They must have played for the Steelers 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: for a minimum of three seasons, okay, and they should 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: possess noteworthy career highlights, records and achievements. Yeah. I would 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: say there's plenty of those to pick from. And then 32 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: from this storyzation Yeah.

I mean I've 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: seen some of the lists. I mean there's a lot 39 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: to pick from. Correct me if I'm wrong. The second 40 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: somebody like when Fantika gets inducted the Hall of Fame, 41 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: he'll go on there's already Okay, yeah, he went in 42 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: last year or two years ago. But anyone that goes, 43 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: if you're in the Hall of Fame, you're automatically like 44 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: you're a yeah. So yeah, but there's still a ton 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: of stud players and you know, coaches and personalities and stuff. Unfortunately, 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, Donnie shell Um build none. They were 47 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: already on there. Those guys are already in. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: they were honored by the Steelers before the Hall of Fame. 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Yeah makes sense. Yeah, so uh. Anyways, the news of 50 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: the day, it's of the hour to the last half hour, jaking, 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: moving and shaking in the NFL Draft here that uh, 52 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: and we'll do our mock draft in a later segment today. 53 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: But my goodness, I think it's really it's big. You 54 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: don't typically see this kind of movement a month out 55 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: from the draft, and that's where we're at right now. 56 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: We're a month out from the draft, and the teams 57 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen, you know what I mean. I 58 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: think they're getting a better idea now that the Pro 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: days are starting to wrap up, that kind of stuff. 60 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: But the Miami Dolphins and forty Niners made a trade. Uh, 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: the forty Niners got the third overall pick in this 62 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: year's draft from the Dolphins. Miami gets the number twelve 63 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: overall pick this year, a third round pick in San 64 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: Francisco's and three first round draft picks. Then Miami went 65 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: ahead and moved at that number twelve pick. They moved 66 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: up with Philadelphia, which is six, trading one of their 67 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: future I think that one of those first round draft picks, 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: because they now had two in the in the twelfth 69 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: pick overall this year to move up to six. Uh, 70 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: this was like there's a mid round stuff. This was 71 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: within like twenty minutes of making that deal with the Dollars. 72 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Apparently they had already been talking to deal one, one, 73 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: two ago. So we're you gonna start I mean, actually 74 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: let's start here. I mean we're sitting here in the 75 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: studio recording this a little after two. These things just 76 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: happened within the last half hour. And coincidentally, or maybe 77 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: not coincidentally, Zack Wilson has been on TV throwing at 78 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: his pro day. He weighs in today at two fifteen 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: I think right in that neighboroo and a little over 80 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: six too. That was one of the not you know 81 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: what are we worried, which is fine, which is fine 82 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: as long as he's not tiny and skinny. Great, you know, 83 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: so he passed. He checked that box. I think we 84 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: know in the league just told us the first two 85 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: picks are gonna be Lawrence and Wilson. Yeah, and you know, 86 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: I mean without question. So the Niners are in love 87 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: with fields or Lands and they're gonna get him. They're 88 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna get him, and they're gonna get him. And it 89 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: cost him a lot, but it didn't cost so many players. 90 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: This year, they're in a Super Bowl. Year ago. They 91 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: get both the Kittle, brought back Trent Williams. They got 92 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: pretty loaded squad if they have a difference maker quarterback. 93 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: Pretty loaded division though too division. They were the fourth 94 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: placed team in that division last year, mostly a lot 95 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: because of the injuries and that. Uh. Next week the 96 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: owners are going to meet to vote on the seventeen 97 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: game season, which will line up the a f C 98 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: North against the NFC West. Guys, So you're gonna see 99 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers host the Seahawks. The Ravens will host the Rams. Okay, 100 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: the Browns will host the Cardinals. Are they all going 101 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: to be in the a f C as home team. Yeah, okay, 102 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: and then Cincinnati gets I mean, none of those are 103 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: easy games. None of those are easy games. They're not 104 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: probably thrilled about playing in the North either. Those maybe 105 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: the best new divisions in the league at their places too, yea, 106 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: in this this side of the country. Um So, I 107 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: think the Niners think, hey, we're a big time contender. 108 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: I think they I pretty much know they kicked the 109 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: tires on the Watson move. Maybe there's another shoe to 110 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: drop and you can get another pick back with move 111 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: on to from Jimmy save a little cap space, or 112 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: maybe he's the opening day starter and Lansing Fields wait 113 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: their turn. Yeah, I can't imagine, like if they think 114 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: that they're a super Bowl contender, I can't imagine they 115 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: go with one of the backups again to start the 116 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: year and wait for the kid to get ready and 117 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: right and they haven't even got him in the building yet. 118 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: You can, I mean, you get trade Jimmy was a 119 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: mid season trade to begin with a couple of years ago. Yeah, yeah, 120 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: without question? You know, um so, And I assume they 121 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: think their future picks will be late hopefully thirty second. 122 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: You know they don't plan on picking in top five 123 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: again Miami to me, well, first of all, I think 124 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: Miami in Philly both put their money where their mouth 125 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: is and says, we like our quarterback, our second year guy. 126 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: We're fine going in with them, and they should. I mean, 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: they just drafted them, and they just drafted them, especially too. 128 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: It was a super early pick, and I do I 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: didn't love to two didn't play well this year, but 130 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I felt felt like he was unjustly criticized. I mean 131 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: at this point, he wasn't even working out a year ago. 132 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean he's still coming over a major injury, no 133 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: preseason any of that stuff. Bad line, the receivers weren't good, 134 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'll be honest. I didn't love him to 135 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: begin with. I didn't either, and I still don't. But 136 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: I still think the general public, I think he's too 137 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: hard on. I think he's more Teddy Bridgewater than he 138 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: is Joe Namouth or something. Yeah then superstar, Yeah, I agree. 139 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Um watching his tape, I think actually going to Alabama 140 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: hurt him a little bit because he he had to 141 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: throw to tight, tight windows in Miami. But now those 142 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: guy's got any separation even by NFL, so he did 143 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: not have to do that. Alabama. That had to be 144 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: night to day for him. You know. Did you see, 145 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: by the way, did you see the Nick Saban video 146 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: from today? It was a video of Saban talking about 147 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: how the college game has changed, and he said, yeah, 148 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: we had to make a We we gave up nineteen 149 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: points per game this year, which was six above like 150 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: what we usually like to give up, like what we think, 151 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: what we think is average, what we think should be average, 152 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: thirteen points a game, he said, But we still led 153 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the SEC in scoring defense, he said. It's he said, 154 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: basically what he said is about five years ago, we 155 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: decided that it's impossible, given the spread offenses, the fact 156 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: that you're allowed to block ahead of a pass down 157 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: field now in the game, that to play defense in 158 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: this in the league anymore. So now you know, you 159 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: just have to outscore the other team. The NFL is 160 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: very much to say, yeah, very very much. I mean, 161 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: and that's what I copied the tweet, and I said, 162 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: this is this applies to the NFL as well. Like, 163 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, you're not gonna see teams, you know, give 164 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: up fifteen points a game or four team points a 165 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: game over the course of the season unless they have 166 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: a really you know, the Patriots were doing that two 167 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: years ago and playing against really bad quarterbacks to do 168 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: it if you get lucky with the the schedule, and 169 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: schedule has to go your way. And but if you 170 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: do it over no one's gonna do it over thirty 171 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: games stretch. It's just not gonna you know, it's just 172 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: small sample sizes in the league. So Miami to me 173 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: to in the Dolphins to be are the biggest winners. Yeah, 174 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: because they go from three to six in the end, 175 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: get an extra third, picture, an extra first, and an 176 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: extra third, three spots knowing the three guys, three quarterbacks 177 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: are gonna be gone in the top six, and on 178 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: my hunches, they're gonna take Seoul or Chase or Pits 179 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: or Wattle or Smith that they would have taken a three. Yeah, 180 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You know who else is 181 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: a beneficiary of this? A team like the Bengals in Atlanta, 182 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: and well now we can call them right now, everybody's 183 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: gonna call Atlanta. The Bengals weren't going to take a quarterback. No, 184 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: So now if somebody else moves up into that with Atlanta, 185 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: we got four quarterbacks. In Theme, we can have four 186 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and then the Bengals get their pick of whoever 187 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: they wanted. Yes, and now they have their pick of 188 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: their top two right before it could have been their 189 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: top three, right, so they definitely benefit. They want every 190 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: quarterback to go and before five as possible, now as 191 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: short of three, Yeah, because that's one. You know, when 192 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: you do mock drafts, you end up with the Bengals 193 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: taking one of three guys. The Bengals take Pits, the 194 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: Bengals take Chase, or the Bengals take Seul. Yes, I 195 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: think they would prefer Seul, I would imagine. And there's 196 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: a much better chance he's there now and probably a 197 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: worst chance Miami gets sold, but so be it. They're 198 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: happy with Chase whoever, or maybe they move up the four. 199 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: They have the firepower to do anything they want. I 200 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: can't imagine if we do that. Though. You got a 201 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: great point about Miami two before we went on the air. 202 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: Let's say two of stinks. Well, you gave him every 203 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: every chance to succeed this year, and you have more 204 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: draft capital and anybody still yeah, you got two first 205 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: round draft picks and move up next year, you know, 206 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: and you got all these picks. You hat Houston second 207 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: round of this year too. I mean they're gonna add 208 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: a lot and you may even trade back again and 209 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: pick up another first next year, you know, you know, 210 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of options for them. Um, so 211 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: I think they made out the best Philly every mock 212 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: you see, that six pick was always a little Harry 213 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: like there wasn't an obvious fit. Yeah, Pits is great, 214 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: but they have got her. Chase would be fine, but 215 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: he might not be there. Probably not gonna go quarterback. 216 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: There's no defensive player to take. Sel doesn't make it 217 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: past the Bengals. Yeah, and I'm not sure they'd even 218 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: take a tackle. I mean, your line returns and they 219 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: need a lot of stuff. Cornerback would make a lot 220 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: of sense for them as well. You know, now at twelve, 221 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: it makes much more sense, makes a lot more sense, 222 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: or Michael Parsons or they need a lot of things. 223 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: They're totally rebuilding. Caps have been hitting them hard. They 224 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: need to bring in a lot more young and now 225 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: they have. Now they have another first round pick next year. 226 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hers doesn't work out right, you know, so they 227 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: have fallback lands to all three of them. It makes 228 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: a ton of sense to me. It's an aggressive move 229 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: by the Niners. It's a really aggressive move by the Niners. 230 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: And the boy, justin Fields a year from now thrown 231 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: to you can here's here's the question. Are there going 232 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: to be any teams left in the NFC West to 233 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: have first round draft picks the next couple of years? Right? Right, 234 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: that's a good point. And the Cardinals just keep bringing 235 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: in every old dude from they were good five years ago, 236 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: like the Rams have traded like they've they're done. They 237 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: keep punning on first round draft picks. Now, the Niners 238 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: don't have a pick first round pick the next after 239 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: this year for the next two years, like Seattle and 240 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: the Rams never a first round pick. You know, they 241 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: don't care about him. And when Seattle does have a 242 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: first round pick they use it on somebody that nobody 243 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: had ranked as a first round later. They know they're 244 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: not good at it. You're right, and those two teams 245 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: certainly philosophically, aren't. They build differently, There's no doubt about it. 246 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: And boy, this aggressive moved by the Niners. I like it. Yeah, um, 247 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: there's one. If it's Fields or Lands, it does make 248 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: you wonder, Like there was a couple of weeks ago, 249 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: there were rumors that the Bears that offered a bounty 250 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Uh, and they included like three first their 251 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: next three first round draft picks and all kinds of stuff, 252 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: a couple of starters and um, but none of them 253 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: are premium picks. Probably is like, yeah, the Bears are 254 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: picking twenty this year. It's not like it's you know, 255 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm Seatt all, you have to consider that. 256 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: But the man in charge is an old coach. Does 257 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: he want to rebuild again? And they don't have They 258 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback waiting in the wings, and making 259 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: that deal doesn't get them a quarterback. They would have 260 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: had to have been the team. Then the trades that 261 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: tenth pick in their first round pick to go up 262 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: and get the yeah, to go get the quarterback. There's 263 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: there's no path that's obvious too. Okay, you're giving me 264 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: a young quarterback, at least give me two and a 265 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: first you know what I mean, there's nothing there. You're 266 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: you're running out you know, Tyrod Taylor for a year 267 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: type of guy. You know, he's not even available somebody 268 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: like that. So just Pete Carroll want to do that? 269 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of which Earl buddy Joe Flacco gets signed by 270 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles on earlier this week. Couldn't be any different 271 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: than ja He could not, Like, it doesn't make any 272 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: sense to him. I don't think Joe's exactly the mentor 273 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: McCown job type either. I didn't understand that at all 274 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: from the Eagles. Where was that going with this? Though? 275 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: There was some of them. But they're definitely now out 276 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: of the quarterback market like that was. There were some rumors, right, 277 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: maybe the Eagles go get a quarterback this year. Maybe 278 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: they're not completely sold on Jalen Hurts. Well, now they're 279 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: back at twelve. It's gonna be hurt. It's gonna be Hurts. 280 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: But the other teams that affect to me are you know, 281 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: like I thought New England was really set up maybe 282 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: to move up. Well, now there's only two quarterbacks left, right, 283 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: maybe only one. I mean, it depends what you think 284 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: of Jones. I don't think Jones is in the top 285 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: five or in the top four, you know, I think 286 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't even think he's a first rounder to be 287 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: quite easy with you, but I bet he goes Before this, 288 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: somebody asked me about that this, you know, would you 289 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: It was on d K Pittsburgh sports dot com. Would 290 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: you've would you take Mac Jones at twenty four? I'm like, no, 291 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. And you know what, why not? I said, 292 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: he's Mason Rudolph. You know he's not super athletic. He's 293 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: an accurate pastor. Okay, great, but is he is? He? 294 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: Is he markedly better than than Rudolph? I don't know 295 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: that for sure. Rudolph for Jones right this second. Yeah, 296 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: but you got the expensive first round pick. I think 297 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: you know when you if you look at Jones as 298 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: a standalone player, he's a second or third round draft 299 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: pick tools without question. Yeah, I mean above the shoulders, 300 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: he's a first rounder. And as I said, if you 301 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: took Kyle Trask who played at Florida, put him with 302 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: Alabama and put Jones at Florida. Are we talking about 303 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: those guys in reverse order? Trask now the first, right, 304 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: he's the he's the fifth quarterback. You gotta take him, 305 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: and Jones is a third round pick. No, I think 306 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: that's very possible. I mean, he's coming off a ridiculous year, 307 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: but very few quarterbacks come in the league and win 308 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: with their mind that takes time you could, you could 309 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: have found a lot of quarterbacks in college football this 310 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: year who would have gone out and had success with 311 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: with what Alabama? Hey? Yeah, without question? Um, but I 312 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: think all of a sudden, like I thought Denver was 313 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: in a really good shot to you know, move from 314 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: eight to five and get a quarterback. Like I bet 315 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Atlanta's phones were ringing off the hook now, Like if 316 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: that was my plan, if from New England or Denver. 317 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Chicago and Washington have too far to go, probably and 318 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: Carolina Carolina in particular, they've been a flat outside. We're 319 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: gonna go get a quarterback? Like will they give the 320 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: Falcons the farm and Atlanta deal with the division? Does 321 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: this change the DeShawn Watson conversation? He's got to get 322 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: himself out of water, right, I mean, if he were available, 323 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: I think he's dealt already. I think he's a Panther 324 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: or a Bronco or if you're the If you're the Panthers, 325 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: do you called the Seahawks and say, hey, we'd like 326 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to come back to Carolina when he started 327 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: his career. Um, we get the you know, we're sitting 328 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: here at the eighth overall pick. Maybe we'll give you 329 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: a little swe her with that and take Teddy for now. 330 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: That's not I'm just saying back to the Seahawks conversation. Yeah, 331 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: but who's my quarterback on opening day? Yeah? I mean, 332 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: I think Carol thinks he could maybe win the Super 333 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: Bowls here if him and Rusk and kissing makeup for 334 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: a year. Yeah. I mean, I don't know the whole 335 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know, when you look at it, 336 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: this is just the first move of many, actually the 337 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: first two moves of many, because I don't think Donald's 338 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: gonna be a jet now. If Jimmy you'll stay in 339 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: San fran Yeah, I don't know. I mean, who knows. 340 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: Maybe they maybe both those guys stick around until they 341 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: can really get their price for them. It's interesting, though, 342 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: I mean, are the Bears happy they settled for Andy Dalton? 343 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: Is Washington happy they sell? Nobody's ever happy they settled. 344 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there but you know, we went over 345 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: this earlier in the week. There's just nothing left on 346 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: the on the free agent market. No, there's a much 347 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: more to grab at least have somebody they can line 348 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: up with and play an opening day. It's not great 349 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: it's not great and it's not the long term answer, 350 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: but like Washington's offense, it's kind of appealing right now. Yeah, 351 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: he's a lot more aggressive that Alex Smith is still 352 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: floating around out there. I mean, I could see teams 353 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: being interested in Donald. I could see teams wanting to 354 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: move up to four or five now to be the 355 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: last one to get one of those top four. But 356 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm not taking Alex Smith. I saw a thing. I 357 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: can't remember where I saw it. Um, I've read so 358 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: much stuff. Uh. Somebody said that they talked to a 359 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: bunch of personnel people around the league, and they said, 360 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: the fascination that the media has with Sam Donald is 361 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: not shared by teams. Teams think he stinks. Yeah, I 362 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: mean I think the Jets, you know that you're hearing 363 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: things like we might not take Wilson. It too, just 364 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: love Donald, and I think they are the draft starts 365 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: for for me. Yeah, I mean that the third guy 366 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: is gonna be But that's when it gets interesting. That's 367 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: the that's the next question with this, you know, because 368 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: Fields and Lance are similar, very similar, I don't know 369 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: which one i'd take, you know, Like I think the 370 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: obvious thought is Fields is from the bigger school. He 371 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: was a higher recruit, but trade lance is his way 372 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: above him mentally at this point. I mean he's changing 373 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: protections and doing things like that. But in Shanahan scheme, 374 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: we were talking about Fields on the air with stand 375 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: He said it could Fields me the pick of three, 376 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: and I first I thought of that, and I'm thinking. 377 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: My knock on Fields is he's a little bit of 378 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: a see it and throw it guy, and if it's 379 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: not there, I'm gonna run and I'm great at it. 380 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: So that's worked my whole life. But in Shanahan system, 381 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: that's not the wit worst weakness to have play action. 382 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean everything is very back friendly. If it's there, 383 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: it often is let it go. I mean it's almost 384 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: gonna be there. You know, it looks like may run 385 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense with with better receivers, better receivers, better 386 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: after the catch, more diversity. Yeah, without question. You know 387 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Trent Williams is your left tackle. I mean throwing to 388 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: Ayouke and Debo and Kiddle after the catch. I mean 389 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: one thing about Fields is he's very accurate when he 390 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: has time and lets it go traditionally. I mean he 391 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: puts it where it needs to be, much more so 392 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: than Lands. Yeah. I think that's one of the things 393 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: to speaking of the Ravens, that that is kind of 394 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: getting overlooked around the league. Yeah, they made a nice 395 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: signing with Zeitler, Yes, but they've lost everywhere else they 396 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: keep it. They keep getting ship Like t Y Hilton 397 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: signed yesterday and he said, yeah, I had a better 398 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: offer from the Ravens, but I didn't want to go there. Uh. 399 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: That's been like five receivers in a row now that 400 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: have basically said that they can't get a wide receiver, 401 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: so their wide receiver room isn't getting any better. They 402 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: don't have any addreshers, no, and the addresser thing doesn't 403 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: worry me as much for them, like crazy, and you 404 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: know they just might not get there because of the 405 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: guys they have rushing are just aren't very good. But 406 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: like when Juju came out and said I turned down 407 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: more with the Ravens, I kind of laughed about it, 408 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm like, that's a smart pr move. 409 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: You know, tell the Steeler fans that they hated Ravens. 410 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: You'd rather be a Steeler. I turned down. The Chiefs 411 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: are the best offense in the world. Every Steeler fan 412 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: will love you even more for smart juju. That makes 413 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: you look a little better. But then when other guys 414 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: do it yesterday, nobody wants to play there. If you 415 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: were a receiver, you would would would you want to 416 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: play there? Like, you're not gonna go to go there. 417 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: They don't throw me the ball, and even when they 418 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: throw it, it it might not be on target. And they 419 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: want me to block all the time. You think Hold 420 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: wants to go block, now you know what I mean, 421 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: that's not his game man, right, I could see Sammy 422 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: Watkins being their best option, and that's he'll get hurt 423 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: in week five. You know, it's not great to get 424 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: hurt blocking. No, I think that's true. I mean, you 425 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: hate to be in this situation. But they might have 426 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: to take a receiver in round one and be the 427 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: only way that they can do it, the only way 428 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: they can get better. Um Marky's Brown did play better 429 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: for them down the stretch, but he's a he's not 430 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: a number one. He's not number one. You need the 431 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: route runner. You need the get off press coverage on 432 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: third and eight, running out and the balls on time 433 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: and move the chains and you hold onto it. Yeah. 434 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean I always talk about this with them. They've 435 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: always had Bolden or Steve Smith or who was the 436 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: one before that. I mean they always a Mason. Yeah, yeah, 437 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: the old school that's going to the ball and in 438 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: third and five it's going to him, and everyone the 439 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: stadium knows it. They don't have that guy at all. 440 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: They don't have that guy. That guy doesn't want to 441 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: sign there and that guy's sign there. Would you would 442 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: have been that guy for them. He would have been 443 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: their version of Yeah because that guy once ten to 444 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: twelve targets every week. Yeah, because he deserves it, he 445 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: gets open. Yeah. So that that's that's an interesting part 446 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: of part of this offseason as well. But uh uh yeah, 447 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: just an interesting day around the NFL with all the 448 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: moving and shaking that's going on here. And in case 449 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,239 Speaker 1: people haven't heard, four nat is now at BOK. I've 450 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: been getting a lot of that questions should he he 451 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: was good for I don't think that was. But the 452 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: other I did want to touch on this real quickly. 453 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: The last two days, we've seen the Jets signed Matt Brida, 454 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: we've seen for Nette signed with Tampa. Didn't Tevin Coleman 455 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: go somewhere too. Yeah. I think Tevin Coleman. I can't 456 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: remember where he signed, but you're seeing maybe he's you know, oh, 457 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: that's right, the Bill signed Breeda. So some of these 458 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: teams that that we've been mocking perhaps are running back 459 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: to in the first round or even first Tampa's not 460 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: taking your running back. I don't know that Breeda moves 461 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: the mark. But now they have three. Now they've got 462 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: three NFL backs. I don't think they take one in 463 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: around one. Yeah, I think they wait, maybe even in 464 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: round three or four. I wonder if teams are looking 465 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: at this running back draft class and going, Okay, this 466 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: isn't great, we better sign one of these older guys 467 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: at least isn't sure as a placeholder here. And the 468 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: Jets have a lot of other needs. I mean, I'm 469 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: sure Tevin Coleman is on, and if they love Nag Harris, 470 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: they're not like we got Tevin Coleman where set. Yeah, 471 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: the other two I don't think are in the market anymore. Yeah. 472 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: I think I think Tampa Bay, Like when when we've 473 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: done our mock drafts, Tampa Bay is one of the 474 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: teams that wants to move up, and they pretty much 475 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: they take a t N or something like that. That's 476 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: not happening that or if the Steelers have moved to 477 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: twenty four to thirty five. You know, the Tampa is 478 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: not one you have to worry about. And you know what, 479 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't know that Atlanta is anymore either. Mike Davis 480 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: is good. Yeah, they have so many other needs. They're 481 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: not gonna take one at four. We know that they 482 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: could take one in the second round, but their defense 483 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: is a mess. You know, they could trade out of 484 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: four and end up with the wat of picks and 485 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: end up taking them back. Yeah, yeah, I think you 486 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: know this is again We're a month out from the 487 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: draft and we've seen two major moves here that never happened. 488 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: That means the Niners know, yeah, you know what I mean, 489 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: and the league knows who's going the first two picks. 490 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: I think that was made clear to us today.
