Speaker 1: Boy from Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2: It's the sixteenth annual Marck Sessler Mark Draft, your must
Speaker 2: have final compendium to the twenty twenty four NFL Draft.
Speaker 2: I'm Jason some Walt. You may know me as the
Speaker 2: voice of Renald Draft two thousand and seven to two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine.
Speaker 3: And now here's your host, Leo Zeusser himself tied.
Speaker 1: Handon.
Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, and welcome. So yes, the sixteenth annual Mock
Speaker 4: Sessler Mark Draft. And what an exciting time it is
Speaker 4: because I'm twenty four hours from now. All the attention,
Speaker 4: it all heads out to Detroit, all heads out to
Speaker 4: Marshall Mathers.
Speaker 5: Universe, eight miles I didn't touch.
Speaker 4: But we're all intents and purposes. The center of the
Speaker 4: draft world right now is the Chris Westling podcast studio
Speaker 4: for mister Sessler's mock Draft. I cannot do this alone.
Speaker 4: I will not do this alone, so I have a
Speaker 4: co host. I'm gonna be frank with you. It's mostly
Speaker 4: for eye candy purposes. It's Greg Rosenthal.
Speaker 5: That is right.
Speaker 6: I have been working out like crazy personal trainer. Lack
Speaker 6: of knowledge, but huge guns.
Speaker 4: Massive pipes. But that's not all. That's not all. Also
Speaker 4: joining us, and this is important. A man who is
Speaker 4: quality control of this mock draft. H he's a man,
Speaker 4: he's a professional. He is Lance Zerline Lance.
Speaker 3: I noticed I didn't get any applause.
Speaker 4: So that there you are. That is here you are.
Speaker 3: I brought along some melotonin. Okay, melotonin just in case
Speaker 3: I get too excited about Mark's draft and I need
Speaker 3: to I need to take the edge off a little bit.
Speaker 6: Sounds like a man who doesn't like someone else coming
Speaker 6: on his corner, the draft expert corner.
Speaker 3: Look, let me just put it this way. I'm no
Speaker 3: Marlo Stanfield, but I will say this. I I remember,
Speaker 3: you know when when former athletes were in the space,
Speaker 3: or even guys who play now, and they get all upset.
Speaker 3: Who are these guys mock draft? And where did they
Speaker 3: ever play? What do they know? Who the hell's Melkiper anyway?
Speaker 3: You know that whole that whole thing, and always thought, well,
Speaker 3: that's dumb. But now that Mark's trying to crank out
Speaker 3: a mock draft, like who the hell is Mark Sessler
Speaker 3: to do these mock drafts, It's just kind of the
Speaker 3: same kind of thing. You know, when people encroach on
Speaker 3: your space, you don't love it.
Speaker 4: It's like when someone makes a copy of a VHS
Speaker 4: and then a copy of a VHS and then a
Speaker 4: copy of a VHS. The degradation at a certain level
Speaker 4: is it's almost like, can we watch it anywhere? Can
Speaker 4: we listen and without further ado, and what a way
Speaker 4: to set the table. It is the man of the hour.
Speaker 4: Hopefully it comes in under an hour. Mark Sessler, well,
Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 7: This is starting exactly as I thought it would in
Speaker 7: terms of tone and complete disregard for the immense amount
Speaker 7: of work that I put into this.
Speaker 6: We've also put in work behind the scenes. Everyone should
Speaker 6: check us out on YouTube and you can see the
Speaker 6: visual of five different Mark Sessler's drafting at the same time.
Speaker 4: It's beautiful. Mark. I like that. That's how you come
Speaker 4: into this because in past years you have famously stated
Speaker 4: I believe last year, if you listened to last year's program,
Speaker 4: you said you put in one hour and I believe
Speaker 4: twelve minutes of research. And yet all we've heard for
Speaker 4: the past few weeks is you are turned into a machine.
Speaker 4: You're basically coming for Lance in a way because you
Speaker 4: have been watching tape, You've been grinding, so in a
Speaker 4: lot of ways you want to be legitimized within the industry,
Speaker 4: and I could tell so this means a lot. This
Speaker 4: is such an important mark draft for you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think an hour and twelve minutes is rich
Speaker 7: for what I did last year because I think I
Speaker 7: got up and made coffee and at one point took
Speaker 7: a brief nap.
Speaker 8: But like this time around, I have tried to, you know, go.
Speaker 7: Through these picks, pick by pick, and look for things
Speaker 7: that would excite me as well as what seems logical.
Speaker 4: Let's do it, all right, So this is very important
Speaker 4: you need to hit Let's check out last year's results.
Speaker 4: Oh really, Mark Sessler twenty twenty three. You got Bryce
Speaker 4: Young at one, you got Bijon to the Falcons. You
Speaker 4: got C. J. Stroud right, but he had him at
Speaker 4: twelve so Will Anderson, and you got Anderson and Stroud,
Speaker 4: but you had him in the wrong.
Speaker 5: Spots at Richardson right.
Speaker 4: Eam was a correct pick, all right, because obviously Jill
Speaker 4: Levis was second round, but name and Team was a.
Speaker 6: Correct We're gonna give him full credit for day in
Speaker 6: a guy's going third over all that didn't even get
Speaker 6: taken on.
Speaker 4: Take it up with past. Greg.
Speaker 8: You agreed, lest Yeah, Greg, this was something you already
Speaker 8: signed off in the first Yeah.
Speaker 3: Pen Hooker had had one leg last year.
Speaker 5: Right that past.
Speaker 6: Greg is one of my least favorite people. Okay, but yeah,
Speaker 6: you got to beat.
Speaker 5: Five or no, you have to.
Speaker 4: We're gonna rewrite that. You have to have it within
Speaker 4: the first round. You know, Will Levis going in the
Speaker 4: sixth round to the Titans isn't the same as Will
Speaker 4: Levis going fourth over No, I agree with that.
Speaker 7: I think it got so bleak that we amended the
Speaker 7: rules during our lab show.
Speaker 4: Okay, right, so that's last year. But this is this year,
Speaker 4: and this is a different mark and Lance, you're gonna
Speaker 4: see that. And what starts this episode is we get
Speaker 4: to the first pick. Right now, what started as an
Speaker 4: exercise almost mocking the industry, now he's marking the industry
Speaker 4: as a Sessler joint.
Speaker 7: Get to it the first overall pick. Okay, very little drama. Obviously,
Speaker 7: we're the first overall pick. The Chicago's Bears do it
Speaker 7: we've expected them to do for eons at this point,
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams quarterback USC.
Speaker 4: Okay, now, is there anyone out there, Lance, by the way,
Speaker 4: that is saying that that's not going to happen. No,
Speaker 4: that's nobody's out there.
Speaker 3: It's done.
Speaker 4: It's done.
Speaker 3: Well, the books mark is one for one.
Speaker 6: There's an NFL scouter two out there that it's like, well,
Speaker 6: we would take Jaden Williams supposedly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if I believe that one or two.
Speaker 4: I don't think we need to hold there any longer.
Speaker 4: Let's move to the second overall pick, the Washington commanders.
Speaker 7: I think the events of the last couple of weeks
Speaker 7: make this slightly mysterious if you're into like chatter and
Speaker 7: talking points and offenses and who's an alpha and who's
Speaker 7: not an alpha. But the Washington commanders at number two
Speaker 7: stick with what we've heard. They go with Jaden Daniels
Speaker 7: quarterback Lsu.
Speaker 4: Now we got the thumbs up from Lance, so you're
Speaker 4: not reading into any Lance Jayden didn't like the idea
Speaker 4: that he's at top golf with like twelve other guys.
Speaker 3: No, I think that Jade and Daniels, well, he may
Speaker 3: not like to hang out with a bunch of other quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I don't care. As long as he's the only quarterback
Speaker 3: that's going to start for Washington. They're going to take.
Speaker 4: All right, moving on to number three?
Speaker 8: All right, number three?
Speaker 7: And you know, I try to please the people the
Speaker 7: matter to me inside this industry on the show, and
Speaker 7: that seems like.
Speaker 4: A mistake, right lance, pleasing the people who matter to you.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's what the insiders do the name namely
Speaker 7: Greg for the sake of the just namely Greg.
Speaker 8: But Greg has been hot on the.
Speaker 7: Tail of New England Patriots their third overall pick, Drake May,
Speaker 7: quarterback North Carolina.
Speaker 8: It's also just logical. I think this is where where
Speaker 8: they're going to.
Speaker 7: You're hearing a lot of chatter that the Patriots really
Speaker 7: dig Drake May too.
Speaker 3: Mark Sessler proverbial people please it will.
Speaker 6: This feels like the first you know, where the draft
Speaker 6: really starts unless they Washington Shaccess doesn't take Daniel's lance.
Speaker 5: As we get close, like where you where are you? Feeling?
Speaker 5: Is gonna happen?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go right player, wrong team. I think May
Speaker 3: goes three, but I'm gonna put them either with the
Speaker 3: Giants or the Vikings in this spot. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to give you the entire thing. You're gonna have to
Speaker 3: read my MOK to find out what I'm meant that.
Speaker 5: You must do that? What what as?
Speaker 6: This would drive me crazy if they just assume they
Speaker 6: and get some other quarterbacks some other time.
Speaker 5: That's it. I'm out forever.
Speaker 4: The fourth pick, now, this is a hotly debated pick
Speaker 4: about who's gonna make it? Right now, it's the Cardinals.
Speaker 4: Does it stay that way? Martin?
Speaker 7: It does not, and you're gonna have your gonna trade
Speaker 7: fans that say, wait a minute, you don't take Marvin Harrison.
Speaker 8: What are you doing here?
Speaker 7: But the Cardinals make the trade that a lot of
Speaker 7: people have presupposed could happen with the Vikings. They get
Speaker 7: eleven and twenty three, and the Vikings move up and
Speaker 7: Kevin O'Connell gets his guy, JJ McCarthy, quarterback Michigan.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4: Is that what we're with?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm fine with it. I'm fine with that. I
Speaker 3: think Arizona now has three first round picks. They do, so,
Speaker 3: you know, obviously they have to, uh, they got to
Speaker 3: figure out what they're gonna do with three first round picks.
Speaker 3: I think they'd have to trade up. But for now,
Speaker 3: I'm okay.
Speaker 8: He's gonna like some of what happens later on.
Speaker 4: Nice this would break my heart. This would mean that
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold's chances of actually starting UH for the Vike
Speaker 4: go way down. So I'm really hoping this does not occur,
Speaker 4: but I'm fully prepared for it.
Speaker 6: As we get closer to the draft, I do think
Speaker 6: it's worth wondering, are we sure that there are multiple
Speaker 6: teams that want JJ McCarthy this much? Now if the
Speaker 6: Patriots don't take May, or maybe they make the trade
Speaker 6: with the Vikings and the Vikings go up and they
Speaker 6: take May at three? Like either way, do the Vikings
Speaker 6: even feel like they need to go up that high
Speaker 6: to get JJ McCarthy, I think is a fair question.
Speaker 6: Is there a chance he would even follow the way
Speaker 6: down to eleven? I feel like that's higher than people
Speaker 6: are trying to.
Speaker 8: Well, you got the Giants hanging out there, so you
Speaker 8: can't get.
Speaker 4: To ud all right? Number five? You have the Los
Speaker 4: Angeles Superchargers on the clock. Do they stay there? We
Speaker 4: have a trade another one?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh my good?
Speaker 8: And this is not me wish casting.
Speaker 7: I can't think of a more all in team in
Speaker 7: the NFL that basically has like a one year contract
Speaker 7: with the football gods just to make it happen right now.
Speaker 8: That is the New York Jets.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 7: And we know they like to wheel and deal and
Speaker 7: make moves. And they move up to number five and
Speaker 7: they take Marvin Harrison Junior.
Speaker 8: They don't care. They're going to go for it.
Speaker 4: Now. That would be as a Jet fan, I would
Speaker 4: be over the moon to now, what are we giving up?
Speaker 4: I would like to know. But you know what I think,
Speaker 4: to Joe Douglas's credit, as much as we are talking
Speaker 4: about and I agree that they are all in on
Speaker 4: this year because everything is on the line for the
Speaker 4: organization and how could it go wrong? But to Joe
Speaker 4: Douglas's credit, we have not seen him make a move
Speaker 4: where it's like he's selling the farm because he doesn't
Speaker 4: care because he's not there yet. This would start to
Speaker 4: edge into that territory in less lands. It doesn't matter
Speaker 4: what they're giving up because Harrison is that good? Is
Speaker 4: he that good? Is this a superstar waiting to just
Speaker 4: enter the league?
Speaker 3: I think he's a really good player, the chance to
Speaker 3: be a Pro Bowl player. And you know what I
Speaker 3: like about Mark here is that he talks about the
Speaker 3: all in nature of this pick. They don't even have
Speaker 3: a second rounder this year, so basically you're trading up
Speaker 3: and you're going to give up a big pick next
Speaker 3: year as well. Basically, if you're Joe Douglas said, if
Speaker 3: you're gonna fire me, I'm taking all my picks with me.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 6: Or you're not really specifying at all what you're doing.
Speaker 6: And as a fellow mock drafter, Lance, what do you
Speaker 6: think of that? Just in terms of the concise analysis too,
Speaker 6: that Mark is bringing to me, Greg, what is wrong
Speaker 6: with you?
Speaker 3: I mean, I love going for with Harrison. I'm not
Speaker 3: sure how you're gonna make that one. I just for me,
Speaker 3: this just smacks of I like the phrase he used,
Speaker 3: wish casting, because I think that is what this is.
Speaker 3: Despite his protestation, I was looking for you. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say no, no, I'm sorry, dog. That's a
Speaker 3: note for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and in general lance to be taken seriously in
Speaker 4: this world, wish casting is probably not something you want
Speaker 4: to do in general, right.
Speaker 3: Right, right? You can't just go through life just hoping
Speaker 3: and wishing. You know. There's an old saying in the
Speaker 3: movie have you ever seen the movie? Have you ever
Speaker 3: seen the movie? Think it's this Boy's Life. Have you
Speaker 3: ever seen This Boy's Life with Roberts de Niro and DiCaprio,
Speaker 3: Leo DiCaprio. It's one of the most most i think
Speaker 3: the most underrated movies ever. And there's a phrase in
Speaker 3: there crap in one hand and hope in the other,
Speaker 3: and see which one gets full first. Or maybe it
Speaker 3: was a different movie, but it's my favorite quote us
Speaker 3: because it's true.
Speaker 8: I'm going to ask you a question.
Speaker 7: Who's got an entire episode based around their mock trapped
Speaker 7: about to blow up on you know, iTunes and where
Speaker 7: if you've got your podcasts and YouTube as well?
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah yeakay?
Speaker 8: Well who else?
Speaker 4: But okay? And by the way, I caught that little
Speaker 4: subtle lowering of expectations there by lance for Marvin Harrison Junior. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know. He was like, Solid's got a chance to
Speaker 4: be a pro players Like, okay, we see you, we
Speaker 4: see you.
Speaker 3: Hell not an all time I'm not saying all time. Great,
Speaker 3: You're not playing with Aaron Rodgers for one year.
Speaker 4: Like Tyrod Taylor is a Pro Bowl player, right, I
Speaker 4: mean that saying yeah, anyway, let's move on, we keep rolling.
Speaker 4: So we got two trades and the top five are
Speaker 4: any of the big qbs left, the Big no or No.
Speaker 4: So now the New York Giants, who I think we're
Speaker 4: hoping one of those guys might be.
Speaker 7: I think they were hoping someone would be there. I
Speaker 7: think they probably made have picked up the phone. And
Speaker 7: we're you know, out priced, out leveraged by the Vikings.
Speaker 8: You know, the Giants have a lot to choose.
Speaker 7: Here though, and I think we need to go to
Speaker 7: one of the greatest giant podcasts out there. You know,
Speaker 7: we don't like to promote other shows, but this is different.
Speaker 7: It's Christopher Walkins Walking with Giants.
Speaker 4: Take a look.
Speaker 2: So many people want to know who are the Giants
Speaker 2: are gonna choose? I'll tell you now, Elak Neighbors, LSU
Speaker 2: wide receiver, six foot.
Speaker 4: Nothing, two hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be good. I think.
Speaker 4: Wow, mister Walkin, thank you and check out Walking with
Speaker 4: Giants anywhere you get your podcasts. Lanson, were you aware
Speaker 4: of that podcast? That actor? Iconic act there, Christopher walking
Speaker 4: getting up there in years but still covering the Giants
Speaker 4: and watching the Giants very closely. He likes the idea
Speaker 4: of Malik Neighbors from LSU going number six.
Speaker 3: And no idea Christopher was a Giants fan.
Speaker 4: But wow, not only is Lance going toe to toe
Speaker 4: with Mark Sessler, also with the voice of Atn's.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a It's an incredible showing by Lance so far.
Speaker 6: I think this could be a savvy move as we're
Speaker 6: getting closer for what it's worth, a lot of a
Speaker 6: lot of buzz out there from Giants, reporters, Giants everything that, like, actually,
Speaker 6: if May is gone there, they might not be as
Speaker 6: into taking a quarterback as people think, and that would
Speaker 6: make that would make them more likely. You think that's accurate.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's actually accurate. And here's the other thing.
Speaker 3: I think that if you draft Molik Neighbors, this is
Speaker 3: what I like to call this the third act for
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. We had the first act, the second act,
Speaker 3: or actually this would probably be yeah, yeah, the fourth.
Speaker 3: I think we'd be on the fourth act, and what
Speaker 3: is what would be known as the comeback. I'm comeback
Speaker 3: inside of the second contract.
Speaker 7: Every classic play is built off a three act structure,
Speaker 7: so four acts feels excessive.
Speaker 4: For days, Yeah, his entire career resets every year with
Speaker 4: a whole different set of expectations. It seems weird, all right,
Speaker 4: number seven. Now, this one is on my radar mark
Speaker 4: just because everyone seems certain of the pick, and when
Speaker 4: that happens, sometimes the mock industry and the rest of
Speaker 4: us end up looking foolish. But what do you think happened?
Speaker 4: I'm with you.
Speaker 7: It bothered me to even type this with this, I
Speaker 7: think this is Bill Callahan telling saying, I'm daddy, I
Speaker 7: choose who goes here. I'm running your offensive line the Titans.
Speaker 8: At number seven.
Speaker 4: Do you think the offensive line coach is running the
Speaker 4: draft room.
Speaker 7: It's the father of the head coach, So yeah, I do.
Speaker 7: I think he's probably got some say here. But it's
Speaker 7: a neat daddy issues there.
Speaker 8: Sure.
Speaker 7: Joe Alto is six foot seven three and twenty two pounds.
Speaker 7: He used to pick at number seven for the Titans.
Speaker 7: It just makes sense if they do something else, I
Speaker 7: think be a relatively massive surprise to anyone out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lance, is this being overly simplified that this is
Speaker 4: definitely you.
Speaker 3: Know, if Joe alt is still there, he will be
Speaker 3: the pick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Daniel Jeremiah, your your friend of me. On the
Speaker 6: Move the Sticks Podcast, Lance said on Wednesday, that he
Speaker 6: just keeps hearing teams are trading up for tackles, that
Speaker 6: he thinks there's gonna be a lot of trade up
Speaker 6: for now. Maybe it's all is certainly tackle one or
Speaker 6: is expected to be, and there's there's three or four
Speaker 6: that could go in the top fifteen.
Speaker 4: All right, the next pick, Yeah, I'll go ahead.
Speaker 3: No, I think I mean, I just think that's it.
Speaker 3: I think teams have we've all put Joe all to seven.
Speaker 3: It's the one that makes the most sense. That's one
Speaker 3: of the biggest dangers you can have in the draft
Speaker 3: is have everyone know who you potentially are gonna take,
Speaker 3: because then you become an easy trade ahead of target.
Speaker 6: All right, I mean they could trade with the Chargers
Speaker 6: seven to five. Take out there.
Speaker 4: Perhaps, Okay, we're gonna get through the top ten. We're
Speaker 4: gonna take a break and say go by to Lance
Speaker 4: because Lance has serious person stuff he does.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is a farce.
Speaker 4: He seems to be hinting at that number eight. So
Speaker 4: this is where just again everyone's just assuming, Okay, here
Speaker 4: are the Falcons, no defensive players off the board, So
Speaker 4: this is where the first guy goes. Do you think
Speaker 4: that right?
Speaker 7: Like Dallas Turner just staring at his phone thinking it's
Speaker 7: gonna ring. Well, it's not gonna ring because we have
Speaker 7: a trade. Ah, And this is where I start to
Speaker 7: do those that I want to do. And the Kansas
Speaker 7: City Chiefs, who sit in turmoil at the wide receiver position,
Speaker 7: talk about another team behind the Jets that are equal
Speaker 7: with the Jets, or more and more in terms of
Speaker 7: proving it or all in right now it might be
Speaker 7: your last year with Travis Kelce.
Speaker 8: You want to go get that offense. You want to
Speaker 8: deal what you've been doing before.
Speaker 7: They trade up to number eight with the Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 7: and they get Romadunze wide receiver Washington, and you talk
Speaker 7: about an offense that looks transformed with this pick ready
Speaker 7: to go right away.
Speaker 6: Rookie Lance is covering him, pressing his temple. Speak to
Speaker 6: us about what your feeling lands right now?
Speaker 3: I mean, Army wants to just hang up on this
Speaker 3: thing right now. So I like that. Mark says. You
Speaker 3: know what I like to do when I do mock
Speaker 3: drafts is I try to think like the teams. And
Speaker 3: I said, well, now what would this GM do?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: What is their history? What do they in this way
Speaker 3: my max take five to seven hours. Mark says, this
Speaker 3: is what I want to do. I'm gonna take over.
Speaker 3: So Mark thinks, what would Mark do if he were
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs trade up, like, like, my job's not
Speaker 3: on the line, I'm going to give away three first
Speaker 3: rounders apparently, because I'm going to go from thirty two
Speaker 3: to eight. I don't even know if they make the
Speaker 3: draft chart. I don't even know if the draft chart
Speaker 3: even if they even have that as a possibility. Mark
Speaker 3: eight is fourteen hundred. We've got to match up nine
Speaker 3: hundred more points. That's going to be more than a
Speaker 3: first rounder next year. You're basically giving up a second
Speaker 3: this year, a first next year.
Speaker 5: We've seen it now, we've seen it. We've seen it
Speaker 5: a couple of times.
Speaker 4: Sam, I think, and Jones and fairness, I think what
Speaker 4: Lance is also getting at, what the way he's the
Speaker 4: draft trade, the points system. I think he's indirectly saying, Mark,
Speaker 4: did you even do any of this in your head
Speaker 4: before throwing out something that it seems irresponsible?
Speaker 7: Almost in all I view trades and future assets and
Speaker 7: anything's attached to the salary cap at this point as
Speaker 7: just sort of a mythical uh blockade, and I think
Speaker 7: this is possible.
Speaker 8: So again, this is my world.
Speaker 6: It is spicy though that the Chiefs and the Bills,
Speaker 6: the two defining teams the last you know, five years,
Speaker 6: both have this vibe that maybe one of them trades
Speaker 6: up for a wide receiver makes this draft more fun.
Speaker 4: And I would say being unconventional doesn't mean you're wrong, Mark,
Speaker 4: so the quote there, I support this one.
Speaker 8: I'm also not wrong yet it hasn't happened.
Speaker 4: This is where we start to do what I want
Speaker 4: to do. I like that. That's like, that's you're a
Speaker 4: You're an iconoclass when it comes to this industry, all right, like.
Speaker 5: The part in the movie where you break bad.
Speaker 6: Essentially Michael Douglass just start it's losing his mind.
Speaker 4: You're our citizens of Lasians. I think it's fair to
Speaker 4: say you're the bad boy of the mock industrial. I'll
Speaker 4: take Plex number nine, the Chicago Bears with their second
Speaker 4: pick at the top ten.
Speaker 7: I think people have thought the Bears would go get
Speaker 7: their wide receiver here, but I think what they do to,
Speaker 7: you know, settle down Eberflus, who's like, will anyone ever
Speaker 7: give me assets? And stop trading Roquan Smith and everyone
Speaker 7: else with any talent off my defense, they take the
Speaker 7: player that people thought the Falcons would, Dallas Turner Edge
Speaker 7: out of Alabama. You give him a piece on defense
Speaker 7: to improve that pass rush to.
Speaker 5: Your top edge, Lance, I'm just curious.
Speaker 3: No, I've got Jared Verse, but it's very close. I
Speaker 3: think Dallas Turner goes before Verse. So I'm fine with this.
Speaker 3: Finally a respite from insanity.
Speaker 4: All right, Let's then move to number ten because I'm
Speaker 4: curious if you're gonna be okay with this one. So,
Speaker 4: of course, in Mark's world, the Jets and Chargers traded.
Speaker 4: So now it's the Charger sitting at number ten, and
Speaker 4: what do they do with the pick?
Speaker 7: Well, they need a wide receiver, we know that, but
Speaker 7: it's Jim harbaught. So it's like, who does Jim Harbaugh
Speaker 7: want to take? It really fills out another aspect of
Speaker 7: this offense. This person can catch the ball too. It's
Speaker 7: brock Bauers tight end. Georgia, m what do you think now?
Speaker 4: But Bowers has been widely mocked to the Jets staying
Speaker 4: home at ten, but in this case he goes ten,
Speaker 4: but to a different team. Lance, is that logical to you, Well.
Speaker 3: This is the genius of a Mark Sessler is that
Speaker 3: he takes a look and he even said, we need
Speaker 3: a pass catcher. You don't see you need a wide
Speaker 3: receiver anymore. You need a pass catcher. You need a weapon.
Speaker 3: And so Mark is correctly identified that Bowers is a weapon.
Speaker 3: Don't put the label on wide receiver a tight end.
Speaker 3: We know the chargers need a weapon, we know they
Speaker 3: need an offensive lineman. In this case, they got a weapon,
Speaker 3: but he's one of one. He's the only tight end
Speaker 3: going to first and maybe the second round too. So
Speaker 3: in this particular case, I think the value is pretty
Speaker 3: good for a guy who I considered to be a
Speaker 3: weapon at tight end.
Speaker 5: I love that, and you needed that.
Speaker 4: It was a good one.
Speaker 1: Mark.
Speaker 8: That's a good way to end our corrase like that.
Speaker 8: That felt good.
Speaker 6: It's it's why I haven't totally mentally ruled out Rock
Speaker 6: Bowers at at nine, I'm actually looking down at another
Speaker 6: competing mock draft.
Speaker 5: This is a new entrant into the mix.
Speaker 6: Oh, the Walker Rosenthal twenty twenty four mock draft. That
Speaker 6: is my nine year old son with zero help. Yeah,
Speaker 6: we put this together weeks ago and hours and we
Speaker 6: will compare who gets more right.
Speaker 5: I'll send it out on it.
Speaker 6: But he had Bowers going to the Bears, which I
Speaker 6: thought was a creative little wrinkle. I know cole Comet
Speaker 6: is there, but they need weapons. They could add a
Speaker 6: second time.
Speaker 3: Before I leave, real quick? Can you just get me
Speaker 3: because I may want to this is pretty fun? Can
Speaker 3: you give me eleven? Real quick? Can I get just
Speaker 3: a little teaser on the Wow, it's funny, It's funny
Speaker 3: steel here, It's funny.
Speaker 4: Wow, it's funny.
Speaker 1: Way Lance.
Speaker 4: Lance is saying that because I was gonna suggest, can
Speaker 4: we just hang for one more pick? Because I want
Speaker 4: Lance's thoughts on the Las Vegas Raiders being on the clock.
Speaker 3: They maybe it will go later.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, so there's a trade. That's how they get
Speaker 7: on the clock. The Cardinals had this pick from the Vikings.
Speaker 7: The Cardinals are willing to move down to thirteen and
Speaker 7: allow the Raiders to come up to eleven, where they
Speaker 7: take Michael Pennix Junior.
Speaker 8: They need a quarterback out of Washington. They have been
Speaker 8: linked together.
Speaker 1: There's it.
Speaker 8: There's supposed interest. Who knows that that's all lies or not?
Speaker 4: You have it appears to me you have injured Lanceerlin
Speaker 4: that choice. In fact, he's gone. He's oh my god,
Speaker 4: Lance is gone. He just disconnected the chat.
Speaker 7: I don't blame I didn't you know, I didn't like
Speaker 7: ship Ryan leave Junior to any of these teams.
Speaker 8: These are good players for the most part.
Speaker 4: But just to clarify, Lance indeed cut off his communication
Speaker 4: after that. He had a look of this that was yeah,
Speaker 4: that was the box was gone. I don't know if
Speaker 4: Mark that wiped him out and he fell.
Speaker 8: Can I explain why?
Speaker 7: I like before we just like float down this avenue
Speaker 7: of how can this happen?
Speaker 8: Like the Broncos have the Broncos have the next pick.
Speaker 7: They do, so the Raiders are hopscotching their biggest, one
Speaker 7: of their biggest rivals to take the like the next
Speaker 7: quarterback you'd logically take, and they've gotten. These are two
Speaker 7: teams with nothing at quarterbacks. So do you sit there
Speaker 7: and watch the Broncos go take Michael Pennix and then
Speaker 7: you were sitting there with nothing at quarterback?
Speaker 6: He seems to be the most Raiders e quarterback possible,
Speaker 6: big arm, throw deep like they love that. I think
Speaker 6: that the issue would be a lot of people feel
Speaker 6: like he is being really pushed up to even being
Speaker 6: talked about as a first round talent because of the injuries,
Speaker 6: because of the time, but also just because he's not
Speaker 6: incredibly accurate where to me, it feels like if they
Speaker 6: are trading up from thirteen, that feels a little I mean,
Speaker 6: that's a wretch.
Speaker 7: It's two spots. There's a logical reason you're hopscotching the
Speaker 7: team that seems desperate to take whoever is sitting there
Speaker 7: at quarterback.
Speaker 6: I feel like he is more likely to get taken
Speaker 6: in round two than he is in the top fifteen.
Speaker 5: But that's just my.
Speaker 8: Well Chad Ryder thought the same thing.
Speaker 7: But I mean, how often are quarterbacks overvalued in this process?
Speaker 7: So I don't know again, is it? Is it interesting?
Speaker 7: Are Raiders fans sitting like that caption.
Speaker 6: My Walker's got him going to the Vikings at twenty two?
Speaker 6: They actually stick and pick and they have penix.
Speaker 4: There are we going to do this for every No,
Speaker 4: I just pick that penex especially just this is the
Speaker 4: minute the.
Speaker 8: Minute, the minute le Lance goes, we got I got
Speaker 8: a nine year old on my back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well like you to Walker is like Lance to you?
Speaker 6: You suddenly don't.
Speaker 8: Like, I don't know comer, but that's I'm not sure,
Speaker 8: it's the cycle of life.
Speaker 4: Probably won't beat Walker, so I think I think in fairness.
Speaker 4: Greg as the co host here first, so we should
Speaker 4: talk beforehand. This is a big stage for Mark, and
Speaker 4: we've talked. We talked about it on our most recent show.
Speaker 4: The goal here is to legitimize Mark. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 4: having a nine year old serve as his foil on
Speaker 4: top of Lance, which I thought was more constructive in
Speaker 4: this idea of like how do we It didn't go
Speaker 4: exactly how I wanted because I wanted Lance to be
Speaker 4: more of a helping hand to you, but he seemed,
Speaker 4: I mean, he hung up on us. For Christ's sake,
Speaker 4: he was put off. So now to throw in a
Speaker 4: nine year old potentially feasting on you is not what
Speaker 4: we're looking for. We're trying to make because, like Mark said,
Speaker 4: a big hit mock draft for Mark draft for mock
Speaker 4: Sessler is a big hit for around the NFL.
Speaker 7: So I will say one thing though, it's kind of
Speaker 7: like picking up extra picks.
Speaker 6: A big Walker Rosenthal mock draft would be good for
Speaker 6: around the nf'd either my whole story nine year old
Speaker 6: but here either way. Now we're just taking more bites
Speaker 6: at the apple. One out of two is probably gonna
Speaker 6: do well.
Speaker 4: I feel like a hit for Mark in this mock
Speaker 4: is a hit for the group, A hit for Walker, Yeah,
Speaker 4: is a hit for Rosenctor. It's like what is and.
Speaker 7: I I respect children, and I respect their opinions and
Speaker 7: all that stuff, but like, you know, well, I'd be
Speaker 7: happy to see how you do.
Speaker 8: I mean, there's certainly some it's written in pencil.
Speaker 4: I mean, the genie's out of the bottle now Walker
Speaker 4: is involved.
Speaker 5: But I'll send it out.
Speaker 6: But there are some issues, including he doesn't appear to
Speaker 6: have all thirty two teams.
Speaker 5: There's only thirty one. That's a bit of all.
Speaker 4: But you never know that works out to your favor,
Speaker 4: that does Yeah, all right, let's take a break and
Speaker 4: when we come back, we hit pick number twelve. The
Speaker 4: Denver Broncos are on the clock or are they all right?
Speaker 4: We are back and Casha missed it. We just went
Speaker 4: through the first eleven picks of the mock Sessler Mark Draft.
Speaker 4: Thank you again to Lance Zerlin who uh you could
Speaker 4: find him everywhere NFL Network, NFL dot com. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: he has his final mock draft going up live on
Speaker 4: NFL dot com today Wednesday, so make sure you check
Speaker 4: that out and thank you to Lance for joining us.
Speaker 4: Even if it was a little bit more hostile then.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we were looking for Jacoby Brissett kind of
Speaker 6: mentoring Sam Howe, and we got Joe Flacco icing out
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 5: But it was fun.
Speaker 8: I'm still sitting here unaffected by it all. That's good
Speaker 8: and you need to be. Yeah, I feel completely.
Speaker 4: I feel nothing, because I think you need to have
Speaker 4: iron guts to succeed in this very I mean, look
Speaker 4: look at it. How many mock drafts are on NFL
Speaker 4: dot com.
Speaker 5: At least four?
Speaker 7: Well, an absurd amount. Actually if you say more than that, right,
Speaker 7: it's an absurd Oh. I think it was like maybe
Speaker 7: six seven.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I think I think there's forty seven.
Speaker 6: It's multiple, I'm not kidding, even just different people. Yeah,
Speaker 6: there's probably over ten. But and then they have version
Speaker 6: five through six. Well that's different. I mean just the
Speaker 6: number of individuals.
Speaker 4: I think a wide net, and that's the ground that
Speaker 4: we're looking to edge into here at NFL Media. We
Speaker 4: are part of NFL Media, correct, We're.
Speaker 8: On according to reports.
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's move on now the next up, next
Speaker 4: pick is who's on the board.
Speaker 7: Well, so the Broncos were sitting here at twelve, but
Speaker 7: now it's like they can't get their quarterback and they're like,
Speaker 7: you know what, we have a lot to rebuild from
Speaker 7: after this post Russell of Wilson apocalypse.
Speaker 8: So they're open to a move.
Speaker 4: And by the way, isn't it funny that the Broncos
Speaker 4: go from one Wilson that nobody wants to go near
Speaker 4: radioactive and they trade for another Wilson and Zach that
Speaker 4: nobody wants to go near is radioactive? What is up
Speaker 4: with that name? Stay away from the Wilson Denver Broncos.
Speaker 7: I don't like that at all. But they're going to
Speaker 7: be staying away from this pick. Let's take a look.
Speaker 4: Oh another trade very active.
Speaker 2: Oh no, there's been a trade.
Speaker 9: The Arizona Cardinals via the Denver Broncos have traded for
Speaker 9: Alumis Yewa fashion new offensive tackle Penn State junior, six six,
Speaker 9: three hundred and seventeen pounds.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, Jason, my wife less podcast.
Speaker 7: Is a cardio fanatics. So yes, there was a lot
Speaker 7: of masculine energy right now.
Speaker 4: Seem to be losing his mind there. So there you go.
Speaker 4: They go and get an offensive tackle.
Speaker 6: Greg would be disappointed if they just take another tackle.
Speaker 6: They keep taking tax.
Speaker 8: That's true, but you talked about teams, you know, moving.
Speaker 4: Up to do it, and this seems a little beyond
Speaker 4: the Cardinals pay grade in terms of football abilities behind
Speaker 4: the scenes. So they're trading out of the fourth well,
Speaker 4: they did this last year and then they're trading. They're
Speaker 4: trading up.
Speaker 8: They have three first round picks.
Speaker 4: This is what this is what I predicted they're gonna
Speaker 4: do it. They're going to overthink this whole thing and
Speaker 4: end up even though Lance didn't seem so hot about
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison, they're gonna instead of getting a superstar wide
Speaker 4: receiver for Kyler Murray finally seeing once and for all
Speaker 4: if that guy is the truth, forever and ever, we're
Speaker 4: gonna end up with an offensive lineman not even the
Speaker 4: projected number one.
Speaker 8: I understand your ire, but let's let the process play out.
Speaker 4: So lack of trust.
Speaker 7: But I think also, like Monty Austin, Ford is a
Speaker 7: very different world than what we were frowning on about
Speaker 7: the Cardinals. For a long time, and I think actually
Speaker 7: last draft he had one of the savviest drafts. And
Speaker 7: I think he shows right here that he can move
Speaker 7: up and down board and do what he needs to do.
Speaker 8: Because they got the next pick too.
Speaker 4: All right, oh, number thirteen, the Cardinals on the board.
Speaker 8: And here is what they do at number thirteen. Let
Speaker 8: stay right home.
Speaker 9: Another trade. The Arizona Cardinals via the.
Speaker 10: Las Vegas Raiders have traded for Laatu Latu Edge UCLA
Speaker 10: senior six five, two hundred and sixty five bounds.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: I think no, I think we are.
Speaker 8: He seems to lose it, Jason.
Speaker 5: He likes that better than the tackle. You got a.
Speaker 8: Tackle, you got an edge.
Speaker 7: Those are two of the more expensive positions to try
Speaker 7: to stock, so you got them both on rookie contracts.
Speaker 4: Very nice. Are you aware that you win titles in
Speaker 4: the trenches? I think that could be there's an argument
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 5: Thank you, good value there too, Love Latto.
Speaker 4: That is I came up with that you win in
Speaker 4: the trenches.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna let Greg announce this one because he's this
Speaker 8: is his.
Speaker 4: Pets team, his team. Okay, the number fourteen pick in
Speaker 4: the first round.
Speaker 6: I think that Saints fans will be happy that they
Speaker 6: didn't have to trade up to take their tackle. Polis
Speaker 6: Fuyaga from Oregon State. Some people think might move inside
Speaker 6: to guard, but Saints need help everywhere.
Speaker 7: Little Chalky though, because everyone thinks they're gonna take a tackle,
Speaker 7: but I think they are and they seed to do
Speaker 7: it all every year.
Speaker 4: Now, as a football fan, I'm gonna say, here's the
Speaker 4: thing about the first round picks. When you go get
Speaker 4: the tackle. It's so important obviously to have stability at
Speaker 4: those positions, especially left tackle, but you never come out
Speaker 4: of the first round like pump in your fist. It's like,
Speaker 4: not only is it not a glory position when you
Speaker 4: have a first round pick and you take a tackle.
Speaker 4: They are, I mean all positions are, but they're so
Speaker 4: boom and bust, these big men. And maybe maybe he's
Speaker 4: a player, maybe he's out a league in three years.
Speaker 4: Hopefully you're not gonna like than Dan, because there could
Speaker 4: be like seven in the first round. I probably won't
Speaker 4: and a lot of people think, like a guy like Fuaga,
Speaker 4: he might have been tackle one in last year's class,
Speaker 4: that there's four or five of these guys that would
Speaker 4: have no you know, I invented the saying championships are
Speaker 4: won in the trenches, so don't don't get it mixed up. Yes,
Speaker 4: I understand the importance of tea. I mean, but the
Speaker 4: excitement level when your team takes a tackle is it's
Speaker 4: usually a little muted. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Yes, they They also traded up just two years ago
Speaker 6: in the first round for Trevor Penning uh, an individual
Speaker 6: who they would refuse to play no matter how many
Speaker 6: tackles got injured last year, so they actually had given
Speaker 6: up a first round pick that turned into a top
Speaker 6: ten pick that was Jalen Carter and their second round
Speaker 6: pick this year. They're still paying for that trade and
Speaker 6: they need to fill the spot. So that was a
Speaker 6: disastrous trade for the Saints.
Speaker 4: Tricky, tricky, limis tricky, tricky, tricky.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 4: Up next, Oh my goodness, more business being done.
Speaker 8: Absolute.
Speaker 7: I think this is going to be wild, And that's
Speaker 7: what I'm trying to plug into here. The Cults sit
Speaker 7: at fifteen, but something happens. Let's go to the tape.
Speaker 12: Sub losers have a trade. The Los Angeles Rams have
Speaker 12: acquired the fifteenth overall pick from the Colts, who moved
Speaker 12: to nineteen and get some other shit do. With the
Speaker 12: fifteenth pick in the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, the
Speaker 12: Los Angeles Rams select Texas linebacker Byron Murphy the second
Speaker 12: and I can confirm that this is a thousand percent
Speaker 12: accurate because Cessler is never wrong.
Speaker 3: Miss you guys.
Speaker 4: It came so easily off the tongue calling us losers.
Speaker 6: Natural organic, and that's why I feel bad for, you know,
Speaker 6: doing something I would do if Ricky was here. Right there,
Speaker 6: just pointing out maybe one thousand percent was a little
Speaker 6: high in terms of the accuracy because Byron Murphy is
Speaker 6: a defensive tackle, not a linebacker or more of an
Speaker 6: interior pass right he is, Dan, I mean.
Speaker 4: She's not here to defend herself. And yet Greg, you
Speaker 4: take it.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying for the show, I thought she did
Speaker 7: a lot of good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought I enjoyed it. I liked though user
Speaker 4: by Erica Tay, I loved it. And yet you come
Speaker 4: off the top just as you do with her.
Speaker 5: You have information.
Speaker 7: Tick, which is annoying multiple people. But Byron Murphy in
Speaker 7: a post Aaron Donald world, like this is one guy
Speaker 7: watching he would fit And I could see the Rams.
Speaker 7: Now they got this first round pick, like, we're going
Speaker 7: to do a little something.
Speaker 6: I feel like they're going to do something, whether it's
Speaker 6: trade back, trade up, that's what the Rams do.
Speaker 4: I like the idea of FM picks continuing in perpetuity
Speaker 4: for the Rams and never picking the first ever again.
Speaker 4: But this would end that streak. It has been since
Speaker 4: Jared Goff. Jared Goff, it's like thirty four, not thirty four,
Speaker 4: but he's like thirty thirty two years old and absurd
Speaker 4: the last time that the Rams took at number one
Speaker 4: in the draft. Okay, here we go. Now we move
Speaker 4: to number sixteen. Now what's going on.
Speaker 8: Mark, Well, we have another trade.
Speaker 6: Jesus, it says nine trades in the last thirteen picks.
Speaker 4: You got a little it's gonna here now with the trades.
Speaker 7: No, it calms down a little bit from here. But
Speaker 7: I think there's gonna be a lot of movement the Seahawks.
Speaker 7: You know, I thought I kind of thought in my
Speaker 7: own little world that maybe there was a universe where
Speaker 7: they maybe took Michael Pennox junior here, but that no.
Speaker 7: But even in general, they're willing to move the Falcons
Speaker 7: who went down with that Chiefs trade. They want to
Speaker 7: come back up and do what they were gonna do before,
Speaker 7: and they take one of my favorite players in the draft,
Speaker 7: Jared Verse edge from Florida State.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 8: A total headache.
Speaker 7: He's gonna he's gonna that Jonathan Abraham situation and throw
Speaker 7: it up to Jonathan Abraham.
Speaker 4: The Curse of John Abraham. Folks, it's been a decade.
Speaker 4: If John Abraham's on your team, you will go at
Speaker 4: least ten years immediately after his departure without having a
Speaker 4: proven edge rusher. And they're looking to stop that with
Speaker 4: Jared Verse. All right, number seventeen.
Speaker 8: All right, some of these get a little more normalized.
Speaker 7: So the Jacksonville Jaguars, they're happy to take the first
Speaker 7: cornerback off the board and they choose Terry and Arnold
Speaker 7: from Alabama.
Speaker 8: Good player.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that cornerback is slipping a little bit better. Bean
Speaker 6: Mitchell not been drafted, But I feel.
Speaker 5: Like it's possible.
Speaker 4: I feel like it seems possible, and I do feel
Speaker 4: like the Jaguars would be thrilled to have either one
Speaker 4: of those guys faults. And you know, I do have
Speaker 4: to say that they are a team that could use
Speaker 4: a little offensive right now, right off the way last
Speaker 4: year ended and losing Calvin Ridley, a guy.
Speaker 6: I would think Brian Thomas junior if the board felt
Speaker 6: like this would be a consideration.
Speaker 5: At least for the absolutely no old makes sense.
Speaker 4: I think Jaguars fans would maybe be a touch mift
Speaker 4: if they don't come out of this with a weapon
Speaker 4: for Lawrence.
Speaker 8: But well, we know the down pick. Trent Balki's gonna
Speaker 8: do what he needs to do. We know that.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, all right?
Speaker 4: Next up the Cincinnati Bengals at eighteen.
Speaker 7: But the Bengals could go a couple of different ways here.
Speaker 7: They seem like a dark horse not to trade, but
Speaker 7: they I kind of thought they maybe were a perfect
Speaker 7: fit for someone like Brock Powers, but I don't think.
Speaker 7: I think at this point it is not going to them.
Speaker 7: Maybe a wide receiver, but they go Troy Patano interior
Speaker 7: offensive line. Washington considered by PFF the best overall athlete
Speaker 7: among the offensive line and very versatile.
Speaker 8: Play a number of different positions.
Speaker 7: I know they attacked offensive a line a lot in
Speaker 7: free agency a couple of years ago, but it didn't
Speaker 7: completely work out. And I don't know what's more important
Speaker 7: than making sure you don't lose Joe Burrow to injury
Speaker 7: number six.
Speaker 6: So that's what Look, no one's better at stepping up
Speaker 6: in the pocket than Joe Burrow. So you want to
Speaker 6: have a nice firm pocket like that, like that choice.
Speaker 8: You want to supple pocket and nice and firm, supple
Speaker 8: in firm.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, all right, that's good. I like that
Speaker 4: pick solid makes sense. I feel like they've been working
Speaker 4: on that line since uh burrows second season and maybe
Speaker 4: this guy brings the total step.
Speaker 6: They have plenty of needs, so they can go in
Speaker 6: a lot of direct Yeah, they do. Like guys from
Speaker 6: like teams from big schools that just played in the
Speaker 6: playoff game like that is very much often from the
Speaker 6: SEC that is their mo all right, next, all.
Speaker 7: Right, remember this is where the Cults are sitting at
Speaker 7: nineteen after the trade with the Rams.
Speaker 5: Who could they need?
Speaker 7: They have an absolute they have an absolute need. They
Speaker 7: have a very young secondary and I think they're very
Speaker 7: happy to have Queny and Mitchell wow Aldo cornerback. One
Speaker 7: of the best zone coverage guys in the league fall
Speaker 7: to them. They don't have a lot of it, like
Speaker 7: veteran presence there. They just need some solid guys they
Speaker 7: know that can produce out of the gate.
Speaker 8: They hope it's true with him.
Speaker 6: They are like team athleticism, team just take measurables and
Speaker 6: see what happens. They did it with their second round
Speaker 6: pick Juju Brent at cornerback last year. I feel like
Speaker 6: they need weapons, but they certainly could use a cornerback too.
Speaker 6: This feels like value. This is number twelve, the number
Speaker 6: twelve prospect and Daniel Jeremiah's big board, So I think
Speaker 6: there's I think if you are a team that is
Speaker 6: looking at this top of the draft for defensive players,
Speaker 6: this sets up very well for you this year. So
Speaker 6: because there's gonna be big time guys coming out of
Speaker 6: this draft. I'm playing defense and everyone's focused elsewhere, so
Speaker 6: maybe you get some guys at other years now, Guys
Speaker 6: like Micah Parsons. Not that anyone knew he was gonna
Speaker 6: beat Michael Parsons, but he was a pretty highly touted
Speaker 6: prospect throughout college and into the draft. And you remember
Speaker 6: that draft was like all offense and quarterbacks going early
Speaker 6: and right Parsons falling off.
Speaker 7: The eighteen teams of the nineteen that passed on TJ.
Speaker 7: Watt when it made sense not to do that.
Speaker 4: There's a lot to learn from studying these past drafts.
Speaker 4: All right, now, the Steelers are up at twenty and
Speaker 4: we have a run. We have a certified run on
Speaker 4: defensive backs.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they didn't pass on TJ.
Speaker 7: Watt when they knew they shouldn't, and they are not
Speaker 7: going to pass on one of the more interesting players
Speaker 7: in the draft. This feels like such a Steelers player
Speaker 7: as dropping knees nuts already. But Cooper Degen cornerback kind
Speaker 7: of Iowa. He can do a little bit of everything.
Speaker 7: And this is a team that knows that special teams
Speaker 7: is gonna matter more than ever before. They did get
Speaker 7: Cornero Patterson, but they also know that Cooper Degen is
Speaker 7: one of the more dangerous returnment in the league. And
Speaker 7: the kickoff rules changed and they you remember that Mike
Speaker 7: Tomlin used to go for two pointers more than anyone
Speaker 7: when that first became an option and started like this
Speaker 7: guy likes to push the envelope little more than people realize.
Speaker 8: Dejean is a perfect Steelers type player.
Speaker 6: I think it's an interesting to fit with a guy
Speaker 6: he has been compared to decent him out Mike Mika Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 6: You put those two guys in the same defensive backfield,
Speaker 6: even if Dejeane is at at corner or slock corner.
Speaker 4: Like, is that crowd applauding a white cornerback going in
Speaker 4: the first round could.
Speaker 8: Be steel belt crowd?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's breaking he's breaking boundaries. You know, let's let
Speaker 6: your athletes stay at cornerback no matter who they are.
Speaker 4: We should have Jason Seahorn on hand to make the
Speaker 4: pick if it happens. All right, moving up, Oh no,
Speaker 4: just when we thought we were done with trades.
Speaker 8: You got a trade.
Speaker 4: Yep. How many trades we got? And what is the record?
Speaker 4: La research? We need to dig in on that.
Speaker 7: This would be the record, I would believe by by
Speaker 7: quite a stretch. The Dallas Cowboys like finally, like now
Speaker 7: they've said we're all in on the draft, just the offseason,
Speaker 7: we're all in on the track.
Speaker 8: They've stirled around and said that.
Speaker 7: Now that's true, but they'd have to do something here
Speaker 7: and they want to. You know, Greg, you're hearing little
Speaker 7: whispers and birdies and butterflies tell you that people are
Speaker 7: trading up for offensive tackles. JC Latham out of Alabama,
Speaker 7: I think this is where they go.
Speaker 8: They you know you've lost Tyrens.
Speaker 7: They want to keep building the offensive line, and I
Speaker 7: think this is a logical safe pick for them.
Speaker 5: Six six, three hundred and sixty pounds.
Speaker 6: I love that, like Joe All is such a freak
Speaker 6: that Jacy Latham really hasn't gotten much attention for being
Speaker 6: this big, this massive. Not going to say it's Tyron
Speaker 6: Smith vibes, but just like physically, I think they'd love
Speaker 6: to keep Tyler Smith to a guard, which they could
Speaker 6: in this.
Speaker 4: Did they get the best years of Tyron Smith? Probably?
Speaker 4: Could he have played another three or four years at
Speaker 4: a high level potentially, But perhaps the smart move is
Speaker 4: to move on, hit on somebody you really like in
Speaker 4: the first round, and then you have a true bridge
Speaker 4: and a young tackle to protect Dak or whomever.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I wonder if they could trade up, like you say, Mark,
Speaker 6: and then you get the right player, right team.
Speaker 4: But it's just in a different spot. But you do
Speaker 4: get credit for that, ah Okay, credit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if it's in the first round, if you got
Speaker 6: the right team player and they trade up for Latham
Speaker 6: at fifteen or something, you get credit.
Speaker 4: I think credit is an important word. I think what
Speaker 4: Mark is looking for in many ways is credit, and
Speaker 4: that's there's a little bit right there electric credit for it.
Speaker 8: I agree that will levis getting points for that.
Speaker 7: Last year was probably just this is this is such
Speaker 7: a loss of a little craft that we're just trying
Speaker 7: to throw this guya some sort of.
Speaker 4: I got a nine year old coming for you all
Speaker 4: right up next the twenty second pick, and oh my god.
Speaker 7: So the Eagles are sitting here, and I think the
Speaker 7: Cowboys kind of thought, we're not going to get hopscotched
Speaker 7: by the Eagles for an offensive linement of any sort,
Speaker 7: and so that's sort of what motivated and we see
Speaker 7: them do with that to each other on right before.
Speaker 7: But the Eagles are open for business and we have
Speaker 7: a trade.
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable the number of trades, the.
Speaker 6: Sheer number of it will be seventeen trades in the end, okay.
Speaker 8: And so what what triggers trades on draft?
Speaker 7: I think it can be like logic, smart, you fell
Speaker 7: in love with someone, or you're a little bit desperate,
Speaker 7: and the bills are like, we can't sit around deep
Speaker 7: farther down in this first round, there's a number of
Speaker 7: guys that go for but they go for eighty Mitchell
Speaker 7: texas wide receiver, great route runner, or red zone menace.
Speaker 7: They've had red zone issues at times in the past.
Speaker 7: I think this is a sexy additional weapon for Josh
Speaker 7: Allen and friends.
Speaker 6: The conventional wisdom is Howie Roseman is not picking twenty two.
Speaker 5: He's either going to move up.
Speaker 6: He's either going to move down, but he's not gonna
Speaker 6: move I don't know what that means. I mean, if
Speaker 6: the right player was there, I guess. I guess then
Speaker 6: he would move up. Eighty Mitchell is maybe among the
Speaker 6: most divisive players in this draft. Some people think he
Speaker 6: could be a true number one, like a top ten
Speaker 6: type of talent, but some questionable effort, some questionable profile.
Speaker 6: Kind of reminds me of George Pickens coming out a
Speaker 6: little bit. But George Pickens, Oh, you guys say, Chase Claypool.
Speaker 4: It look here's from Jeremiah's top fifty. It looks like
Speaker 4: he gets a little at times on the backside of
Speaker 4: routes assuming the balls going elsewhere. He doesn't have a
Speaker 4: ton of production after the catch. Overall, though Mitchell is
Speaker 4: an ideal X receiver. He can make plays when covered
Speaker 4: and he's like weapon.
Speaker 7: You're also replaced one headache potentially with another.
Speaker 6: And that's that's smart in to be clear, Like, I
Speaker 6: don't think there's any off field like major concerns. It's
Speaker 6: just like a lot of people saying like he kind
Speaker 6: of gives half speed on half these routes.
Speaker 4: And he talked about that too, And that's nice that
Speaker 4: you brought that up. Greg, that's important. You want to
Speaker 4: be fair to these young men.
Speaker 5: I always worry when.
Speaker 6: I always worry when you're on a college team and
Speaker 6: the other guy is clearly better than you and then you.
Speaker 5: Get taken ahead of that guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this guy would be Xavier Worthy, who really was
Speaker 6: kind of the one at Texas.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a break. Let's take a break,
Speaker 4: and we will finish the first round of the mock
Speaker 4: Sessler Mark draft. Hell, can you take me on the
Speaker 4: draft board.
Speaker 6: I think moving up the studio audience.
Speaker 5: With some drinks was a good idea.
Speaker 4: They al wait a lot, give it up. If you're sloshed.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm a.
Speaker 5: Wicked pissed.
Speaker 4: All right, where were we?
Speaker 8: We just heard twenty three?
Speaker 4: Now the unthinkable that the Bills would go for mister
Speaker 4: Mitchell out of Texas. So now it is the Cardinals
Speaker 4: via the Minnesota Vikings from Cleveland through Houston. Hikes. Allright,
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, what do they do?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 7: An these drunken Cardinals fans all up in arms that
Speaker 7: they took, you know, an offensive lineman in an edge,
Speaker 7: and yeah, where's this thing that we all want a
Speaker 7: little fantasy plaything. So let's see what they do here.
Speaker 9: Rise up red Sea. We're not done yet. Growth with
Speaker 9: the twenty third pick in the NFL Draft of the year, four,
Speaker 9: the Arizona Cardinals via Minnesota Vikings from Cleveland through Houston.
Speaker 9: Brian Thomas wide receiver ls U junior, six ' four,
Speaker 9: two hundred and five pounds.
Speaker 4: Come to us. Brian Tolas, I like how some like
Speaker 4: he's very important that he gets in the measurables there
Speaker 4: he gets the weight.
Speaker 7: I know why this happened because I sent him just
Speaker 7: at because I have all that stuff here.
Speaker 8: I sent him the name and the measurables.
Speaker 7: And like he he also was injecting incredible Zumbwalt energy there.
Speaker 8: But he was very.
Speaker 6: Meticulous of this would be exciting. If you come away
Speaker 6: with three first round picks again to tackle, that would
Speaker 6: be rising than me, but lot to my favorite edge Thomas.
Speaker 5: You know I would give this an a give it
Speaker 5: an a to I think.
Speaker 8: You'd have to. We don't know.
Speaker 7: You know, I don't have a big problem with adding
Speaker 7: a great tackle in the draft at any at any
Speaker 7: point next year.
Speaker 4: We should see what else we could put on the
Speaker 4: page and see if Jason just keeps reading on and
Speaker 4: on and on, I mean, hometown favorite food.
Speaker 7: I think he's got genuine passion for the concept of
Speaker 7: these picks.
Speaker 8: You can feel it, and especially their body.
Speaker 4: All right. Up next the twenty fourth pick, it's Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 7: All right, the Dolphins some overt needs on defense, and
Speaker 7: they love what's happened to them here, and and Greg
Speaker 7: loves it too because it's attached to a sandwich related prop.
Speaker 8: They go Johnny Newton defensive lineman Illinois.
Speaker 6: With the listeners love it too because this was a
Speaker 6: rain maker that Peter Schrager's tweet completely dismissed that he's
Speaker 6: getting taken.
Speaker 4: By so I would be so little ros v Schrager.
Speaker 4: Christ is that up here that I like? No, it's
Speaker 4: just it's not no, it's yes. Well, according to these
Speaker 4: latest mock drafts, like he's fallen out of a lot
Speaker 4: of these, and I'm sticking.
Speaker 5: I'm sticking with my guy, sticking with and so is Mark.
Speaker 4: Mark's playing to Greg a little bit, which is.
Speaker 7: Well, no, but like I I don't agree that, like
Speaker 7: I'm seeing no one else.
Speaker 5: No, he's he's sort of all.
Speaker 6: Over the place where like some people have him in
Speaker 6: the top fifteen, some of them out.
Speaker 4: Of the top four. Would you take Greg on the
Speaker 4: sanguine No.
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, I'm not because I'm not.
Speaker 7: That's it's it chows no internal fortitude to go back
Speaker 7: on the sandwich prop.
Speaker 8: I'll stick with it.
Speaker 7: But the more research I did on him after that conversation, good,
Speaker 7: I would not take Greg on it.
Speaker 4: How about that foot injury, that's it's a big man
Speaker 4: with a foot injury.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's liked is that bad? Like, I don't know.
Speaker 7: It's like player, some players are coming with a couple
Speaker 7: of weeks of you know, availability questions, then they're awesome.
Speaker 4: Jason would tell you that he's six foot two, two
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety five pounds, bad foot for a big man.
Speaker 8: Look, yeah, you'd have to look into that.
Speaker 4: As OJ once said, look out all right, Number twenty
Speaker 4: five the Green Bay Packers staying home.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they do, and they you know, they take a
Speaker 7: Marius Mims offensive tackle out of Georgia. That's a need
Speaker 7: for them, Like, they can't mess around with that.
Speaker 6: They're perfect for taking one of these kind of not
Speaker 6: project tackles, but guys that maybe you don't have to
Speaker 6: play him day one. There's a few of them at
Speaker 6: this part of the draft. Tyler Geitton is another with
Speaker 6: just crazy physical skills. Again, guys who I have a
Speaker 6: feeling if they were in either of the previous two
Speaker 6: drafts would have gotten taken much higher.
Speaker 4: Hm. I believe that they will add a defensive player
Speaker 4: in the first round, but we'll see. Sure makes a
Speaker 4: lot of sense. Sure to me, finally starting over with
Speaker 4: a new DC, they need some more talent on that
Speaker 4: side of the ball. But obviously adding a tackle with high,
Speaker 4: high ceiling Marius Mims makes sense. Number twenty six the
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 7: I think the Bucks could go in a number of
Speaker 7: different I kind of messed around with this pick a
Speaker 7: lot where I have them doing. You know, they've lost
Speaker 7: a little bit of veterans in the secondary. They go
Speaker 7: Nate Wiggins cornerback out of Clemson.
Speaker 4: M M.
Speaker 8: Todd, Bowl's still in control.
Speaker 6: Lanky, lanky, six to two fade away, Carl Fon Davis
Speaker 6: certainly have in need.
Speaker 4: Fills a need. And yes Todd does have a loud
Speaker 4: voice in that root well, Todd never has a loud voice.
Speaker 4: Todd gets his message across right.
Speaker 8: Carry some Weight.
Speaker 4: Number twenty seven, Denver Broncos.
Speaker 7: So the Broncos, you know, they kind of bailed on
Speaker 7: their were unable to fulfill their quests to move up
Speaker 7: for a quarterback.
Speaker 8: And because it's the war.
Speaker 7: Room is a little down about the whole thing. The
Speaker 7: fan base is wondering if there's any vision for the future.
Speaker 7: But what's happened here is you could say there's some value.
Speaker 7: This is a quarterback with a lot of experience. Bonnicks
Speaker 7: from Oregon falls right into the laps. Sean Payton's like,
Speaker 7: you know what, I like this because we absolutely needed
Speaker 7: a quarterback and this is someone that kind of injects
Speaker 7: some future hope. It gives Sean Payton someone to work
Speaker 7: with and buys every one a little bit of time.
Speaker 6: I want to see Sean Payton with like an exciting quarterback,
Speaker 6: which Bonix doesn't really.
Speaker 5: Qualify as but a lot of those guys are gone.
Speaker 6: Yeah, though, that would be six quarterbacks here in the
Speaker 6: first round.
Speaker 5: Always a little worry. So if you get number six.
Speaker 4: Right, that's sure. This feels like when you're reaching for
Speaker 4: a position rather than best player on the boards.
Speaker 6: It hasn't handled pressure necessarily very well, but you know,
Speaker 6: not accurate.
Speaker 4: That's not an issue in the NFL, though, because the
Speaker 4: play the game slows down from college to the pros.
Speaker 4: So I feel like bo will do just fine. All right.
Speaker 4: Next the number twenty eight pick, Mark, it is.
Speaker 7: The Eagles, and I think that Howie Roseman, this is
Speaker 7: just kis met. This seems to happen to them a
Speaker 7: lot on draft day. Graham Barton, one of the most
Speaker 7: versatile offensive linemen in a post Jason Kelsey world, can
Speaker 7: plug right into that line and be a nasty He's
Speaker 7: from Duke, He's a senior, considered one of the most
Speaker 7: intelligent smart dudes around, like a pre snap genius. So
Speaker 7: you can plug right into that offense, and you.
Speaker 5: Know when he gets it, he gets it.
Speaker 6: I gotta give Mark, this is a marriage I have
Speaker 6: not seen predicted out there, and it just it makes
Speaker 6: right sense.
Speaker 5: He nailed this one.
Speaker 6: He also nailed the Ady Mitchell Bill's pick because that
Speaker 6: is the one pick him and Walker agreed with on it.
Speaker 8: There you go, just coming together.
Speaker 4: And rest assured. No matter who the Eagles pick, they
Speaker 4: will be universally lauded as incredible uh purveyors of talent
Speaker 4: and vision because the idea of the Eagles ever making
Speaker 4: the wrong decision, it's just impossible. So great job, even
Speaker 4: though they haven't made the pick yet, whether it is
Speaker 4: this particular lineman, whoever it is, it could be a punter.
Speaker 5: I love that for the Eagles.
Speaker 4: That is exactly what you will hear from all the
Speaker 4: football nerds. Thank you for your up ed have once
Speaker 4: again done it. They have seen what no one else
Speaker 4: can see. As you can see that lobby filled with
Speaker 4: Lombardi trophies. They have done it. So congratulations. Let me
Speaker 4: be the first to congratulate the Eagles on an amazing
Speaker 4: night one of the draft. Put them on my winner list.
Speaker 4: That's how you earn respect in the industry.
Speaker 5: I mean, hit him with the Lombardi trophies. They haven't
Speaker 5: been to two Super Bowls and one one in the
Speaker 5: last six years. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Sure, I mean six plus fifty one. Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 4: saying there's one in the lobby. Okay. We treat them
Speaker 4: as if they're the eighties Niners and nineties Cowboys and
Speaker 4: the two thousands Patriots rolled into one wealth. My goodness,
Speaker 4: great job. And now now I'm gonna get buried by
Speaker 4: the Let me tell you something else called off of
Speaker 4: course you are. How about the Knicks? How about your sixers?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Here we go with m beav with this head down
Speaker 4: in the locker room. Oh, I guarantee we're gonna win
Speaker 4: this year. Pick your head up, be a leader, got
Speaker 4: a loser team.
Speaker 7: I expect Philadelphia's multiple fan bases to respond to what
Speaker 7: you've just said over the last minute.
Speaker 4: Now I acknowledge that that now it feels personal.
Speaker 8: It feels felt from the first, and it had for
Speaker 8: a while.
Speaker 4: It hadn't been truly personal until this moment, and now
Speaker 4: it is. So sorry, guys, but this is the way
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 7: Up next, the Detroit Lions, and I've seen a couple
Speaker 7: like whispers that they're open to. You can't just a
Speaker 7: trading out of this pic. What are you talking about?
Speaker 7: The draft is in Detroit, you gotta know how to
Speaker 7: lather and work this crowd.
Speaker 5: You can't.
Speaker 8: You can't.
Speaker 7: You're not passing on the frame. And they they do
Speaker 7: look at they need it. They need help in the
Speaker 7: secondary and they've kind of needed it forever. But kool
Speaker 7: aid McKinstry, I have here from Alabama, right, we trust
Speaker 7: those Alabama players, and I thought that that organization will too.
Speaker 4: Closest thing you'll get to, uh like an NFL team
Speaker 4: is that that football machine down there.
Speaker 5: You feel like this might be the pick.
Speaker 6: The fewest people in the NFL mock draft community get right,
Speaker 6: just because it's so late in the first round and
Speaker 6: they just don't value players the same way that other
Speaker 6: teams do. They they said that as much as press conference.
Speaker 6: They kind of they and they like it and it's
Speaker 6: been working. I mean, Jack Jack Campbell didn't exactly work
Speaker 6: so far, but Jamiir gaves Jack camp I just look
Speaker 6: at where they took players last year.
Speaker 5: No one was seeing those coming.
Speaker 4: You sorry that you're set up. There was what with
Speaker 4: the lines that they will do something.
Speaker 7: No, No, there was there. I've just seen some like
Speaker 7: little things here and there that they would.
Speaker 4: Be laid out in Detroit. Is he gonna walk. No, no,
Speaker 4: he's not there. Now, I don't think they're going to
Speaker 4: take a guy that's not gonna walk.
Speaker 7: Well, they're they're not gonna get guys the board.
Speaker 4: Whoever's there, whoever's left of that fourteen. Darius Robinson is
Speaker 4: a strong in this scenario. He would still be on
Speaker 4: the board.
Speaker 6: He he's the one that kind of stuck out as
Speaker 6: why is why is he there? Just because he might
Speaker 6: have to wait through the first round?
Speaker 8: I see where you go.
Speaker 4: That would be if I could add a sandwich prop
Speaker 4: that the Lions will take a player that walks.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll allow it. I would too, fully hopefully
Speaker 6: our friend doing the site is this.
Speaker 4: Can we do it? I don't know.
Speaker 5: I want your sandwich?
Speaker 4: Yeah? What what the hell?
Speaker 5: All right, that's good, I'm taking you up.
Speaker 4: The Lions take a player that walks because they have
Speaker 4: eliminated their draft board. This is gonna be very down
Speaker 4: to fourteen players.
Speaker 5: When we get to pick twenty nine.
Speaker 4: All right, it's a big deal for the Lions, the host,
Speaker 4: and they're not gonna do the thing where All right, now,
Speaker 4: let's throw it live to satellite to you know.
Speaker 8: Kool Aid's house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's San Jose like. No. They want the moment,
Speaker 4: they want the rock hug, they want the whole thing,
Speaker 4: and they have limited their draft board as a result.
Speaker 8: That marries up with my theory that they're not trading
Speaker 8: out of the pick.
Speaker 4: Is it smart? No, I think it's foolish in fact,
Speaker 4: But it's about the celebration as much as anything else
Speaker 4: this year.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, all right, noted Ravens at thirty.
Speaker 7: They have a lot of different needs, but offensive line
Speaker 7: is one of them, and there's still going offensive line
Speaker 7: in here. They take Tyler Geiden tackle Oklahoma, six seven,
Speaker 7: three and twenty eight, slightly larger than the three of
Speaker 7: us put together, in a like a large par lap sack,
Speaker 7: like a large man.
Speaker 5: I think that's savvy.
Speaker 4: You're like a big guy.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they need to start planning for a post Ronnie Stanley.
Speaker 6: They have a lot of a lot of needs, and
Speaker 6: I've had a lot of injuries in the offensive line.
Speaker 5: That makes sense.
Speaker 6: While we're here, Yes, there was some news. I'm not
Speaker 6: even gonna call it breaking news. Okay, we're noting that
Speaker 6: the Ravens just extended Rashad Bateman, their first round pick
Speaker 6: from a few years ago for a couple extra seasons.
Speaker 6: A little surprising, but that shows they both believe nicely done.
Speaker 4: Greg is co host here to hold off on sharing
Speaker 4: that until we get to the Ravens. So it's all
Speaker 4: part of one. It's all a greater hole.
Speaker 8: Yeah, seamless production.
Speaker 4: I'm not just looks Bimbo all right? Number thirty one, all.
Speaker 7: Right, San Francisco, forty nine ers. Now, I the one
Speaker 7: thing that I almost did in this Bimbo.
Speaker 4: We kind of lost Bimbo. It's kind of gone. It
Speaker 4: had a nice run, though it's out there.
Speaker 6: With beat which we Kimbo either comes into the mix
Speaker 6: every once in a while.
Speaker 7: Now, I think that there's a world where Brandon Aiyuk
Speaker 7: could be traded. And they moved way up the sport,
Speaker 7: but it was getting a little rich with all the business,
Speaker 7: so I had them staying home here taking Chop Robinson
Speaker 7: the edge from Penn State, and if you go back
Speaker 7: and look at because I was looking at Blake Horn
Speaker 7: a little bit like the game where Michigan played Penn
Speaker 7: State and it ran the ball thirty times in a
Speaker 7: row at one point, was because of Chop Robinson blowing
Speaker 7: up the tackle position and causing all sorts of havock
Speaker 7: largely because of that, and so they were like, we're
Speaker 7: just going to get back to nineteen twenties basic football
Speaker 7: and destroy you up the middle.
Speaker 6: Explosive trades. Guy, that's what forty nine ers like, and
Speaker 6: they sneaky, kneed edge. It's a little surprising kind of keep.
Speaker 4: Populating that a little bit around both so last year that.
Speaker 7: They could go tackle too. Maybe, but we'll see. I'm
Speaker 7: going at chure.
Speaker 4: Makes all the sense in the world. Mark and the
Speaker 4: final pick of the first and I think it's fitting.
Speaker 4: I think it's fitting given the absolute madness of acquisitions
Speaker 4: and moving up and down the board, that we end
Speaker 4: with a trade.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like at some point four teams will have owned
Speaker 7: the thirty second pick. It started with the Chiefs, then
Speaker 7: the Falcons, then the Seahawks, and now this happens.
Speaker 11: No, there has been a trade. The New England Patriots
Speaker 11: are now selecting thirty second and the pick is Lad
Speaker 11: McConkey wide receiver Georgia.
Speaker 6: Okay, this is gonna be a Frank Camvy staff that
Speaker 6: is traveling for our audio listeners.
Speaker 4: Most things to great honor or. I believe you're a
Speaker 4: batman mask. Yep, We're not for sure, but it seemed
Speaker 4: like I presumed to be offspring with him in a
Speaker 4: Spider Man mask.
Speaker 8: Yes, that that was confirmed Offspring.
Speaker 4: Thank you to Connor, Jason, Ricky, Hollywood, everyone that helped
Speaker 4: contribute it to the picks. Well done and uh.
Speaker 6: And well done by the Patriots. You know, you can
Speaker 6: take bell Check out of the building, but you can't
Speaker 6: take their appreciation or versatile white wide receivers.
Speaker 7: You know, though you have Drake May and Laden McConkie
Speaker 7: that takes the pella offense in the league and it
Speaker 7: makes you think differently.
Speaker 4: That's the that's the opportunity that the Patriots have. The
Speaker 4: number thirty two pick is a very popular trade pick
Speaker 4: because it's the last pick of the draft where you
Speaker 4: can lock in a player with that fifth year option.
Speaker 8: And that matters, Greggy if you really.
Speaker 4: Love a guy.
Speaker 6: Famously Lamar Jackson with the second of the Ravens two
Speaker 6: first round picks that year, they took Hayden Hurst.
Speaker 8: I think they ordered those correctly.
Speaker 4: Unbelievable and Mark, you are unbelievable. Now we could. I
Speaker 4: could throw flowers at you, I could hand you a lollipop,
Speaker 4: but that doesn't why because the draft hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 4: So all I could say, and Greg, I think you
Speaker 4: would agree here is Mark has done the work this
Speaker 4: spring and he is whether or not he he succeeds,
Speaker 4: whether or not you know. And again apology with Lance.
Speaker 4: We brought him on as a guest, and to hang
Speaker 4: up on you is just straight disrespectful, Greg, Greg bringing
Speaker 4: in a nine year old to challenge you directly to
Speaker 4: us night not to that that feels like it's against
Speaker 4: the greater goal to lift you up, to lift up
Speaker 4: atm Yes, to give us a bigger platform. But I
Speaker 4: just want to say, great job, great work, and I
Speaker 4: hope that you set records this year.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I you know, I understand the heat coming from outlets
Speaker 7: old and young, because I think they sense there's a
Speaker 7: little bit of danger here. There's a little bit of
Speaker 7: foundational rattling about to happen if this goes the way that.
Speaker 6: I that I know where yeah, and I just want
Speaker 6: you to know, you know where I come from, Western Massachusetts.
Speaker 6: A lot of time you show love by here we
Speaker 6: gotten balls, you know, by just like mercilessly trying to
Speaker 6: take other people down.
Speaker 4: That's how we start, but you have a certain way
Speaker 4: about you that maybe he's been a little different than
Speaker 4: some of the others in Western messages.
Speaker 5: Now you should you should come brutal.
Speaker 4: No, I will not go all right, Eric, How you
Speaker 4: doing back there behind the glass at pay doing great?
Speaker 4: How are you guys great? I do want to point
Speaker 4: out that I was scheduled to announce the Bill's first
Speaker 4: round pick, but Mark totally left me out. There was
Speaker 4: a trade.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I did forget about that. Would you like to No, No,
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't, okay, I don't.
Speaker 5: It was eighty Mitchell the Bill out of the pen.
Speaker 5: I was here. Thanks, I'm just messing with you, Mark,
Speaker 5: I really didn't.
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, yes, that did slip the uh, that slipped
Speaker 7: a lot of elements.
Speaker 4: And it's fine. I just I had nothing to say,
Speaker 4: and sometimes it was Etp's chance to shine, and that
Speaker 4: was that was.
Speaker 7: If you had nothing to say, then I made the
Speaker 7: correct decision in the end.
Speaker 6: So you mark anything else, not until uh we're back
Speaker 6: after round one.
Speaker 4: Yes, m yeah, no. Live stream this year is what
Speaker 4: it is, and I'll say nothing more. But we do
Speaker 4: have the big show tomorrow night. Immediately at the end
Speaker 4: of round one. We will be recording our reaction to
Speaker 4: round one of the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, So
Speaker 4: make sure you are you know, keep your phone in
Speaker 4: your hand. Whatever device you use to ingest podcast, probably
Speaker 4: your phone. Just stare at it and then think, what
Speaker 4: do you think, Eric about? We're gonna try to get
Speaker 4: it up about I don't know. Let's see the first
Speaker 4: round ends at about eleven Eastern something like that. We're
Speaker 4: gonna want to have that up what you know, three
Speaker 4: hours later from the last pick, figuring we'd give us
Speaker 4: an hour to talk, give me a little time to
Speaker 4: edit and post. And yeah, I say four, I say
Speaker 4: before three hours. That's the goal. Clock me, that's the goal. Yeah.
