WEBVTT - Draft Mailbag + Scouting with Mike Tannenbaum 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:06.320 The Around the NFL podcast still thinks they could pass 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:12.039 for college students from the Chris Wesley podcast to do. 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.880 I don't know who is claiming that in this room. 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.280 Was that the consistent like angry agism theme coming from. 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:24.280 Jason's I think it might have been a reference hens. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:28.280 It's Around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansis, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Secler. Yeah, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.080 Mark went to Coachella? What of it? 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:34.600 Why is it made such a tremendous deal of I 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.879 don't know. It seems like someone else has issues with 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.800 it much more than I do. I came, I went, 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:41.480 it's my moved on, It's now? 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:42.800 Was it Thursday? It's Thursday. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.559 The most surprising thing about it was you are a 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.600 self admitted not a music guy. Yeah, but he was 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.199 the only surprising. Well, first of all, that's I wouldn't. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.480 That's that's an over explanation. 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.760 That's off base. Like I do like tons of music. 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.160 I went there and found new stuff that I liked, 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.319 but there's about seven thousand other things that you can 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.000 accomplish there and see and do, so, you know, get 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:05.800 off his back is what? 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:07.840 That's the taste? Who's they? 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.120 And I came back here with all these production elements 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:12.720 attacking my weekend choices. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.840 Yeah, what what's going on? What's going behind the scenes? 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.720 Who propelled you to to to go down that road? Justin? 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.960 I didn't write that drop, but I did receive it 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.600 a little while ago, and I thought, based on the 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.640 things that had happened earlier this week on the show, 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.560 that it made sense to be you know, you would imagine. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.320 I would imagine that not all layers of the pre 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.480 planning process have been revealed to myself. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.960 The narrative, the narrative was in place, you're saying, Justin, 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.600 and you were just extending the narrative right the through 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.240 line of this week's. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.680 I always try to find story line, a zum drop 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.760 that relates to what is happening in the show. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.600 And I think that's just good producing. You know what 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.480 else would be good producing? Suggesting that, you know, it's 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.040 the off season. We got some extra breathing space here. 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.600 We should do the seven thousand things at Coachella and 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.080 not in music that you can get into podcast. I 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.200 think that'd be fun. It's made a bit of a mouthful, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.920 but I'd like to hear all seven thousand be happy 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.600 to race that. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.079 And I think any writers behind the scenes might have 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.400 some that might be more material. Exactly unbelievable. It all 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:23.160 folds into one seamless production. Speaking of our producer, Justin Graver, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.880 there had been as I understand it, this was a 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.320 little surprising to me, but people aren't clear on some 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:36.040 details of our live Round one stream of the NFL 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.959 Draft and what exactly it is. I guess we didn't 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.560 do me included by the way, so we didn't do 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.720 the job that we were trying to do in the 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.280 last show in terms of explaining what it is. So 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.400 do you want to perhaps provide clarity to those members 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.000 of the audience? 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.680 And Mark, absolutely, I would love to. So we're going 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.600 to be live on YouTube during the first round of 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.160 the draft that Thursday, I play. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.679 You did but just for you. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.480 During the first round of the draft next Thursday night, 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.760 April twenty seventh, we'll be live at eight pm Eastern 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.240 five pm Pacific, basically to watch the first round of 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.640 the draft. If you guys have ever wondered what's it 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.399 like to watch the draft with the atn heroes, this 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.200 is your chance. We're not going to be broadcasting the 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.040 draft footage or coverage, so sort of like a compendium. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.720 Put the draft on your TV on NFL Network, open 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.120 up your laptop, your tablet, your phone, stream the atn show, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.360 and hang out with us during the draft. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.040 Where people wondering if we'd be tipping picks or something 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:38.520 like that. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.520 Like I I think people were wondering if we would 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.480 show the like Goodell announcing each pick or anything like that. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.600 We won't be tipping. We won't be tipping picks. We 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.200 won't be doing any of that. We're just gonna be 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.440 like hanging out watching the draft. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:49.920 So join us. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.520 It's gonna be fun. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.760 And I love I love the word compendium. Else I 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.280 also want to say, like if people don't want to 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.640 to do it in concert with the telcast, I say 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.600 you should and watch NFL Network. But we're going as 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.960 soon as the draft pick is made by Roger Goodell, 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.680 we're going to repeat it as well, so we could 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.200 be a one stop shop if you need us to 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:07.680 be as well. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.720 We certainly will be mentioning it. We will not be 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.640 calling it a compendium though. COMPENITM. Yeah, I think you 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.599 were trying to think of adendum. I don't even know 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.760 a compendium is a summary. According to dictionary dot com 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.760 a brief treatment or account of a subject. I don't 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.320 think it works in this context in any way. Companion 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.160 or a dendum, I guess. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.279 I don't think a compendium would be three plus hours long. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.440 No, it's either way. It's it's not a word that 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.160 makes any sense to their context. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.599 English is kind of hard, you know. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.479 It was just roll it, shut up. It's axillary. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.240 I mean, if we're gonna give them, there's some people 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.839 that have told me they've learned English by listening to 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.159 this podcast, and I wouldn't I wouldn't want to. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.720 Would you please shake today's show? 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:57.000 Good? 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:03.800 One more draft coverage. Mike Tannenbaum, former front office GM 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.440 and executive vice president. He's done it all in our 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.400 league and now he's an insider for ESPN and a 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.920 friend of the show. This is not Mike's first trip 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.520 to around the NFL land. He's going to join us 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.920 a little bit later, but before we do that, speaking 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:23.240 of the listeners and viewers that we love oh so much, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:35.120 sent out a mailbag prompt yesterday, draft questions, comments, theories, 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.680 What do you have got? And I thought they did 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.839 a nice job. I thought they did a nice job. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.360 Is that always the case. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.320 I mean, I feel like the performance goes up and down. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.120 At this time they seem primed. 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.560 I would say, who's like a inconsistent, Like who's known 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.599 for being inconsistent in the NFL? He can't quite put 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.760 a finger on his performance? Is like a Baker Mayfield. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.920 Baker Mayfield sort of fits that. Yeah, so we're care 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.080 but this was Baker playing the Broncos on Christmas or whatever. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:11.839 Great performance. Let's get to it. Maybe we're shorting the 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:12.600 audience with Baker. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.719 Yeah, for a franchise in turmoil, and you know how 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:16.760 about Kirk Cousins. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.960 Let's do it kind of steady ed, Derek Carr Car. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.280 Derek Carr Car, let's go there. But that's only when 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.919 it comes to the mail bag. Let's go through some 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.640 questions that kind of jumped out that were solid justin, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.440 let's go you want to read him justin. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.840 I'd be happy to read. Okay, go ahead, all right, 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.640 at Dan at around the NFL. Okay, welcome this one. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.599 I did because it's where do you Dan? And each 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.720 of the heroes want to see richardson land. Also, I 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.679 implore Mark to flex his third eye after his stay 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.200 in the desert to peek into the future and relay 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.400 to us whether this young man's tail be tall or tragic. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:54.880 That's from Yakobabro. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.960 I like that one, very good Yako. This man is 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.839 celebrating for twenty today. This tweet. The author of the tweet. 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:12.520 For twenty bro twenty brouh to our really high damn 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.360 damashek who would do that in the newsroom very often, very. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:21.480 Often Anthony Richardson polarizing, tantilizing draft prospect out of the 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:22.880 University of Florida. Mark. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.760 My first instinct is enough with this jazz about the 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.320 Falcons telling us that Desmond Ridder is the second coming 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:33.080 of someone else. Like, just go get Anthony Richardson. I 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.360 love the idea of him being developed there in a 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.360 run heavy offense that can use everything he does. You 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.600 can use Ritter this year and let Richardson grow into 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.160 what he is. I think richards and someone who's we're 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.000 gonna be like, oh, he's a raw project who will 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.280 be starting by the second half of week two. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.360 Yeah, I'd love to see him with the Lions' That 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.760 was my easy choice. Like, I think the Seahawks should 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.480 take him. It's taken me a while to get to 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.000 this point, because you know how I feel about Gino. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.240 But I just think with their system and the way 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.440 they develop players, I think the Seats actually should take 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.000 Richardson because it's such an opportunity at the top of 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.440 the draft. But I don't think they will, and I 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.160 will be happy that they don't if the Lions grab 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.920 him right after that and he's the quarterback of the future. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.760 There exciting. If the Falcons come out of this draft 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.280 with Desmond Ridder and then all these different free agency 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.000 they brought in, I'm going to eather their asses on 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.880 Saturday night, go get a quarter I'm looking for it 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.960 to interesting if they get a quarterback that you can 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.559 really get excited about. Some people think that's Desmon Ridder. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.000 Raise your hand if you're out there next. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:41.600 All right, Next question from Blair Carrigan. Quote intangibles, quote, 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.920 get out of jail, phrases used by GMS league wide. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.760 First question over under how many times this will be 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:52.000 uttered on Draft night? And second part top ten drinking 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.959 game words for Draft night. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.079 That's good. Let's see. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.640 I mean value, you would be drunk. If Hammer he's 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:01.520 the word value. 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:12.240 Aaron Rodgers, you'd be sauced. Let's see what is it? Bendable? Yeah, 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:13.000 I think bendable. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.800 I feel like sometimes can be a little more of 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.920 a Day two or Day three where they're really doing 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.080 the old stretch for content. Whatever we need to do 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.800 talk about is how the way his legs and ankles, moth. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:27.720 Trade up, trade back, tremendous upside, upside, high motor guy. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.600 You could do a Bengo card. You really could sleep 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.480 or pick student of the game. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:42.560 Intangibles is annoying because like intangibles could mean literally anything 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.360 off like off the field means almost anything. Like Jalen Carter, 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.080 for instance, has a very serious thing that happened in 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.240 his life that changed his life, and I think that 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.120 should be considered. But I've seen it kind of thrown 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.760 that in like the fact that oh does he play 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.600 hard every play like, and they just throw it into 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.960 one big in tangibles bucket and it's like, you gotta 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.280 does you're talking. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.800 About does he pass the eye test? He does? That's 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.240 a good one. And as for the overunder, I would 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.960 say intangibles on the you're talking about the and we 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.199 everything we drive through the NFL Network telecast the eight 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.840 o'clock to eleven o'clock or whatever Eastern NFL network telecast. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:23.360 I'm gonna say fourteen and a half for intangible. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.480 I'll set the overunder best available player. That's one here, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.320 here's the one that annoys me. It's like, oh, you 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.680 can plug him in for ten years. Like, that's a 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.959 ten year starter. Plug and play ten years. It's always 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.160 ten and it's always a guard right and by the way, 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.360 guards like haven't been that safe picks in general, but 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.120 it's always like, oh, plug and play ten years. 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.320 This guy was his pro day was unbelievable. All right, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.160 what else we got? I like this one? By the way, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.880 trash can full of dirt. I don't even know what. 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.400 Yeah, that's pretty common. You know, maybe we should make 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.640 a Bingo card for our draft show next Thursday and 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:56.719 play this game as it goes. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.280 Great, great call defensive linemen who are hard to move 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.840 out of the way, A trash can full of dirt? 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.720 Have you ever tried? Pretty good? It's the heavy object. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.400 I think we could, we could come up with a 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.840 fun list. We would be drinking the gatorade the official 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.559 NFL pepsi so much. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.720 Yeah, let's get a big whiteboard, a Bengo board. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.240 Yeah, okay, fun, all right. Next question from Joe liften 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.880 a draft theory, actually not a question. The Detroit Lions 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.080 will take two d linemen and or edge rushers with 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.440 their picks at six and eighteen, and defenses across the 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.880 NFL will be overwhelmed with this talent complementing Hutchinson and Houston, 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.120 and the Lions will surpass the seventy sacks of the Eagles. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.839 Okay, so that's seventy sacks. That's a high number. I 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.320 don't know about all that, but I totally believe they 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.800 should do the old Speaking of tropes and cliches, I 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.880 think the Lions should think very hard about doing the 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.520 the all defense draft, where you the team that feels 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.199 like it's only one side of the ball that's giving 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.400 them trouble, and then they very consciously only draft players 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:00.520 on that side of the well. I feel like the 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.560 Cowboys have done that three or four times under Jara 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.880 in the last ten years or so. I love the 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.400 idea of them going and getting whether it's Will Anderson 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.240 or Tyree Wilson. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.560 Carter might fall to them at six. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.880 That would be crazy if Carter next to Hutchinson would 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.840 be parm with Hutchinson and then have a real strength 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.679 in your front seven because I don't think the offense. 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.440 I might be asking too much for the offense to 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.679 be as good as it was last year, but I 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.840 don't think it's gonna crater. So I love the idea 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.199 of building up that defense for Dan Campbell and then 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.440 seeing what happens. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.320 I like the spot there, and I don't feel like 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.680 they have massive needs, so they can do whatever they want. 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.040 I think they want to take defensive lineman. I think 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.200 it'd make more sense at six because it feels like 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.040 defensive linemen get pushed up a lot. This class seems 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.080 not super deep, and taking one again at eighteen. They 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:54.480 have taken Hutchinson, Own Muza, Riique, Josh Pascal, Ale McNeil, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.480 and there's another one I think that's not even on 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.320 the team anymore. That slips my mind. They've taken a 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.120 lot of linemen under Dan Campbell. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.360 I mean, Hutchinson worked out so far. That's part of 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.320 it is like actually hitting on these draft picks. The 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.760 Detroit Lions have been drafting top five for like seven 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:09.760 eons in a row. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.559 And remember the Lions. They get four games against the 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.800 Bears and the Vikings. Well maybe the Vikings will be 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:17.199 better on. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.080 And it's a Viking shade. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:24.120 The defense was wretched lest team? All right? What else? 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:26.000 All right? 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.640 From the Strength of Record podcast being popped for them here, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.160 If the Packers draft a wide receiver out of spite, 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.400 is that what it takes for Rogers to get his 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.079 second ring? But with another team chip on his shoulder? 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.800 What is going on? Let's check out that wide receiver 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.120 room for it's pretty rough the Packers is that it 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.240 would be kind of ironic if Rogers is gone and 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.840 they use the first round pick. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.959 And Dobbs are there one and two, which. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.040 Seems is obviously gone now there too. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.200 It seems insane, and they don't have a three Samari Tory, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:13:58.800 I guess. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.840 And then they had two first round picks last year 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.959 in a great wide receiver class and they punted on it. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.079 And now they're almost desperate for a wide receiver and 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.080 it's not seen as a great wide receiver class, so 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.040 of course they will probably take it. It looks like 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:12.959 spiteful timers. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.959 But I mean, if you suddenly are gonna roll with 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.760 Jordan Love, which they are, like, you have to build, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.560 it's not the same thing with Aaron Rodgers, where you 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.640 trust him his smart's, his pre snap, et cetera, to 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.160 do it all for you. Look, Jordan Love needs to 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.000 be surrounded by human beings that can help them out. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.680 They might be looking at the Graybeard's lineup and seeing 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.280 jar they need to bring in some veterans. They need 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.000 a tight end too, so I think they could take 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.800 the first tight end off the board at fourteen wouldn't 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:37.400 be totally shot. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.960 And as for the strength of Record podcast theory here, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.640 I do think there is some juice to get behind 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.240 about Rogers. All the great ones will find motivation and 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.480 try to stick it to the Packers this year. I 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.600 don't know if it's gonna be the Packers drafting a 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.000 wide receiver that really is what gives them the eye 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.560 of the tiger though, So no, I don't think that's 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.680 gonna do it. But check out the Strength of Record podcast? 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.200 What is it? Horri five times a week? Yeah, I 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.680 don't know. What is the Strength of Record? Pot? 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:06.960 Is it a podcast? 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.640 And look into it? I don't know, Okay, dangerous. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:17.560 This one comes from Robert's Burner. Going into last year, 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.360 it was the consensus view among analysts that Seattle had 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.840 one of the worst rosters in the league, a narrative 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.920 that proved totally wrong. Which team or teams with a 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.160 good draft class could exceed expectations in terms of roster 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:30.080 talent this year. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.280 The first thing that comes to mind is if they 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.040 go quarterback, which they're going to, and they get it 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.560 right and the quarterback plays right away. The Carolina Panthers, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.240 I think they there's a lot of talent on both 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.720 sides of the ball, and you've got that Frank Reich 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.640 coaching boost. A lot of chaos has been put away, 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.640 and I think there's just they they've played without a 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.480 quarterback for ages. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:54.440 Things could change. 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.960 I think that was a perfect choice. I don't know 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.760 if I can top it that. The Falcons I think 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.520 have chance the rest of the roster. They've just signed 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.200 a lot of okay guys. But the okay guys are 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.000 upgrades over what they have, and so I think they 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.840 are only a couple pieces away. They would be another one, 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.200 but I like the Panthers answer better. 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.760 I will throw out the Chicago Bears, who have can't 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.520 be a lot worse draft assets, and they have added 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.440 some bodies in there and justin fields, hopefully is fully healthy. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.240 I think with a good draft class, they could be 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.520 a team that is in contention in that division. Potentially, 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.600 that's a wide open division. I think the NFC North 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.720 interesting division fields is the key and he needs help. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.720 All right, more mailbag to hit. But let's pause for 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:44.320 a quick break. All right, we're back here we go. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.440 This next question comes from Will Savage. Is the Colts 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.680 moving up to two or three? I guess to get 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.560 Stroud or Young a real possibility? Would the Texans be 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.840 willing to trade down? I'm assuming he means with the Colts. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.320 Doesn't it feel like Jim Mersey has something up his sleeve? 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:00.400 You see tweet? 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.280 No, he basically said, we can move up, we can 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.159 move down, we can do what we can, sit right 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.480 where we are and get someone they're going after a quarterback. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.639 Wait, so what did that tweet? Actually? What was he saying? 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.879 He's saying, like, would the Texans actually trade down? 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.560 So what is jimers saying with that? 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.879 All options seem available to the Indianapolis cults in terms 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.560 of it, like what they'd be allowed license to go do? 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:22.320 Get crazy? 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.040 He also didn't he like he like sent out the 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.399 pictures of the different quarterback. It's yes, it's preposterous. I 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.680 like the theory. I think I saw it from Trevor U. 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.679 Sikama apologies if I pronounced it wrong from PFF who 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.560 thought the whole Texans like we're gonna not draft the 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:46.280 quarterback smoke screen is all about like getting someone else 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:52.240 to trade up to the number three spot. Uh, and 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.000 they end up actually taking a quarterback at the number 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.639 two spot and that leaves the Colts out in the 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.720 cold and not getting their quarterback. Which I like that 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.439 as theory because why why are the Texans putting it 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.359 out there so much that they're not going to take 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.160 a quarterback. Maybe it's the truth, but I don't trust anything. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:12.919 Like they are absolutely letting national reporters know, like that's 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:13.520 that's their plan. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.600 So they're gonna go to those extreme lengths just to 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.560 essentially pulling over on the Colts. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.120 That's so savage left. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:21.600 I think it would just be like it's over the 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:27.280 commar how about Colts focus on yourselves and same with Texans. 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.119 I don't think I think the Colts come out of 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.119 this if they they gave Lamar Jackson the cold shoulder. 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.840 To this point, have I think there's no way they 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.560 don't come out of this draft where they are right 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.640 now with somebody they really are feeling good about. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.679 Kuld be will Levis. DJ keeps saying lot of teams 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:43.400 like Levis. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:44.520 Okay. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:49.160 Next question from Matt Anderson actually another draft theory. Joe 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.880 Douglas can't be bothered to trade for Rogers as he's 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.879 tired of the Packers games. Instead, Douglas packages picks and 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:57.240 moves up to draft. 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.800 Will Levis thoughts, I did think, think about what if 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.000 there was more going on? Then then we realize is 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.720 it completely out of the realm of possibility that the 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.720 Jets pull a shocker and take a quarterback? Is that 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.520 a possibility? Probably not. We're probably too far down the 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.520 road here with Rogers for anything to happen. But at 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.200 the same time, like we know Rogers is a short 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.720 term fixed too, Like we don't know even if he 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.720 is a Jet, how long he's gonna be there. I 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.680 wouldn't rule it out, but like I said on previous show, 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.919
