Speaker 2: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Great Episode two thirty two.
Speaker 2: On honestly one of the biggest sports days of the year,
Speaker 2: you have three NBA playoff games, well two and a
Speaker 2: half because Magic Caps, but Lakers Nuggets season on the brink,
Speaker 2: six Ers Nicks season on the brink. This is that
Speaker 2: pivotal Game three where home team won games one and two.
Speaker 2: If the team down OH two who's now at home,
Speaker 2: wins Game three, we have a series and Game four
Speaker 2: becomes massive. Or if the team down OH two loses it,
Speaker 2: home series over. So we either get great series or walkovers.
Speaker 2: That is all happening under the backdrop really of the
Speaker 2: NFL Draft, so we will do all of that. Also,
Speaker 2: we stated a goal on this show. We had a goal.
Speaker 2: We have a goal to get to one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand subscribers to the YouTube channel before the end
Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft. We are nine hundred shy, So
Speaker 2: if we could pick up one thousand subscribers between now
Speaker 2: and our next show, I'll say we met that goal.
Speaker 2: So if you're watching, if you're listening to the podcast,
Speaker 2: subscribe to What's Right Show on YouTube. If you're already
Speaker 2: listening or watching on YouTube, I appreciate you being a viewer.
Speaker 2: If you're not a subscriber, yet, subscribe and hit the
Speaker 2: bell so you get notified when we go live. Speaking
Speaker 2: of getting notified and we go live, I was so
Speaker 2: busy talking to Demande about Clippers MAVs that I forgot
Speaker 2: to retweet the link to the show. I just did that.
Speaker 2: Let's get right into what missed the cut for today's show.
Speaker 2: Detroit gives a monros Saint Brown and Penay Sewol massive
Speaker 2: amounts of money. Good for both of them. Caitlin Clark
Speaker 2: signs with Nike and demands classic category one take instantly
Speaker 2: right about the Big Three theater. You saw the the
Speaker 2: It was almost exactly what I said, which is, yes,
Speaker 2: it's millions of dollars in stuff and not nest necessarily
Speaker 2: millions of dollars in cash in hand. And Reggie Bush
Speaker 2: has his heisman returned, which is one of the most
Speaker 2: bizarre stories I can remember from eighteen years ago, which
Speaker 2: was when they said, no, no, bro, we're taking your
Speaker 2: heisman back. It's the Heisman Trust, not the Feds. Why
Speaker 2: did he give it back? Why didn't he just say, no,
Speaker 2: you can take my name off the record books, but
Speaker 2: you can't come in my house and take the trophy.
Speaker 2: I'm not giving you the trophy. The trophy, well, he
Speaker 2: gave it.
Speaker 3: Back to him.
Speaker 2: Okay, he gave it to him. If you say no,
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do, You're gonna sin that send
Speaker 2: Barry Sanders over there to take it from him. No,
Speaker 2: you're not. And I never understood at the time because Reggie,
Speaker 2: to his credit, had a long NFL career and has
Speaker 2: a very successful broadcasting career. But you never know where
Speaker 2: your career money is going to go. That's Reggie Bush's
Speaker 2: heisman at auction worth couple hundred grand. So you want
Speaker 2: me to give this thing back to you when it's
Speaker 2: kind of like a really good store of value break
Speaker 2: glass in case of emergency, if everything goes wrong for me,
Speaker 2: at least I have this thing to sell. Like I
Speaker 2: thought I had in my Kobe Bryant rookie card that
Speaker 2: I kept under my bed in college for because I
Speaker 2: knew I would one day go broke gambling, and I
Speaker 2: had like five super valuable basketball cards and a case
Speaker 2: under my bed. And then one day I did go
Speaker 2: broke gambling, and I was like, oh, this is so sad.
Speaker 2: I have to go sell these cards because I owed
Speaker 2: a guy a thousand bucks. And I went to the
Speaker 2: place sell the cards and they were all together worth
Speaker 2: like one hundred and forty dollars and I was just crushed.
Speaker 3: K a little different from the Regie Bus situation.
Speaker 2: Well, but I'm yeah, it is a little different. But
Speaker 2: my point is you try to you hold on to
Speaker 2: something thinking I don't want to ever have to sell this,
Speaker 2: but I might one day and then for me, that's
Speaker 2: a story for another day.
Speaker 3: Forty bucks for five cards.
Speaker 2: Five Yeah, but buddy, that led to that was that
Speaker 2: led to a sequence of just awful decisions. Because again
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into it. We're too busy
Speaker 2: of a show. But if you'ree a scary person one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and you have no money, and then you
Speaker 2: think you're gonna be able to pay them off with this,
Speaker 2: and then you end up being only having less, you
Speaker 2: know about one hundred and fifty dollars. Yet well, again,
Speaker 2: twenty one year old, me owing someone a lot of money,
Speaker 2: having four days to turn one hundred and forty dollars
Speaker 2: into a thousand. So not a lot of ways to
Speaker 2: do that. There's a couple tried and true ways to
Speaker 2: do that, one of which I'm not built for. And
Speaker 2: I found that out in very quick order. That's a
Speaker 2: story for another day. Now, demands, before we get to
Speaker 2: the draft, Let's get to the game last night. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So my Celtics lost last night at home to
Speaker 3: the Jimmy Butler less heat. The Lakers and the seventy
Speaker 3: six ers are back at home trying to drop to three.
Speaker 3: But it's shraft a, so we're gonna run through some
Speaker 3: NBA stuff really quickly. We could talk more about the
Speaker 3: Nuggets sweep on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Okay, the Nuggets aren't all right, so let's start. Let's
Speaker 2: start with your Celtics. Little denial from Joe Mizzoula and
Speaker 2: the Celtics players after the game, saying, basically, we defended
Speaker 2: the three. Well, they just hit shots twenty three wide
Speaker 2: open threes twenty three. I understand that Miami was crazy
Speaker 2: hot from three. I get that they hit the most
Speaker 2: threes they've ever hit in a playoff game. But when
Speaker 2: half of the shots are classified as wide open, no
Speaker 2: defender within five feet, that's that's a problem.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna raid you, Vincent or no Martin there, Darren Martin.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's what they did in the Eastern Conference
Speaker 2: Finals last year, and Caleb Martin had the series of
Speaker 2: his life. Then he went back to being Caleb Martin
Speaker 2: and now he's playing the Celtics and he's good again.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you a tweet from Kevin O'Connor, who
Speaker 2: writes and pods for The Ringer. He's great and is
Speaker 2: the opposite of a flamethrower when it comes to takes.
Speaker 2: He is measured. He is you know, he is not
Speaker 2: out here trying to like get reaction from people Kevin
Speaker 2: O'Connor last night at nine to nine pm. The Celtics
Speaker 2: would get swept by Denver, maybe take one game due
Speaker 2: to a hot shooting night, but they have no chance
Speaker 2: if it's the Nuggets in the NBA finals zero. Oh boy.
Speaker 2: This is where demand's a year. Celtics are in a
Speaker 2: weird spot. You win the conference by a dozen games,
Speaker 2: you get a round one matchup that would get your
Speaker 2: attention because of the Heat success against you, but Jimmy
Speaker 2: Butler's out, so it's easy to kind of sleep walk
Speaker 2: through it. Next round you're gonna get Cleveland, who is
Speaker 2: not going to be able to score with you. And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, like you're it's a six
Speaker 2: month season that's going to start in the beginning of
Speaker 2: month five or beginning of month six, I should say,
Speaker 2: actually in the conference finals, and so do I think
Speaker 2: the Celtics are going to lose to the Heat. Obviously not,
Speaker 2: but that's a terrible loss. That is by a point
Speaker 2: spread standpoint. The biggest upset in the playoffs since the
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen Clippers. Patrick Beverly Low Williams Young SGA Clippers
Speaker 2: beat the twenty nineteen Warriors and Katie was healthy at
Speaker 2: the time. They were the back to back defending champs.
Speaker 2: That led to the Kevin Durant doing the I'm Kevin
Speaker 2: Durant press conference. Uh that's a brutal loss. Just a brutal,
Speaker 2: brutal loss. And I'm curious your confidence level right now
Speaker 2: in your Celtics de Monsey. Uh, you to win the
Speaker 2: finals or well, to get out of the series series,
Speaker 2: make the finals, win the championship.
Speaker 3: I don't I have good I'm not sorry. I've got
Speaker 3: no fears of them losing this series. Uh, agreed. I
Speaker 3: think that a lot. I think a lot of things
Speaker 3: went in the heats favor like I don't think that
Speaker 3: that will be repeated. Bam Autebaio was just hitting shots
Speaker 3: that Martin was hitting shots I saw on a ball watching.
Speaker 3: I think I need to see Jason Tatum be a
Speaker 3: little bit more aggressive. But uh, but no so I.
Speaker 3: But they get to the finals and they see the Nuggets,
Speaker 3: and I don't think that. Well. My my confidence for
Speaker 3: us having an answer for Nicola Jokic if we end
Speaker 3: up seeing him in the finals, not great. But if
Speaker 3: any other team ends up getting there, I feel like
Speaker 3: we can make work of that.
Speaker 2: That's you know, that's fair. And you guys are built
Speaker 2: very similarly to Denver in this regard extraordinary starting five
Speaker 2: like one guy off the bench you trust. But that's
Speaker 2: actually good for the postseason in theory because your starters
Speaker 2: are gonna play more minutes. It's just a bad loss.
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. It hasn't happened yet. I guess
Speaker 2: you could argue, who is it? Who was it? Night
Speaker 2: before last, oh Grayson Allen hurt his ankle, but we
Speaker 2: were yet to have the oh Man key player from
Speaker 2: championship contender, not best player on the team. But you
Speaker 2: know your third or fourth best guy goes down for
Speaker 2: a couple weeks with a playoff injury, that inevitably is
Speaker 2: gonna happen to one or two teams, right, It just does.
Speaker 2: It's just sports. That's why now having this series go
Speaker 2: a minimum of five, and honestly it could go six
Speaker 2: because Miami could get one at home, you just you
Speaker 2: just extend the amount of time that something funky could happen,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. There's more games now that
Speaker 2: you gotta play, more more instances of guys crashing and
Speaker 2: falling around. And it's one thing if it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're in a brutal first round series, you know it's
Speaker 2: gonna go along.
Speaker 3: Also getting a little he's getting real chirpy. I'm noticing,
Speaker 3: like they start. I think there's like a little bit
Speaker 3: of a beef brewing. But in the series, so, I
Speaker 3: mean these teams hate each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, like I mean, you got to keep in mind,
Speaker 2: here's Jason Tatum's Jason Tatum's been in the league since
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, right, so his first as a rookie. They
Speaker 2: play Lebron. Fine, you know, they're up three to two.
Speaker 2: Lebron has two brilliant games and they win. But even
Speaker 2: though they were the favorites, nobody's given Tatum a hard
Speaker 2: time about that. At twenty nineteen, they lose to Giannis whatever.
Speaker 2: But once Tatum's been a star, they play in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty Eastern Armored Finals in the Bubble, they lose to Miami.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, twenty twenty two, they play in the
Speaker 2: Eastern Armorgs Finals. Seven game series goes down to the
Speaker 2: final shot, they lose to Miami or they beat Miami.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three, seven game series, they're up three to zero.
Speaker 2: It goes to seven games, they lose to Miami. Miami's been,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, a massive part of Jason
Speaker 2: Tatum's NBA postseason career, playing them in the conference finals
Speaker 2: as often as they have now to the two games tonight,
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend on Draft night a ton
Speaker 2: of time previewing series. This is a little heart, a
Speaker 2: lot of head. I think both home teams win. I
Speaker 2: think the Lakers get it to two to one. I
Speaker 2: think the Sixers get it to two to one, and
Speaker 2: then we'll see what Game four looks like in both
Speaker 2: those series. I also really hope the Sixers win because
Speaker 2: I'm going to Game four in Philly and Game four
Speaker 2: with it two to one, and this, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, could be a great game. But Game four
Speaker 2: at three to zero is gonna feel like, eh, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, like what are we kind of
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? Okay? Now win to the
Speaker 2: NFL Draft demonte go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So before we get into a couple of draft games,
Speaker 3: let's get the audience up to speed on your mock
Speaker 3: Draft four point zero aka the culmination of mock drafts
Speaker 3: one through four thousand. My question is, has Brett Veach
Speaker 3: blocked your number yet.
Speaker 2: So I actually have left Brett Veach alone throughout this process.
Speaker 2: And I also have been focusing not just on the
Speaker 2: Chiefs like it was last year, but on the whole league.
Speaker 2: I did mock draft four point zero Monday on television.
Speaker 2: There is one major change to it that I have
Speaker 2: made to this kind of mock draft version four point one,
Speaker 2: and I am going to try as quickly and as
Speaker 2: efficiently as possible go through all thirty two teams here
Speaker 2: and talk about why I have them drafting, who I
Speaker 2: have them drafting, and the analysis behind it. So the
Speaker 2: first overall pick we all know, everyone knows is going
Speaker 2: to be Caleb Williams. That is not a question. That
Speaker 2: is not a debate that has been locked in stone
Speaker 2: for quite some time. Well, listen, you guys know how
Speaker 2: high I am on Caleb. Here is where my change
Speaker 2: comes from Monday to now. I did have the Washington
Speaker 2: commanders taking Drake May. I now have seen the Vegas
Speaker 2: odds drop enough, have heard enough people I trust, and
Speaker 2: I'm not going to reveal any sources publicly. I'm going
Speaker 2: to text Demonse right now so he can react, but
Speaker 2: don't say who it is. Demansey. I just want to
Speaker 2: see your live reaction of the person. Someone a high
Speaker 2: level NFL figure who might have some level of insight
Speaker 2: on the commanders or their coaching staff or their front
Speaker 2: office or someone text me after mock draft four point
Speaker 2: zero and said, no chance they're taking Drake over Jaden.
Speaker 2: No chance. And then we had a whole little draft
Speaker 2: conversation back and forth. It was quite nice, okay, but
Speaker 2: that is that was enough for me to go back
Speaker 2: and say, you know what the commanders did hire Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 2: Kingsbury's college quarterbacks, where Patrick Mahomes and Caleb Williams want
Speaker 2: a more of a dual threat option. Jaden I think
Speaker 2: is probably the pick. Here is my concern on Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 2: He is old and he is skinny. Okay, and I
Speaker 2: and we'll go through this full top ten but you
Speaker 2: can see it on your screen for watching on YouTube
Speaker 2: right now, but I want to stay on Jayden and
Speaker 2: Daniels for a moment. Old and skinny is not a
Speaker 2: good recipe. Demon's how much do you weigh? Do you know?
Speaker 2: Do you mind saying?
Speaker 3: Do you haven't?
Speaker 2: About one ninety and you are a shade under six
Speaker 2: three right at six three A shade over six three.
Speaker 3: Well, I think I'm about six fourths with the doctors
Speaker 3: tell me, but probably six three and a half.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so he's my bad A shade over
Speaker 2: six three, okay, so your six he won ninety. Do
Speaker 2: you think you have the body to be an NFL quarterback?
Speaker 2: Because I do not. I think you would get hurt
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 3: And Jane Daniels.
Speaker 2: Is six' four a true six ' four weight in
Speaker 2: it two ten when he was trying to weigh as
Speaker 2: much as possible, which means he really weighs one ninety eight.
Speaker 2: He's too skinny, man, He's just too skinny. And and
Speaker 2: so you add that to the fact that he is
Speaker 2: the same high school class as Sam House.
Speaker 3: Isn't that bad? Is it? Like?
Speaker 2: I feel like that's it's buddy, it is too I'm
Speaker 2: gonna so all send and maybe we can get it
Speaker 2: that this is probably so Caleb is but one and
Speaker 2: a half six one and a half. Any weighs more
Speaker 2: than two ten. That's kind of my point. So there
Speaker 2: is like I'm gonna I'm gonna send a picture I
Speaker 2: used it on TV. I'll send it to the group
Speaker 2: chat I don't know if we can get it on
Speaker 2: the show or not. Uh, but I want you to
Speaker 2: see it. Demands the the and we can show it whenever,
Speaker 2: Caleb or I'm sorry Jaden yesterday talking look at your phone.
Speaker 2: Look at this guy. He's gonna get annihilated, man. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's just he's just too skinny, and everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's gonna put on weight. If he could, he would,
Speaker 2: if he could put on weight, he would put on weight.
Speaker 2: And then there's the age factor.
Speaker 3: We wouldn't be that he ever had to put it
Speaker 3: like it was absolutely mandatory that he put on the weight.
Speaker 3: And I think now that he's going to the NFL
Speaker 3: is what they're saying.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I get that, but LSU's got a
Speaker 2: weight room. I mean he does. I mean when we
Speaker 2: show that picture like he has, he just has a
Speaker 2: slight frame. And then there's the age factor, and people
Speaker 2: misconstrue when I'm talking about age. It's not that, oh,
Speaker 2: because he's two years older than Drake May, his career
Speaker 2: is gonna be shorter. That has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Correct, It's yes, So like I
Speaker 2: don't think Sam Howell's very good. Right, But Sam Howell
Speaker 2: is the same draft or high school classes Jadeen Daniels.
Speaker 2: How would Sam Howell have looked if the last two
Speaker 2: years he was playing college football? Probably freaking awesome and
Speaker 2: these Yeah, and so I that's jade and Daniels, And
Speaker 2: so we can show you the picture so you guys
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. People can say there's a
Speaker 2: bad angle. I don't know, man, that guy looks like
Speaker 2: a snapped collar bone waiting to happen. And so it
Speaker 2: just concerns me, and so it and the age part
Speaker 2: of it can discerns me. Just does and so. But
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna go number two. In that circumstance,
Speaker 2: I believe the Patriots are pretty clearly drafting a quarterback.
Speaker 2: I think that they are going to end up taking
Speaker 2: Drake May number three. And then the draft gets really interesting.
Speaker 2: Are the Cardinals going to trade out or are they
Speaker 2: going to stay right where they are? The Cardinals need
Speaker 2: great players. They have an expensive quarterback, Marvin Harrison is
Speaker 2: sitting right there. I think they will take him. There
Speaker 2: was a ton of smoke right when the Vikings traded
Speaker 2: for their additional first round pick that they are doing
Speaker 2: this to move up for JJ McCarthy. Since then, that
Speaker 2: seems to have cooled off. I actually think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I see a ton of mock drafts this morning that
Speaker 2: have the Chargers staying there and drafting J. C. Latham.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. I think that the
Speaker 2: Vikings are gonna move up package their two first this
Speaker 2: year and their first next year to get JJ McCarthy,
Speaker 2: and then the Giants. They probably have to run it.
Speaker 2: Under this scenario, run it back one more year with
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. They haven't had a great receiver since the
Speaker 2: beginning of Odell. Some people have Molak Neighbors number one
Speaker 2: as their receivers. I think they take neighbors. Joe All
Speaker 2: to the Titans is the most obvious pick in this draft.
Speaker 2: Every single mock I have done, in every single monck
Speaker 2: I have seen, has that happening. Probably means it won't,
Speaker 2: but I believe it will. The top offensive lineman off
Speaker 2: the board goes to the Titans. That the Falcons are
Speaker 2: in a unique spot because they have to draft defense.
Speaker 2: They have a decent offensive line. They have spent top
Speaker 2: ten picks on a tight end wide receiver and running
Speaker 2: back the last three years, and they just signed Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: They could sit at pick eight and take the number
Speaker 2: one defensive player on their board, because the first seven
Speaker 2: picks of this draft are going to the offense. Now,
Speaker 2: maybe they trade down, but I think they're gonna take
Speaker 2: Dallas Turner, the edge out of Alabama, and that then
Speaker 2: puts the Bears in a unique spot. Do they want
Speaker 2: to go left tackle to protect Caleb? Do they want
Speaker 2: to go interior defensive line and go Byron Murphy, or
Speaker 2: do they want to get a stud receiver? I think
Speaker 2: they go stud receiver. Take Roma Doonzay and Caleb as
Speaker 2: DJ Moore on the big contract. Keenan Allen is the
Speaker 2: aging vet, and Roma Doonsay is the stud on a
Speaker 2: rookie contract, and then I just think the Jets aren't
Speaker 2: gonna be able to help themselves. They should go left
Speaker 2: tackle here, they should buttress the offensive line. Instead, they're
Speaker 2: gonna hope and pray that the old offensive lineman that
Speaker 2: they acquired this offseason stay healthy. And the one major
Speaker 2: hole from a skill position perspective on their offenses tight end.
Speaker 2: They go Brock Bauers to make Aaron Rodgers happy. Now
Speaker 2: we can show the next ten picks. I think we
Speaker 2: have them. If not, I can Yeah, we do have them,
Speaker 2: all right. So this is where my mock is gonna
Speaker 2: be different than most. There is a ton like I
Speaker 2: said of JC Latham to the Chargers at five, smoke,
Speaker 2: under this scenario, JC Latham, the left tackle or the
Speaker 2: tackle from Alabama is available at eleven. I still think
Speaker 2: Talise Fuaga, the right tackle out of Oregon State, is better.
Speaker 2: I think it's more likely that Jim Harbaugh drafts him.
Speaker 2: They have their left tackle, they have their right tackle,
Speaker 2: and then the Broncos reach massively on bow Knicks because
Speaker 2: Sewn Peyton's gotta have a quarterback. He is not going
Speaker 2: into the season with Jared Stidham and with the Zach
Speaker 2: Wilson It's just not happening. So now, could the Broncos
Speaker 2: be a trade back and then draft bon Knicks candidate. Sure,
Speaker 2: but if they think he's worth the first round pick,
Speaker 2: then just secure him at twelve. A lot of people
Speaker 2: think the Raiders will take Pinnis at thirteen. I don't
Speaker 2: think Pennis given his age and his injury history. As
Speaker 2: a first round pick, the Raiders Antonio Peers has come
Speaker 2: out and said the Mahomes rules and all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Get another edge along opposite Max Crosby, lat Too from
Speaker 2: UCLA makes the most sense. The Saints have to go
Speaker 2: offensive line here. This is a spot where maybe I'll
Speaker 2: get the player wrong, but I am certain they're going
Speaker 2: offensive line. Trevor Penning, who they traded up for in
Speaker 2: the first round a couple of years ago, has not
Speaker 2: worked out right. Ramcheck it might have to retire due
Speaker 2: to injury. So I think they're going Forshanu to assist
Speaker 2: to give him a plug and play tackle on the
Speaker 2: offensive line. The tackle out of Penn State also one
Speaker 2: of the younger players in the draft. I think the
Speaker 2: Colts would love if the draft fell this way. If
Speaker 2: they're sitting at fifteen and only two defensive players have
Speaker 2: gone off the board, and they're both edge rushers, and
Speaker 2: they have their pick of any corner in the draft,
Speaker 2: they will go corner. I am confident in that. I
Speaker 2: think they go Quinny and Mitchell out of Toledo. Now
Speaker 2: to the second half or I guess the end of
Speaker 2: the first half of the first round. Troy Fottenu, he's
Speaker 2: listed a tackle. He probably plays interior in the NFL.
Speaker 2: He's down the street from the Seahawks playing the University
Speaker 2: of Washington. That to me is an obvious pick. Now
Speaker 2: the second half of the draft, the Jags gotta take
Speaker 2: a receiver because they thought they were gonna have Ridley
Speaker 2: and they don't. I do not like ad Ni Mitchell
Speaker 2: as the fourth receiver taken in this draft, but the
Speaker 2: Jags front office, led by Trent Balkey, loves going Galaxy
Speaker 2: brain on the draft and going the position everyone thinks
Speaker 2: they're gonna do, but a different player. See Trayvon Walker
Speaker 2: over who's the edge that went to Michigan that plays
Speaker 2: for the Lions now Aiden Hutchinson. So I think they
Speaker 2: could take ad Ni Mitchell there. The Bengals need a
Speaker 2: replacement for DJ Murphy or DJ Murphy DJ Reader. So
Speaker 2: their ability to get Byron Murphy the first d tackle
Speaker 2: off on everyone's board him and Johnny Newton. I think
Speaker 2: that makes a lot of sense. The Rams. Some people
Speaker 2: have the Rams taking a quarterback here to back up Stafford.
Speaker 2: Rams haven't had a first round pick in eight years.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna spend one on a guy
Speaker 2: they don't expect to play. They still need help in
Speaker 2: the secondary. Terry and Arnold is a lot of people's
Speaker 2: cornerback one in this draft. I think that makes sense.
Speaker 2: And the Steelers are going offensive line. Now. Maybe if
Speaker 2: he's there, they go j. C. Latham. But the reports
Speaker 2: out of Pittsburgh from our friend Andrew Philipponi connected them
Speaker 2: to a Marius Mims, so I think Amarus Mims makes
Speaker 2: a lot of sense for them. Now we'll get to
Speaker 2: the final twelve picks of the draft quickly. Here Johnny
Speaker 2: Newton the d tackle from the Dolphins or from Illinois.
Speaker 2: The Dolphins lost Christian Wilkins. That makes a lot of
Speaker 2: sense there. This Eagles need secondary help. Cooper Dejene can
Speaker 2: play safety, can play corner, can play nickel corner, and
Speaker 2: is gonna be our first white corner in the NFL
Speaker 2: in twenty some years. The Eagles take him at twenty two.
Speaker 2: The Charger. This is a tough one because you feel
Speaker 2: like Harbaugh is gonna want to build up the offensive
Speaker 2: and defensive lines first and foremost. However, you lost Keenan
Speaker 2: Allen and Mike Williams. If Brian Thomas is there, you
Speaker 2: feel like they have to take him. The Cowboys would
Speaker 2: be thrilled if Graham Barton, who played tackle at Duke
Speaker 2: but can play all five spots on the offensive line,
Speaker 2: is there given the guys they lost on the offensive line,
Speaker 2: and then I have Latham falling further than just about anyone.
Speaker 2: The Packers would sprint this pick in taking JC Latham.
Speaker 2: They have a seventh round pick right now slated to
Speaker 2: play left tackle. That doesn't make sense, even though Latham
Speaker 2: is probably gonna play on the right side. The Bucks
Speaker 2: need secondary help all over the place, aside from one
Speaker 2: great safety, Nate Wiggins out of Clemson makes a lot
Speaker 2: of sense for them there Jared Vers. The Cardinals need
Speaker 2: impact guys. Some people have Jared Verse going in the
Speaker 2: top fifteen. I think available there. And then we get
Speaker 2: to some really fun final five six picks of the
Speaker 2: first round. The Bills have to draft a wide receiver. Now,
Speaker 2: there is some smoke they could move way up in
Speaker 2: the draft to get a receiver. I would love if
Speaker 2: the Bills mortgaged more future capital to move up. If
Speaker 2: they don't. Troy Franklin, the six ' three receiver out
Speaker 2: of Oregon, makes a lot of sense. Some people have
Speaker 2: speculated they would take Xavier Worthy, the guy who set
Speaker 2: the record at the combine. I think Worthy is going
Speaker 2: either twenty eight or twenty nine if he's there. I
Speaker 2: don't think Worthy is getting to thirty now Worthy I
Speaker 2: have concerns with as well. You know why it's one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five pounds and everybody people's I understand
Speaker 2: Deavonte Smith was super slight. But Davonte Smith at an
Speaker 2: eighteen hundred yard season in college, we saw him deal
Speaker 2: with it. People when I talked about Xavier Worthy, people
Speaker 2: were like, oh, that's what they said about Tank Dell.
Speaker 2: Did you see his rookie season. Yeah. I saw Tank
Speaker 2: Dell have an amazing rookie season until he got his
Speaker 2: legs snapped in half on a regular block because he's tiny,
Speaker 2: Like this is I I I don't. I feel badly
Speaker 2: about this sometimes, but I don't think I'm wrong in
Speaker 2: my belief. Football's for big people, and if you're not
Speaker 2: a big person, I have concerns, and so Xavier Worthy
Speaker 2: would scare me. But the Lions have been looking for
Speaker 2: his speedsterir since they traded up for Jamo Williams, and
Speaker 2: that hasn't quite worked out. So I like that pick there.
Speaker 2: The Ravens getting chop Robinson feels like a Ravens pick.
Speaker 2: I've mocked this in the last couple drafts. The Niners
Speaker 2: getting the best true center in the draft Jackson Powers
Speaker 2: Johnson out of Oregon when they had troubles on the
Speaker 2: inside of their offensive line make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: And I think the Chiefs are going tackle and Jordan
Speaker 2: Morgan's the best tackle left now. Could the Chiefs trade
Speaker 2: up to get not a wide receiver? Here's why I
Speaker 2: I don't think Rashi Rice is gonna be suspended for
Speaker 2: more than four games, Max. I think it's probably one
Speaker 2: or two games. But you also don't make your draft
Speaker 2: picks based on length of if they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: he might be banned from the league. But there's that
Speaker 2: They signed Hollywood, they have Rashi, they don't yet have
Speaker 2: a left tackle, and so I think they're going tackle now.
Speaker 2: Jordan Morgan. You're gonna laugh at me on this, Demanse.
Speaker 2: The concern with Jordan Morgan is he does have short arms.
Speaker 2: And I know that sounds ridiculous, but for left tackle
Speaker 2: you want really long arms because you want to be
Speaker 2: able to keep guys off of you. But uh, there
Speaker 2: are going to be under this scenario. Let me just
Speaker 2: explain another reason why I don't think the Chiefs have
Speaker 2: to go uh have to go receiver by the way,
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well, I mean it just is what it
Speaker 2: is now. I'd love Lad McConkie there, the uh slot
Speaker 2: receiver from Georgia. I think he would be great with Mahomes.
Speaker 2: But the reason I think that the Chiefs have to
Speaker 2: go tackle is under this version of the Monk, the
Speaker 2: following receivers are not first round picks. Lad McConkie, Kean Coleman,
Speaker 2: Roman Wilson, Ricky Purcell, Per Soul pardon me from Florida,
Speaker 2: Xavier Lagett, Jalen Polk. That is six wide receivers that
Speaker 2: are potentially second round talents or late first or not
Speaker 2: gonna be first round picks, but six wide receivers that
Speaker 2: could be any of those six theoretically could be available
Speaker 2: when the Chiefs are drafting at sixty four. And what
Speaker 2: you can do if you're the Chiefs is if you
Speaker 2: take a tackle at thirty two and then you see
Speaker 2: a run on wide receivers happening in the second round,
Speaker 2: you can do what they did last year to get
Speaker 2: Rashid Rice move up a few spots in the second round,
Speaker 2: secure your receiver. So that's what I think they're doing
Speaker 2: under this version of the draft. The best players who
Speaker 2: end up not being first round picks, just to name
Speaker 2: them so people have them in their head. Kool Aid
Speaker 2: the corner from Alabama, who I could theoretically see the
Speaker 2: Patriots drafting. I'm sorry, the Patriots is certainly the Patriots
Speaker 2: at their first second round pick. But the Chiefs drafting
Speaker 2: Tyler Nuban, the safety from Minnesota, Peyton Wilson the linebacker.
Speaker 2: Where did he go? Did he go to in C State? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The linebacker from in C State? And then Zach Frasier
Speaker 2: the center from West Virginia, along with a few corners
Speaker 2: like Mike San and were still and who's the other
Speaker 2: corner I don't even remember. Those are the guys who
Speaker 2: would be kind of at the top of the second round.
Speaker 2: So that's how I see the draft going.
Speaker 3: I am body doing a ravens Lamar Jackson trade out
Speaker 3: for Michael Pinnox with the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Yes, So that's the other thing that the Chiefs have
Speaker 2: going for him, so to speak, if there is a
Speaker 2: quarterback available, If Pinnis is still there at thirty two,
Speaker 2: there is a real chance a team pays a super
Speaker 2: high premium to move up to get him because teams
Speaker 2: love that fifty year option for quarterbacks, so once you
Speaker 2: become that's only available for first round picks. So the
Speaker 2: difference between drafting guy thirty two and thirty three is
Speaker 2: contract structure. And so yeah, but the I could see
Speaker 2: the Chiefs trading back, I think the Chiefs are more
Speaker 2: likely to trade back then trade up. Uh. And so
Speaker 2: that's where that's where I fall on this.
Speaker 3: And I got one more question his street. Go ahead,
Speaker 3: and in this mock draft, you've got five quarterbacks going
Speaker 3: in the first round. How many of them do you
Speaker 3: think will be it's in the NFL.
Speaker 2: History tells us it'll go like this, one star, uh,
Speaker 2: one good player, one below average starter, and two busts.
Speaker 2: That's what history tells us. History tells us there'll be
Speaker 2: one great player, one fine player, one guy that, and
Speaker 2: then two guys that are backups or you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, don't have long careers at all. That's that's
Speaker 2: what is So this idea that you're going to get
Speaker 2: three or four franchise quarterbacks, it's not that it's never happened.
Speaker 2: Eli Rivers Big Band were one draft. Uh, obviously I
Speaker 2: think it was l Way Kelly Marino were one draft.
Speaker 2: It has happened. It's very very rare. All right, we
Speaker 2: play a game of GM Consultant next, What's Right? All right?
Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Driving Think Right? Episode two thirty two,
Speaker 2: Demont's time for a new game in honor of the draft.
Speaker 2: Go ahead. Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's shraft day and you spent thousands of hours
Speaker 3: doing mock drafts all for this exact moment. The NFL
Speaker 3: GM community has come to understand the genius of you, Pops,
Speaker 3: and all thirty two gms have your number and on
Speaker 3: deck to call you tonight in case they can't make
Speaker 3: a final decision. You, Nick Wright, are the secret weapon
Speaker 3: in the extremely likely scenario NFL GM will call you
Speaker 3: to weigh in on their pick tonight. We're gonna practice.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play an NFL GM calling you with a dilemma,
Speaker 3: and I'll talk you through the scenario and you have
Speaker 3: to convince me what to do before the clock runs out.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it. Who's first? Oh oh, you're in
Speaker 2: Belichick's draft room.
Speaker 3: Okay, good, go ahead, Hey, Nick, it's me, Elliott Wolf,
Speaker 3: the kind of GM of the Patriots. Yes, this is
Speaker 3: still our draft room. Our favorite quarterback, Drake May is
Speaker 3: still on the board and a lot of teams want him.
Speaker 3: We can kickstart our rebuild with the trade. But who
Speaker 3: knows when we'll draft this high again? Do we say
Speaker 3: it three or trade back for multiple first rounders? Sixty
Speaker 3: seconds starts now.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is what you do, Elliott. I understand
Speaker 2: that you're getting calls from the Vikings, You're getting calls
Speaker 2: from a bunch of teams. You call up Joe Shane
Speaker 2: in the New York Giants right now, and you tell
Speaker 2: Joe Shane in the New York Giants that they can
Speaker 2: go from six to three. There is precedent for this,
Speaker 2: right Once upon a time, the Colts moved up, or
Speaker 2: the Jets moved up from six to three. They gave
Speaker 2: up the sixth pick and three second rounders. You call
Speaker 2: Joe Shane.
Speaker 3: Tell him you just a sixth pick.
Speaker 2: You want the sixth pick. You want his third rounder
Speaker 2: this year and next year's number one. Okay, you call him.
Speaker 2: He's gonna say yes today. So he does that. Now
Speaker 2: you you have the sixth pick. Well, no, I get
Speaker 2: another sixty seconds now because now I'm the sixth pick.
Speaker 2: So now that we can now I'm still I'm still
Speaker 2: talking to Elliott. No, it's fine. I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 2: So here's the deal, Elliott. It's gone perfectly. They have
Speaker 2: moved the Giants have moved up. They have taken Drake May,
Speaker 2: the Cardinals have drafted Marvin Harrison Junior, and the Chargers,
Speaker 2: as many people have suspected, they might have taken an offensive.
Speaker 2: Lind Now you are sitting there at number six. You
Speaker 2: have the choice. You can take J. J. McCarthy at six,
Speaker 2: or you call up Minnesota and you tell Minnesota, hey,
Speaker 2: your guy is here. I will give him to you
Speaker 2: for the eleventh pick, the twenty third pick, and next
Speaker 2: year's number two. Minnesota is gonna say yesterday. So now
Speaker 2: what you have ended up with. You have turned the
Speaker 2: third pick into the eleventh. My lights just went out,
Speaker 2: I think because I'm as short on time. You have turned.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You have turned the sixth, the third pick into the eleventh,
Speaker 2: the twenty third, a third rounder, and the Giant's number
Speaker 2: one pick next year. All of that is very important.
Speaker 2: Looks like Demonszi's lights went out too, we're having a
Speaker 2: whole lighting there you go, Demonsick's back. Okay, so that's
Speaker 2: what we've done. By the way, I'm gonna holler at
Speaker 2: Jake to see if he can fix these lights. But you, demons,
Speaker 2: you we can go on to the next thing.
Speaker 3: We forfeited our pick. Go ahead, it's the Giants GM.
Speaker 3: Wowwe no. I like it. I do not know my
Speaker 3: own name, so don't ask. I've got Sean on the line,
Speaker 3: and they're interested in moving down to number six, So
Speaker 3: we can move up for JJ McCarthy, or we can
Speaker 3: stay at number six and be guaranteed one of the
Speaker 3: top three receivers. Do I trade up for JJ? Or
Speaker 3: do I stay and pick a wide receiver? Sixty seconds
Speaker 3: starts now.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you're the Giants, that the smart move would
Speaker 2: be stay at six and then hold a little mini
Speaker 2: auction for the sixth pick. But if nobody is willing
Speaker 2: to make the trade that I just laid out, if
Speaker 2: the Vikings don't want to move up, now, ideally what
Speaker 2: you do is you call Denver and you say, we'll
Speaker 2: move from six to twelve.
Speaker 3: Francisco Giants, though, okay, stop it.
Speaker 2: If you move from six to twelve. You will then
Speaker 2: if Denver wants to include next year's number one, you'll
Speaker 2: do that because Denver is gonna be terrible. That's a
Speaker 2: move you make. If not, you stampat. You draft Melik
Speaker 2: Neighbors and you just say we finally have a stud receiver.
Speaker 2: If you can't get Denver to pay through the nose
Speaker 2: or Minnesota pay through the nose, send in Melik Neighbors.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, all right, it works out.
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no problem. Well it's the next one. Good job.
Speaker 3: Oh right, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Oh they're doing this is really worthwhile watching on YouTube.
Speaker 2: This is great. We're now in the Bears draft room.
Speaker 3: Jim Ryan Polls from Chicago. Here, we have a conundrum.
Speaker 3: Haleb Williams is already making demands. He said today he
Speaker 3: wants us to draft tech who oluvashanuh Is high school
Speaker 3: teammate Baroma Doonze is still sitting here. Should we draft
Speaker 3: Caleb's buddy or the best wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Caleb is gonna be happy with either
Speaker 2: of these picks. What you don't want to do is
Speaker 2: take defense. You want to support the offense. Now I
Speaker 2: understand the want to draft Oulu and I get it,
Speaker 2: and it makes sense. But Caleb also spent a lot
Speaker 2: of time with the Donesay. He will not be unhappy
Speaker 2: with the Doomsay and with the explosion in wide receiver
Speaker 2: salaries getting Roma Doonsay for five years on a discount deal.
Speaker 2: You drafted a tackle in the top ten last year,
Speaker 2: so you don't need to do it again. So I
Speaker 2: like Roma Dunsay at nine.
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, I've got a call coming in from
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers. They're calling about Brandon Ayuk.
Speaker 2: For the ninth pick. Hang up, to hang up, tell
Speaker 2: him to go to hell. Stop John Lynch. Ninth pick.
Speaker 2: Send in the Roma doones A pick, sim send in
Speaker 2: the Roma Doonesay pick. Caleb will be happy. That's an
Speaker 2: easy one. Go ahead, and next, that was easy. This
Speaker 2: is a great game. Go ahead. Oh they really brought
Speaker 2: a bunch of phones out, My goodness, gracious, all different
Speaker 2: types of phones. That's an old school funk.
Speaker 3: Hey, it's show Douglas with the Jets calling from our
Speaker 3: war room. It's a Darken's retreat somewhere in South America.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get in touch with my boss, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: But I can't see him currently. He wants Rock Bowers.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. JJ McCarthy is still available. He
Speaker 3: might be close to me. Right now, do we pick
Speaker 3: Brock Bowers or do we draft Rogers successor sixty seconds?
Speaker 2: Okay, this is listen. This is where you really put
Speaker 2: the screws to them. Okay, guys, and this is where
Speaker 2: you make Rogers happy and you you win the draft. Here,
Speaker 2: Joe Douglas. If JJ McCarthy is there at ten, you
Speaker 2: call up Sean Payton because Minnesota is sitting there. At eleven,
Speaker 2: you call up Sean Payton and you say, we want
Speaker 2: for the twelfth.
Speaker 3: Pick, get the spotty in the darkness retreat.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, this is important. Broncos draft capital. Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, I wasn't ready for this. Broncos draft picks
Speaker 2: they've got, Oh my goodness, gracious, I'm running out of time.
Speaker 2: Broncos twenty twenty four draft picks. You want the twelfth
Speaker 2: pick from Denver and the seventy sixth pick and a fifth.
Speaker 2: You want those three picks so they can move up
Speaker 2: from twelve to ten. You move back. The Vikings at
Speaker 2: eleven won't draft the tight end because they have Hockinson,
Speaker 2: you get Vurs at twelve. Anyway, pick up two free picks,
Speaker 2: trade with Denver, end up with your guy anyway. Oh man,
Speaker 2: that was close. I need to have the bro because
Speaker 2: knew the Broncos gonna have a second Rond pick they
Speaker 2: traded for Sean Payton. All right, we got one more.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, it's your buddy, Brett Veach with Kansas City.
Speaker 3: I'm in our war room located in Andy Reid's closet.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pickle. Thank god, you texted me all those
Speaker 3: mock drafts, so I knew exactly what to call. Chicago
Speaker 3: is offering Caleb Williams and their first round pick in
Speaker 3: perpetuity from a homes We have sixty seconds to decide
Speaker 3: what should we do.
Speaker 2: Hang up on him. Hang up on him. This was
Speaker 2: the dumbest idea ever. Hang up on him and tell
Speaker 2: Ryan Pouls you'll never deal with him again for insulting
Speaker 2: you like that. Now, that first round pick and perpetuity
Speaker 2: thing is an idea I had years ago. It turns
Speaker 2: out it's against the NFL rules. But I said when
Speaker 2: I was on the radio in Kansas City a decade ago.
Speaker 2: Or I guess longer than twelve years ago. I said
Speaker 2: that the Chiefs, when they had the number one pick
Speaker 2: of the draft, that they should offer this for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: They should say, here's the trade. We will trade you
Speaker 2: the number one pick and the first round pick, our
Speaker 2: first round pick every year Rogers is on our roster
Speaker 2: for Aaron. Turns out that's not allowed. Uh, but so,
Speaker 2: but they're not trading Patrick Mahomes. What's up, de Monsey?
Speaker 2: You have two phone calls going on now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's some other guys calling about some other trades. Sorry,
Speaker 3: Oh okay, No, you're fine them so.
Speaker 2: Veach. I think is because they signed Hollywood Brown, the
Speaker 2: Chiefs are in a really good position to truly be
Speaker 2: able to take best player. Uh that they they might
Speaker 2: take a corner, They absolutely could take kool aid, They
Speaker 2: could take a wide receiver, and they could take a tackle. Also,
Speaker 2: whatever the producers are trying to get you to do, demonse,
Speaker 2: don't let them peer pressure. I can tell that you
Speaker 2: don't want to do it. Don't worry about it. Uh.
Speaker 2: People are asking, should you watch the draft of the NBA. Listen,
Speaker 2: Tonight's one of those nights that you need to be
Speaker 2: able to have a multi TV setup. If you don't
Speaker 2: have a multi TV setup, here's what I would tell you.
Speaker 2: Go TV for basketball, computer screen or phone screen for draft.
Speaker 2: Because draft is an informational thing, not necessarily you need
Speaker 2: to see every nuance of it, so you can only
Speaker 2: have one big screen. Obviously, put the big screen on,
Speaker 2: uh the NBA. But the draft is honestly what I'm
Speaker 2: most excited for tonight, even though the way this time's out,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are gonna be drafting like mid fourth quarter
Speaker 2: of the Lakers game, which is potentially which is.
Speaker 3: Gonna really put me in out there.
Speaker 2: In a blender. All right, let's do listener questions next.
Speaker 2: What's right? All right, welcome back in We'll right with
Speaker 2: the great episode two thirty two. What's up to Montay?
Speaker 3: Sorry, oh no, no, no, no, I was just gonna
Speaker 3: take I was gonna give you a second. Seem to
Speaker 3: be doing so much.
Speaker 2: No, I'm good, I'm just looking. I'm trying. Here's a
Speaker 2: weird thing. I think in New York, for some reason,
Speaker 2: you can't bet on certain types of things, So like
Speaker 2: in FanDuel in New York or DraftKings, I can't see
Speaker 2: any of the draft dodds because you're not allowed to
Speaker 2: bet those types of bets in New York. It's weird.
Speaker 2: I don't totally get it, and so I can't follow
Speaker 2: some of these draft dots. But let's get to the
Speaker 2: listener questions.
Speaker 3: So you're trying to bet on the draft right now?
Speaker 2: No, I read the first question and you'll understand it.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, Neil, Gary, Pennix and Nicks go round going
Speaker 3: round one to two, you get quarterbacks, and round one
Speaker 3: plus five and a half wagers it wagers in Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I was trying to see what the odds were
Speaker 2: that at least six quarterbacks were going Round one, and
Speaker 2: I can't see the odds. I don't think we're gonna
Speaker 2: have six quarterbacks in round one. I hope we do.
Speaker 2: What's best for the Chiefs is many quarterbacks and d
Speaker 2: lineman go in Round one as possible. Like what the
Speaker 2: Chiefs want is for them to have their pick of
Speaker 2: wide receiver, tackle, corner, and so that's what you want.
Speaker 2: Positions you're not going to draft to be the highly
Speaker 2: drafted positions, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, kai Jahuru asked a question Nick. During the offseason,
Speaker 3: when sports news have slowed down, do you have considered
Speaker 3: doing poker maybe twice a month, doing a poker show. Sorry,
Speaker 3: I'm learning how to play, and I think it would
Speaker 3: be cool.
Speaker 2: I don't think a poker show would actually be interesting.
Speaker 2: Is the problem? Like there are you know, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of poker like learning tools, and there's classes and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Now I have there is a poker
Speaker 2: based actual show that I've thought about trying to create
Speaker 2: for a long time, where it is basically the model
Speaker 2: of the shop, where it's you know, famous people sitting
Speaker 2: around talking, but instead of it being premised around a barbershop,
Speaker 2: it's around a poker table with whole card cam. So
Speaker 2: it's kind of both. But that's a heavy lift to
Speaker 2: get that off the ground. But maybe one.
Speaker 3: Day they're saying six six quarterbacks in round one is
Speaker 3: going at plus one eighty. By the way, six plus quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: That's that's wild, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Eric Allen asked, what do you think the biggest
Speaker 3: mistake of the draft tonight will be?
Speaker 2: Sounds like you're trading to get j McCarthy. I think
Speaker 2: trading up to get JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 3: The Patriots, Well.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have to trade up. They could sit there,
Speaker 2: but I just think I I just don't think JJ
Speaker 2: McCarthy is a great player.
Speaker 3: Next nac Real. If the Lakers win the next two games,
Speaker 3: what percentage do you give them to win the series.
Speaker 2: They're gonna I haven't changed my pick. Guys, Hey, Lakers
Speaker 2: and six, I'm halfway there. They've lost two. They always
Speaker 2: had to lose two to lose in six. Give me
Speaker 2: a break, all right?
Speaker 3: Next? All right, that man ask how was the surface
Speaker 3: on the banana phone? It wasn't great. Keep going, let's
Speaker 3: run through the LG said, I can't believe we'll never
Speaker 3: see demand back in the shades. You will today a
Speaker 3: little bit, yeah, a little different flow of the show.
Speaker 3: So I didn't want to throw in the shades. I've
Speaker 3: been thinking about it as well, but I'll have them
Speaker 3: on next time. All right, go ahead, gone to m JC.
Speaker 3: My guy Nick Wright dressed like an Albanian drug dealer.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm going for. That's the aesthetic I'm going for,
Speaker 2: and I appreciate that. All right, Go to Austin Taps.
Speaker 3: Question, Austin Tap, why do you use passer rating to
Speaker 3: evaluate quarterbacks instead of quarterback rating? Does the passer rating
Speaker 3: provide them no?
Speaker 2: No, no hold on saying why do I use fasser
Speaker 2: rating instead of QBR. So QBR is ESPN's proprietary stat,
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 3: It does the passer rating provide a more accurate depiction
Speaker 3: of their performance or as the quarterback? Or is the
Speaker 3: QBR skewed by stats that aren't relevant?
Speaker 2: I neither's a perfect stat. Passer rating is just very straightforward,
Speaker 2: even though the maximum score is one point fifty eight
Speaker 2: point three, which is weird. It's not normalized to a
Speaker 2: one hundred scale. But it's twenty five percent yards per attempt,
Speaker 2: twenty five percent touchdowns, twenty five percent interceptions, twenty five
Speaker 2: percent completion percentage. They get you. Passer rating. QBR is
Speaker 2: supposed to incorporate situation, rushing, a lot of other things.
Speaker 2: It theoretically is a better stat, but it also, to me,
Speaker 2: has a lot of noise in it, and the numbers
Speaker 2: are so close together that it's there is. I just
Speaker 2: don't like it as much. So I don't think there
Speaker 2: is a perfect catch I don't think EPA, I don't
Speaker 2: think CPOE. I don't think there is a perfect singular
Speaker 2: catch all passer evaluation stat. Maybe I should give QBR
Speaker 2: a little more love. It's just it's ESPN's uh, it's
Speaker 2: ESPN's proprietary things, so we don't use it on TV
Speaker 2: that often, and so I just I've always done passer rating.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go. This was a great show, Demons.
Speaker 2: You crushed, producers, you did a great job long night
Speaker 2: ahead of basketball in the draft. And again, please like, rate, subscribe,
