewed in the NFL is a legitimate

156
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, they'll be able to flip him. Same with

157
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. Let's say Rodgers starts kicking ass again and

158
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: winning an m v P in two years. You know

159
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: what you can do with Jordan's Love if he looks

160
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: good in preseason games and everyone in the NFL likes him,

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: flipping for a one so they do have value. But ultimately,

162
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: unlike the Jalen hurts pick. These guys drafted Jordan's Love

163
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback in a couple of years. You

164
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: don't trade up in the first round to do that,

165
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: But you can't get rid of Rogers in the you know,

166
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: the near future. So you're just kind of somewhat in

167
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: this no man's land of having Jordan's Love. Yet next year,

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna want you to make the playoffs because you

169
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: just were thirteen and three, number two seed, so like,

170
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: going eight wins won't be cool, and it's not like

171
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: you can get rid of Rodgers after the season. So

172
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: you were in position the forts. There were a couple

173
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: of spots before you that who were pretty dramatically better

174
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: than you, but again it was just you two at

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the end of the year fighting for the NFC championship.

176
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Jumped you and went to pick twenty five to get

177
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: themselves wide receiver. Help. Why because they need a wide

178
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: receiver and they got Brandon Aiyuk? Why because he fits

179
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: that offense perfectly? Well, why wouldn't you guys do the same, Like,

180
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, Jordan's Love type quarterbacks now are coming

181
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: out every year. You get Jordan's Love next year, but

182
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't you kind of have been aggressive to go get

183
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: a Jordan Love this year, or excuse me, Brandon Aiyuk, Like,

184
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: if I'm Aaron Rodgers, his one legitimate argument would be, well,

185
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: we were trying to beat the Niners. They jumped us

186
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: for a wide receiver and their offense was already better

187
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: than our offense. How does that make any sense? Gouda Kins.

188
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: Goudakins would be like, I don't know what he say, Like, well,

189
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: we like Jordan Love, and I I think the elephant

190
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: in the room on this story, he's just gonna be

191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: something that's not gonna go away. Now, don't think I'm naive,

192
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: Like the gap between Aaron Rodgers and Jordan's love is

193
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: the size of Texas. So Jordan's love on his best

194
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: day is not better than Aaron Rodgers on his worst day.

195
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,359
Speaker 1: On one leg right now, it's not even a competition.

196
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: But in a couple of years, as Matt Lafleur gives

197
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: him everything he has, who knows, because now Gudakins and

198
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur are invested in this guy succeeding. I've never

199
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: had a child, but I would imagine many people listening

200
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: to have a child and most people. I think our

201
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: demo is a little younger. So I would imagine if

202
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: you're you know, forty and under, your child is single digits,

203
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: well you're invested in that child success. Why, because you

204
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: get credit when your child succeeds. No different than a

205
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: general manager gets credit when he picks good players or

206
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: a coach when he coaches up a good player. Right,

207
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: that's part of the deal. And back to what I

208
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: said there there, they will never ever get an ounce

209
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: of credit for Rogers, unlike Belichick, like him and Brady

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: were tied at the hip, so he he realized I

211
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: already got on the Brady credit. That's why he wanted

212
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: to get Jimy Garoppolo get more credit, like you know,

213
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh got credit for Montana and Steve Young and

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: these guys just want to get credit for their first

215
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: quarterback because that kind of separates you in your industry.

216
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: And you can say, well, John, why why does that

217
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: even matter? Just try to win with Rogers. I think

218
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: maybe last year they realize I don't know if we

219
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: can win huge with r and Rodgers anymore. Now. I

220
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: still think he's pretty good, He's no longer the best

221
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in the country or the country the National Football League,

222
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: which is the country beside London, like Gudakin said last night,

223
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: but he's still damn good. He's still, you know, top

224
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: five guy. And if you got a top five quarterback,

225
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: if your tea is good enough, you can win a

226
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But their wide receivers aren't good enough. They

227
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: have one good wide receiver, Davante Adams. The other guys

228
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: are a bunch of randos, and they had the opportunity

229
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: on Thursday night to trade up and get one of

230
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: the top guys. Whether it was justin Jefferson, whether it's

231
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Aiyuk, they were right there. They could have got

232
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: aggressive it to do it, and they didn't do it.

233
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: Just that simple. They chose a quarterbacks who's not gonna

234
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: play for three years. And now they're in a position

235
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: where Rodgers in a tight spot because one of the

236
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: things he always got sympathy for that rot that Brett

237
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: forve was kind of an asshole to him. Well, now

238
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: what's Roger's gonna do? Are you gonna do the same

239
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: shows shows you? Like Timberlake said, what goes around comes around, Well,

240
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: this exact same thing happened to Rogers, and what if

241
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers knows this, you know, five or six and oh seven,

242
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: while he was backing up for if Management, was telling

243
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: his agent, like, tell Aaron, be ready, he's gonna be

244
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: the guy soon. Like sometimes when you're involved in a

245
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: shady deal and then ten years later you're on the

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: other side of the shady deal, you start putting yourself

247
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: in the shoes of the other person and you go, well,

248
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: I know what it was like to be on the

249
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: other side. I didn't remember McCarthy and Ted Thompson texting

250
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: my agent and telling me it's gonna be your time soon.

251
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of our Well, what if in

252
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: a year or two he starts having these weird delusions

253
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: or maybe they're true. Who knows that those guys are

254
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: telling Jordan Love that. Uh, you know, it's hard to

255
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: think that that's not a possibility. So it's a it's

256
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: a very complicated, uh story. Who knows where it's gonna go,

257
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: But bottom line, it's a story, and it's a major story.

258
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, probably Steph Curry, Lebron, James Brady, I mean,

259
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: he's way more famous still than Mahomes. Maybe Russell Wilson. Uh,

260
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: there's not a baseball player even close to any of

261
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: these guys. So it'd be some NBA players and some

262
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: NFL quarterbacks. And he's one of the top six or

263
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: seven most famous domestic athletes. And now he's in the

264
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: situation once upon a time for the guy that he

265
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, booted out, who was in my lifetime, I'd

266
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: say I was born in eighty four, George and Tiger,

267
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, Lebron, some of the big guys. I'd say

268
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: far Of as a borderline top ten most famous athlete

269
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: of my lifetime. And Rodgers, And it was the right

270
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: thing to do. Now, big picture of the likelihood that

271
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: love is ever half as good as Rogers. Hell, you

272
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: could say probably slim the nune. Right, if he's ever

273
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of Rodgers, you've got a legitimate starting quarterback.

274
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: And that's what made far and the Rogers thing so crazy, right,

275
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: is because you know, when it turns out, well, far

276
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Of was more fun and farv was elite for you know,

277
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: three years with hombreun If you look at the overall

278
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: body of the work, Rogers was a better player and

279
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: Loves is not going to be a better player than Rogers,

280
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: because if Love is a better player than Rodgers. He's

281
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. And it's just

282
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: this is not gonna happen. And I like Jordan's love,

283
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: but one thing for Goodikins and and La Floor and

284
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: you saw it how happy they were when they drafted him.

285
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: They're sure as hell gonna do everything possible to make

286
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: him the best quarterback and have him six Eden Green

287
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: Bay one day. Okay, let's just fire around the league.

288
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: I guess I don't really have a formula for this

289
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: bad boy. I mean, there's so much going on. As

290
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm recording this Helda. The third round is not even over.

291
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: We're go and pick one oh six. Goodell's running out

292
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: of gas. I'm running out of gas like nine o'clock

293
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: on Friday. But let's fire fire around. Here are just

294
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: some winners, some teams that I thought really jumped out.

295
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: One is Listen, this is an easy one. But Cancie

296
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year. They're returning basically

297
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of their starters they had Clyde. I

298
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: can never say his last two names right if it's

299
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: not in front of me. All I know is this,

300
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: whenever I watched l s U, Joe Burrow, Jamaar Chase,

301
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, and Clyde kicked everyone's ass. Well, Joe Burrow

302
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: went one, Jefferson went twenty whatever to Minnesota, Jamaar Chase

303
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: the top ten pick next year, and Clyde is a

304
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: first rounder and Clyde is a bowler. You put that

305
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: guy with coach read it's on. You got Clyde, Mahomes, Kelsey, Tyreek, Hardeman, Uh,

306
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: Sammy the million other receivers. They're rolling out that offense,

307
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: holy but jeevous. They're gonna be good. And then Willie

308
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: G Jr. The linebacker they draft from Missisippi State Bahler.

309
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: He was suspended this year because he got caught having

310
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: academic advisors take their tests. And I think ten guys

311
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: on the team got caught. Like I got news for you.

312
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: In the NFL, no one cares about academics. No one cares.

313
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: I also got news for you. In the real world.

314
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: No one ever asked you what your g p A is,

315
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: How much money are you making me? What kind of

316
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: deals can you bring? What kind of can you benefit this? Uh?

317
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: This business Litsen're a doctor. The media cares a lot

318
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: about academics as they try hard in the in the

319
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: business real world, no one ever asked you what your

320
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: g p A is unless you want to go get

321
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: a graduate degree. And in the NFL the only graduate

322
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: degree is schemes. So if you can learn schemes, Willie

323
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: Gay can run and hit. That's bam bam. Really good picks.

324
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: The Chargers left the first round with just Ston Herbert,

325
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: who as a quarterback prospect, you can't ask for that

326
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: more much much more. Right, It's like people nit pick

327
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: up like he doesn't look over, doesn't go from one

328
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: to two to three. Well, yeah, that's what you coach

329
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: guys up to do in in the pros. He needs

330
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: to improve on some stuff in the pros. But when

331
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: you're six five and you can throw it that far

332
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: and you are accurate, I can't ask for much more

333
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: In the top six quarterback pick. Most guys for the

334
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: majority of my lifetime, we're not like super pro ready.

335
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: So this guy was a big time prospect. And then

336
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: to get Kenneth Murray late in the first round. Kenneth

337
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Murray is a baller. To go with Derwin, James Bosa,

338
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: and Ingram Man, that team is really, really talented. The

339
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: forty Niners got rid of the Forrest Bucker. A lot

340
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: of times offensive coaches when they have high picks love

341
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: to get offensive players. It's hard to blame him. Do

342
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: you know what Kyle Shanahan, for a forty one, forty

343
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: two year old coach, realizes, And he was quoted last night,

344
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: I can scheme offense defense is about players, and if

345
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: you don't have more talent than your opponent on defense,

346
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: you're usually gonna lose. When you look at the history

347
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: of top scoring defenses or elite defenses in the NFL

348
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: in my lifetime from the mid eighties up until now,

349
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: they usually are the most talented. Bears, the two thousand

350
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: Ravens right, the two thousand one Buccaneers, I wasn't even alive,

351
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: but the Steel Curtain they usually have countless Hall of

352
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: famers Pete Carroll's defense. For about four years there was

353
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: the number one scoring defense in the league, stacked Cam Chancellor,

354
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Cliff April, Michael Bennett, Ballers,

355
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the hard Bough teams loaded the defense about talent, so

356
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: is offense at quarterback, but a lot of the other

357
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: positions you can scheme open and Kyle gets that, and

358
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: I give him credit because he easily couldn't take a

359
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: wider either at their team. He could have taken Judy,

360
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: he could have taken cde Lamb. He said, you know what,

361
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm taking Javon kin Law, a guy who's six ft

362
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: five pounds and who can replace Buckner and is cheaper.

363
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: Now Willie, I don't know. It's a hard part about

364
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: the draft. He divorced. Bucker's really good player. But I can't.

365
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: I can't hate on the pick and then to come

366
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: back and isolate a guy that fits perfectly in your offense,

367
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: who's kind of like a more accomplished version in college

368
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Adebo Samuel at least the one year Brandon Aiyuk, Like,

369
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: that's a really good draft. You've got to impact players

370
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: for a team that you know, you say you're not

371
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: a player away. Well, the Nighters literally were two three

372
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: minutes away from winning the Super Bowl. So that's a

373
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: pretty good first round when you had two picks. I

374
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: didn't expect them to come out with kin Law and

375
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: I youth. That's that's good. I give Minnesota credit. Justine

376
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: Jefferson fits their scheme perfectly put Justin Jefferson with Adam

377
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: Feeling and Dalvin Cook and cousins. They draft an offensive

378
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: lineman a little later, they get the corner from TCU

379
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round. Like their a

380
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: well run operation. I think the question has been this

381
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: last five or six years, is the quarterback play good enough?

382
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Because over the last really since like fourteen fifteen, sixteen,

383
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, they've had talents. They've had star players in

384
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: every position. I expect George Justin Jefferson to come in

385
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: and compete and excel and produce Mike his cousins good enough.

386
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: When you get to the playoffs or competing to get

387
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, will he wilt because he's not getting

388
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: any better? To me, it's just can you function with him?

389
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: And it's it's it's gonna be difficult. But their draft

390
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: was good. The Ravens getting Patrick Queen, I mean that's

391
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: an immediate impact player. I mean, god, he's stud I

392
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: think they also did did the Ravens. I'm pretty sure

393
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: in my head I got him to Yeah, they took

394
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins. How the hell did the Ravens get

395
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins kid from while state baller. I saw

396
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: the Honey Badger tweet like, what are they trying to

397
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: rush for? Like ten thousand yards? I mean that's Lamar Jackson,

398
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: j K H Mark ingram A Todd, Jeez Louise and

399
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and and Marquise Hollywood Brown. They got players, man,

400
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: that they really do. That's that was a good draft,

401
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good

402
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: when you're drafting at seventeen, A lot of stuffs out

403
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: of your control. And I would never have thought Ceede

404
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Lamb would have been there when they drafted. I also

405
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: never would have thought i'd c Jerry Jones drafting from

406
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: his two fifty million dollar yacht. But we're here and

407
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: he did. So you know, you put Ceedee Lamb, you

408
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: put him with a Mari Cooper, you put him with Gallup,

409
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: you put them with Zeke like I'm sorry. You know,

410
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I got no excuses for you, And I

411
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: actually don't blame. Do you know what I do? If

412
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: I was a Cowboys, I don't know if I'd extend

413
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: him right now, play this year out in your franchise

414
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: tag and we'll pay you next year. But let's let's

415
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: see if you can produce with all these cats. Because

416
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: we are loaded on offense, her defense has some issues.

417
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: What's out score you? That's gonna be the goal. I'll score.

418
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll score everybody. Uh, the Eagles got pretty bold, you know.

419
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: I I talked to some people in the league. I

420
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: know that Twitter freaked out about Reager, the kid from TCU.

421
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of people in the NFL that

422
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: liked him. You know, I thought he was a top

423
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: thirty five player. I think the question is why they

424
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: take him over justin Jefferson. The one thing the Eagles

425
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: really lacked his speed, and you know, game changing speed.

426
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 1: They have a quarterback that has a game changing arm,

427
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: so you gotta put him with a guy that can

428
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: stretch the field. And that's the goal. And the Jalen

429
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Hurts thing, Listen, I don't love him as a quarterback.

430
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's accurate enough. But here's what I

431
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: do know about Jalen Hurts. He's an NFL running back

432
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: if he wants to be. And the Taysom Hill and

433
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: I do think they kind of want to Taysom Hill.

434
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill couldn't hold Jalen hurts Jock coming out of college.

435
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: Definitely not as a runner. I mean, Jalen Hurts the

436
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: NFL starting running back right now. The instincts he ran

437
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: for two thousand yards and twenty three touchdowns at Alabama

438
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: in the SEC. His status at Oklahoma probably a little inflated.

439
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: The conference sucks, you know, as a runner, but he

440
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: is a dynamic, instinct div runner, and he's he can

441
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball. I just don't think he's an NFL

442
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: caliber thrower, but he's good enough to have some trick

443
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: plays for I think he can play a major part

444
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: of the offense. Uh. I think the Jacks had a

445
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: pretty good day. I talked to a couple of scouts

446
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: that had C. J. Henderson above a Kuda. Uh. Well,

447
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean it's I think it was pretty close.

448
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: But you get him to go with Chase on the

449
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: outside linebacker pass rusher for l s U to now

450
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: go with Josh Allen Like they got two legit pass rushers.

451
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: They also have Yannick who doesn't feel like he's gonna

452
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: get traded, doesn't really have anywhere to go, but they

453
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: got talent. You know. The weird part about the Jacksonville

454
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: Jaguars since David Calls Caldwell has been there since uh

455
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen, I think was the first year.

456
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: He's averaged five wins a season over that like eight years,

457
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: and that's inflated by a ten win season the year

458
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: they went to the f C Championship Game and lost

459
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. But unlike a lot of teams that

460
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: just lose like and just feel like, God, your team

461
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: just sucks, they actually have a lot of talented players.

462
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: That's one of the most head scratching parts about the

463
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: Jaguars is they do have a lot of talent. Uh

464
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: a couple of head scratching moves. I wouldn't say losers

465
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: of the draft, but just I mean the Saints took

466
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. I was actually a little shocked the

467
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Saints didn't take uh Jordan's Love at pick twenty four.

468
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, Drew Brees already signed to go with NBC.

469
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: They don't have a backup quarterback. Not quite sure what

470
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: they're doing. Maybe they're kind of a sleeper to sign

471
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, maybe even Cam Newton, who knows. Only time

472
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: will tell. Now, you could argue the Saints at an

473
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: interior offensive Lineman and Ruise in the first round. They're

474
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: still gonna be really good. I mean, they're still one

475
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: of the top to me three or four Super Bowl

476
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: contenders this year. But I thought they had an opportunity

477
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: to draft Jordan Love again. I like Jordan's Love. I

478
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: think there's a lot to work with. You have Drew

479
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: Brees right now, So unless you want to sign Jamis

480
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: to have him be around Drew for this next year

481
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: before he retires, I don't really get that. Maybe maybe

482
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm missing Maybe they end up with Jamis Winston here

483
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: in a week. Maybe maybe that's what happens. One pick

484
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: I hated, and I really felt it this year for

485
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: the first time ever, is that the media. The media

486
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: gets these hunches. Now. A lot of people in the

487
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: media like rap sheet or Schefter or Schraeger or Lewis

488
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: Riddick or Daniel Jeremiah like they are talking to a

489
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: lot of people in the NFL. But I gotta I

490
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: read a lot of mock drafts in which I know

491
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: for a fact those people don't have three NFL executives

492
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: numbers in their phone. If you're not constantly asking the

493
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: NFL what they think of the players or like for me,

494
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily have to as much because I know

495
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: how a lot of these guys think, and I know

496
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: what they look for in players, So it kind of

497
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: helps me when I evaluate a player if I want

498
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: to spend some time and watch a player. But most

499
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: of the media that went to who knows, Syracuse or Missouri,

500
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: they got no freaking clue what they look for. And

501
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: then this media hype train starts and they start going,

502
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna go on the top five, this guy

503
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: is gonna go on the top three, And they got

504
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: no freaking clue with the general managers in the NFL think,

505
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: so they go, Isaiah Simmons, this guy is gonna change

506
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: the game. Literally, everyone I talked to in the NFL

507
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: and most of my friends, as you all know if

508
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: you've been listening to podcasts, are on playoff teams, like

509
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: some of them have Super Bowl rings and their associated

510
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: with these teams. They go, you know, I don't quite

511
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: see and I think he's a little more complicated of

512
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: a player in the media thinks, and I go, everyone's

513
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: mocking him really high. And in fairness, I did one

514
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: mock draft like two months ago, and I put them

515
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: number four to the Giants. I felt stupid like a

516
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: month later once I realized, no way, he's going number

517
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: four overall. Well, the Arizona Cardinals took him at eight.

518
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: And here's my issue. Steve come who had some success

519
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: when Bruce arians was his coach. They drafted a ton

520
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: of difference making players and versatile players, guys like Honey Badger,

521
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: uh Dion Buchanan, the kid from Washington State who was

522
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: really good for them for a while. Uh Tony Jefferson, Like,

523
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 1: you don't you know A big reason why they had

524
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: this guy I don't know. His name was Todd Bowles.

525
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: He was a dynamic defensive coordinator and now we see

526
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: him in Tampa still a dynamic defensive coordinator. Once he

527
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: got a head coaching job. The air's when the Cardinals

528
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: defense wasn't the same. So you take Isaiah Simmons, who

529
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: there is a lot to work with. But your head

530
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: coach is Cliff Kingsbury, who, while he looks good looking dude,

531
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: who's got a badass pad. I mean, he's probably got

532
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: the schoolest house in coaching NFL history. There's probably like

533
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: ten players in the league with cooler houses. I mean,

534
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: that's a sweet house and God, he's a good looking dude.

535
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: Like you text that picture to a girl you're dating

536
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: or your mom. They're just like, damn, who's that but

537
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: canny coach? I don't know. He never won in college

538
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: and everyone's acting like he's some genius. He's drafted drafted

539
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: eight this year. I don't see why they'd be that

540
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: much more dynamic next year. Well, here's the thing. He

541
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: knows nothing about defense. Clearly he's the defenses have been

542
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: historically terrible. His defensive coordinator, Vance Joseph, has had one

543
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: of the worst three year stretches in recent memory. So

544
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: how is Vance Joseph who coached the Denver Broncos for

545
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: two years and their defense got dramatically worse every year,

546
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: And now he's coaching the Arizona Cardinals whose defense was

547
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: a trocis last year? Gonna know how to use this guy?

548
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. And there's gonna be so

549
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: much pressure on this guy because the hype was so big.

550
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: He's like Derwin James. What happened to Derwin James? Derwin

551
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: James went to the Chargers. Well, who was the Chargers

552
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: defensive cordina there? I don't know Gus Bradley. Well, what

553
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: who did Gus Bradley work with? I don't know, Cam Chancellor,

554
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Pete Carroll, dB whisperers. What is Derwin James

555
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: a badass underguess Bradley. I just don't see it with

556
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph. I don't see it with the Cardinals. I

557
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be terrible. I think the hype on

558
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals people like, yeah, they might score some point

559
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: in some games, but they won't be able to stop anybody,

560
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: and their head coach doesn't know how to win. I

561
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: don't really have any major overall takes on the offensive tackles, uh,

562
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: just because listen every time you tack up taking offensive tackle.

563
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: And let me pull up the draft ticker. Here, we

564
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: had the Giants taking Andrew Thomas, We had the Cleveland

565
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: Browns taking Wills, we had the Jets taken Beckton, and

566
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: we had the Buccaneers taken worse. And by eighteen we

567
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: had the Dolphins taking Austin Jackson. So in the top

568
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: eighteen picks, we had five offensive tackles going. Anytime you

569
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: take an offensive tackle in the first round or definitely

570
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: in the top twenty, you feel like it's a plug

571
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: in play starter, it's an easy transition. Well, history will

572
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: show us it's not that easy. It's actually pretty difficult

573
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: because pass protection the NFL is very hard. Uh. The

574
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: majority of teams now that you play have dynamic pass rushers. Right,

575
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: let's just go to a team. Uh, the Browns they

576
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: got Jerik Wills. We'll think about the Steelers they got

577
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: what who's a badass and du pre badass. The Ravens,

578
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jude On, pretty good player. The Bengals

579
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: they don't actually have anybody good, but let's see Andrew Thomas.

580
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: The Giants. Well, the Eagles got a couple of pass rushers, right,

581
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: got a bunch of defensive lineman. You got the Washington Redskins.

582
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. They just drafted a guy named Chase Young,

583
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: number two overall last time I checked. He's decent. Uh.

584
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: The Cowboys they gave DeMarcus Lawrence. I think, like what

585
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: s million dollars guaranteed? So yeah, they signed Alden Smith. Yeah,

586
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: big unknown, but he has a freak show. Like every

587
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: team is good pass wrestlers. So you get these offensive

588
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: lineman and it's it sounds a lot easier in theory

589
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: and then you're like, God, we gotta stretch for her.

590
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: We're playing Nick bos So this week, We're playing Joey

591
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Bosa the next week. And then we got Khalil Mack.

592
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: It never ends. And the moment they sense a weakness,

593
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: they're like the lions on the prairie when they when

594
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: they see that gazelle that's kind of limping, it's on

595
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: and the moment, it's a lot like a young offensive

596
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: tackle trying to get their bearings, trying to be tough,

597
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: trying to be physical, trying to be cerebral. You've got

598
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: a lot flying at you. And then you got these

599
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: defensive lineman that are making a hundred million dollars that

600
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: are just natural born ask kickers that are two d

601
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: two hundred sixty pounds that that bend like a wide receiver,

602
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: that explode up the field like a running back, that

603
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: are powerful like a power lifter. That it's hard to

604
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: deal with. It is a more difficult position than I think.

605
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: And I'm guilty too that we just kind of talk

606
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: about it. It's hard. So these tackles that are all

607
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: just oh, we got the right guy, you know. I'd

608
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: say two out of five of them, We're gonna just

609
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: not be good. It happens every time, saying with the

610
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers, were just like, oh yeah, I think you know.

611
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: There was a stretch today where it's like ten wide

612
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: receivers had gone on the top, like fifty picks. I mean,

613
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: let's call a spade a spade. Four of the ten

614
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: of them are just gonna be scrubs, other two will

615
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: just be okay, two will be solid, and two will

616
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: be Pro Bowlers. We just know that's usually the way

617
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: it plays out. Somehow, Chris Ballard did not have a

618
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: pick on Thursday and then starts I don't know how

619
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: he did it, I really don't. I'm miffed, but he

620
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: starts the second round. He takes probably my I don't know,

621
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: fifth or six favorite wide receiver in this class, Michael

622
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. Who will fit in perfectly with Philip Rivers,

623
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: and then a couple of picks later against Jonathan Taylor.

624
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean he he ended up his first three picks

625
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: of this draft were the Forest Buckner, a plug and

626
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: play borderline pro bowler, UH Jonathan Taylor, and Michael Pittman.

627
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: That's two three really really impactful players. He's a he's

628
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: a really really good GM. The Bears draft of this

629
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: tight end that's a big physical guy should help. I mean,

630
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: They're tight end play was so terrible. Then they draft

631
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: this corner from UH from Utah, Jalen Johnson, a big, tall,

632
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: kind of like a Richard Sherman type physical guy. You know.

633
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: Utah produces those just powerful press corners, so that should

634
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: work perfectly. God, I I can't get enough of every

635
00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: time they show Belichick Belichick did his his draft. I

636
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: mean everyone John Snyder's got twenty five screens. Belichick has

637
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: one Mac, one MacBook, and one other work computer and

638
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: his dog Nike that he feeds treats to. I mean,

639
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: does anyone give less ships? My favorite was you get

640
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: some of these gms that have all these screens and

641
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: then they show Belichick with two screens, or they show

642
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: coach read with some your phones and the screen like,

643
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: the draft is not that complicated. It really isn't. And

644
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: I thought, I gotta give the league some credit. I

645
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: gotta give the coaches some credit. I thought this broadcast

646
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: was a very uplifting experience. The how happy the the

647
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: kids were. You know, I'm talking about the kids. The

648
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: gms and the coaches kids. The coaches were all having

649
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: a fun time. How emotional the players were with only

650
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: their immediate family. I thought it was a pretty pure

651
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm pretty cynical individual sometimes, but I

652
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: thought it was a very pure couple. You know, to

653
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: day broadcast and we we don't get that very often,

654
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: and in this time of quarantine, and we're all stuck

655
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: at home and the economy is in the tank, and

656
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: we got thirty million unemployed. I know, Twitter makes it

657
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: seem like everyone loves quarantining. Everyone I know hates it. Uh.

658
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: People are losing their ass, holding on for dear life. Economically,

659
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: it's a weird time, even though we're trying. I'm trying

660
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: to be positive here, and sometimes you're like, I got

661
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: nothing to watch it. I don't have anything to read.

662
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: I just I just want to watch a baseball game

663
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: or a basketball game. It just makes us value that

664
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: now this broadcast, and I was something that I think

665
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: I got a little too caught up with the Corona bros.

666
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: I was like, God, the NFL should push this back.

667
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm so glad they didn't. And I'm so glad the

668
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: NFL doesn't play Kate to Twitter in play Kate, because

669
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: in Twitter, you'll never you'll never make them happy. You

670
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: never will. When baseball comes back, UFC's coming back, Golf's

671
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: coming back. They're gonna get crushed on Twitter. But you

672
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: know what they'll do. They're gonna do huge ratings. You

673
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: know why because we're all gonna watch and be so

674
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: happy that it's on, because we'll be miserable stuck at home,

675
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: especially as it gets eight ninety degrees outside. So I

676
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: I'll take the l on that because I thought when

677
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: it originally got scheduled, I was like, the probably push

678
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: it back that stupid. I was dumb that they should

679
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: not have. They should have put this draft on. I'm

680
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: glad they did. I'm glad. You know, all the GMS

681
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: and coaches, the younger ones or the ones like under

682
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: fifty with kids you know that are five six, seven, eight.

683
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: What a cool moment. I think we all. You know,

684
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, you're a big football fan.

685
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: If obviously me. I mean I've given my life to

686
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: the sport and just sports in general. I can't imagine

687
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: being seven years old and having my dad running an

688
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: NFL draft and getting to sit on the desk with him,

689
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: how happy I'd be and see him picking players, Like

690
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: what what a what a cool moment for those guys. Now,

691
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's gonna be weird. The older they get,

692
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna realize, like God, that's that's peak life. It

693
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: doesn't get much better. And just also how pure it

694
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: is to see guys get drafted, crying with their families,

695
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: having their mom, dad and most of these because I

696
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: guess the rules they couldn't have ten plus people, but

697
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: it's just like their mom, dad, their grandparents, maybe their girlfriend,

698
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 1: their brother or sister. It's just it's just a pure moment.

699
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: I think sometimes in life, you know, we talked about

700
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: all the shitty things and the doom and gloomers, where

701
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: it's like God, I mean, we should be happy. And

702
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 1: uh I I thought this NFL draft was overall pretty happy.

703
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: That's you know. There would be a lot more stuff

704
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: and I'll try to reconvene some thoughts for Monday, but

705
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to get something out, uh just on the

706
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: first three days of the draft. Some teams I left out,

707
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: and we'll try to get to it all over the

708
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. But uh, wow, what up? I

709
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I don't really know what else say.

710
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm kind of losing my voice tired.

711
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: I feel like Roger Goodell who just fell on the

712
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: chair and just he gave it all for the draft.

713
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I feel. It's late at night

714
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: on a Friday night and just just just bes of

715
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: a little football. Oh yeah, to uh. I don't want

716
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: to leave that out. I'm glad I see Jesse Palmer

717
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: talking about it. That was I'll give the Dolphins credit.

718
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: They kind of smoke screened everyone though. I didn't think

719
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: they were gonna take to Uh. He kind of felt

720
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: like he was gonna fall. Clearly, they just fooled everyone.

721
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: They didn't want anyone to jump him. They didn't have

722
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: to use any of their picks to move forward. They

723
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: got him at five. They kept their other three picks

724
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: and all their picks in the second round. Pretty good move. Uh.

725
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: They had Austin Jackson. The tackle from me scs a

726
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a question mark, but if two was good.

727
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: I think I saw on the ticker during the draft

728
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins having had a Pro Bowl quarterback since

729
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Marino. I don't even know if his name is Daniel,

730
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: but it sounds a little better when you say it out,

731
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: a little more mature. Uh So, if if two was good,

732
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: change the franchise. Appreciate everyone listening. Thanks a lot, enjoy

733
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: the weekend. I'll see you back at a regular scheduled

734
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: time on on Tuesday morning. Sorry for giving you that

735
00:36:47,120 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: little curveball, but you know it's the draft. SA
