6
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: week in studio.

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: In studio, but only for about a day in terms

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: of when you're gonna hear from us again.

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right, because we are off to Phoenix, Arizona,

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: all the way to comb Philadelphia and Leanta, La. No,

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: we're off the Phoenix, Arizona tomorrow. Of course in anticipation

12
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: of the league meetings, the owners meetings. We will have

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: that bonus Sunday show we broadcasting live at the beginning

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: of the week out there in Phoenix. Looking forward to it.

00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: Bonus Sunday Show, Bonus hour on the show every single day, Matt.

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: There will be a lot of moving and shaking, and

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: it'll be my first time out there. I'm just looking

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: looking at the cool environment. It's kind of I was

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: having this conversation with my dad last night when we

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: were flying back or waiting for the plane or whatever.

21
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: You know, I've been doing this now, you know, if

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: you include the three years that I spent with the Eagles. Yeah,

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: like eleven twelve years, and it's I think the only

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: thing in the NFL sphere that I haven't done.

25
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: Like I got the event you can go to and stuff.

26
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I got to do super Bowls, right, I haven't been

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: to a super Bowl, but I got to do super

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: Bowl Week in Radio Row when I was with the Eagles,

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: Like we flew out the Minnesota and did our shows there.

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: Always it's like a more glamorous combine.

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it was at Mall of America, so the

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Radio Row was set up right in the middle of

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: All of America. So it was a who's who and

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: there's you know, I've told you this story about John

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: Randall like tapping me on the shoulder and yeah, crap

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: out of me.

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 3: And if people were dressed a little nicer, Yeah, yeah.

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: It's a little more glamorous. There's a ton of a

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: list celebrities around, both athletes and just none everyone. You know,

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: you might bump into Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio or

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: that's kind of cool, you know some famous musician or

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: somebody like that. But yeah, I haven't been to a

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl but I did the whole Super Bowl week

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: radio row. I've done drafts and combines and training camps,

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: and I think I've been to twenty four of the

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: thirty NFL stadiums.

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: But this that's pretty cool.

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is kind of the last we did an

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: international game together. Yeah, but this is kind of like,

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: I think the last box for me to check in

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: terms of the NFL calendar.

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and looking forward to it. I mean, the weather

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: will be awesome, the environment will be cool, a lot

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 3: going on. You will see a lot of big name

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: people in the league, and then they're definitely gonna be

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: like celebrities and stuff there at like the owner's party

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: as well. I'm not sure what everybody's talking about this week,

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: but they'll be buzz and there's no doubt about that.

59
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: So it's funny you say that, Matt, That's where I

60
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: wanted to go.

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, like the tush push is not a

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: thing that they're talking about. And that's when we left

63
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 3: the owners meetings a year ago. Like next year they're

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: going to ban that thing. It was a done deal, right.

65
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: So I'm glad you said that because that's where I

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: wanted to go. First, we have a little bit of

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: an idea. Well, we'll learn more obviously once we get

68
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: there tomorrow evening. Yeah, we have a little bit of

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: an idea what will be on the docket. But I

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: think the biggest thing as we sit here now is

71
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: that the Tush push will not be a year after

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: Matt being two votes away from getting banned. You're right,

73
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: So it's not like there was this massive gap of Okay,

74
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: clearly the vast majority of the league is on board

75
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: with this. There's only two votes shy of banning the

76
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: Tush push last year, and now it's off the agenda

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: completely for this year.

78
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: So if you remember, coach Tomlin was on the competition committee,

79
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: and I assume it'll work the same as when Tomlin

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: was the head coach with McCarthy anyway. But there's a

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: breakfast for the AFC coaches one day, there's a breakfast

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: with the NFC coaches the other day. And there's sixteen

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: huge round tables, and if I want, I could go

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: sit there and listen to Sean Payton or you can

85
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: or whatever, or the NFC one whatever you want to do.

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: You don't have to like be glued to your city.

87
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: But the Steelers and I'm not sure if the other

88
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: teams do this or not. Also have a roundtable for

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: the local reporters. Yes, Alick and those guys will all

90
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: be there, you know, and I don't think anything. Yeah,

91
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody just pops in there. And I

92
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: sat there with those guys. I didn't like put a

93
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: microphone down or ask any questions when I just kind

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: of hovered in the background and listen. And people were

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: asking Tomlin about the Toush push because he's on the

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: competition committee. And the big thing he said was, and

97
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: it made all the sense in the world is we

98
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: just didn't have enough actual play calls of the tush

99
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: push to make enough of a judgment. I mean, if

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: you think about how many Toush pushes have been called

101
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: before this season, maybe there's fifty, and they were all

102
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: by the Eagles, you know, this year, i'd be picked

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 3: up heavy. Yeah, And you know, the big concern was,

104
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: is it going to be a dangerous play someone pushed

105
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: a quarterback from behind. Nobody had got in her to

106
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: this point, but there was such a small sample size

107
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: it was like it was hard to pass it because

108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: we didn't much to go off of apparently they had

109
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: a lot more sample. I mean, all these teams, including

110
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: the Steelers, are doing some version of it and no

111
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: one got hurt, and so just no one has a

112
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: problem with it anymore.

113
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: That was my interpretation too. Yeah, you've seen it evolve.

114
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: You know a lot of the teams. It's not the

115
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: same as Philly. It's same church, different pew. Maybe.

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Steelers have some wrinkles.

117
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: Steelers have some wrinkles off at Ruffalo Bills have some

118
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: wrinkles off and all these different things. And yeah, so

119
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: that was my best guess interpretation. Maybe we'll learn a

120
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: little bit more about that once we get our boots

121
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: on the ground this weekend. The competition committee now is

122
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: comprised of let's see, it.

123
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: Must have been a lot of changes, because there is

124
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: usually the most tenured head coaches and there's a lot

125
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: of chance.

126
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: Exactly right. So Rich McKay and Stephen Jones of the

127
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals vice president Katie Blackburn, Tampa Bay

128
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: Bucks head coach Todd Bowles, Niners general manager and NFL

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer John Lynch, New York Giants owner John Mara,

130
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams coach Sean That's that's wrong. Sean McVay

131
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: doesn't coach the Wait, sorry, I'm reading this wrong. I'm

132
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: reading Sean Payton. Sorry, Rams coach Sean McVay, Broncos coach

133
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: Sean Payton, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, Texans coach Jamiko Ryans

134
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: New England Patriots coach Mike Rabel.

135
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: Who mostly coaches.

136
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: That's the new competition committee, and for any rule to

137
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: pass a yes vote from at least twenty four of

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: the thirty two teams to gain approval.

139
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: Right, it's not like those guys are the ones the

140
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: almighty Committee.

141
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: You're not the Supreme Court. No, right, right, right, yeah.

142
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: And so here's again what we know as of now

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: that we'll be on the on the docket on the agenda.

144
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: Among the pro proposals is a modification that will allow

145
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: the kicking team to declare an on side kick it

146
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: anytime during the game, rather than only when trailing or

147
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Another popped up late in the year.

148
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: I don want to say it was a Chiefs game

149
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: or something where it was like a minute left in

150
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 3: the third quarter and it was, oh, it's a super

151
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: Bowl when they were one of the teams was losing bad?

152
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: Is it this Patrick? Yeah, this past one or maybe

153
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: two ago when the Chiefs are getting beat bad. I

154
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: think that's right.

155
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: The Eagles, the Eagles.

156
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like, obviously I want to kick an

157
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: on side kick here, there's thirty seconds left in the

158
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: third quarter, and we can't do it because it's not

159
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter yet. Sure, I don't think they don't

160
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: won the game, but yeah, right, right, yeah, if you're

161
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: going to declare, it should happen anything any time. Yeah,

162
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: I just hate the Claire.

163
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: Same and I wonder if maybe Sean Payton will have

164
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: anything to say about that, after famously the surprise surprise

165
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: on side kick to start the second half of the

166
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: Super Bowl flip that game on its head. Another proposed

167
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: rule change would eliminate the kicking team's incentive to intentionally

168
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: boot the ball out of bounds when kicking off from

169
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: the forty yard line. So we've seen that a little

170
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: bit when penalties. Yeah, right, might as well kick the

171
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: ball out because it's going to be smarter for us

172
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: in terms of field position.

173
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: I think that was the Dublin game, but Danny Smith

174
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: called that once this year too. And it was a

175
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: smart move.

176
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: Smart yeah, yeah, because if the other team, you know,

177
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: gets a gets a penalty, you know, or whatever like that,

178
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: and you're moved up, then all of a sudden, the

179
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: penalty gets moved and so instead instead of giving them

180
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: the ball, instead of giving them the ball the forty

181
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: five yard line, you give it to them at the

182
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: thirty and you're like, oh, we'll take that thirty five.

183
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And there's no chance of a

184
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: return for a touchdown or you.

185
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: Know, exactly exactly and a h let's see also a

186
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: kickoff rule proposal calling for modifying the alignment requirements for

187
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: receiving players in the setup zone. So that's the whole

188
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: like setup zone and landing zone and all that Stuffeah,

189
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: it's part of the dynamic kickoff.

190
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to this, but I'm definitely

191
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: gonna snoop around a little bit on that one, because

192
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: I think you have to line up everyone in the

193
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 3: exact same spots. It's not like offense or defense or

194
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: how own formation Q back, you know, and what if

195
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 3: I want one guy back? Yeah, yeah, I guess. And

196
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: the needless to say, the two years ago when we

197
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: were at the owner's meetings, they passed the dynamic kickoff

198
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: for the first time, and the Steelers signed quarterro Patterson

199
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: like four seconds after that, thinking like, I'm gonna get

200
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: the best return guy out there. And all we talked

201
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: about for months, going all the way through training campus,

202
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: what's the dynamic kickofkun to do? What's it going to do?

203
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: Talked it to death and in the end it didn't

204
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: change things much. But then this past year they made

205
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: some tweaks to it and now it has a lot

206
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: more ramifications and I like it a lot more and

207
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: it's a lot more influential. But needless say, this is

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: still in the infantile stages and they're tweaking every year

209
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: to year, right, every year they're adding a little something

210
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: to it.

211
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: Also on the table is a proposal to allow league

212
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: personnel to consult with on field officials when considering ejections

213
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: for flagrant fouls or non football acts, even if the

214
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: infraction was missed by the referees on the field. This

215
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: would be the only situation in which the NFL's control

216
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: Center could place a flag on the field, So.

217
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: They're not allowed to actually put a flag on the field.

218
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: Now, say maybe like a Jamar Chase Jalen Ramsey type situation,

219
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: players saying this guy spit on me and the referees

220
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: didn't see.

221
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: It, and maybe I need to go to replay to

222
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: someone from.

223
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: The command center can buzz down to the ref and say, hey,

224
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: that dude, punch that dude, or that dude spin on

225
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: that guy, or that dude you know, stomped on somebody

226
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: whatever whatever.

227
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 3: The rhone comes from out of nowhere and drops a

228
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 3: flag from the.

229
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: Booth up in the suites and a flag down. And

230
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: a fifth proposal would allow the NFL Officiating Department to

231
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: correct clear and obvious missed calls by referees, although that

232
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: rule would only be implemented if there is a referee

233
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: work stoppage and the league has to use has to

234
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: use replacement officials.

235
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: They are this this replacement official thing might not be

236
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: going away anytime.

237
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: So that's other than rule changes. That's the second biggest

238
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: thing that is listed on the docket is his referee negotiations.

239
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: Uh second third hand information of how that works. And yes,

240
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: but okay, I'm sure it's a big deal to the

241
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: owners though.

242
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: Yes, And according to The Athletic and New York Times,

243
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: talks have broken off between the two parties, but Roger

244
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: Goodell could provide updates on where things stand during his

245
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: State of the League news conference at the end of

246
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: the meetings. I'm sure, I'm sure. I think that is

247
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: safe to assume that he's going to be asked about that. Yes,

248
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: also technological advances on the table. You know, technology to

249
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: improve the game, how that works with officials, how that

250
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: works to track things like preventative injuries, things like equipment,

251
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: things like playing surfaces across the league.

252
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: Playing surface is a big one.

253
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: And virtually measuring for first downs.

254
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so all these.

255
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: Different technological advances will be will be on the on

256
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: the docket as well.

257
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: For example, a couple of years ago, the cameras on

258
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: the pylons in the end zone got installed because they

259
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: enough technology they trusted it. Or this past year, I

260
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: forget what they call it, but it's the same thing

261
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: in ten whether a ball is in or out when

262
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: they go to that virtual first down thing and then

263
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: it comes up on the scoreboard. Your six inches short

264
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: or two inches short, or you made it or whatever.

265
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: So technology, I had no problem with technological advance is

266
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: that into the game if it makes it better.

267
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: Same, as long as it doesn't become too clunky. I

268
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: don't have to become That's that's my only thing, you know,

269
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: you see, good at it, exactly right, be efficient with it.

270
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: But you see, sometimes these games just get so broken

271
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 2: up with so many reviews and then it becomes like,

272
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: all right, what are we doing here? You know, do

273
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: we really need to be reviewing a seven yard catch

274
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: in the second quarter? Is that going to have that

275
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: drastic of an inc you know? So? But I'm with

276
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: you in general, I think as much as you can

277
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: within reason and kind of uniformity across the board, I'm

278
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: fine with that kind of stuff.

279
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: International reach, it always used to make me crazy that

280
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: two dudes would run out with their chains.

281
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get that at all. That part makes

282
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: no sense. Just have a censor in the.

283
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: Ball or something better answer that.

284
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 2: You can still have the guys holding the chains and

285
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: it lights up first down, you know, or whatever.

286
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: So it's gotta be something better than that than two

287
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: old dudes with chains.

288
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: Of course, international reach of the league is something that

289
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 2: will be discussed by the owners. The twenty twenty six

290
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: season will feature nine international contests, three in London. One

291
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: in Munich, one in Madrid, one in Paris, one in Mexico,

292
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 2: and one in Brazil, and the first in Melbourne, Australia.

293
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: The current CVA allows ten international games per season. There

294
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: are reports that the owners would like to explain expand

295
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: that slate to sixteen in the near future.

296
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't know that that was in the CBA,

297
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: that you could only have ten. That's the first I'd

298
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: ever heard that, and I'm nine, yeah, right, like where

299
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: they hold it back. Go to Dublin again, you know, all.

300
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: Right, fine, Twistar, we'll go to Doublin.

301
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: Sign us up be the way team this time. I

302
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: think that's coming too. I mean, I'm sure it's been

303
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: discussed a lot. I don't even know if it's on

304
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: your list, but I definitely think eighteen games two buys

305
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: more more internationals.

306
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: From the from the Athletic and from the New York Times.

307
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: But I would think that's going to come up at

308
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: some point.

309
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: I think they've already as a matter of it's a

310
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: matter of when not if. I mean, if it's just

311
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: the owner sitting down meeting, they're all gonna say, yes,

312
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: eighteen games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's common.

313
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: Would I rather have a regular season game with seventy

314
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: thousand people in the stands or a preseason game with half.

315
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: That half, right, nobody cares about.

316
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: No brainer from a from a business standpoint. And then

317
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: finally Matt flag football ahead of the launch of flag football.

318
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: For those who are not familiar, The twenty twenty eight

319
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: Olympics Summer Olympics are in LA. They're in the United States.

320
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: Your boy has already entered the first round of the

321
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: ticket lotter lottery, by the way, and you're allowed to

322
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: enter for three separate events for the for the Olympics.

323
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: So when you enter the lottery, you have to specify

324
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: the three events that you would want to go to.

325
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: You as a spectator. Yes, okay, So.

326
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: Your boy put in track and field, swimming and flag football. Wow, okay,

327
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: because it's you know, we saw a little bit of

328
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: this with that tournament that was last week, you know,

329
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and Saquon Barging, But I didn't.

330
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: I guess it was entertaining people.

331
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: I saw a few highlights, you know, on Twitter and

332
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: that type of thing, but.

333
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: Asked if Brady should come back.

334
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham Junior too, Apparently he was cutting it up

335
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: out there. Uh. A portion of the owners meetings will

336
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: have time devoted to further discussions in planning for the

337
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: launch of flag football as an Olympics sport, as well

338
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: as logistical and business matters related to the creation of

339
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: a professional men's and women's flag football league.

340
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: Huh cool, Okay.

341
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: Each team in the NFL has already committed an investment

342
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: of a million dollars each, so thirty two million total

343
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: to help launch the league's ahead of the twenty twenty

344
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: eight Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

345
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this answer of anybody

346
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: knows his answer, But that doesn't mean they'd be thirty

347
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: two teams in the flag football League in the same city.

348
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

349
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so either, you know, like I.

350
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: Would almost think it would be the other way, where

351
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: you'd have it be the exactly right an. Yeah, places

352
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: places like that where you oftentimes you see minor league

353
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: sports and college sports but not quite big enough to

354
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: in Chicago, right, Or you know, maybe some of these,

355
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: like maybe like a city like Indianapolis that only has

356
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: two professional schools. Yeah, maybe, I don't know that that'd

357
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: be that'd be an interesting thing to keep an eye on.

358
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: But you know, right right, Orlando, you know, things like

359
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: things like that. But that'll be an interesting thing to

360
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: keep an eye on, U for sure. So that's kind

361
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: of your owner's meeting primer what you could expect Matt

362
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: and I to be talking about as we kind of

363
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: are looking ahead to to our flight tomorrow and our

364
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: Sunday show. Matt, you know, uh, I got it before that.

365
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: That that just made me think of one last thing

366
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: here before we go to break. You know, I'm a

367
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: uh I guess you could call me a deadhead, right,

368
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I used to get called up. Mike

369
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: Pursuda used to call me the world's youngest deadhead. I'm

370
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: thirty five. Now I don't think that's the case anymore.

371
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: But I'm sure, but still, that's a long time ago.

372
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: The people were tour with the Dead in the in

373
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: the Lexicon of Grateful Dead History, there's a phrase of

374
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: never miss a Sunday show because because the Dead would

375
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: rarely play a Sunday show, but when they did, something

376
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: crazy would always happen. Something different, you know, a song

377
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: that they don't play very often, or a special guest

378
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: or something like that. So when it comes to Matt

379
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: and west on never miss a Sunday show, we'll be

380
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: doing it from Phoenix.

381
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting geared up. I'm psyched about.

382
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: Get me too, I am, uh because I was obviously

383
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: just on two flights yesterday, so I'm not necessarily psyched

384
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: about like being on a plane for five hours again tomorrow.

385
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: But other than that, I am I am very.

386
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: Very happy we get there.

387
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right. And it's ninety degrees outside and

388
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: some sunshine, and I think Matt and I might find

389
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: some good places for food and drink while I know

390
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: Max is going to be out there. Maybe you can.

391
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: He can schlep us around town and show us all

392
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: the all the sights.

393
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 3: So I guess I should know this, But like, will

394
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: Max sit down with us adoring the three? Okay, I

395
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 3: assume somebody else put down once in a while with us.

396
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why you're asking me. You're the one

397
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: who's done it before.

398
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: I think people have.

399
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Max I packed an extra headsets.

400
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, and we shake up yeah okay, yeah.

401
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: You know, after some of those scrums, maybe we'll grab

402
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: du Lac and some of those news.

403
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 3: From other cities too. They'll start digging around. It's not

404
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: like the Combine with my draft buddies and all that

405
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: kind of stuff.

406
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: But you know, still we can grab someone from Cleveland,

407
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: from Baltimore, Cincinnati.

408
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 3: I've told you the the Harball story, right.

409
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, maybe we'll get John

410
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: Harball now that he's no longer the head coach of

411
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: a division rival. He was game dude, we can have

412
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: the head coach of the Giants on for ten minutes.

413
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: That's fine. Yeah, that is a great story about For

414
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: those unfamiliar with Matt is referencing last year at the

415
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: owners meetings, it was the last day him and Dale

416
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: are doing a show.

417
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're the only table set up.

418
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: And Harball walks by with his wife. It says something

419
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: like US Steelers Radio.

420
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: Right, something like now you like go Ravens or you know,

421
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: like we're in the huge haul. And obviously he heard.

422
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we're the only people there, and and I'm like, hey,

423
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: you want to come join us, coach, and he's like sure,

424
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 3: And we didn't have an extra headset and we were

425
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: like live on the air.

426
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I didn't think he was gonna say yes.

427
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: And then I'm thinking maybe I'll get in trouble for

428
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: doing this too, and like I'm like, this could go wrong.

429
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: He didn't have the Ravens head coach on Steelers Nation Radio,

430
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: but you can have the Giants head coach on Steelers

431

469
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: and it's also just kind of an easy sailing Friday

470
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: exercise into the weekend.

471
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: Matt, we might have to do one oh twice a

472
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 3: week now, going for we might.

473
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: Well, especially next week, we're actually three hour shows. Baby,

474
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna have some time to kill. But it is,

475
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: of course our weekly S and R drive mock draft.

476
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: This is either three point zero or four point zero.

477
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: I think it's the fourth one that we've done.

478
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: We're less than a month till draft day, right, we

479
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: sure are? Yeah?

480
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yea, we absolutely are. April twenty third is the

481
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: is the is the first first the Thursday, the first round,

482
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 2: and so yeah, we're we're less than a month out. Yeah, yeah,

483
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: so looking forward to it. And with that we will

484
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: get into our weekly mock draft here and we will

485
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: roll along and do so. Before we get into it, Matt,

486
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: I got to thank the people. Okay, oh, multiple people

487
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: tweeted me. You remember last week I had been using

488
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator.

489
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: That's usually one I used. It seems like, but.

490
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: If you'll remember, they unless you like pay for premium

491
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: or whatever, they won't let you make trades. Oh right,

492
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: And so we wanted to make trades at sometimes, but

493
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: it wouldn't let me unless you like, sign up for premium.

494
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: Not doing that on the air for one thing.

495
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, that's not the best radio, but I had

496
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: a shout out to the people, as always had three

497
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: or four different people that were like, dude, just use

498
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: the Pro Football Network one. It's so much better. You

499
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: can love that one.

500
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

501
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: And so I, you know, I've read.

502
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: A few articles with Profotball Network way back way.

503
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Way back in the day, I you know, selected the

504
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Steelers fired up the mock draft simulator, and I'm already

505
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: like him what I'm seeing here because it's been different

506
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: than what we've done.

507
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: Ther different, like if you go the same one over

508
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 3: and over, like you end up the same guys all the.

509
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: Time, correct, correct, And this one has trades and there's

510
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: there's been some trades, okay. Uh in fact a a

511
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of trades here in the first

512
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: round that'll be that'll be interesting to uh to get into.

513
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: So no shocker. The Raiders take for Nana Mendoza first overall.

514
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: Number two. The Jets take Rvel Reese is I think.

515
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: Ohio State's pro day was yesterday and all I heard

516
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: was everybody went crazy, but I didn't look at the numbers,

517
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 3: and I guess he was phenomenal.

518
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: Okay, that's you. I would take it too, Yeah, I

519
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: saw some video cut ups on social media of ruben

520
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: Baines like bend around the edge versus rvel Reese, and

521
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 2: rvel Reese was much higher and stiffer.

522
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

523
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not a true edge rusher yet.

524
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: Yes, you know I did see that a still shot

525
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: a bane that almost looked photoshopped.

526
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: How load how load the round it was? Yeah, and uh,

527
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: ruben bain goes third to the Cardinals in this In

528
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: this mock draft, I.

529
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: Still don't have a great grasp of what the Cardinals

530
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 3: are going to do.

531
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: I think they could do anything.

532
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: I bet theyd love the trade back five spot.

533
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure they. I'm sure they would, But I don't

534
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 2: think there's who's gonna trade up. But in this mock draft, here, Matt,

535
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: the Jets traded up back into the draft here to

536
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: pick four with the pick, so they they sent, they sent, uh,

537
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: they sent their sixteenth pick and their second round thirty

538
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: third overall to the Titans for pick four. These Titans

539
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: move back to sixteen and they get second the second round,

540
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: second overall pick.

541
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 3: Deep down, I don't think that's enough to move that far,

542
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: but fair enough.

543
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 2: Sure I would agree.

544
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: But I also think teams picking the top will take

545
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: less to move back this year.

546
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: That's a fair I think that's a fair assumption to

547
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: Jets take David Bailey, so they get ed, they get

548
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: rvl Ree and David Bailey. Okay, I don't know if

549
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: they would do that.

550
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: No, that sounds pretty extre this exercise.

551
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: It's something different. Number five Cardnel Tate goes to the Giants.

552
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: My goodness, would that be a.

553
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: I get it. I mean, if wide receiver room, if

554
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna make Dart's life as easy as possible, which

555
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 3: should be the goal of the entire entire organization. I

556
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: think he's the offensive player that would do that for you.

557
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean, their own line is not perfect, but they

558
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: brought back Illumin or they have Thomas. I would think

559
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: that's in the cards.

560
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't shock me.

561
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would rather do that than than draft love

562
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 3: if I were them. Not because I love Scataboo, but

563
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: I mean just because they're okay at running back.

564
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Johnny Knoxville, Kim Sketty be number six, the Brands, they

565
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: stay in state. They take Sunny Styles linebacker out of it.

566
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: I guess they lost Bush. I always just assume that'll

567
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: be offense side notes.

568
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: But at this point, no offensive linemen have gone. They

569
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 2: could have their choice of any of those guys.

570
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but maybe they would have grab.

571
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Tate Sunny Styles could be the best player in this class.

572
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: So I get it. Side note, and maybe something we'll

573
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: talk about or even be buzzing at the owners meeting.

574
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: You were in Chicago yesterday, but it was kind of

575
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: under the radar that Miles Garrett did some stuff with

576
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: his contract that he could be traded. And I think

577
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 3: that there's a real possibility now that he is not

578
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: a Brown to start season.

579
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: I like that, oh man, Hopefully listen, I wouldn't hate

580
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: it if something happened some reports came out next week

581
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: and gave us something to talk about.

582
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: Now.

583
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see that being some buzz amongst the

584
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: people in the No.

585
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: Number seven Caleb Downs, So back to back, buck eyes

586
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: off the board as Downs goes to the Commanders.

587
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

588
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: Sure, Number eight another trade, Matt. The Saints send the

589
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: eighth pick to the Browns for the twenty fourth.

590
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: Pick, So the Browns and Jets would have two top

591
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: eight picks.

592
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 2: The twenty fourth pick, the thirty ninth pick in the

593
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: second round, and Cleveland's second rounder. Next year.

594
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 3: That's more like it.

595
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: That's more like it. And the Browns select Jordan Tyson

596
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: wide receiver out of Arizona State.

597
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: Seems early to me, but I guess Tate already won

598
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 3: and they had to feel it must felt like they

599
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 3: had to have one, you know. So now these are simulations,

600
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 3: These aren't real. People make these picks.

601
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: Exactly right, exactly right now. This would be very interesting

602
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: because number nine, the Chiefs are on the clock and

603
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: they could have their choice of any offensive lineman. Okay, also,

604
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,959
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Loves still there. This has them taking Francis Mauiga

605
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: out of Miami.

606
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't dislike that either. I mean, right tackle, they

607
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: moved on from Taylor they signed the other more last year.

608
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 3: Who's overpriced? You gotta be young attack or you gotta

609
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 3: be cheap at tackle. If you're gonna have a Mahomes

610
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 3: type contract, you know somewhere you got to figure that out.

611
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: I don't I think that's a good move. I and

612
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: it'd be a really good line.

613
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 2: Would be that that would make a lot of sense

614
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: for Kansas City. Number ten, the Bengals select Mansword Delayne

615
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: corner from LSU.

616
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: Quite possible.

617
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need all the help on defense.

618
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: I would think styles or downs ahead of him if

619
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: I were them, because linebacker's really really bad for them. Yes,

620
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: they were both gone.

621
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: They were both gone. Number eleven Jermaud McCoy corner out

622
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: of Tennessee. He's got a big pro day coming up

623
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: here in a few days.

624
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: They will hear some buzz about his health while we're

625
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 3: there too.

626
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: His pro day will be on Monday.

627
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: While we're OK, we'll definitely hear something.

628
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: They have something.

629
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I assume he's participating.

630
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: I would hope for Yeah, they've said that he is. Yeah.

631
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: Let's see here, the Rams and the Cowboys swap pick

632
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: twelve and thirteen. The Cowboys pick up an extra ninety

633
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: third overall from la third round pick from the Rams.

634
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: The Rams Selectman Roe Freeling tackle out of Georgia at twelve.

635
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: The Cowboys select Dylan Fennemon safety out of Oregon at thirteen.

636
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: Good for Cowboys, they would have taken them at twelve. Yeah, yeah,

637
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: pick up an extra something, extra something.

638
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: So fourteen the Ravens on the board. With only one

639
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: offensive lineman gone or sorry, two offensive linemen gone so far,

640
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: the Ravens select McKay lemon wide receiver USC.

641
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people, and I get it. Just

642
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: put FANU or Vega, you know, which is a huge need.

643
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: But a real wide receiver is not a bad move either.

644
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: No it is not, my friend, No it is not.

645
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: They need a lot of help on that offense.

646
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: They do. There's a lot of pieces they could use.

647
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: So they go Mackay Lemon at fourteen. He goes to Baltimore,

648
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: number fifteen. The Tampa Bay Bucks select Keldric falk ed

649
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: Rusher out of Auburn.

650
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: Steiers would like that he can't be in their sights.

651
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: Steelers would like this too, And I man, I guess

652
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if he lasted this long. But

653
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: it is running back. Jeremiah Love goes sixteen.

654
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: Ye can't imagine that happens.

655
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: But if you were Tennessee, if this was.

656
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: Well, you made it. Take them anyways, This was.

657
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: TNR Titans Nation Radio. Yeah, and we would say, right now,

658
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: you could trade back to sixteen, pick up eight anything.

659
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: Pick thirty three as well, and you get Jeremiah Love

660
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: still at sixteen. I think if we were Titans Nation Radio,

661
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: we'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

662
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: Now, I will say if he gets out of the

663
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: top eight or so, there aren't as many landing spots, right,

664
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 3: he could conceivably he's not.

665
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: Going to Miami. You know, he's not going to Dallas.

666
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: He's not going to Baltimore. I wouldn't think.

667
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think. I mean, I would think some teams

668
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: might start calling to trade up at that point.

669
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: I would absolutely think so if he starts to get

670
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: close to the to the double digit picks. Seventeenth, the

671
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: Lions select the key messador at Rusher out of the U.

672
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I always pigeon him. I always put them on team.

673
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: I always put him on a team that needs to

674
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: win now, and that fits often it's off in Tampa Bay,

675
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: you know.

676
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: Eighteen the Vikings select Caden Proctor, the big boy offensive

677
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: lineman out of Alabama.

678
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not sure oh line's a huge need, but

679
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 3: fair enough.

680
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: Nineteenth the Panthers take Caleb low MoU ends up going

681
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: ahead of fun at nineteen.

682
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 3: He's a pure tackle.

683
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: He is a pure tackle and there's a lot to

684
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: like with his game.

685
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

686
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: And then Matt the Cowboys on a clock again, it

687
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: picked twenty, but they make a trade with the Niners.

688
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: They move back to pick twenty seven and they pick

689
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: up an extra second rounder. The Niners leap frog the

690
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: Steelers to draft Spencer Fanu the other so the Utah

691
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: offensive lineman go back to back.

692
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: I was wondering how advanced this program is or whatever.

693
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: I like that because that's something that a team could

694
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: they could be Like Steeers are gonna take one of

695
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: these offensive lineman, we gotta go get them.

696
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 3: That's my exact thought. I'm like, oh, I give this

697
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: this credit for because that makes sense. I'm like, I'm

698
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: gonna have a hard time passing on Vanu. He might

699
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: be your left guard and then maybe left tackle. Yeah,

700
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: I've been John Lynch saying the same thing.

701
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: And I wouldn't like it if it played out like

702
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: that for the Steelers. I'd like the Cowboys to stay

703
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: there and you know.

704
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: Draft some some edge guy or something. Right.

705
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: But that's that's why I like this. And thanks to

706
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: all of our listeners for telling me to get my

707
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: head out of my rear end and get over to

708
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: the Pro Football Network. So Steelers on the Clock. It

709
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: picked twenty one met and yes, Venga Yoanna is still there.

710
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: Love it, as is Kenyon Sadik Peter Woods, Avon Terrell,

711
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Kaden McDonald, Omar Cooper Junior, k C. Matt's new draft crush,

712
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: Blake Miller, Brandon Seesa CJ, Allen ty Simpson. We also,

713
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: of course, Matt have let's see here, three trade offers.

714
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, I get accused of trading down too often, but.

715
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: We haven't yet in one of these. In our first

716
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 2: three s and R Drive mock drafts, we've stayed at

717
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: twenty one. Cowboys are man. The Cowboys getting acting, so

718
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: they're busy. Cowboys have offered us pick twenty seven and

719
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: pick fifty eight.

720
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: I think I'm comfortable going that far.

721
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: With one of our fourth rounders from this year as

722
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: well too, So we'd give up this pick and a

723
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: fourth rounder for pick twenty seven and fifty eight. I

724
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: think I would do that.

725
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: I think I would do that. I think you probably

726
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: lose out on Vega.

727
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: You might, you might.

728
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just saying you can't count on him

729
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: being there. Yeah, but my buddy Max would probably be around.

730
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: Concepts you owned has chanced to be there or another

731
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: wide receiver of note.

732
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs offer us pick twenty nine and pick seventy four

733
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: for this pick out the other one a better I

734
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: think the other one's a better deal. The Bengals were

735
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: not doing business with the Bengals. Nope, So should we

736
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: accept that Cowboys trade? I think we should.

737
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

738
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: Sure, We're just gonna draft Ben go and do the

739
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: same thing that we've done.

740
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: That's a good point, right, And he might be there.

741
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: He's a guard, he could fall.

742
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: Let's do it all right. Here's how it worked out.

743
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: At pick twenty one, the Cowboys took Avon Terrell Corner

744
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: out of Clemson, younger brother of aj Terrell.

745
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: I assumed they were coming up for a defensive player,

746
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: which I don't think hurt us bad.

747
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: No, but this did. Pick twenty two, the LA Chargers

748
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: select at a Penn State Venga you'll.

749
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 3: Want, Yeah, I would think they'd love him.

750
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: Blake Miller, the tackle out of Clemson, goes twenty third

751
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: to the Eagles. It feels like they would love to

752
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: add on the offensive line. If one of these guys is.

753
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: My favorite, So that doesn't break my heart.

754
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: O man. So now this would have been the Browns pick,

755
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: but it's the Saints pick from that trade we discussed earlier,

756
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: and they take Casey conception Ow wow, oh man, all

757
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: of our boys are coming off the balls.

758
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a risk here.

759
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: Twenty five, the Bears select Peter Woods, defensive tackle out

760
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 2: of Clemson, and twenty six, right before the Steelers draft,

761
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: the Bills select Omar Cooper, junior national champion out of Indiana. Oh, Matt,

762
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't like that.

763
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 3: I'd have no, we got hit pretty hard.

764
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: I might have some seller's remorse.

765
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we got hit pretty hard.

766
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: So ooh, this would be interesting. We have a trade

767
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 2: offer from the Chiefs, Matt, to move back two more

768
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 2: picks and to get a third rounder in next year's draft.

769
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: It's appealing. Now. You know, I'm gonna lean towards Max.

770
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: But do you think moving back just two picks, it

771
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: would be the Texans and the Chiefs picking in front

772
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: of us.

773
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: From what I recall, the Chiefs took a right tax.

774
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: Chiefs took a tackle already in this exercise, so I

775
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: don't know that seems protection.

776
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: But there's also like Boston from what I remember.

777
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: Yes, Boston is still there, your boy, MAXI Nhore is

778
00:34:59,239 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 2: still there.

779
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: Did Lemon go?

780
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: Lemon did go?

781
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 5: Yes?

782
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: So he went to the Ravens at fourteenth Yeah, Yeah,

783
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 2: Brandon Cissy Cisay is still there, Dangelo Pond's is still there.

784
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 2: The other wide receiver from Indiana, Serat is still there,

785
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: Chase Bistonis is still there. Pregnant is still there. I

786
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: don't know I would really consider this just because I

787
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: feel like if we move back to spots here, Max

788
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: is still going to be on the board. All right,

789
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: let's do it one more time. We're only moving back

790
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: two more spots, and we pick up the extra third

791
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 2: rounder for next year, which I.

792
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 3: Would love to get a little more stuff for next year.

793
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: Chiefs select Brandon Say, which would make sense. Yeah, after

794
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, moving on from Trent mccuffee, and we it

795
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: worked out for us, Matt the Texans select CJ. Allen,

796
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: linebacker out of Georgia. Okay, so we pick up an

797
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: extra third rounder to still have all the same options

798
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: basically that we would have best sitting. Yes, that I'd

799
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: make that trade more than the initial one, although i'llbe

800
00:35:59,120 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: a the initial.

801
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: One initial almost risky year. Yes, and you're moving back

802
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: that many spots, but we added I thought would be

803
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 3: there for this pick.

804
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 2: I did too. Yeah, we added, uh, we added a

805
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: Day two pick for this year. We added a Day

806
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: two pick for.

807
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 3: Next year, and I think we'd throw in a fourth.

808
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: We threw in a fourth to move back from twenty

809
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: one to twenty nine something.

810
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 3: I think we take Max here.

811
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: I think we do too. I'm who you.

812
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 3: Know, wouldn't have been hard to convince me at twenty one.

813
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: Exactly right, And I would love them here in a

814
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: situation like this, right, I mean we could talk about

815
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: we could talk about.

816
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 3: The pick too. I mean, I take another Oro lineman

817
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 3: on day two.

818
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: Could talk about Chris Bell here. You know, Chris Brazil

819
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: is still there. I mean there's there's some names, certainly,

820
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: but I think we.

821
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 3: Can intriguing receivers for sure.

822
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: I think we take Max E Nhure here. Is that

823
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: good with you?

824
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: That's very good.

825
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Everyone's everyone that hates us taking offensive

826
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: lineman and this exercise is going to be disappointed. But

827
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: at least we took a different one this time.

828
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: Then there's a roundabout way of getting there.

829
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: Here's how the last of the first round ended up.

830
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: The Dolphins select Kediq at pick thirty. I think that

831
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: would be smart. It'll be so smart.

832
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: I think they could take him with like nine or

833
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: ten round one.

834
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: Of the top ten players most likely in the draft,

835
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: and you build that nest up. Patriots select TJ. Parker

836
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,479
Speaker 2: at rusher out of Clemson. Seattle selects Chris Bell wide

837
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: receiver out of Louisville. Okay, let's take a break here,

838
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: perfect we'll continue with this exercise. Pick it up on

839
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,480

00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: and we are into round two. If you missed it

856
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 2: in our first segment, we made a couple of trade

857
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 2: backs to pick twenty nine. We picked up an extra

858
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 2: third rounder for next year, which we really like. Picked

859
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 2: up an extra Day two pick this year as well,

860
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 2: so we will.

861
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 3: Have five more picks to make.

862
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: We'll have two second rounders now and three thirds.

863
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes, we have five more picks to make.

864
00:38:59,000 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: I love it.

865
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: This is m I go to the second hour. Huh.

867
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 2: Maxie and h R was our pick at twenty nine.

868
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 2: Now into the second round.

869
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: Quick how the end of the first round, and it

870
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 3: was last cold.

871
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 2: Pick Sadiq, TJ. Parker and Chris Bell.

872
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, yep. I really like Chris Bell.

873
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: By the way, he's starting to He's starting to gain

874
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: on me a little bit too. The Titans now back

875
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 2: on the clock to start round two. From that trade

876
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: with the Jets, they take Chris Johnson Corner out of

877
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: San Diego State. We talked about him a little bit on.

878
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: Boy's been here, Sure to visit, but I don't think

879
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 3: that would hurt him.

880
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: Thirty four the Cardinals go the nosiest defensive tackle out

881
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: of Ohio State, Kata McDonald.

882
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 3: That's about where he should go.

883
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 2: Tight Titans with their original their own second round pick

884
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 2: here at thirty five overall, they go Emmanuel McNeil Warren

885
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: out of out of Toledo, the safety so hey for them,

886
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 2: they trade back, they still get Jeremiah Love, they get

887
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: Chris Johnson, they get Emmanuel McNeil Warren. I mean that

888
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: would be other stuff. Yeah, that'd be a useful day

889
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: for for the Titans. A Ouseley safety out of LSU

890
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: goes thirty six to the eighties. That is probably the

891
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: earliest I've seen him, also climbing up these these exercises rapidly.

892
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: The mustached man from Texas Tech, Jacob Rodriguez, goes thirty

893
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: seventh to the Giants. He seems like he's got some

894
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: hardball type qualities.

895
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: And the.

896
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: Chase bistanis thirty eighth to the Texans.

897
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

898
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: The Saints back on the clock here this part of

899
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 2: that pick where the Browns moved up to get Jordan Tyson.

900
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: The Saints take trade Ann Stukes, the corner out of Arizona.

901
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs take Antonio Williams, wide receiver from Clemson's gaming Steam

902
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: as well. Bengals go Christian Miller, defensive tackle out of Georgia. So,

903
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: of course, not surprisingly, but both the Cincinnati's first two

904
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: picks end up being on a defensive player and then

905
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: Matt At pick forty two, the Cardinals trade up with

906
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: the Saints to draft Tie Simpsons, Simpson quarterback out of Alabama.

907
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he's gonna go in the first round.

908
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: I'm I'm leaning that way too.

909
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 3: Like Arizona, the Jets trade back into the first round.

910
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: If you're Arizona, you can get them at pick forty two.

911
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: I think that would be good business.

912
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

913
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: Chris Brazl goes to the Dolphins at forty three. They

914
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: need help everywhere, but certainly at wide receiver. Denzel Boston

915
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: goes to the Jets at forty four. Nice back, yeah,

916
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: back to back wide receivers there. Off the board. Sam Hecked,

917
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: the center from k State from Kansas State goes to

918
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: the Ravens here at forty.

919
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: Five, obviously filling Neaed.

920
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: Yep, it's certainly a big absence left by Tyler Linderbaum

921
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: forty six. Colton Hood, the corner from Tennessee, goes to

922
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: the Bucks forty seven. Oh, man, I would have liked

923
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: this guy to be on the board for us, and

924
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: a few more picks. Jeremy Bernard wide receiver from Role Tide.

925
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 3: Falling off the boarder not making me super happy.

926
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 2: Same. I love picking up I love picking up that

927
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: extra pick. But man, I wouldn't have hated to be

928
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: in this range either on V your spot seven.

929
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: Because you got a kind of monitor this stuff. But

930
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 3: in the real world, if we would have made those trades,

931
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: maybe I would have moved up to forty two for

932
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: a receiver. Yes, yeah, you got a lot of AMMO.

933
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: I was actually I almost brought that up when we

934
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: started this segment too. Forty eight Keith Abney, the second

935
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 2: corner from Arizona State, goes to the Falcons. Okay, forty

936
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 2: ninth pick. The Texans trade up here with the Minnesota

937
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: Vikings to draft Lee Hunter. Another nosiest dec from Texas Town,

938
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: Demetrius crown Over the tackle from A and M goes

939
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: to the Lions here at fifty, So they go two

940
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: offensive linemen with their first two picks. Fifty one the

941
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: undersized but just junkyard Dog Bulldog tough as nails di'angelo

942
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: Ponds goes to the Carolina Panthers last pick before the Steelers.

943
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: The Chargers trade up a few spots to draft Zion Young,

944
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: the edge rusher out of Missouri. That would certainly not

945
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 2: break our heartuse So, Matt, here's who's still left. Emmanuel Pregnant,

946
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 2: the guard out of Oregon. There's a couple edge rushers left,

947
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: but don't think Anthony Hill, junior linebacker out of Texas,

948
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 2: Genesis Smith safety out of Arizona. Caleb Banks is still

949
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: on the board. Skyler Bell is still on the board.

950
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: Ted Hurst is still on the board. Those those are

951
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 2: the bigger names.

952
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 3: I really like Hurst. I think you'd have to consider

953
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 3: Caleb Banks here. But I don't think you can ignore

954
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 3: receiver till the third round.

955
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 2: I agree, and I.

956
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: And I am leaning towards two of the picks remaining

957
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 3: wide receivers. Yeah, especially if you're going to take a

958
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 3: small school guy like hers.

959
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: I would have loved one of those last couple of

960
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: wide receivers Jeremy Bernard or Denzel Boston or one of

961
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: those guys to stay on the board till here. But

962
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: I think I'm with you. I I gotta get a

963
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: wide receiver here. I'm not trade We got a couple

964
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 2: of trade offers, but I'm not trading down again.

965
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 3: I just by receivers. I have a feeling Hurst would

966
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: be my favorite, but I can't remember if you said

967
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: Sara's name or not.

968
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 2: Sarat is still there, Skylar Bell, ted Hurst, Zachariah.

969
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: Braak again pretty soon.

970
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 2: Right, Elijah Surrat? Say that again?

971
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 3: Do we pick again? Pretty soon?

972
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: We pick again? Yes? And five picks for five picks? Yes,

973
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 2: So Surrat's still there, Branch is still there, Bryce Lance

974
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 2: is still there, ted Hurst is still there, Skylar Bell

975
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 2: is still there, Malachi Field's still there. I think it's

976
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 2: Hurst or Serrat here.

977
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: Me too, like your favorite. I might even take another

978
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: one in five picks.

979
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: I might, I really might, because they're very different. I

980
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: think there's a higher ceiling with ted Hurst. I think

981
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 2: there's a higher floor with Elijah Surrat.

982
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's who do you want to play? Now? Who

983
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 3: thinks you mentioned a lot of receiver names that wouldn't

984
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 3: break my heart to go back to back?

985
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 4: Here?

986
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 2: Who who fits the who fits the Mike McCarthy and

987
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: pairing with Pittman and DK moldbetter Surrat or ted Hurst?

988
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: I think Surrat's a little redundant to Pittman, not necessarily

989
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 3: in a bad way, and that he can and do

990
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff where I think a little speed

991
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 3: wouldn't break my heart.

992
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: We also, though, consider Omar Khan's history three straight years

993
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: of drafting somebody from the national championship team. You want

994
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: to go ted Hurst, Let's go ted Hurst.

995
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm falling in love with him a little bit.

996
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll get surat here in just a few more picks.

997
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: And I might even consider that if he doesn't go

998
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: in these next couple and then it's being done at

999
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 3: receiver and have a pretty good group.

1000
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: Fifty three we take ted Hurst wide receiver out of

1001
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 2: Georgia State. Fifty four the Eagles take Malachi Lawrence ed

1002
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 2: rusher out of ucf fifty five the Packers take Gabe

1003
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: Lucas edge rusher out of Illinois. Boy, this is ending

1004
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: up well. I like where this is going. Fifty six

1005
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: the Jags take Emmanuel Pregnant guard out of Oregon. And

1006
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: in fifty seven I would have considered this guy if

1007
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 2: he wasn't off the board, along with another wide receiver,

1008
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 2: Anthony Hill Junior, the backer from the Texans. Intriguing Matt.

1009
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: I think it I would think about Caleb Banks, but

1010
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: I think I'm going Sarat.

1011
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: I'm super intrigued by Ay of Bangs, but I'm just

1012
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 3: trying to think about next year's first round. Here's quarterback

1013
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 3: right right, So these people in place.

1014
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 2: So this is the pick we received from the uh

1015
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 2: from the Cowboys when we traded down in one of

1016
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: our trades there that we made at pick fifty eight.

1017
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: I love it, Matt. I was really worried about how

1018
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: this wide receiver.

1019
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 3: I thought we were gonna be really reaching same.

1020
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: I love this. If you're telling me right now, you

1021
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: could trade down. You can get Maxie and Nature, you

1022
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 2: could get Ted Hurst, you can get Elijah Serrat. Yeah, yeah,

1023
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd go Fish. I think I take that.

1024
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 3: I think I take that too, especially with the future

1025
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 3: third and you get a third round pick for you

1026
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: chief the Super Bowl next year. It's still a late

1027
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 3: the top one hundred pick.

1028
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: Elijah Serrat. Oh man, I love it. I love how

1029
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: that all played out. So we are through two rounds

1030
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: here and we're due for a break, but we'll leave

1031
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: shape though we are in great I love how this

1032
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: played out. I was really concerned. I love it now.

1033
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 2: Will Lee corner from A and M goes to the

1034
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: Vikings at fifty nine. Genesis Myth off the board at

Speaker 2: sixty to the Bears, Keyante Scott sixty one to the Rams.

1036
