8

Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansis, and I'm coming to you

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: from a city filled with heroes in bunkers. Mark Sessler,

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, Greg Rosenthal, What is up? Boys? Hey Dann

11
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: dirty motels that might have been connected to the Airbnb

12
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: mark that you uh landed at the start of all this.

13
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Have you guys done any more of that, any of

14
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: that um COVID nineteen Airbnb stuff? Is that still an

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: option on the table? A little bit? A little bit? Um?

16
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean I don't take a fence at the um

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: labeling and it's dirty because it's not in my place.

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: But um A I left it, and so did someone

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: when she stayed there in pristine condition, and it was

20
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: a small, very very clean place. So I don't know.

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: Through the game of telephone, um with our listeners where

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: this crops up where suddenly I'm staying in a in

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: a flophouse and like, uh, downtown, l a somewhere that

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: are you still using it? Though? Yeah, I said, we've

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: we've used it occasionally, but not not. It's only once

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: or twice in a pinch because um, you know, the

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: cost becomes slightly prohibitive. Was not in our budget when

28
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: the disease landed over the entire country. Is it okay

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: to mention that what you had mentioned on text that

30
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: you have some in that particular airbnb, some active neighbors upstairs,

31
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: act and healthy. I mean it's been mentioned now, so

32
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: whether it's okay or not to mention, I don't know

33
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: who they are. I've never seen them, but yes that

34
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: UH didn't know the second time I swung around there,

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: I did not hear them. But the first time, and

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: maybe they were celebrating um immense time at home. Uh

37
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: that there was a male female and they were doing

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: what some males and females would do in a lockdown situation.

39
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. And they weren't. They weren't

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: baking a cake. Oh, certainly, like he's Bill Belichick, Prescott

41
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Christ we're on to the f C. Um today's episode

42
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: around the a f C in we're still on the

43
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: air's too too, come on, sixteen teams in the A

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: f C. Got a little lost. That was just figuring

45
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: out the amount of teams in the n f Yeah,

46
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I thought we were doing the minutes that this was

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna got there. Oh wait, that might have been what

48
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: I was doing originally, and then it got a little

49
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: foggy and I came out of there with how many

50
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: teams are in the a f C. But let me

51
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: do that now? Okay, so sixteen that is like memorized

52
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: by now you should know just six sixteen anything you know,

53
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: it's confusing, it's times two and takes you back the

54
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: amount of teams thirty two minutes. We're gonna do two

55
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: minutes on each of the sixteen A f C teams.

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Seems a little tight. The guys seemed in on the

57
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: two minute idea, but I went along with it as

58
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: a as a good teammate. Well, it'll be a bit

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: of a test and and word economy from the fellas,

60
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: which not always our strong suits. So right there a

61
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: challenge for the around the NFL podcast, But you really

62
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: wanted to be, you know, in in support. You wouldn't

63
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: have just mentioned that, like, hey, I'm not totally in this.

64
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: This doesn't go well the other three guys. I wanted

65
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: to pull back the curtain to let the listeners know

66
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: that even as I say it, I worry that two

67
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: minutes is too short for each team. Three would be better,

68
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: but again, I like the challenge down previously, Dan, I

69
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: think there was one episode where it might have been

70
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: two and a half. Though. Okay, well, maybe my fears

71
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: will be unfounded. I mean, you've spent a solid five

72
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: minutes doing math equations in my head already on the episode.

73
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: Hang on, I'm washing my hands of the episode the webbing. No, um, yeah,

74
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: this will be good. We should be able to do this.

75
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: We just gotta uh we're each taking a team from

76
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: each of the four divisions and uh a quick setup

77
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: and a discussion, and this is gonna be totally connected,

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: of course to the draft, which is now uh just

79
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: over a week away. So I've been through the a

80
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: f C and then either later this week or next

81
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: week we'll hit the FC. We will definitely get both

82
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: conferences in before the draft, which is a week from Friday,

83
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: So this will be fun connected to the draft, but

84
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: also sort of recapping where the rosters stand after free agency,

85
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: the first wave of free agency. Okay, that's news to

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: me as well. Mine will be all focused on the

87
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: draft hand and just so you don't miss um. Just

88
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: so you don't miss it, Dan, Uh, let's start on Thursday,

89
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: which I believe it is your birthday? Is my birthday? Oh,

90
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: that's right. A lot of honking about the last remaining

91
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: days of the thirties, now that that Big four us

92
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: in the face. I it's more about I feel like

93
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: I've made my point how much younger I am than

94
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: you guys that I don't want to rub it in,

95
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: but I am aware, keenly aware that this is the

96
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: end of the road for my thirties, and it is

97
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: not great that it's happening in a deep quarantine for society. Uh.

98
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: There's not many things that I can do in terms

99
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: of bucket maneuvers at the end of my thirties. But

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: that's we're day. It's on one of the busiest work

101
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: days of the year, the one one that tends to

102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: stretch deep into the night. So yeah, I don't know

103
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: how they starting a playoff, I don't imagine will play

104
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: it well. Is the draft being held at the same

105
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: time and everything like that in terms of hours every year,

106
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: I would say, if we're doing it in Rock's basement,

107
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: why I just start the thing at one pm? What

108
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: are we doing? I mean it's already you've stripped the

109
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: popping circumstance away. Just making a daytime events. Everybody could

110
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: have a nice night. I mean, it happens to be

111
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: my wife's birthday that day as well, or I should

112
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: say her birthday. Um strike the age from it, but

113
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: uh she you know, we've mentioned she was born within

114
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: minutes of dan At in different hospitals. So it's not

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm not earning any points for the eightieth year in

116
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: a row with the draft falling on that that date.

117
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? All right? So yes, so

118
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an overview of the team, where they're at,

119
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: where they're heading. Let's get into it. Let's start with

120
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: the a f C. East Ricky, you know the drill here,

121
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: you're in charge of the countdown. Hear that air horn.

122
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: It is time to move on to the next team.

123
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,559
Speaker 1: There will be no talking about uh your team after

124
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: the air horn. We move on quickly. I'll try to

125
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: keep things moving and again this is two minutes for

126
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: each team. I will also be tracking my clock, will

127
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: see how this girls. All right, let's start in the

128
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: AFC East. As I said, with the defending af C

129
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: East champions, the New England Patriots. Greg Rosenthal get it

130
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: going there. Their needs in New England are familiar, I

131
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: think to a lot of people, tight end playmakers, quarterbacks,

132
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: certainly that's the first time in a long time. And

133
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: their front seven they don't have any real pass rushers.

134
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: And with all that in mind, I am wondering do

135
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: they take a quarterback in this draft. It is not

136
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: really their m O to move up in the draft.

137
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: They're already without a second round pick because of the

138
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: Mohammed's and new trade. And you look at where they're

139
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: drafting in the early twenties, which is earlier, and they've

140
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: been for a while, and man, this receiver classes loaded

141
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: like I can't imagine a scenari area where Denzel Mims

142
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: or Tee Higgins like these guys are exciting and the

143
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Patriots aren't gonna take a receiver there. I can't really

144
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: imagine them loading up to trade up for a quarterback

145
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: unless they traded Julian Edelman. He feels like the one

146
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: guy on the team that makes most sense to trade.

147
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Do you guys think Edelman is on a team going

148
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: into day? He makes so much sense to go to Tampa,

149
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: But Tampa is pretty set up at wide receiver as

150
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: we know. Detroit would be another one they wanted to

151
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: call old Matt Patricia, like I think they have. They

152
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: have problems on defense at least they need to get

153
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: some difference makers up front, so it might not be receiver,

154
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: but it feels like a perfect class to take one.

155
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: Remember those the chatter about the Patriots years back on

156
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: being interested in moving up for Baker Mayfield, and there's

157
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: been other little whispers here and there. I mean, this

158
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: would be the year to do it, and they don't

159
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: have the They have a lot of draft picks, but

160
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: like you're right, not up high, so maybe tough to

161
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: pull off. And who's gonna want to let them waltz

162
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: in and get a quarterback number one overall or something.

163
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: But I feel like Belichick might have something up asleep

164
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: if too of out guy that just feels like a

165
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Patriots type of thing. Although you're hearing a little justin

166
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Herbert's death. One thing Belichick has demonstrated when the Patriots

167
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: suffering a f C playoff loss, it's back to the

168
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: drawing hand and sort of pivoting to a new roster

169
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: strategy like he did when he drafted Bronk and Aaron

170
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: or Nandez together, when he's gone running back heavy and

171
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: other drafts. So we'll see they don't have a lot

172
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: of huge needs though. I mean it's a pretty yeah,

173
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: good offensive line, good secondary. The New York Jets. Uh,

174
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: it's a tackle, Tristan Wharfs, Jedrick Wills, Mackay Beckton, or

175
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and uh we have Daniel Jeremiah and

176
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks both have Alabama star Seedee Lamb going to

177
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: the Jets at eleven, giving them we talked about this

178
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: last week, a premium young wide receiver to pair with

179
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: their quarterback they believe is a franchise quarter right, it's

180
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: frankly overdue considering Donald's entering year three, Charles Davis is

181
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy going to the Jets is the first wide

182
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: receiver off the board. So the at least the football

183
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Gagna sent the wasting seconds here is thinking wide receiver now,

184
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: but tackle wouldn't surprised me one thing. One potential curveball.

185
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: The Jets need a lot of help in their secondary.

186
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Greg Williams did a good job coaching up last year.

187
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: But this guy, Jeff A. Kuda, who everyone loves and

188
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: is projected as a top ten pick if he ever

189
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: felt eleven. Would the Jets be tempted to get a

190
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: young cornerback, old line wide receiver cornerback as a curveball.

191
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: But don't they need I mean, this is a team

192
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: that it's like he's Joe Douglas is inheriting a lot

193
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: of the same problems a lot of Jets gms have,

194
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: which he spent the first year just trying to like

195
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: overcome the previous mistakes. There's not a lot of big

196
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: strengths on this Jets roster. I mean, it's a big

197
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: year for their draft go ahead. I feel like we

198
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: we've mentioned this every time we talk about the Jets

199
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: and Jets needs edge rusher for like the four year

200
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: in the row. Um. I mean, I think they seem

201
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: to have a very tactical approach to free agency, which

202
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: was not blow you away with big names signings, which

203
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: is fine, but they have so many holes to fill

204
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: that I don't know. If you go get the wide

205
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: receiver and not an offensive tackle, what does that mean

206
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald on the you know, past protection front. Well,

207
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: they did make moves of free agency an offensive line

208
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: and there will well you know we've discussed those, and

209
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: there they just saying it ain't on the guys they wanted. Well,

210
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: they wanted Cockland. That's the guy that seriously wanted. But

211
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I would say none of us should be diving into

212
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: deep on weather and offensive linement could play or not

213
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: until we see him right anyway, Moving on the Buffalo

214
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: Bill Mark Sasby. I kind of like the Stefon Diggs trade.

215
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: It was expensive and you know, unlike the Texans, I

216
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: thought that the Vikings got good value in return for Digs.

217
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: But it gives the Bills a chance to go address Um.

218
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: What I think they'll do defense um early on, and

219
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: they could use Um an edge rusher along with the Jets.

220
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: They could to shack Lawson. Um went to the Dolphins.

221
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: If you read a lot of Bills writers, they're talking

222
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: about cornerback as well. Even though they got Josh Norman.

223
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermott would be fine having like fifty

224
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: seven cornerbacks on his roster. There aren't a billion needs

225
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: on offense. I think they would have been a key

226
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: to get a wide receiver, if not for digs, but

227
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: maybe a running back to pair with Devin Singletary, just

228
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: because I like him, but I don't know if I

229
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: trust him as a lone feature workhorse guy. What do

230
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: you guys think? They've done a good job the last

231
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: couple of years at wide receiver. They still don't have

232
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: a proven playmaker at tight end. They've got a couple

233
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: of guys they drafted last year who showed glimpses. I'm

234
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: with you, I'd like to see another running back to

235
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: go with Devin Singletary. And I think they need help

236
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: at guard, which isn't very exciting, but they need guard hill.

237
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to rank Brandon being pretty high on

238
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: these GM rankings coming out later this week. There's an

239
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: annual exercise that's back. I feel like this roster, he's

240
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: three years into it, like it's perfectly set up where

241
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: he can go almost anywhere in this draft, and they

242
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of needs. I feel like defensive end,

243
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: they can't feel good about Mario Addison and Jerry Hughes.

244
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: They don't really have like a future pass rusher. But man,

245
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: this is like the year for the Bills to push

246
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and the Bills fan, the Bills Mafias all gotta like

247
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: expect it, but like this is their year, like they

248
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: they should have high hopes. This should be one where

249
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: they think they can go far in the Are they

250
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: the Browns of two thousand twenty? I kind of think

251
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: they are, But to Greg's point, I think that McDermott

252
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: and Bean have showed such an ability to work well

253
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: together that they aren't the Browns on that. From that angle,

254
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: there a well put together organization for first time in

255
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: a while. They are actually coming off of season where

256
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: they had success, so it's different in that, uh that

257
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: way West then a shout the division with the Dolphins, Well,

258
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: they spend a lot of money on defense and free agency,

259
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: so you know they're gonna be looking at offense. And

260
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: of course quarterback Armando Salgaro, who has been pretty plugged

261
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: in uh since we've started covering football with the Dolphins,

262
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: has said pretty strongly that two is not their guy

263
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: um and it's lying season, so you never know, but

264
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that people will be burning their bridges

265
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: with Selgaro because he doesn't seem to fall for the

266
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: false reports. So that's something to note. But outside of quarterback,

267
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: don't forget how lousy this team is at offensive tackle.

268
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: They've got Julian Davenport and Jesse Davis, two of the

269
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: weaker starting tackles in the NFL, So to me, it

270
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a big surprise if they end up going

271
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: tackle early. I think Brian Floor has got everyone excited,

272
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: but when you look at this roster, it still looks

273
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: like a team that's pretty deep in a rebuild, and

274
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: the schedule is gonna get the harder for the a

275
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: f C East. Like they could win five games again

276
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: and that would be a good coaching job. Again, I'm

277
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: not buying the fact that they're not field like Draft Smoke.

278
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the guy that we heard Stephen

279
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: Ross like too literally two years ago. I do wonder.

280
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I I love the end of the year

281
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: story for the Dolphins, but in a a I mean

282
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: the whole question. It was Silgaro who gave us the

283
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: first mention of the organic tanking, and that's really exactly

284
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: what at least parts of the organization organization tried to do.

285
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: But wouldn't they be so thrilled? And I think their

286
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: owner would be two at number one with Joe Burrown.

287
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: It seems to be just conflicted about any of the

288
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. But how do you go anywhere else than quarterback? Ye,

289
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah have Justin Herbert of Oregon

290
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: going number five overall to Miami, to uh uh to Miami,

291
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: Charles Davis and Peter Schreeger. So yeah, quarterback makes a

292
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of sense. But it Seger dropped this nug last

293
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: week that they might not be into a pass on

294
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: on Dolphins and let him fall down to eleven and

295
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: old Bill Blocheck comes up all right. On to the

296
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: ANFC North, the defending division champ Ravens. The Ravens um

297
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna move up potentially in this draft.

298
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: They have two second round picks, they have two third

299
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: round picks. They're at number and they're pretty loaded except

300
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: for in the front seven. They are so old upfront.

301
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: They ended up signing Derek Wolfe when they couldn't um

302
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: in Michael Bracker's which was a nice move. And they

303
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: have Class Campbell and Brandon Williams, but all those guys

304
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,479
Speaker 1: are over thirty. They really don't have any edge rushers

305
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: or linebackers except for Matthew Judon, who's a franchise tag

306
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: guy and and probably won't be there next year. So

307
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: they feel like they used to always have guys up front,

308
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: and they don't really have any young guys up front.

309
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: It feels like they are gonna just load up at

310
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: that because they're pretty well set up everywhere else. I

311
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: really wanted them to get Emmanuel Sanders or someone of

312
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: that ilk where I think they could use another wide

313
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: receiver um to bail them out at times on that

314
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: side of the ball. A veteran I mean, well it

315
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: would be a rookie, so not a veteran, but uh,

316
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: maybe drafted guy leaving. Going back a couple of years

317
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: ago when they buy clock does that to some people, Yeah,

318
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: the clock is how are you feeling about the two

319
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: minutes right now? Dan? So far? So good? Go ahead

320
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: on U. A couple of years ago, they bypassed Derwin James,

321
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: so they traded down and they added offense. They really

322
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: went after hating hers. They got Um Orlando Brown. So

323
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: they they have really plugged into the offensive side of

324
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: the ball, and now it's time, like Greg said, to

325
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: go defense. Maybe a couple offensive lineman, especially on the interior,

326
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: but mostly the front seven on defense. Year two Lamar

327
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: Jackson or year three, excuse me, he'll be a fascinating

328
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: guy to track. Can he do it again? Does he

329
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: have to be that good? Well, I think he's gonna

330
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: have to be different. I don't. I don't think they're

331
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: getting Just like we talked about last off season, They're

332
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: not gonna roll out the same exact offense I think

333
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: they had in in They're gonna have to do different things.

334
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: But I give it. I expect them to be ahead

335
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: of occurrence. Though we love a lot of pressure on

336
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: them in January if they get back there. There's a

337
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: bit of a narrative emerging there. Moving on to the

338
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's feelers, they do not have a first round pick.

339
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Make a Fitzpatrick trade took that away, so they picked

340
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: at forty ninth o overall, six picks overall. I'm very

341
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: interested how they attack this draft from the offensive side

342
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: of the ball. The offense of the line is getting

343
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: a little up there in years they have three guys

344
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: over thirty. Um, they don't have a lot of depth there.

345
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: Ramon Foster just retired. Then you have quarterback the thirty

346
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: eight year old Ben Roethlisberger just missed a full season,

347
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: currently looks like a long haul trucker. What's going on

348
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: with him? At running back? You just keep on hearing

349
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: that James Conner is now kind of on the outs

350
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: of that organization, which surprises me. But you know what,

351
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: he also was hurt and couldn't do it last year.

352
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: Um So where did they go? I think this is

353
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna be an offensive draft for them. At the top

354
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: of the draft. Uh, starting in the second round, would

355
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: they take one of the top running backs on the board.

356
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: That would be not surprising to me. Um. I don't

357
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: think they're in the market for a quarterback at this time.

358
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: But one of the position to watch is wide receiver

359
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster surprisingly going into his contract year. They

360
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: hardly ever give out second contracts to wide outs, and

361
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: they also don't have a ton of depth there, so

362
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: that could be an address area they address. Somebody's been

363
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: doing his Steelers then now it is around the James Conner.

364
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they want to replace him. I

365
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: think they want to compliment him with a guy who's

366
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more explosive than Benny Snell, and I agree.

367
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: There has been talk that Juju Smith Schuster might not

368
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: be the big priority contract wise that we would have

369
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: thought he was. He was. He's just him and Connor

370
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: very similar that they were supposed to be the man

371
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: and then they were banged up and didn't do a

372
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: lot when they were on the field. So kind of

373
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: a really bad season of twenty nineteen for Pittsburgh. Everything

374
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: went wrong. It's like a lot of times you look

375
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: at like Pittsburgh's needs heading into the draft, and then

376
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Colbert just goes and drafts the best player available.

377
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean just I've seen them do that too many times,

378
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they'll go for one of

379
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: these needs or not. The best defense Mike Timlin had

380
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: since since like early on in the mimin it's called

381
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: my World, there the time and the time is really

382
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: has marked on the end. I don't know, this is

383
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: like a you know, this is not a cloud Sick

384
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: All Star Day for me so far. Mark, You're Cleveland

385
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: Browns who are re introducing their need on Farms tomorrow.

386
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: I you know, it's every single mock draft mostly says

387
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland just grabbing the best available left tackle um at

388
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: at their spot, and some even saying moving up for one.

389
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I think you have to do that at this point,

390
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 1: just because your other option right now is Chris Hubbard,

391
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: who we know what he is, and yeah, we don't

392
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: need to see another year of that um at at

393
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: any at any length. Linebackers a big, big need. You

394
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: didn't resign Joe Schobert um Christian Kirksey. I have no

395
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: problem letting him go. I think he was to his

396
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: durability was too much a concern for the money he

397
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: was making. But they need to address that position. UM.

398
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: They continue to get run on at big clips last

399
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: year and that's not good. And safety has been a

400
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: revolving door. And they signed h Karl Joseph. They signed

401
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Andrewson Dajo, but both to one year deals, and a

402
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: lot of their free agent pickups were one year um

403
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: at most two year little what I viewed to be patches,

404
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: veteran patches to get some of the defense in order.

405
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Outside of tackle. I think it's a very defensive heavy

406
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: draft for Cleveland. UM they I wouldn't mind them seeing

407
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: in another world taking a shot at one of the

408
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: better wide receivers where they are. But I just don't

409
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: think it seems a little risky not taking it tack.

410
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: It takes crazy to take a receiver if it does.

411
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: Except couldn't you imagine a world where like for some reason,

412
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Landry or Beckham is not there next year and you

413
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: have no one besides one of the rosters. So good,

414
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: their roster is good right now. You've spent so much

415
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: on that that when there's a tackle there that there

416
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: should be, I mean, now is the time. It's so

417
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: hard to get those guys. Daniel Jeremiah has Isaiah Simmons,

418
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: the Clemson linebacker going to the Browns. Would you be

419
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: upset about that mark if you passed seen that in

420
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: a couple of places. And I and I you know,

421
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: I know as much about Isaiah Isaiah Simmons as as

422
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: my mom does at this point, but I would say this,

423
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: what I keep hearing is he's tough. He's a tough fit. Um,

424
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: where do you put him in certain defenses? And does

425
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: he fit Cleveland's defense? And and will he fit their

426
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: defense when they have a new defensive coordinator next year

427
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: or the year after. Is he that kind of a player?

428
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: Breaking down the game film like that. They're connected to

429
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: Ezra Cleveland in the second round, the Boise State tackle

430
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: her birth. Yeah, my mom's name is Barbara. Just sounded

431
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: like a name Bertha Sessler. No, that is not her.

432
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: That is not her first name. I can assure you,

433
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: bab Sessler is her name. Next up, Chris Wesling, your

434
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Growing it up in that city and living

435
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: there for over thirty years. My take is that Joe

436
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Burrow fits this franchise and city better than any quarterback

437
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: they've had since the late sixties when they drafted one

438
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: of the great might have been in NFL history, great

439
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: out of the University of Cincinnati. UM. Joe Burrow is

440
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: an Ohio guy. He seems to fit personality wise that city.

441
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: And now here's where we get into They get their quarterback.

442
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: But they had thirty eight sacks attributed to their offensive

443
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: line last year, the highest figure in the NFL according

444
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus. This organization has been downright in

445
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: apt at picking offensive lineman from cedric A. Bullier to

446
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: Jake Fisher Billy Price in the first round. Michael Jordan,

447
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: a guy they drafted in the fourth round last year,

448
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: really struggled. And Jonah Williams they took in the first

449
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: round didn't play a snap because he was injured. They

450
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: really need after they get Burrow to upgrade this offensive line.

451
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: I like the offseason they had though their roster. You know,

452
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: I was doing the the a f C kind of

453
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: power rock spe of thing, and I don't know, like

454
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: they looked like they could be an eight and eight

455
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: team if if a few things broke right in Burrow

456
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: is actually good and they maybe if they weren't in

457
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: that division, Like they really aren't a bad looking roster

458
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: at all. They should source out their drafting of offensive

459
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: lineman to another front office just as a favor. Can

460
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: you pick the lineman for us because we've we've shown

461
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: we're not good at that. That's a good call. Is

462
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: any franchise good at drafting offensive lineman? The Saints, I guess,

463
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Cowboys what's the boy head coaches name

464
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: report out there today that he does not anticipate Cincinnati

465
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: trading out of the number one pick, and they better not.

466
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: West all of the West Side is gonna burn the

467
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: place down. If you don't bring this kid in to

468
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: save the day. If if there was any potential to

469
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: burn the place down, it would have happened in the nineties,

470
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: for the early two thousand's or last year. I don't

471
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna happen now, all right, let us

472
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: move on to the a FC South Graig starting with

473
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Did Jaguars have like one of the worst

474
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: rosters in the NFL? I mean, it's it's crazy. Dave

475
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: Caldwell took over in only one team has lost more

476
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: games since then, that's the Cleveland Browns, and they're not

477
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: in that much better shape the Jaguars than they were

478
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: when he took over, and that was it was a

479
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: train wreck. But they do have a very interesting draft.

480
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: They have the number nine pick, the number twenty pick,

481
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: and they have Yannick and Gockway, who everyone thinks is

482
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: gonna get traded in the next week or maybe on

483
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: Draft Day. Like it's really interesting. And I think they

484
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: do believe in Gardner Minshew. But if it wasn't for Minshew,

485
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: it's like everyone would be assuming they would be the

486
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: team that would be moving up. And they man, they

487
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: have the assets to do at nine twenty and in Gockway.

488
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for like a totally crazy thing

489
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: to happen on draft day, I feel like them packaging

490
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: and them taking a quarterback and this whole Minshew stuff

491
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: was garbage. UM would be a big surprise they could

492
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: drop on every Minshew is a smoke screen, is kind

493
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: of brilliant. If they really want to cue, they're they're

494
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: lying in the weeds. I think they're more likely to

495
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: trade down from number nine. A team might want to

496
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: get in front of the Jets and Browns for a

497
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: tackle or maybe even a wide receiver. The Broncos have

498
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: been mentioned as a team that could trade up there.

499
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: I I look at them and and I don't actually

500
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: think they would do that for a quarterback because I

501
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: think Caldwells they have to be feeling the heat and thinking,

502
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: we need to compete this year. We need Minshew to

503
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: just be the man and we're gonna be better off.

504
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they get a second round pick for

505
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: in Gokway and they just have you know, five picks

506
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: in the first two rounds and hope they hit on

507
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: it because they're gonna need to have some sort of

508
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: progress this year, or you would think that they would

509
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: finally blow things up, although we've said that before. Yeah,

510
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm just not convinced anyone making any of these decisions

511
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: is going to be the right person to be there

512
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: when the players they pick are heading into year two.

513
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: They've got they've shown the ability to tear down a team,

514
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: not build one. Tough tough spot there for Caldwell's finishing

515
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: last on the GM ranking, Bill O'Brien doesn't get the

516
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: last one, Well, yeah, he doesn't qualify. I do a

517
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: whole thing. They need to have already done, like one

518
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: draft in charge and you know that sort of thing.

519
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Moving on the Houston Texans, they have six picks. They also,

520
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: like the Steelers, without a first round pick, so their

521
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: first draft pick is a fifty seven overall DeAndre Hopkins

522
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: out the door. They did bring in Randall Cobb, and

523
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: they brought in Brandon Cooks. I still wonder and we

524
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: keep being told that this is a stark draft class.

525
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: Will Will Bill O'Brien UH draft a wide receiver early

526
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: in the draft for I don't know, but another But

527
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: that makes some sense, But there's also areas of UH concerned.

528
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: Let's look at the defensive line. DJ reader, he's out

529
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: the door. He signs the big deal with West's Bengals,

530
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: and then you know, eight months before that, Clowney goes

531
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: out the door. So suddenly a lot of guys that

532
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: we're mainstay is on that defensive line our history. J J.

533
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Watts another year older, so they got to rebuild that

534
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: line a little bit um and guess what, no first

535
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: round pick or second round pick latin next year. So uh,

536
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: better hit on what you got here, Billy ob. They're

537
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: desperate for edge rushers, especially young ones, and cornerbacks who

538
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: can play. They've got some cornerbacks with pedigrees and none

539
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: of them can cover anything. I mean, I'd say the trade,

540
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: the under part of the trade that was that was

541
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: not picked on enough was the David John some sided things.

542
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: You might need a running back in this draft at

543
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: some point. I just I'm not convinced that isn't that

544
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: players anything more than a question mark That Lamar Miller

545
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: is still in the building right coming back from coming

546
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: off a major injury. I don't know. I mean, if

547
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: if anything does, does Bill O'Brien need to you know,

548
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: extend in olive branch to Deshaun Watson with a wide

549
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: receiver number one, just as a message to the lock.

550
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean they have they have the number forty pick.

551
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: It's a deep receiver draft. They've got four wide receivers, right.

552
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: But you also think they are about as likely as

553
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: any team to trade out of their pick, because you

554
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: would just assume they're gonna try to need to pick

555
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: up extra picks, especially knowing they don't have their first

556
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: two picks next year either disaster Well Fuller obviously is

557
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: the other guy. He's missed twenty of the last forty

558
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: eight games and he's in a contract here. So I'm

559
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: just saying from like a long term draft plan. But

560
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure Bill thinks he needs to get better right

561
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: now because they heat. He is from Billy O'Brien, the

562
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee Tit two Titans. Excuse me, Mark almost. I guess

563
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: if you're the Titans, you could look and at you

564
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: could really look in a couple of different directions. I mean,

565
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: you get you lost Jack Conklin along the line that

566
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: was meant to be your identity, and you've got Dennis

567
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: kill Kelly filling in. So right tackle is an option?

568
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: Uh it depending on where you are. Um, you know,

569
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: you get Jarrell Casey was given away for a song

570
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: to the Broncos, and I just see a defense that

571
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: also needs help at cornerback um Logan, Ryan's gone door,

572
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 1: Jackson is entering his fourth year. Malcolm Butler, I mean,

573
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: it's I'm not sure Malcolm Butler is what we thought

574
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: he was a few years ago. And you know, if

575
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: there was whispers of them going after jadeveon Clowney and

576
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want Clowney and Tennessee on a

577
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: long term deal, but he'd give them a little bit

578
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: of spice and a little bit of identity. So I

579
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: think that the next move for Tennessee is is adding

580
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: someone to the defense that kind of keeps offensive coordinators

581
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: up at night, and then maybe running back to pair

582
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry, because do you really want to run

583
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: him completely into the ground unless he's you know, a

584
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: short term option here. A j. Brown was such an

585
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: important hit for them at larger either because that position

586
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: has seemed like a need for them for so long

587
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: and now it's so far down on the list. I

588
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: agree with you, Mark, They're gonna have to concentrate on

589
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: defense just to replace the left, and especially if they

590
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: don't resign Logan Ryan. Yeah, they signed Vic Beasley, which

591
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: it was a one year deal. It's only so much risk,

592
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: but you don't expect him to turn things around. They've

593
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: been pretty generic. They like they have a personality, like

594
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: a big, physical team that's a little bit better than

595
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: some of their parts. But you you guys said it

596
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: that there's no one on defense. I think that that

597
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: worries the opposition. I might have missed this mark. Did

598
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: they plug in Jack Conkland replacements? They have a guy

599
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: in their roster and think he's been there a while,

600
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: Kelly sound tackle swing tackle. Jennet's Kelly disgraced cop. It's funny.

601
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: This is the tight and they're the first team that

602
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: we're like in the DNA. The weather is great in

603
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: l A. This week's oh yeah, beautiful board. Now my

604
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: vault part. Finally, the Indianapolis Colts cults Chris Wesley, Well

605
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: this guy? I mean, you get Brandon Breen, Brandon Bean props,

606
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: how about Chris Ballard. I don't see a glaring weakness

607
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: on this roster in any way, shape or form. The

608
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: The biggest issue to me is whether Philip Rivers works

609
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: out or not. If he's washed up. Then quarterback, you're

610
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: back to square one with Jakobe Pursetta guy. You see

611
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: more as a high end backup or the perfect backup

612
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: than than a solution. But I can see them going

613
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: left tackle, wide receiver, tight end, running back, edge rusher,

614
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: developmental quarterback. They have drafted so well in the mid

615
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: rounds and they could go any of those ways, but

616
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: there is nothing they desperately need. M West is still

617
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: in on the Colts. He did he kind of got

618
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: got robbed. Me disagree that they that they have a

619
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: glaring weakness. No, I kind of like the Cults. I

620
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: think if I had to pick an a f C

621
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: South team, it would be the Cults. Although it's it's

622
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: got to be the most open division maybe in the

623
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: entire league. Do you like giving away the thirteenth overall pick,

624
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: um four DeForest Buckner when they have I think they

625
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: have a few distinct needs. You know, they could use

626
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: another wide receiver, but I i the Forest Buckner will

627
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: change that defense. Yes, because like they have all the

628
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: cap space in the world. In the best case scenario,

629
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: you hit on DeForest Buckner, you know, with the third

630
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: team pick, and that is a great scenario and you

631
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: got to use the Yeah, it's really hard to get

632
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: ship players in free agency. They got one in in Buckner,

633
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: and if Rivers works out, that's another one. I know

634
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: we talked about the idea of Jake Briskett maybe reassuming

635
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: a starting roll down the line, but I think it's

636
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: far more likely that they'll bring in a young quarterback

637
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: that will be the Phil Rivers successor that's not Jake Briskett.

638
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if they they're laying in the weeds, uh,

639
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: since they don't have a huge need. If they have

640
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback they love that falsom, would they pull the

641
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: trigger or they would I guess they'd have to move

642
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: up since I don't know what Kelly? What about Chad?

643
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: I love Chatty Kelly, but uh, you know, he's a

644
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: disgrace cop. But I love Chad every Kelly that's a

645
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: disgraced cop him I have good feelings for. But no,

646
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: they don't seem to love him in that building or

647
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: set them free. They took a step back on defense too.

648
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: They need some difference makers on defense too. I mean

649
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: that's why they got free right. Finally, the n f

650
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: C West, starting with the Chargers, a little got a

651
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: little rough there, Dicey at the end of the AFC South,

652
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: But we're gonna come on, sho. Why what do you

653
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: mean it was rough? I don't know. I felt like

654
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: we ran out of things to talk about the last

655
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: couple of teams. But we are going to just try.

656
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to time it to the two minutes. You

657
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: don't want to start into some other big points what

658
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. We can talk about the Chargers all

659
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: day long. I mean, who doesn't love this America's um

660
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: They've got the number six over I'll pick and you

661
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: assume that they would take to uh if he's there,

662
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: and what is that and we're done? They would take

663
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert if he's there, or maybe who knows, maybe

664
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: they love just love but they could go another route.

665
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean, their roster looks so good. If they really

666
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: did believe in Tyrod and you already added like an

667
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: All Pro and trade turner to the offensive line, you

668
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: added Brian Bulaga, who's better than any tackle they've had,

669
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: and you add another tackle forget it. I mean that

670
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: suddenly they got a great offensive line, right, But then

671
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: they're one of these teams that's like, look, at us

672
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: were very talented except for a quarterback and the whole

673
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor song and dance. That's nice. I think that

674
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: they um they like him as a player, But give

675
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: me a break. How do you walk into a new

676
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: stadium and try to sell Tyrod Taylor as your starter

677
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: in this BMS gigantic fresh New Los Angeles playing ground scenario. No,

678
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: you gotta get a quarterback. You gotta do it. They

679
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: have to decide one way or another. If Tyrod Taylor

680
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: is your guy, then you're not drafting a quarterback at

681
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: number six. You go win with Tyrod Taylor, build up,

682
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: get bigger, get another big running back, run the ball,

683
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: because that's what you're gonna do with Tyrod. If if

684
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: he's not your guy, if he's just a band aid,

685
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: then you need a number three receiver behind Mike Williams

686
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen, and you need you need to draft

687
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback at number six. They got a lot of

688
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: people they gotta pay coming up to both uh and

689
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: eventually Darwin James. That's in a few years, Keenan out.

690
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they actually almost have two good

691
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: a roster. They're gonna have to stir paying these guys.

692
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: Didn't this play out exactly the same way in Cleveland

693
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: where Tyrod was positioned as a starter. Then they grabbed

694
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: someone at the top of the fourth round a starter

695
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: in March. Yeah, it all feels highly familiar, all right,

696
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, that's right, Las Vegas. Uh secondary

697
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: needs a ton of help. Ranked in past defense d

698
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: v o A last season. Uh so that makes a

699
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: lot of sense. They had Eli Apple on the hook

700
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: one year deal that fell through. Again, I'll throwout jeff

701
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: A Kuda. I think he's an interesting guy at the

702
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: top of the draft. Not as a prospect. I'm not

703
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: here to tell you whether the guy can play or not,

704
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: but where he falls, whether the Raiders people think the

705
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: Lions might take him at three three, I'm seeing him

706
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: go in the back half of the top ten. Could

707
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders get aggressive and trade up? Uh? Can they

708
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: pass on a Kuda if he was there at eleven

709
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: or twelve and good conscious? I don't. I don't know.

710
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: Um that said, they also will have a great wide

711
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: receiver on the board at twelfth overall, and the current

712
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: group includes Tyrell Williams, Nelson, Agilar Hunter, Renfro But they

713
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: still have that Antonio Brown sized hole on the depth chart,

714
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: So it makes so much sense that a wide receiver quotes, yeah,

715
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I see this with two of their first round picks.

716
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: I think wide receiver and cornerback make the most sense.

717
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: L s U C. J. Hen Here's Henderson if they

718
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: don't get a Kuda. I've been reading that some people

719
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: actually like Henderson better than a Kuda, and he's a

720
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: better cover corner. So we'll see you on that one.

721
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: And they are screaming for a playmaking wide receiver, so

722
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: that has to be priority number one, I would think,

723
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: because Tyrolle Williams is nice, but he's not a true

724
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: number one. And Aglar I don't think he's a number

725
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: two hud to renfro Greg exactly where he should be

726
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: right there, locked in for the next decade. Yeah, and

727
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: this this draft should set up well for them. Most

728
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: people think it is really a top three receivers that

729
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs is right there with Judy and Lamb, and

730
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: like physically he's about as imposing and just seems like

731
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: a guy that Jon Gruden and Mayok would love. So

732
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: one of those three should be there, at the very

733
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: least for the Raiders to day. The Raiders could be

734
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: I just noticed Mark's wearing Rob Lowe's NFL hat right, Well,

735
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: that was like blue over white. But I hear you,

736
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: there's no over logo from a distance. Uh. Mark Sessler

737
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. I mean

738
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: it chiefs to me compared to what's happened to the

739
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Rams over the last couple of years, like walk into

740
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: UM defending their crown with so many people intact already

741
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: on offense. Um, I guess for me, the question would be,

742
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to focus on defense, I think. And

743
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: they've got a couple issues at cornerback. Kendall Fuller's gone.

744
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: Um Mo Claiborne, who I think appeared in eight games

745
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: last year but was important for them at periods, is gone. Uh.

746
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: They could use help there. They're pretty patchwork at linebacker

747
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: right now. And I would say the other if you

748
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: wanted to hit offense, maybe, um, your offensive line. You've

749
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: got guys like and they believe me. I'm no cam

750
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: Irvan fan, but they did a better job with him

751
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: than the Browns did. Um with new skis gone as well,

752
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: so you could use a little help there. But I

753
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: would never put it past the Chiefs. It would depending

754
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: on where they where, who falls to them, just to

755
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: take another the fastest player they can add to their

756
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: offense and keep dropping bombs on a division that I

757
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: think is in a lot of trouble as long as

758
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is healthy. Yeah, they drafted McCool Hardman in

759
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: the second round last year, and after resigning Watkins and

760
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson, he's still the the number four guy on

761
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: the depth chart. They have speak coming out of their ears.

762
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: I know Dan wanted Jamie and Williams to be the

763
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP or something, but they could use a

764
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: running back to at some point. Uh where're you Dan

765
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: and the like? Are we sure we want to want

766
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: to give Patrick Mahomes? They they cleaned up in sandwiches

767
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: on Patrick Mahomes. Okay, maybe it was maybe it was West.

768
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, he should have been the m v P.

769
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I stand by that. But you mentioned taking a playmaker

770
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: like there. You know running backs are gonna go early

771
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: in this draft. Maybe they take one of the top

772
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: one or two running backs even wouldn't shock me at

773
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: the end of the first round. I mean, I I'm

774
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: thinking though, cornerback linebackers where I think they will go.

775
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs sometimes zig. When we're thinking they're gonna do,

776
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: everyone thinks something else. I kind of don't think they're

777
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: gonna resign Chris Jones long term too, just because they

778
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: have to sign Mahomes. They haven't even really tried to

779
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: sign Chris Jones long term at this point. Um, so

780
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: that's a whole They did bring back, but Shad and

781
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: recently on a cheap contract, hit a nice super Bowl,

782
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: pretty good run teams. I mean, they're gonna have to

783
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: pay my homes soon and it's been the biggest deal

784
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: in the history of football. Fifty million dollars there. Well,

785
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: it's every penny and that's it. We went around, didn't.

786
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh it's another West pet team. Oh no, finally, but

787
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. This is a team one of my favorite

788
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: off seasons. And I know I'm higher on the Broncos

789
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: always than I should be. But getting Drell Casey, like

790
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: Mark said, for a song, adding a good lineman like

791
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: Graham Glasgow, bringing him Melvin Gordon to pair with Philip Lindsay.

792
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: Your defense I think is pretty much set. It's the offense,

793
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: and I think The one caveat is even if you

794
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: think Drew Lock has a lot of potential, that is

795
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: a that is such a what if it's such a

796
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: question mark at quarterback, and especially with nothing behind him. Um,

797
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: I would like to see them get somebody, probably a veteran,

798
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: but the glaring hole there is a number two wide

799
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: receiver behind Courtland Sutton, and I think you still have

800
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: some work to do on the offensive line. As I

801
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, would not surprise me if they moved up

802
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: to somewhere like number nine in Jacksonville slot for one

803
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: of the big wide receivers. There no way trade up before.

804
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's not as scared to do that.

805
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be scared of then of of like upsetting

806
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 1: Drew Locks like fragile, uh, you know, psyche or something.

807
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 1: If they bringing in a veteran, just bringing in value,

808
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: just going in a handholder, Ricky, that was not two minutes?

809
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: What was that? It really was? No that felt Ricky.

810
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: We were having so much fun at the time shot

811
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: by Yeah the time clause when you're having fun, Ricky. Uh.

812
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: If Ricky had that off by so much, it makes

813
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: you wonder about the accuracy of all of them. No,

814
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: I've been tracking him on my phone. So okay, how

815
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: how long was that one when or something and came

816
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: back and it's like, I guess it's been two minutes.

817
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: That was about one minute in twenty four seconds. So

818
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: the poor broadcast. They're already upset with everyone but West

819
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: thank used wide receiver two. Right. I think you mentioned

820
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: that until they started winning games, they don't have any

821
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: right to be upset with anyone except their own front office.

822
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: Give me a fun division. I feel like any one

823
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: of those teams could be a surprise playoff team other,

824
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, other than the Chiefs. All right, there we

825
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: go around the a f C in thirty two minutes.

826
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, two minutes, perfectly perfect amount

827
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: of time. Some teams that could have been around the

828
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: team in ninety seconds. It would have been great. A

829
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: little more confidence in our in our leadership next time

830
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: would be appreciated. What you're right, when you're right, you're right?

831
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: Was uh? And I will say that West, if you

832
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: are going to pump up the Bermuda Triangle of the NFL,

833
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to beef up those AFC SALTH teams

834
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: in the back end of the two minutes next time.

835
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: That's fair, That is fair. I think we're all making

836
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: good points here. All right, we will be uh returning

837
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: with the around the NFC in thirty two minutes. I know,

838
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: do you guys want to do it this week or

839
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: do you want to maybe push pause in this because

840
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like that that's a lot

841
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: to do back to back shows. We don't have to

842
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: make any promises too much football for Dan in back

843
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: to back show, it wasn't I wasn't quite as fun

844
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: as usual, but it was nice solid football. Top Let's go,

845
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: let's go back to the Roosevelt Knicks and the old

846
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a better show. Yeah, but weren't you guys

847
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: doing this like off drafting stuff? What's up? We can

848
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: squeeze it. We'll do it next at the very well,

849
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: we have guests. We have guests lined up, so we'll

850
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: have to see see how that all works at we can,

851
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: we can, We could do it next week. We could

852
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: do it Tuesday or something next week. Who who did

853
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: the cults? By the way, I did right? Who did

854
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: Rosie Nicks? Did he come up in your two minutes?

855
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: I don't think he did? Know we we don't spend

856
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: whole lot of time on on a position that only

857
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: gets three snaps a game, major and a major fullback

858
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: presence cover the long snapper either, just just so you know,

859
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff. It's I like the football talk,

860
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: right I do. But let's you know, let's not you know,

861
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: totally nerded out every show, is what I'm saying. Mix

862
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: in the fun, the mirth with the analysis. I think

863
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: we've had that covered. Yeah, this feels like a topic

864
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: from our first year or two of the podcast. How

865
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: much should be football and how much should be mirth? Right?

866
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: Finding a balance. Greg's like I need Peter Schreeger to

867
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: respect me, so all analysis and then I'm like, all

868
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: mirth because I'm the fun guy. You know. It's interesting

869
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: now you see that. Yeah, I definitely struck a card

870
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: here by bringing this up. I think a nice split football.

871
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: The rest of the nonsense, so much more to life. Mark,

872
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: all right, that's it, good stuff. We'll see you guys tomorrow.

873
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: Reminded of the Twitter show. It's back on Friday, so um,

875
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Do you have anything to before we say goodbye again?

876
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: The program didn't have as much time for you. But

877
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: that's yeah, no, it was cool. I I just tuck

Speaker 1: myself out and I just watched the clock, and you know,

879
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,800
