Speaker 1: It is Thursday, April eight. This is Jack Bars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours presented by Duval Motor Group. And now
Speaker 1: a guy who just doesn't need another green jacket, j Peace,
Speaker 1: look a bit, It's Jaguars Happy Hour. I'm J P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff logaming alongside today we've got pointed to get to.
Speaker 1: Coming up on the program, a Trevor update. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: what's the latest with the what we think will be
Speaker 1: the future Jaguars quarterback? And where is he today? All
Speaker 1: that coming up? Calm before the storm, it feels like
Speaker 1: right now, at least outside the Jags building a lot
Speaker 1: going on inside final preparations. With three weeks now until
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft lives, and I will pick our free
Speaker 1: agency favorites from the first couple of waves of free agency,
Speaker 1: and we'll go around the National Football League. Plenty of
Speaker 1: news with a trade of a quarterback. And then a
Speaker 1: lot happening down in Houston these days as well, and
Speaker 1: a lot happening this afternoon. Logs. First off, good afternoon,
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Great to see it's a Thursday all day
Speaker 1: and I just found out that it's Masters week. It's
Speaker 1: a tradition unlike any other walks forgetting what day the
Speaker 1: Masters is that mat or what? I don't know, but
Speaker 1: there was an announcement earlier today. The Jaguars announced that
Speaker 1: they will have a draft party the Travel Camp r
Speaker 1: V Duval Draft Thursday at PM. So here we go.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be in the stadium, socially distanced. If you're
Speaker 1: a season ticket member, you can register now and it
Speaker 1: opens to fans who are not season ticket members on
Speaker 1: April fifteen. For whatever's remaining. It could be, could be? Could?
Speaker 1: I think that's cool. Look, I think we're we're all
Speaker 1: starting to get moving towards a little bit more normalcy
Speaker 1: and having those type of events. So it's just I mean,
Speaker 1: it's kind of glad to hear that, you know. And
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, this week I went to I went
Speaker 1: to the Clay County Fair. I wouldn't even have thought
Speaker 1: about doing that this time last year. Okay, we're talking
Speaker 1: fair food here. What did you did you handle in
Speaker 1: the fair food? First of all, most Mr Jerry Stalvie
Speaker 1: cooks at the fair every year. Okay, and JP, as
Speaker 1: you know, okay, fried chicken ribs um uh? What else?
Speaker 1: Did I have? Pork? Chop. Yeah, I had French fries, coleslaw,
Speaker 1: sweet tea. I think that's all I had. You didn't
Speaker 1: have any fried butter or deep FRIEDA No, No, I'm
Speaker 1: not a fair funnel guy. You know where you get
Speaker 1: the funnel cakes and cotton candy and uh uh candied apples.
Speaker 1: I mean that's not me. Do you ride the rides too?
Speaker 1: I did? I did, and I actually I actually talked
Speaker 1: my daughter into doing the ride where you get you
Speaker 1: get taken up. She's ten, and you get taken up
Speaker 1: and then it feels like the bottom drops and you
Speaker 1: fall and then it catches. Okay, which I mean that's
Speaker 1: for a ten year old girl, that's a big deal, right,
Speaker 1: for thirty nine year old that's a big deal. Well,
Speaker 1: I talked to her and doing it, she loved it.
Speaker 1: The one thing that she wouldn't do that I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do either, which is this uh space thing. It's big
Speaker 1: long arms and you spin around in circles. The whole time,
Speaker 1: I was just envisioning myself seeing and tasting the fried
Speaker 1: chicken a second time, and I said, no, I bet
Speaker 1: her not read to get off this thing. Well let's
Speaker 1: but anyway, I was saying it's nice to get back
Speaker 1: to a little normalcy. And you know, here comes the
Speaker 1: draft and we're having a draft party because the Jacks
Speaker 1: have the number one pitch JP. Did you hear? We
Speaker 1: won't have the tilted world or the Ferris Wheel or
Speaker 1: any that stuff for the draft party, but there will
Speaker 1: be the first overall pick. And that's pretty cool, right,
Speaker 1: That's the heck of a rod, I think. I think,
Speaker 1: I think it's really exciting and I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: the draft as a whole because I think this the
Speaker 1: top of the draft maybe has more intrigue and than
Speaker 1: many any draft in recent years. I mean, think about yeah,
Speaker 1: and could be. You know, I think Daniel Jeremiah had
Speaker 1: five of the top seven picks going as quarterbacks this year.
Speaker 1: Could be, could very well be. And it just goes
Speaker 1: to show you the importance of quarterback. And then you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna get to this. You got the Sam
Speaker 1: Donald trade that happened this week. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: goes to show you the importance of the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: And it sure is nice to have the cat's bird
Speaker 1: seat and sit there and say, yep, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: exactly who we want and that's Trevor Lawrence. Well, let's
Speaker 1: get to the latest on Trevor Lawrence. An update from
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport of NFL Network this morning on Twitter right there. Well, well,
Speaker 1: he's also in Augusta today, by the way, he's been
Speaker 1: shown on television, but he is not going to Indianapolis
Speaker 1: where they're having the medical second visits for prospects. Uh. Well,
Speaker 1: he was getting married this weekend and by the way,
Speaker 1: he's at Augusta National today. But Rappaport also said that
Speaker 1: he obviously had surgery back in mid February. He has
Speaker 1: been throwing over the course of the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: He's not yet, but workouts are starting to look and
Speaker 1: feel normal and he's turned the corner health wise and
Speaker 1: all good signs. So that is good news. You know.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Most of the guys that are going
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis for a what this time of year would
Speaker 1: be considered the second check because the combine had happened
Speaker 1: in under normal years. Okay, Um, they're going back this
Speaker 1: time of year typically to get a re check because
Speaker 1: they're not there's a question mark about their health and
Speaker 1: there's a question about which team is going to be
Speaker 1: able to get there's one person in this draft to
Speaker 1: where he knows where he's going for the most part.
Speaker 1: And obviously, uh irvan Meyer alluded to that fact. He said,
Speaker 1: where we're leading in that direction, and that's a nice
Speaker 1: way of saying, well, the league has told us that
Speaker 1: we can't reveal our pick, but yeah, we're leading in
Speaker 1: that direction. And so I am sure I wouldn't bet
Speaker 1: everything on this, but the Jaguars lead medical guy, Dr.
Speaker 1: Kevin Kaplan, who's amazing by the way, he's fixed both
Speaker 1: my shoulders because of Jeff Lockman, there's no doubt, right,
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that Dr Kaplan has been in constant
Speaker 1: contact with whoever did the surgery on Trevor Lawrence and
Speaker 1: has gotten updates and everything else. And so, uh, it's
Speaker 1: not as if Trevor Lawrence needs to go back to
Speaker 1: Indianapolis to be able to have all the other league's
Speaker 1: doctors or have a couple of doctors to be able
Speaker 1: to take a look at him and then disseminate that
Speaker 1: information to all the teams in the league. It's not required.
Speaker 1: There's only one team that needs to know where he's
Speaker 1: at right now, and that's that's the Jaguars and it's
Speaker 1: obviously reports were all favorable as you would expect. Kaplan
Speaker 1: has the Jeff Loggingman Room, the Marquise Lee Room also
Speaker 1: is a lot of people, a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of guest space. I'm gonna start, I'm gonna actually start
Speaker 1: working for him on a percentage basis because of so
Speaker 1: many referrals I've been sending him. I think it's only
Speaker 1: fair that he starts throwing me a commission. See, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could get into businesses. Why should I should be
Speaker 1: as his agent? You're not taking a percentage off the
Speaker 1: time to be good. If you're looking for a way

Speaker 1: Let's move down to Urban Meyer making the rounds. Of course,
Speaker 1: he was at the Ohio State in Florida pro days.
Speaker 1: He was notably not at the b y U Pro
Speaker 1: Day that was well publicized, but you know former coach
Speaker 1: at both of those places, going back around that made
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Well, Urban Meyer also made a
Speaker 1: cameo appearance last night on All Elite Wrestling. There was
Speaker 1: not a speaking role, but he was photographed with the champ,
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson, who apparently has a beef with Jericho these days.
Speaker 1: I don't know which side Urban is on, but that's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's his first appearance at All Elite Wrestling. Of course
Speaker 1: that's run and owned by Tony Kahn. And uh, he's
Speaker 1: making the rounds. He did that last night. Uh. The
Speaker 1: other day, he goes to the Duval County School Board
Speaker 1: meeting and honored Dr. Diana Green for being named Superintendent
Speaker 1: of the Year by the Florida Association of District School Superintendence.
Speaker 1: Gave her a pair of custom cleats with the school
Speaker 1: board logo on the side and her name on the top,
Speaker 1: a certificate of recognition, a bunch of photographs, and all
Speaker 1: that was on Twitter. So Urban is starting to get
Speaker 1: out in a bout a little more in the community,
Speaker 1: and I think we're just gonna see more of this
Speaker 1: as the spring and summer goes along. Sure, up to
Speaker 1: a point, he's got a job to do, okay, So
Speaker 1: he's not He's not going to be the Uh. The
Speaker 1: Jaguars chairman of the community. Okay, he's a head coach,
Speaker 1: and he's got a coach football. Hopefully we have in person,
Speaker 1: an in person off season for the NFL as a whole.
Speaker 1: I hope you know, because last year when when we
Speaker 1: were here about this time of year, and we were
Speaker 1: talking about what things we weren't here, actually we were
Speaker 1: home at home, okay, and what we were talking and
Speaker 1: we were talking and I made the point and you
Speaker 1: obviously agreed with me on this and that for a
Speaker 1: football team like the Jaguars that is young and is
Speaker 1: going to get even younger in this upcoming draft, the
Speaker 1: importance of off season workouts is immense. And we knew
Speaker 1: that the team going in tow would be kind of
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball, so to speak, because they didn't
Speaker 1: have any kind of O t as, they didn't have
Speaker 1: any mini camps, and so we knew that, look, if
Speaker 1: you were ever gonna be more veteran, was the way
Speaker 1: you wanted to be more veteran, and the Jaguars weren't that. Well.
Speaker 1: In one the Jaguars have moved towards being more veteran
Speaker 1: with the free agent signings that they've had, but they
Speaker 1: also are going to be incredibly young again because you
Speaker 1: have a very young team to begin with. That you
Speaker 1: added some veteran players to that mixing free agency. But
Speaker 1: then here you are looking at a draft class that
Speaker 1: could be another very big draft class unless they trade
Speaker 1: some picks away or future picks, which I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of by the way, you mentioned that last week,
Speaker 1: but they currently have ten draft picks this year. They
Speaker 1: made that trade away, I would love to see them
Speaker 1: end up somewhere right around eight seven or eight you
Speaker 1: know where they trade to maybe three away for future picks. Um,
Speaker 1: why not? Uh? And get your quarterback in place? And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big fan of any kind of
Speaker 1: a middle round pick. If you can trade that for
Speaker 1: a future pick, and I'm talking third and fourth round picks.
Speaker 1: If you can trade that away and move up around
Speaker 1: maybe a round and a half with those picks, I
Speaker 1: think you'd be crazy not to do that. You know,
Speaker 1: if you have a guy that you feel I can
Speaker 1: be a solid contributor, that's right there for you, go
Speaker 1: ahead and pick it right. Well, yeah, but JP, I
Speaker 1: mean lenders sitting there and staring in the face. And
Speaker 1: round three here here here's the issue. How many how
Speaker 1: many Brandon Brandon lenders. Have you had one right? Okay?
Speaker 1: So my my point is is that, look, the first
Speaker 1: round pick is not a sure thing. It's a coin flip,
Speaker 1: it is. It's basically the first round is about fifty fifty.
Speaker 1: The second round the percentages drop. And and I haven't
Speaker 1: I'd love to. And I'm sure that because Tony Khan
Speaker 1: is really big into the numbers thing and uh and
Speaker 1: and he's a big fan of that. But I mean,
Speaker 1: because the reality is is that every round that you
Speaker 1: go down, so that the farther you go back in
Speaker 1: the draft, the less likelihood that that player or that
Speaker 1: pick is gonna be a successful player in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. So the way that you combat that roll
Speaker 1: of the dice, so to speak, is that you increase
Speaker 1: the number of picks. Then your chance of success, if
Speaker 1: you're a good picker, okay, is likely to go up.
Speaker 1: If you stink, then you're you still stink. I mean,
Speaker 1: You're not. Your percentages aren't going up. He's just gonna
Speaker 1: get more bad players. And we saw some of that
Speaker 1: in the history of the Jaguar. So you've got to
Speaker 1: increase your chances for success. And by doing that, that's
Speaker 1: increasing the likelihood of picking one of success, and that's
Speaker 1: by increasing the picks. If you can't, logs will get
Speaker 1: plenty ahead. We'll come back with the final weeks of
Speaker 1: preparation leading into the NFL Draft. What's happening right now
Speaker 1: inside t i A bank field is the Jaguars Braskets Ready.
Speaker 1: A little later, we'll pick our free agency favorites, will
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League. We're off and running.

Speaker 1: few years ago you did a video series on Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot com of like football fundamental practice, fundamental things. Remember
Speaker 1: that what was that called? Remember that I don't remember
Speaker 1: exactly what it was called. It was like training camp
Speaker 1: time you were out there. What is this drought house.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little older now, so I'm gonna use you, JP. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as uh as the the example center. I'll just be
Speaker 1: like a coach and hey, JP, getting that stand Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: we we did that a couple of years ago where
Speaker 1: we were showing kind of positional drills and training and
Speaker 1: uh and it was fun and uh it definitely it
Speaker 1: definitely taxed my body just doing some of those things. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for volunteers and JP has already raised
Speaker 1: his hand for me when we talked about that, and
Speaker 1: gonna get Dave to Candice also, he's gonna volunteer. Max
Speaker 1: is also gonna be out there, and so that my
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, Reaber is gonna be Yeah. I got I
Speaker 1: got a team. I got a team. More we need
Speaker 1: we need one more for the five man sled though.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna. I don't know what's gonna.
Speaker 1: I won't be doing those kind of videos anymore, JP,
Speaker 1: where I will be demonstrating the drills. Yeah, I'm done
Speaker 1: with that. We've got three weeks until the NFL Draft
Speaker 1: looking forward to it three weeks from tonight in fact
Speaker 1: round what let me ask you this, what's the first
Speaker 1: draft that you remember. That's a great question because I
Speaker 1: think everybody has as an experience, um of remembering their
Speaker 1: first draft. And I mean, obviously I had an experience
Speaker 1: with the draft as a college player, sood most every week, Yes,
Speaker 1: during the season. Um, that's a good one because it
Speaker 1: was always televised, But it wasn't a big, great deal
Speaker 1: for a long time until right around two thousand, right,
Speaker 1: it's kind of when it became this phenomenon at night
Speaker 1: with the red carpet and the whole thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: probably the year, the year um Aaron Rodgers slide a
Speaker 1: lot of people remember and just seeing him in the
Speaker 1: green room like like he just ate a peach pit,
Speaker 1: you know, and he did. He did. I thought he
Speaker 1: did a marvelous job of of handling it, right. But
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough slide, you know, that was
Speaker 1: one that the ones before that I was too young
Speaker 1: for the big quarterback draft in the eighties, you know. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's probably the one that you just put me on
Speaker 1: the spot. So no, it's I mean, it's because it's
Speaker 1: an interesting thing because I think most people, I mean,
Speaker 1: when you think back on what's the first draft that
Speaker 1: you remember, most people are would be like you and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I mean, most of the
Speaker 1: stuff has been kind of recent because it is I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a recent phenomen phenomenon and towards become
Speaker 1: must watch primetime television nowadays. It's funny, like the different
Speaker 1: sports approach to their drafts, right Baseball is trying to
Speaker 1: do something similar to this. They can't know, but it's
Speaker 1: because well the problem with baseball is that the prospects
Speaker 1: that they're drafting aren't known to people and their college
Speaker 1: kid they're still playing at that time. So there's college
Speaker 1: guys playing in football too. But my point is a
Speaker 1: college football people know college football players that are really good.
Speaker 1: People know who Trevor Lawrence is, okay, and they know
Speaker 1: very well who Trevor Lawrence is. They may not know
Speaker 1: the picture from Stanford who goes first overall that throws
Speaker 1: a hundred and five. And by the way, there's fifty
Speaker 1: rounds of the baseball draft, like you know, half the
Speaker 1: guys are gonna come anyway. Basketball, it's kind of a
Speaker 1: that's become a big that's a good good watch because
Speaker 1: they've got the lottery. I'm watching the superstar at Duke,
Speaker 1: you know, or North Carolina or Gonzaga nowadays, or Baylor nowadays.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know what I mean. So you
Speaker 1: have an idea who these people are, and so there's
Speaker 1: gotta be some familiarity with it to really kind of
Speaker 1: follow it. And that's the I think the beauty of
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft is they've done an amazing job. And
Speaker 1: obviously college football is big and so uh. But the
Speaker 1: draft process as a whole, I know, for being a
Speaker 1: prospect is is a little different than when I went
Speaker 1: through it, because now nowadays the top prospects have an
Speaker 1: invitation to go to the draft itself. So I'll say
Speaker 1: even the process leading out, like the whole pre draft process,
Speaker 1: is totally different when you are around the traveling to
Speaker 1: teams to visit all these different to the interviews and workouts.
Speaker 1: We had to workout all that stuff. We had the
Speaker 1: combine when I was there. We had individual workouts, but
Speaker 1: there wasn't like at other bigger schools. There was big
Speaker 1: workouts when I was in college, but at Virginia like,
Speaker 1: we didn't have a ton of talking. We went to
Speaker 1: the Birmingham, but we didn't have our pro day. Okay,
Speaker 1: I remember the Cowboys were because when I graduated front
Speaker 1: we're not. When I graduated. After the college football season,
Speaker 1: I went to the East West Shrine Game. I went
Speaker 1: to to college all star games the Blue Gray and
Speaker 1: Montgomery and Alabama, which was not a great all star
Speaker 1: game to go to, but it was competition nonetheless, Christmas
Speaker 1: Day it was. And then I went to the East
Speaker 1: West Shrine Game and it was interesting. In the East
Speaker 1: West Shrine Game, I was obviously on the East and
Speaker 1: our coaches were Mike Godfrey was the head coach at
Speaker 1: pitt from Mobile, and then our assistant coach was the
Speaker 1: head coach of the University of Miami, which was jim Johnson.
Speaker 1: Which right after that, Jimmy takes the job because Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones buys the Cowboys, Jimmy takes the job to run
Speaker 1: to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Well,
Speaker 1: Jimmy had coached me in the East West Shrine Game,
Speaker 1: so and had a great time with Jimmy there. He
Speaker 1: was awesome coach to to work with and he liked
Speaker 1: me and he wanted to pick me in round two.
Speaker 1: He told me that just after the fact, I had
Speaker 1: worked out for their pro personnel guy, their linebackers coach,
Speaker 1: and then Dave Wonstead who was their defensive courting and
Speaker 1: I had like three different workouts just for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: And so that's what you did back then, you had
Speaker 1: multiple workouts. If somebody came in and said, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I get a call from the football office at UVA
Speaker 1: and said, hey, Jeff so and so is here from
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and wants to know if you can
Speaker 1: work out this afternoon. Yeah, sure, I'll be by so yeah. So,
Speaker 1: I mean it was one of those things where you
Speaker 1: worked out. Basically you were on call to work out
Speaker 1: wheneverything would come there. You wouldn't fly. Now, we never
Speaker 1: flew to any other facility. We had uh didn't really
Speaker 1: have phone calls so much as it was in person
Speaker 1: conversations what they came in, but no traveling to a
Speaker 1: team facility. Uh. So it was a little different. But
Speaker 1: leading up to the draft, I mean, I just remember
Speaker 1: the only thing you were thinking of is it don't
Speaker 1: do anything stupid, Okay, don't step in a hole and
Speaker 1: blow a knee, don't ride a horse and hurt your shoulder,
Speaker 1: your back, don't climb a tree and then you know,
Speaker 1: tear something in your arm. I mean, just you know,
Speaker 1: you were trying to be this after the draft. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, you know that draft, yeah, once you got
Speaker 1: the contract. But no, it was it was fun. It
Speaker 1: was fun, fun leading up to the draft, but it
Speaker 1: was I can tell you this JP. It had. It
Speaker 1: did have some anxiety, is from a player standpoint, because
Speaker 1: you're you're getting ready to venture into something that you
Speaker 1: have no control over. Yeah, and it's the rest of
Speaker 1: your life ahead of you too. Literally, it is somebody
Speaker 1: is making the decision on where your life's course is going.
Speaker 1: And so that's a little unnerving. You know, when I
Speaker 1: was leading up the draft and I just remember thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, just don't send me to some big, giant
Speaker 1: city somewhere. To send me to a light a Midwestern city,
Speaker 1: a smaller city, the Big Apple. It didn't go as
Speaker 1: planned it but it turned out good. Nonetheless. Three weeks
Speaker 1: away now, so I'm curious and i'd love to hear
Speaker 1: what Trent Baukee would have to say about this. I
Speaker 1: think we'll probably hear from him before draft night. But
Speaker 1: you know, at what point do you put a cover
Speaker 1: on the draft board and quit changing order? And you've
Speaker 1: already done that, You've already done Yeah. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: the last thing in the world that you want to do,
Speaker 1: especially when you're when you're a couple of weeks away
Speaker 1: from the draft, is you don't want to be swayed
Speaker 1: by the rumor mills that's going to be turning throughout. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's the last couple of weeks leading up to
Speaker 1: the draft. There's all kinds of things that end up
Speaker 1: getting reported, just like the fields of quarterback is the
Speaker 1: last one in and the first one to leave. That
Speaker 1: information that went out from Dan Orlovski, who is a
Speaker 1: former NFL player who should know better than that. But um,
Speaker 1: I mean that was unfortunate. But I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: not like this is something that is crazy and hasn't
Speaker 1: happened in the past. I mean this, this has happened
Speaker 1: for years and uh so that's why I say the
Speaker 1: cover is already pretty much done. Typically, personnel departments have
Speaker 1: their mock drafts and like about a month prior to
Speaker 1: or or three weeks prior to, uh and most of
Speaker 1: those mock drafts are have already happened. Some of them
Speaker 1: might still be happening, but for the most part, they've
Speaker 1: got their board stacked and they're not going to change
Speaker 1: their board in the last couple of weeks. The only
Speaker 1: thing that would change they're there board the way it
Speaker 1: stacked from now until the draft is that if something
Speaker 1: unfortunate happens to the player, like he falls out of
Speaker 1: a tree and falls off the horse, or some type
Speaker 1: of second medical opinion, something comes out of Indie this week,
Speaker 1: that that is factual. Nothing will change the status of
Speaker 1: the players based on or what somebody else is saying,
Speaker 1: or if Joe uh NFL reporter is tweeting that so
Speaker 1: and so teams don't like this guy anymore because of this,
Speaker 1: or they like this guy he's climbing. That doesn't. That shouldn't,
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't, and it doesn't influence the majority of
Speaker 1: the draft boards, the ones that are quality in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. So the work is done. Hand is
Speaker 1: in the barn, so to speak, and now is uh
Speaker 1: is the time though, to where some preliminary phone calls
Speaker 1: are being made to jockey for a draft position. And
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about active trades. I mean, there could
Speaker 1: be an active trade. Look what happened with San Francisco
Speaker 1: going up to third overall could happen. But I think
Speaker 1: what a lot of teams are doing right now because
Speaker 1: they have a feel for wanting to be in certain
Speaker 1: places where they think they need to be to get
Speaker 1: certain players. So if their draft position currently, they're not
Speaker 1: comfortable where they're at, they feel like they need to
Speaker 1: make a move, whether that be up or whether that
Speaker 1: be down. They're starting to do right now, the preliminary
Speaker 1: work contacting other teams that Hey, what would you think
Speaker 1: if let's say I'm Trent Balking and I'm calling up
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, Hey, what would you think about? You know,
Speaker 1: I've got this pick and round two and I was
Speaker 1: thinking about moving up, and you're up and are moving
Speaker 1: down because ously in front of we're thinking about dropping
Speaker 1: back a little bit, you know, and uh and and
Speaker 1: maybe picking up a third or fourth round pick. Are
Speaker 1: you know, are you interested? And something? Some of those
Speaker 1: are the kind of things that I think are happening
Speaker 1: right now. So when you're on the clock, you know
Speaker 1: who to call and and who may be a willing
Speaker 1: partner to work a trade out. Hey, we talked about
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago. You guys. Still he's
Speaker 1: still interested, and you know, you know, we we had
Speaker 1: that conversation, you know, and I felt I told you that, Look,
Speaker 1: I was happy about getting, you know, maybe a fifth
Speaker 1: round pick. If you don't think I'll back off, I'll
Speaker 1: take a six if you're if you're willing to do
Speaker 1: the deal. I mean those kind of things. I mean,
Speaker 1: so because you want to, you want to end up
Speaker 1: having relationships and Trump Balky has been around the NFL
Speaker 1: long enough to know that some of those relationships are
Speaker 1: still there, even though he hasn't been on a general
Speaker 1: man during a number of years. And I'm sure that
Speaker 1: he's refreshed a lot of those relationships over the last
Speaker 1: four or five months or whatever it's been. He does
Speaker 1: have a history, by the way of moving around in
Speaker 1: drafts and making moves on draft Day and trades and
Speaker 1: all that. So he has on this a time or two.
Speaker 1: We've got plenty to come. We're about halfway home on

Speaker 1: Three weeks away from the draft, where a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks removed from the start of well about three weeks
Speaker 1: after the start of free agency, and that we're going
Speaker 1: to review our free agency favorites from what was a
Speaker 1: very large free agency class that came in here this year,
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces coming around. So logs, let's
Speaker 1: review who is your free agency favorites? Weeks want you
Speaker 1: to go, Yeah, I want you to start. Okay, Well
Speaker 1: I'll start that. You start, well, you know probably what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with the number one overall pick right, You think, yeah,
Speaker 1: you need a certain direction. They're leaning that way. That's
Speaker 1: the direction they're leaning. So you need some weapons on offense,
Speaker 1: some more of that consistent weapons. You need a salty vet,
Speaker 1: if you will, somebody to kind of lead the troops
Speaker 1: and get to get some certain position groups ready to go.
Speaker 1: So I love Marvin Jones, veteran, been in this league
Speaker 1: now it will be his tenth year coming up. He's
Speaker 1: played at a high level very recently and including the
Speaker 1: last two years under Darryl Bevil's offense in Detroit. Um,
Speaker 1: he's great off the field. UM, A good family guy
Speaker 1: and all that. And you know, he's got a group
Speaker 1: of young receivers around him now that I think will
Speaker 1: follow his leading a lot of ways. And that's the
Speaker 1: veteran presence they needed, I think to go with Chark
Speaker 1: and Levis Chenault and uh Colin Johnson and those guys
Speaker 1: all good guys anyway, but you put a guy like
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones in that environment with them, Okay, let's go. Well,
Speaker 1: you want you want everybody in the environment to be good.
Speaker 1: I mean, and here's the thing, all those things you said,
Speaker 1: you know, good family guy, and look that for me,
Speaker 1: that stuff doesn't matter if the guy can play football
Speaker 1: and play it well and he's consistent and he's good
Speaker 1: in the locker room. That's Those are the qualities that
Speaker 1: are always the first and foremost as far as trying
Speaker 1: to get a guy, and Marvin Jones has been extremely productive.
Speaker 1: He's been available, he's been consistent, and that's exactly what
Speaker 1: you need. And he knows the system. So here you go.
Speaker 1: Now you're bringing in a guy who's carrying the message
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff, which I talked about the importance
Speaker 1: of bringing in leadership to help the new staff out. Well,
Speaker 1: he's been in the offense, he knows the offense, and
Speaker 1: he's a veteran guy that has leadership qualities. All positive,
Speaker 1: But for me, I went to the other side of
Speaker 1: the ball because the other side of the ball is
Speaker 1: also gonna need a ton of work. They need that
Speaker 1: They needed a lot of work, a ton of work,
Speaker 1: and we know that they have a huge need upfront.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna help make the guys up front better,
Speaker 1: if you can add a little bit to the secondary
Speaker 1: and maybe cover a guy a little bit longer, then
Speaker 1: you have the ability to maybe get the quarterback down
Speaker 1: and shot. Griffin for me is my guy as far
Speaker 1: as my favorite and and number one. He comes from
Speaker 1: a program that knows what winning is about. He is
Speaker 1: a winner himself. He's a damn good football player. And
Speaker 1: in free agency typically you're not finding a lot of value,
Speaker 1: which what I mean by value, and that's the term
Speaker 1: that Trent Balky likes to use for guys that Okay,
Speaker 1: if we're paying him a million, we're actually getting two
Speaker 1: million in production. Well, on free agency you pay more
Speaker 1: probably than what you're actually receiving, but that's okay, that's
Speaker 1: the what you pay in free agency. Sometimes when you
Speaker 1: pay a lot of money in free agency, it tells
Speaker 1: you the quality of the player. He is a Chack
Speaker 1: Griffin is a good football player, and he's gonna help
Speaker 1: this defense out. And I'm gonna tell you another reason
Speaker 1: why it's important. There's a big question mark with last
Speaker 1: year's first round pick quarterback. Can he be a guy?
Speaker 1: Can he be the guy? And right now, if you
Speaker 1: have a veteran guy who's proven to be a really
Speaker 1: good football player to help your secondary out, that's all positive.
Speaker 1: And I would probably put JP if if I had
Speaker 1: to go. And this isn't in the same category because
Speaker 1: it wasn't a true free agent acquisition. But Malcolm Brown
Speaker 1: of the New Orleans sent formerly of the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: This was a trade that the Jaguars executed, and then
Speaker 1: he gave up very little to get him because the
Speaker 1: New Orlean Saints were gonna have to part ways with
Speaker 1: him anyway because of salary cap reasons. This defense needed
Speaker 1: so much this offseason and they really needed big bodies
Speaker 1: up in the middle, and Malcolm Brown is gonna be that.
Speaker 1: It's gonna make this team better. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you there's two linebackers that are gonna absolutely love Malcolm Brown. Okay,
Speaker 1: two linebackers that depend on that big body right there,
Speaker 1: number ninety Okay that we're looking at. They're gonna depend
Speaker 1: on him to make sure that the blockers stay off
Speaker 1: of them. And so I think that's also another big,
Speaker 1: huge because what I mean big, I mean big for
Speaker 1: the team and also big, really really big. And a
Speaker 1: guy again who's been on winning teams about coming here.
Speaker 1: He's fired up here Saints. They know what they're they're
Speaker 1: doing down there too, and then here we go. He's
Speaker 1: coming to a team that is on the mend, on
Speaker 1: the rebuild, if you will, and he's excited for what
Speaker 1: this team can be. So those are some of the
Speaker 1: our favorites acquisition. I'm with you on Malcolm Brown. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a good player. A little disappointing
Speaker 1: that the Tyson A la Wallah thing fell through, But
Speaker 1: but I said this before and and I think most
Speaker 1: people that have have had a chance to get to
Speaker 1: know Tyson a la Walla when he spent time here
Speaker 1: totally understand it. Look, I mean family issues and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, because you always want what's best for certain players.
Speaker 1: In some cases, you always want what's best for your team.
Speaker 1: But U, I'm happy for Tyson if staying in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: makes him happy. He's such a high quality guy. More
Speaker 1: power to him. More power to him. And but here's
Speaker 1: the thing. The Jaguars need to find somebody that's that's
Speaker 1: young and ascending and that can rush the passer from
Speaker 1: the inside. That's gonna be I think one of the
Speaker 1: priorities in this draft that they find pass rush help
Speaker 1: inside and uh. And there's some good prospects in this
Speaker 1: draft class, so they should be able to fill that
Speaker 1: need in the draft at some point. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of needs. Still, Look, this team has a look for me.
Speaker 1: When you end up one in fifteen in the first
Speaker 1: overall pick of the draft is in your hand. That's
Speaker 1: telling you you've got a lot of you got a
Speaker 1: lot of needs. By the way, Griffin's contracts in three years,
Speaker 1: million with million guaranteed a lot of money. But that's
Speaker 1: that's the way it is in free agency, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, that's it. That's what what happens. If
Speaker 1: you draft better, Okay, then you end up having that
Speaker 1: issued where you start losing guys in free agency because
Speaker 1: of that reason. They're getting offered a lot of money
Speaker 1: and you can't afford to keep all these high quality
Speaker 1: players that you're drafting. This team hasn't had that problem lately. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what this team. That's the problem that this team
Speaker 1: needs in the future is trying to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to retain good football players that are good football players,
Speaker 1: that are good team players and that you want to
Speaker 1: keep around. And they haven't had that issue much around
Speaker 1: here lately. Jack's did sign this past week a linebacker,
Speaker 1: Damien Wilson from the Chiefs, kind of a depth player.
Speaker 1: Been in the last two Super Bowl teams four years
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys before that. I had ten tackles in
Speaker 1: this past Super Bowl and um We'll see what kind
Speaker 1: of role he plays here a guy who has again
Speaker 1: been in any winning organization. We'll see what kind of
Speaker 1: contributions Joe Collin has in mind from got to be
Speaker 1: a good football player. First, now, I mean, before you
Speaker 1: start talking about all those other things. You know, the
Speaker 1: first check of the first box that you need to check.
Speaker 1: Can you play? Can you play ball? Okay? Then you
Speaker 1: start worrying about the other things. So okay, what roles
Speaker 1: he gonna fill? Is he a good guy? The first
Speaker 1: box has got to be checked before you move on
Speaker 1: to the next one. You play, can you play? Let's
Speaker 1: come back in a moment. We'll go around the National

Speaker 1: the seats, so the clocks ticket here we go. That
Speaker 1: means the seasons right around the corner to I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to finding out when the league is going to
Speaker 1: make a determination on how the off season gonna is
Speaker 1: gonna progress. Yeah, I mean that's kind of still out there, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, they know that everybody's gonna have Phase one
Speaker 1: start at the same time and about a week or
Speaker 1: so from now, Yeah, maybe next Monday. I had mentioned
Speaker 1: early in the off season that I thought that they
Speaker 1: should not even try to do what is normal, which
Speaker 1: would have been the fourteen organized team activities and then
Speaker 1: having a mini camp, and that they should have just
Speaker 1: immediately started to trying to prepare and move in the
Speaker 1: direction of having a condensed one all. So, in other words,
Speaker 1: you bring everybody together for what is a week or
Speaker 1: ten days, and then don't even think about doing Phase one,
Speaker 1: Phase two, Phase three, and um. Because if you can
Speaker 1: bring everybody together for one window, then you can institute
Speaker 1: the testing and you can make things a little bit
Speaker 1: easier to handle. And if you we're targeting for that,
Speaker 1: I think it would have been easier to prepare for
Speaker 1: one thing instead of kind of sitting back going, Okay,
Speaker 1: how are we going to try to implement Phase two?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna be able to do it. Obviously, a
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with the negotiation process
Speaker 1: with the players union, but it would have been I
Speaker 1: think they and I hope they're doing this, So maybe
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know that they would be pushing
Speaker 1: towards having kind of one thing, and that's after the
Speaker 1: draft sometime in June, have a gathering of their teams
Speaker 1: and make it a week or two weeks or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, and then just get people together and then
Speaker 1: then then start preparing for training candles see you in
Speaker 1: a month for training camp, right kind of deal. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League and there was a
Speaker 1: trade in the league this week involving a notable quarterback,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald traded to the Panthers for draft picks. The
Speaker 1: question now is what happens to Teddy Bridgewater, who's with
Speaker 1: the Panthers, and apparently we're allowing him to seek a
Speaker 1: trade on his own. Multiple teams are interested, but he
Speaker 1: has a seventeen million dollar base salary next year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get seventeen million dollars. I don't think
Speaker 1: I would be very surprised if somebody trades for him
Speaker 1: and in seventeen million dollars for the most part. Excuse me.
Speaker 1: Everybody has their quarterback. Yeah, sure they do, whether it
Speaker 1: be you know, the anticipation of the draft or whatever.
Speaker 1: But you know, everybody's pretty much scared away. And uh,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that really lie Teddy Bridgewater.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that they like Teddy Bridgewater as
Speaker 1: they're starting quarterback. You can like somebody, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean you have to believe that he's going to be
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. I thought though that the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 1: which were in a tough position because they don't have
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback, they weren't gonna get one in the
Speaker 1: draft because their draft position was not high enough that
Speaker 1: I thought that this was an incredibly wise move. I
Speaker 1: think Sam Donald still has the potential of being a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, but I think that with Adam Gaze and
Speaker 1: a and a dysfunctional organization as the Jets have been recently,
Speaker 1: there was no chance any quarterback would have went in
Speaker 1: there and had great success. And so I think what
Speaker 1: they gave up for him is uh is is very
Speaker 1: small amount really when it comes to a guy who
Speaker 1: could be obviously could be as a stretch because he's
Speaker 1: there's some evidence that showing that he's not yet. But
Speaker 1: if he ends up being a franchise guy to care,
Speaker 1: Arolina Panthers have done a masterful job and now they've
Speaker 1: got a guy that they think has some upside and
Speaker 1: if he's developed and they have a very good coach
Speaker 1: in Carolina, then uh, look, he's got a chance. And
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be good for Sam Donald to get
Speaker 1: out of that New York environment and the scrutiny that
Speaker 1: that inessentially comes with it. He's still young, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty four on opening Day, very young. And
Speaker 1: now he and obviously last year he wasn't very healthy
Speaker 1: and it wasn't a very good football team for a
Speaker 1: lot of different reason reasons and there and the coaching
Speaker 1: situation that they had in New York. I still am
Speaker 1: baffled as to how the Jets and when you talk
Speaker 1: about dysfunction, you have a you have a coach, you
Speaker 1: didn't have success with the Miami Dolphins. And I don't
Speaker 1: have any personal grudge against Adam Gates, but I mean,
Speaker 1: how do you give a guy that kind of cred
Speaker 1: and another opportunity when he just had a job and
Speaker 1: he reports out of out of Miami, we're not good.
Speaker 1: And then but you're gonna hire him to be your
Speaker 1: head coach because he's an offensive guru. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: this kind of brings glad you kind of went this direction,
Speaker 1: because I saw a tweet today from at my sports
Speaker 1: Update right, just one of those accounts, and it said
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Dolphins have done essentially the same
Speaker 1: thing recently. They both fired Adam Gaze, they hired a
Speaker 1: defensive minded coach love by the players. They both traded
Speaker 1: a quarterback for draft capital. They've traded a safety for
Speaker 1: a first round pick. They're gonna draft a top quarter
Speaker 1: top five quarterback, and they both have double number ones
Speaker 1: and two draft picks the next year after all that happened.
Speaker 1: So it's the same blueprint that the Dolphins and Jets
Speaker 1: have done. That's pretty crazy. Yeah, And uh, and hopefully
Speaker 1: the direction because I like Robert sala I like him,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a good guy, and I hope the
Speaker 1: Jets are now headed in the right direction as a franchise,
Speaker 1: and is Miami headed in the right direction. I liked
Speaker 1: their coach, like the general manager, but exactly quarter bands
Speaker 1: if TA is the guy, because if he's not, you've
Speaker 1: just wasted four years of the franchise and maybe more.
Speaker 1: Just like the Jaguars when they drafted Blake Bortles and
Speaker 1: turned out he wasn't the guy, you end up wasting.
Speaker 1: What year was he drafted? The fourteen? Okay, so he's
Speaker 1: drafted in fourteen. You wasted six years, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: because you didn't draft, well, you didn't draft another quarterback
Speaker 1: when you got him. I mean, so you you passed
Speaker 1: up the opportunity to keep taking shots at a franchise guy.
Speaker 1: You know. So, um, that's what can happen if you
Speaker 1: don't get the guy. And even though the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: looked like their geniuses for getting all the pics that
Speaker 1: they did, it won't matter unless TWA turns out to
Speaker 1: be the guy. A lot of people ready to get
Speaker 1: him out of there already. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: people have given up on two after I get it,
Speaker 1: because you know, but the reaction league all of a sudden, well, look,
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought that r G three was
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback since sliced bread when he came out
Speaker 1: with Washington, and it didn't. It didn't have any lasting impact,
Speaker 1: and so obviously two was on the opposite side of that.
Speaker 1: You know, he's still Look, he came as his rookie year,
Speaker 1: he just finished it. He was coming off of the
Speaker 1: hip issue, which would have would have which would have
Speaker 1: prohibited me from taking him that high. But uh, I
Speaker 1: think he still has a chance of being a really
Speaker 1: good quarterback. The guy's got some Arromtown arm talent, and
Speaker 1: I think we'll see more of his athleticism this year,
Speaker 1: another year removed from having his hip fixed. And I hope, look,
Speaker 1: I hope he has great success. I like I like
Speaker 1: his approach, and I like he He's humble, and I
Speaker 1: think he's got great humility and I like those qualities
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks because you don't always see that. But I
Speaker 1: like him. I like him. I like the way he
Speaker 1: kind of rolls. Let's stay on the quarterback conversation, but
Speaker 1: head down to Houston, Texas, where things are busy Watson.
Speaker 1: These days, sponsors are starting to pull away from Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: Nike and Beats by Dre are both pulling away for
Speaker 1: the moment. Some of the people who have sued Watson
Speaker 1: spoke earlier this week. There's a League investigation underway under
Speaker 1: the Personal Conduct Policy that governs off field behavior involving
Speaker 1: players and coaches, and his attorney, Rusty Harden, filed a
Speaker 1: motion to strike a complaint filed by one of the
Speaker 1: twenty two accusers, asking for the case to be refiled
Speaker 1: in her real name. So there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of this moving forward, a lot of motions and filings
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But it is, you know here,
Speaker 1: it is, It's still there, and it's when the sponsors
Speaker 1: start going away that's really I mean, not that it's
Speaker 1: been a great turn already, but when the sponsors start
Speaker 1: turning away, that's when things can really go downhill quickly
Speaker 1: for the Sean. I'm a believer in innocence until proven guilty,
Speaker 1: and now that this has become a criminal matter, because
Speaker 1: you have now have a criminal complaint, the public opinion
Speaker 1: obviously will be swayed in a big direction because of
Speaker 1: the civil cases that we were filed. My biggest question
Speaker 1: is is that when all of a sudden you had
Speaker 1: all these people coming out one, you eventually got the
Speaker 1: twenty one. It might even be higher than that that
Speaker 1: that had civil complaints against the Shawn Watson and I
Speaker 1: remember exactly what the number was. Happened. Then when his
Speaker 1: attorney comes out and says that, look, we have we
Speaker 1: have statements from eighteen MASSUSUS that counter what these civil
Speaker 1: complaints that have been filed are saying. My first thought was,
Speaker 1: and I think it was, what twenty at the time
Speaker 1: or eighteen at the time, I'm going, who the hell
Speaker 1: has forty massage therapists? Really? I don't know, I don't know. Apparently,
Speaker 1: look forty, I mean that right, there is smoke billowing
Speaker 1: out or or or red flags, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it. And so in the in the court of
Speaker 1: public opinion, just a simple fact that his attorney found
Speaker 1: eighteen massage therapists that we're willing to say he was
Speaker 1: great with us. Da da da, da da. And then
Speaker 1: there's twenty one. On the other side of the fence.
Speaker 1: People are doing the math, going, forty some odd massage therapists? Really,
Speaker 1: I mean, most athletes might have on one hand, you'd
Speaker 1: count them four or five, I mean, and most of
Speaker 1: them have one or two, and it depends on the
Speaker 1: scheduling or the team, and then you know, you may
Speaker 1: have one or two, maybe three. But forty, now, how
Speaker 1: many massage therapists. Did you have with the Jets And
Speaker 1: let's say it didn't have one. It wasn't even a deal.
Speaker 1: I didn't have one. Yeah, I mean we didn't have one.
Speaker 1: Sports performance has changed, Yeah, we we didn't. We didn't
Speaker 1: have like like nowadays, the teams bring in that. You
Speaker 1: know that they have the everybody's on staff. You have dietitians,
Speaker 1: you have you know, performance coaches, you had this, you
Speaker 1: have that. We didn't have any of that. We didn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't even have when I came to the league JP.
Speaker 1: We came when when we would go into the Jets
Speaker 1: facility in the morning, this is this is serious. Series
Speaker 1: were going into the Jets facilit it in the morning.
Speaker 1: You had to have your own breakfast before you got there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There was no food provided and for breakfast, okay, there
Speaker 1: was no lunch provided. And you were there from seven
Speaker 1: am until five pm. We had no cafetia. What we did,
Speaker 1: we would send the equipment guys, whether it been Derek
Speaker 1: or Charlie or Clay or Billy Jr. Or hamp Senior
Speaker 1: or Mickey Rendine. We'd send these guys out to the
Speaker 1: to the to the deli's, the bath food. I mean,
Speaker 1: so just to go to show you, I mean, how
Speaker 1: far things have come. I mean now, I mean they're
Speaker 1: four everything that goes into the player's body. But back
Speaker 1: then and then on on Saturdays, man, we had donuts
Speaker 1: and milk and you know, not to mention the late
Speaker 1: night I can tell you that's a different sort of
Speaker 1: caloric take. I don't know how many Point Lookout Deli
Speaker 1: breakfast sandwiches I had in my six years up there,
Speaker 1: but it was a lot of them, and it was
Speaker 1: really good. But I had a lot of bread carve up,
Speaker 1: carve up, carved up, way too much. JP. That's why
Speaker 1: my face was just like that. That's why, Okay, logs,
Speaker 1: good to see. Uh, we'll talk to you again next week.
