1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What's up, straight

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Fire fan, It's me Jason McEntire, Straight Fire For Friday,

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: April twenty ninth, final weekday of the month of April,

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: the calendar turns to May. You know what that means?

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: A summer's approaching, Ladies and gentlemen. That means the end

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: of the NFL kind of off season. It's starting to

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: peter out. The NFL Draft was Thursday night. It was bonkers, bananas,

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: any word you want to use to describe it. It It

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: was incredible, including two huge NFL trades, well one significant

10
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: one that left a quarterback tweeting out what the f

11
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: and then a huge trade, and then we had three

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: elimination games in the NBA. I told you guys, we

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: had Chappelle show tickets. Your boy had to skip. I know,

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta miss I did see him in New

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: York way back in the day after he had come

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: back from quitting his Comedy Central show. He was incredible,

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 1: but I really wanted to see him last night because

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: of the potential to discuss, of course, Chris Rock versus

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Will Smith. But I'll just have to hear my wife

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: explain it to me when she wakes up later this morning.

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: As for the NFL Draft, my goodness, what an incredible night. Listen.

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, guys, I know that the NFL Draft,

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: like we you we like certainty. Oh, this guy's going

24
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: number one, he's a Slambilt quarterback. We like the stars.

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: This is a night with the uncertainty of who's going

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: in the top five, top ten. That led to real interest.

27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: And I had my kids open house, which was you know,

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: obviously that's a fun night. You see the other parents there.

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: It's school had been closed for open houses the last

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: two years. Just stinks and it was good to get back.

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: You finally see the teacher, no masks, and it's like

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: it was a good night. Except my phone is pining

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: the whole time with oh my gosh, jets, oh mg,

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, like just I mean, it was just crazy

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: and I have to keep checking my phone. I mean,

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is the job I got into. I

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: felt bad, but I couldn't help myself. And the draft

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: that is huge for everything I do. My paychecks are

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: dependent on what's happening in sports. I need drama. I

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: get a huge NFL trade, I get two big ones

41
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: three NBA elimination games. It's kind of locked in three

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: and two an NBA gambling Luca kind of let me

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: down there, But it was a low scoring game. I

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: should have factored that in damn it. At any rate,

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: the reason I love the draft is because the moves

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: that were made Thursday and that are made tonight and Saturday,

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: there is trickle down and it leads to, oh, wait

48
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: a minute, this guy gets kind of on the hook

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: next year. Oh okay, and you know you could start

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: looking into the future. You know, we love to do

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: that for sports, and in the NFL it's it's it's

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: getting fascinating. I mean, folks, six wide receivers taken in

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: the top eighteen, I actually believe since there's only one

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round, right, Kenny pick att to Pittsburgh.

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Malik Willis did not go. Corral did not go, Desert

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Ritter did not go. Sam Howell did not go. I'm

57
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: sure what or two of them goes in the first

58
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: like seven or eight picks of the second round this evening,

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna start with the A. J. Brown trade

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: because the Philadelphia Eagles, just listen, they keep making moves

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: and I got. I gotta be honest, the Eagles are

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: putting something together pretty fierce. I think you've got to

63
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: consider throwing a few shekels on the Eagles. Let's see

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: when the schedule comes out in a few weeks, like

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: can this team win the division? It really does boil

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: down to Jalen Hurts. But when you can add a

67
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: top six receiver in A J. Brown, are you kidding

68
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: me down? They did have to pay out the nose

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: for him, Okay, Jalen Brown was I sorry? Jalon Brown?

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: A J. Brown extremely expensive and it kind of makes

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: me glad that the Jets did not back up the

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: brinks and trade for Deebo Samuel because when you hear

73
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: A J. Brown got four years, a hundred million, you're like, Okay,

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. What was the guaranteed because

75
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: that's really what all these guys want, the guaranteed money. Reminder,

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Tyree Kill got thirty mill guaranteed, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins

77
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: seven Stefan digs, twenty four and A J. Brown came

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: right in there at twenty five million guaranteed dollars just

79
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: for signing guys. I love Deebo Samuel. He's not in

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that top echelon at the top five receivers. He's not.

81
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: He had one one thousand yards season. He's been injured

82
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: a lot. He's really good. He's top ten. It's not

83
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: a slight Cooper Cup is better than him. And if

84
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Deepo Stami wants twenty five mill, but that's San Francisco's problem,

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna instantly help the Jets. And

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is twenty five mill to Deebo.

87
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: I just I don't think. I don't listen. I don't

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: think a j Brown's worth bill. But the market talks,

89
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: and listen, Tyreek Hill. You're gonna give Tyree Hill thirty

90
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: if your Miami Hell yeah, quarterback on a rookie deal.

91
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: I know the counter is Jet your quarterbacks on a

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: rookie deal. Why not? I think Garrett Wilson could could

93
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: put together a big season as a rookie. Obviously, I

94
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: don't think Garret Wilson could put together anything in the

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: stratosphere of what Deebo Samuel did last year. But you

96
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: also don't have to pay him like Debo once and

97
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: then you get kind of like a pouty Debo It's

98
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: a tough, tough one, but I love the Jets. We'll

99
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: get to the Jets eventually. Anyways, A J. Brown goes

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: to the Eagles. They now have wide receiver room. Davonte Smith,

101
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: who they draft in the first round last year, had

102
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: a really strong rookie year. Jalen Reagor who probably gets

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: one final chance. He has not been good since being overdrafted.

104
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Quiz Watkins is kind of their deep outside guy. Although

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: a J. Brown now Brown is going to stretch the

106
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: field so much. Remember Dallas Goddard at tight end is

107
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: very good. Like this Eagle's offense is gonna eat and

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line is Listen, I'm just saying this is

109
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: like strong Eagles team next year. If the offensive line

110
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: stays healthy, I think you've really got to look. They

111
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: also got Jordan Davis. Philadelphia Eagles got the awesome nose tackle,

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, whatever you wanna call him out of Georgia.

113
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Like these are two home run gets. Like you if

114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you gray down who won the biggest, I think you

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: probably listen. The Jets are gonna be in there the Giants,

116
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: but they each had two picks in the top ten.

117
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: I think you have to put the Eagles at or

118
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: near the top of the list. When you can get

119
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis and A J. Brown. Now you didn't draft him,

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: but you picked him up. And the Eagles, I don't

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna leap frog the Cowboys will see.

122
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys went and got another offensive lineman, which is fine. Um,

123
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: they've still got some questions on the outside. You go

124
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: toe to toe and who's got the better offense. I mean, yes,

125
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Dak is better, but uh Miles Sanders or Ezekiel Elliott.

126
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a huge difference, although Miles Sanders

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: was such a disappointment last year. Um A J. Brown

128
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: ceedee Lamb like uh Devonte Smith. I don't even know

129
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: who the Dallas two is. Michael gallops out for a minute,

130
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard edge and tight end like offensive line. It's close, folks.

131
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Eagles are not far off from the Cowboys. I think

132
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: you really got to look at the Eagles to win

133
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: the division. So I thought that was the biggest move. Now,

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: the other trade is the one that ended up with

135
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson simply tweeting, wtf they traded his wide receiver,

136
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: his boy, Hollywood Brown to Arizona Arizona gets Hollywood Brown

137
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: in exchange for the let's see what it was. It

138
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: was the twenty pick. So basically Arizona wanted receiver twenty three.

139
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Everybody knew that. And there was a run on receiver

140
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: six in the top eighteen. And at that point Arizona

141
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: is like, okay, fine, there's nobody we want, we might

142
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: as well trade for Hollywood Brown. Now I know what

143
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: you're saying, like, Hollywood Brown, what what is that guy done?

144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: He's done? Is he? Is he really good? Hollywood Brown?

145
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Remember he was fast and he was supposed to stretch

146
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: the field and open things up for Lamar Jackson and

147
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: be downfield. I'll read off his stats. Marquis Brown had

148
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: He's only miss two games, which is nice in his career.

149
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: But he had a ninety one catches for a thousand

150
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: and eight yards last year, six touchdowns. Did have three fumbles.

151
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: I remember two of them because I think they cost

152
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: me money. The real reason they got Marquis Brown is

153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: go back and look at guests where he played college

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: football Oklahoma. Do you want to guess who was on

155
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: that team? Tyler Murray. Okay, if you are in a

156
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: tense standoff with your quarterback as Arizona is, although they

157
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: just picked up his fifth year. What do you do

158
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: to make him happy? You kind of bend over backwards.

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: You make him happy in any way possible, and that

160
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: includes trading for his friend from college, Hollywood Brown. Now

161
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna say, wait a minute.

162
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: The Cardinals give up twenty three for Hollywood Brown, while

163
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles give up eighteen for a J eighteen and

164
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: the third round pick. Time out. Guys. I know it's

165
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: easy to kill Arizona. Everybody wants to find on the

166
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: surface that doesn't look great. But Hollywood Brown has been

167
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: in the league now for three years. You don't have

168
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: he's on the rookie scale. You don't have to pay

169
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: him instantly. The Eagles had to unload fifty seven mill

170
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed for a J. Brown, fifty seven twenty five a year,

171
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven mill guaranteed on signing folks, it's ridiculous for

172
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: a J. Brown. They don't Arizona doesn't have to do

173
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: that for Hollywood Brown. So the win there is a

174
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: We had a fast guy, a Burner replaced Christian Kirk.

175
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk was a streaker down the field, and Hollywood

176
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: Brown will do fit the same role. And oh, by

177
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: the way, he's friends with Kyler Murray. Hey, Kyler, we

178
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: love your buddy, we want you to stay here long term.

179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna go grab your guy, Hollywood Brown. Now, remember

180
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: they do have to pay Kyler big time, so Hollywood

181
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Brown will just be a bit of a rental. Someone

182
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: else can pay him next year, or he can stay

183
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: in place of you know, a J. Green or whatever.

184
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: But ultimately, Hollywood Brown is not gonna get one of

185
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: those big second year contracts. He's still got a lot

186
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 1: to earn. I thought this was a good trade for Arizona.

187
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to spend a lot of money on

188
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: your first round PI because they would have Hollywood Brown

189
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: comes in in his fourth year, you don't have a

190
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: ton to learn right in the Kingsbury Air Raid system.

191
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a good get for Arizona. I think

192
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: they're a playoff team next year. Not a lot of

193
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: people agree. I like Arizona. I like the trade. That's

194
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: a win. After that, you know what, I'm not gonna

195
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: go through every pick here, but starting at the top obviously,

196
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: I listen, we've talked about Trayvon Walker, the alignment from

197
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Georgia for the last couple of weeks here on the pod.

198
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: You guys know, I'm not a huge fan. I get it.

199
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: He tested well. The profile was incredible, you know. Blah

200
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: blah blah. Miles Scarrett is in the stratosphere for his

201
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: broad jump and his arm length and all that stuff.

202
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: And I get that. That's fine. You could do the measurables.

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: The numbers don't lie. Fine, you know what else doesn't lie?

204
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: The tape and you watch it. He doesn't pop to me. Now,

205
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: I know that he was asked to do certain things personally,

206
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: but I've taken him one. No, I would not have.

207
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: But I get what they did. They they that was

208
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: the move. Jacksonville gets him at one now, second pick overall. Obviously,

209
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: uh Aidan hutchinsonto Detroit was a slam dunk. The interesting

210
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: side note here is multiple people were reporting that a

211
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: large gambling syndicate over the weekend hit Cavon Thibodeaux to

212
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: go to and they lowered the price. It was like,

213
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, plus whatever eight and went down to

214
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: like plus one hundred some some insane number. Because this

215
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: gambling outfit went heavy. They lost their shirt. Aidan Hutchison

216
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: to Detroit. The third pick was I thought that, you know,

217
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: the first pivot point, and it was kind of a

218
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: big one. Derek Stingley Jr. Really Houston, I mean is

219
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: that hey? I would call that questionable at best, but

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: it's clear they were in the trade up spot. Nobody

221
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: wanted to trade up. There was nobody anybody wanted that

222
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: badly at three, so they picked what they think is

223
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: the best cornerback in the draft. I don't think he's

224
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: the best corner in the draft. In Stingley was incredible one. No,

225
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: and I just were recent history last decade corner backs

226
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: taken in the top five. Jalen Ramsey went fifth. Is

227
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: he as good as Jalen Ramsey? Absolutely not. Derek Stanley

228
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: was great as a freshman. He ain't gonna be Jialen Ramsey.

229
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry he saysn't. It's just not as big. Is

230
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: he gonna be as good as Denzel Ward? Wiltonzel, We're

231
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: just got paid in Cleveland as one of the best

232
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Maybe he'll be as good as

233
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward? And then Jeff Okuda went third oh from

234
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State to Detroit. He has been injured and allions

235
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: have been a dumpster fire. He has not panned out.

236
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm not selling Okuda. I'm just saying he hasn't been

237
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: good yet. That doesn't mean he can't be good, but

238
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: is stinctly going to be closer to Okuda or Ramsey

239
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: and Ward. I don't know Houston defense thinks personally. I

240
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: would not have done it. I don't. I think if

241
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: you're ranking the most important positions after quarterback quarterback obvious,

242
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: depending on who you talked to, left tackle or edge rusher.

243
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: You've gotta be able to protect your quarterback and you've

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: gotta be able to get there. So quarterback and then

245
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: whatever order you want left tackle or edge rusher. After that,

246
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it's probably cornerback or wide receiver, and you

247
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: know you're investing a lot instinctly at three for a

248
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: guy who's been hurt much of the last two years.

249
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: I didn't love it all. Right, Now, we can spend

250
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: time with my Jets because I know a lot of

251
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: Jets fans are tuning in. We'll start with this. In

252
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: early April, my mock draft had Sauce Gardner at for

253
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson at ten, and that panned out the week

254
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: of the draft. Of course, you know you hear all

255
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: this stuff and scuttle button. I bought the height that

256
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: the Jets would would grab Thibodeaux. Idiotic move on my part.

257
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? I'm thrilled with

258
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: sauce Gardner six ft three, four speed, zero touchdowns allowed

259
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: in eleven career snaps. And you can go look up

260
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: the article on the Internet where Nick Saban talked about

261
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: sauce Gardner and the national champion the semifinal National semifinal

262
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: game where he did not want his guys in press coverage.

263
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: He did not want to throw at sauce Gardner, so

264
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: he would do like bunch formations. He would keep guys

265
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: moving around and in motion, and ultimately he just didn't

266
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: really end up throwing to his star receiver Jamison Williams,

267
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: who went in the middle of the first round. This

268
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: is because he wanted to avoid sauce Gardner. This is

269
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: repeat Nick Saban avoiding throwing a Gardener. Jamison Williams on

270
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner when matched up, had one catch for negative

271
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: two yards. This guy is the real deal. Now, is

272
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: he have a chance to be a Richard Sherman type

273
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: we'll see he's faster than Sherman. He's six three. We'll

274
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: see what happens. I'm extremely optimistic, although as a Jets fan,

275
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: trust me, I lived through when they drafted that kid

276
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: out of Alabama. Spacing on his name right now. But

277
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: it's probably a good thing that I'm forgetting because he

278
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: was a colossal bust um. But they draft him in

279
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: the top ten. He plays like, I don't know, maybe

280
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: six games and then he kept getting hurt and that

281
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: was it. I will call up his name here, No,

282
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm that's not Dern Webb. D Millner. D Milliner went

283
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: ninth overall in Are you ready for this? He played

284
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: twenty one football games in the NFL. He had three interceptions.

285
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: He lasted with the Jets for three seasons and that

286
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: was it. He did not start a game in the

287
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: third year out of the league of twenty four, I

288
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: would like, where are they now? A D. Millner? So

289
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: you have like, you know, you get a little nervous

290
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: when that's the last time he draft out a cornerback high. Uh,

291
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, you just gotta pray Gardner stays healthy. But

292
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: they got DJ Read to be their number two cornerback

293
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: in free agency, this is gonna be a new defense,

294
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: and then they add they traded up from thirty five

295
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round. There was a

296
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: hot rumor about the guy we talked to yesterday on

297
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: the pod, Jermaine Johnson at f SU, that the Jets

298
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: could look at it before if he's there at ten.

299
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I was not told. Rely buying that obviously. And next thing,

300
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, Johnson bypasses the Vikings who trade out and

301
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: basically everyone, and you know, you're in the mid twenties

302
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait a minute, nobody's taken Jermaine Johnson.

303
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: Is there are there red flags we don't know about.

304
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I think he dropped, as we discussed, because he was

305
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: twenty three years old. You know, when you're twenty two

306
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: rushing the passer against year old tackles, you are going

307
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: to win. You're bigger and stronger at twenty two than

308
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: most of these younger guys are. And you know, Jermaine

309
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: Johnson slides Jets the side. Wait a minute, we know

310
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: this guy is pretty talented. D ACC Defensive Player of

311
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the Year, Like we we gotta lock him up. So

312
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: they trade from thirty five to twenty six and get

313
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson, who will I would say very likely start

314
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: for the Jets. I mean, if not, he's going to

315
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: have a chance to start or be he's certainly gonna

316
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: be in the rotation to play significantly. Because you know

317
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Jets defensive line good has some talent, but it hasn't

318
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: been great. And if you remember last year, they spent

319
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: all their money, well not all their money, they had

320
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot of money. They spent a ton of money

321
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: in free agency, um on a kid out of Cincinnati.

322
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: They went and grabbed him because he could brush the passer. You,

323
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: of course, remember what happened in training camp or preseason

324
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: before the season even started, Carl Lawson, guy, they sunk

325
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: out of a ton of millions of dollars in two

326
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: injured out for the season Achilles. So now you'll have

327
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: laws in Jermaine Johnson on the edges, Quinny Williams and

328
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankins. Inside, you've got two new cornerbacks in Soft

329
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: Gardner and and DJ read Like I'm telling you, the

330
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: Jets just remade their defense with those with those moves,

331
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: So you get two starters. I like it. I'm not

332
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: ready to give him eleven or twelve wins and put

333
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: him in the playoffs. But let's see the schedule. Although

334
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: undeniable that the Jets huge win, Fox Sports Radio has

338
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: to listen live now quickly on Garrett Wilson at ten, Folks, really,

339
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: how do you not love this guy? Six? I know

340
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: he's only six ft hundred buck eighty five. But the

341
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: Jets now have a track team on the outside for

342
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. They got Garrett Wilson forty, Elijah Moore, the

343
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: burner at ole, Miss Braxton Barrios, who's a four three

344
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: five guy, and then Corey Davis is the only non

345
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: track team dude who's like their possession receiver. Now they

346
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of size. Maybe they grab a

347
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: big receiver later, but you know, at the at the

348
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: risk of gushing about the Jets, if Zach Wilson can

349
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: make any kind of leap, McKay Beckton can play all

350
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: six team games. They picked up Usama the tight end

351
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: and Tyler Conklin. Like Jets are basically remaking a lot

352
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: of their star positions. And folks, they're gonna be feisty

353
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: this year. I got a good feeling. I'm not ready.

354
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to put him in the playoffs. All

355
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: I'll say is I have a good feeling about my

356
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: Jets this year. I do say that every April um

357
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: after the Jets, who who else? Let's see top ten

358
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: will buzz through this year. New York Giants they had

359
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: a good draft. They picked on Cavon Thibodeau and Evan Neil.

360
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: They met. The Giants tackles now are Andrew Thomas from

361
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Georgia and Evan Neil from Alabama. Little sec flavor. Panthers

362
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: got a Kwanu, the tackle from n See State. Nice

363
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: little regional fit there. I was surprised Drake London went eight.

364
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: That was trying to get a former NFL receiver who

365
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: Drake London's been working with here out here in l

366
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: A for the last few weeks, try to get him

367
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: on the pot. It hasn't panned out, but I'm surprised

368
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: at that pick. I know he's six five, but if

369
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: Atlanta thinks they're getting the next Julio Jones, like, come on, guys,

370
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: like Drake London is a really nice player, and congrats

371
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: to Drake the Rapper for betting on him to be

372
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: the first received. We're taking a nice win. But with

373
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley going to the gambling suspension, you need somebody Drake.

374
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see the Drake London that early. That was

375
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: just a miss on my part. I'm rooting for him,

376
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens. In Atlanta ninth Charles Cross,

377
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: they went line um Saints traded up for Olave at eleven.

378
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams Lions trade up, by the way, just to

379
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: file away for the gamblers Detroit Lions. I don't totally

380
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: know what to make of it, but I did kind

381
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: of like their draft Jamison Williams, Like this is a

382
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: guy who had eight touchdowns of fifty or more yards.

383
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: That's last season. That's the best market college football in

384
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Just a big play burner. So now you

385
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: add DJ Shark in free agency. Josh Reynolds finished pretty

386
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: strong with them, and of course I'm on ross st. Brown.

387
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: It was a monster fourth round pick and he had

388
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: nine d catches for nine twelve yards last year For

389
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, that's huge. I'm hoping like the

390
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: Jets tenth pick overall gets to n I mean they're

391
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna have Listen, they're gonna have some options. Now Golf

392
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: is still the quarterback. We'll see what they do day

393
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: two or day three. They're gonna give a chance to succeed.

394
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: And um, I kind of think Detroit's putting some stuff together.

395
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: We don't know if Chicago is going to be any good.

396
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota in new coaches. Uh, the Green Bay Packers or

397
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: the next tave we'll talk about. I don't know. Listen,

398
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Apparently it's being very zen about the Packers

399
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: drafting two defenders with the two first round picks, no

400
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: receiver after losing Davante. Oh but we got we got,

401
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: we got Sammy Watkins. Yeah, that's it. Sammy Watkins. Will

402
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins have caught more than fifteen balls by Thanksgiving.

403
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Sammy Watkins is always hurt. Always. I don't

404
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: think he's you know, throwing a scare into defensive coordinators.

405
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: They're not losing sleep at night over Uh Sammy Watkins.

406
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's just that's not who he is anymore.

407
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: And I remember I did the gambling show for Fox,

408
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: and I think to draft, Uh what would the Packers

409
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: first pick overall be a wide receiver was like minus

410
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: two or something. That's how confident the market was that

411
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: the Packers were going receiver because they lost Avante. This

412
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: goes back to and file it away for every year.

413
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: Teams don't draft need they just draft the best players.

414
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: That's the move. Oh we need a linebacker, we need this.

415
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Nobody does that. Nobody's smart. The Packers they went shopping

416
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: in the SEC. They got Quay Walker, linebacker, and they

417
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: got Davonte Wyatt defensive tackle. So by my count, Georgia

418
00:22:52,840 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: had Lloyd Walker, Jordan Davis all going first round, and

419
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: of course Trayvon Walker. So four defenders from the team

420
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: that bottled up Alabama. Not bad, not bad at all.

421
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: That's a pretty And of course their linebacker, you know,

422
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: is going to go early. They're on. Sorry, there are

423
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: other linebacker, Nacobe Dean, who it's This is the weird

424
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: thing about the NFL. Like if you watched Nakobe Dean,

425
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: the linebacker in the games against Alabama, the playoff games forever,

426
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: He's just making every play. He's a heat seeking missile.

427
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: The guys unbelievable talent comes to the draft and they're

428
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: scooping up all of his teammates and not him. It's

429
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: just it is weird. I know, that's how it is.

430
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, NFL schemes are different and

431
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: they want certain size and weight and length, and you

432
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: just wonder, I mean, there's playmaker. Like the guy that

433
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: I kept coming back to was Zach Thomas. I don't

434
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: know if you guys remember him. So he was a

435
00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: linebacker four. I think he went to Texas Tech Zach Thomas.

436
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: It was, yeah, it was Texas Tech college. Um, and

437
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: he was, you know, good football player. But they they're

438
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: just's sound like their defense was any good. But you

439
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: could see this guy's talented, you know. Um, when he

440
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: was at Texas Tech, he was the back when it

441
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: was the Southwest Conference, it was this. He was a

442
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: Southwest Constant Conference Defensive Player of the Year, finalists for

443
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: the butt Kiss first Team All American. Like an awesome player.

444
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, but you know he's five eleven

445
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: to forty. I don't know, it's probably not gonna pan

446
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: out that. All the guy does is get drafted in

447
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: the fifth round by the Miami Dolphins and he proceeds

448
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: to crush first Team, All Pro five times, Second Demon

449
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Pro twice, a C a f C Defensive Rookie of

450
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: the Year, Like the guy was a machine, led the

451
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: NFL and tackles twice. He was a great football player.

452
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: He was like and again, I think the Kobe Dean

453
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: is obviously better than Zach Thomas was in college. But

454
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: I is Nakobe Dean gonna be All Pro five times?

455
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, We'll see where he goes

456
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: and what the scheme is. But it's just so strange

457
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: to see some of these guys dominate college football and

458
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: then the draft comes around, You're like, wait, why aren't

459
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: they taking that guy? So anyway, I like n Kobe

460
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: Dean wherever he goes, but I like all the Georgia guys. Um.

461
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: I have this pick that I liked in the four

462
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: at fourteen Ravens snagger gentleman by the name of Kyle Hamilton's.

463
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: One of our guests this week had him number one

464
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: on their board. Kyle Hamilton's obviously a superstar Notre dame.

465
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens used to have this guy named Ed Reid.

466
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: Anybody remember him in the twenties that the comparisons are

467
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: gonna be flying. It's a little silly, but in a

468
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: division where the Bengals have great receivers, the Brown's gotta

469
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper. The Steelers always gonna have some receivers. It's

470
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: good to have Kyle Hamilton back there kind of patrolling

471
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: the secondary. I like the kid. I think he's gonna

472
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: do great and ball Timore. I mean, that's a great

473
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: cultural fit. And I think let's see where he went. Yeah,

474
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: it was at Houston that went. Uh. Yeah, Houston had

475
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: had the chance to take to Kyle Hamilton's f Well,

476
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: no they didn't. I'm sorry. Houston was a fifteen and

477
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: Philly had to trade up. It looks like two. I'm

478
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: sorry Baltimore had to trade No, they didn't have to

479
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: trade up. Man, Houston just traded back like idiots. Unbelievable.

480
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: So Philly knew that Baltimore wanted Jordan Davis, so they

481
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: Philadelphia trades up to thirteen grabs Davis. Baltimore says, fine,

482
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: we'll settle for Kyle Hamilton's Houston Texans. So screwed and

483
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: ill prepared, they ended up taking an offensive guard, Kenyan Green.

484
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: Not not a horrible pick, but you know, Davis mills

485
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: Is probably like, hey, guys, can you get me some help.

486
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: I mean John Dodson went to pick after to Washington

487
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: kind of like him, small and quick, you like a

488
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: little bit more size than what Dotson has. He's not

489
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: in the Wilson class, uh for me, But I think

490
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: Dotson is going to be successful um in Washington opposite

491
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. I did think that, you know, the the

492
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: whole Kenny Pickett thing made me sad from Malik Willis.

493
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, Malik Willis cozied up with Mike Tomlin at

494
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl and all people have been doing to

495
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: a doing is connecting those two for the longest time.

496
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: And from mobiliq Willis to not get picked by Pittsburgh

497
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: but they draft Kenny Pickett, that's gotta hurt. And I

498
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: know people will say, oh, well, there's a regional fit

499
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: because you can you pick and went to Pittsburgh. And

500
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: I get that. The small hands thing, I'm not gonna

501
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: go down on it, but for quarterbacks you want big

502
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: hands in inclement weather to grip the ball. Kenny Pickett

503
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: just went to the a f C North where he's

504
00:27:53,400 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: going to be playing conservatively five maybe six cold weather games. Right,

505
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna have one in Cleveland, he's got one in Pittsburgh,

506
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna have one in Cincinnati, and he's gonna have

507
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: one in Baltimore. Okay, then he's gonna have other home

508
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: games in Pittsburgh in late December and maybe a playoff

509
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: game in January. These are not ideal conditions for Kenny

510
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: Pickett with the small hands. I'm not saying it's gonna

511
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: be a total flop, because who knows. You know, maybe

512
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: it works right out of the gate. Maybe he wins

513
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: the starting job and his lights out. Who knows, But

514
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: based on what we know now, I'm not optimistic about

515
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett taking the reins in Pittsburgh. Fox Sports Radio

520
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: the draft with the New England Patriots because they're always fun.

521
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: So the New England Patriots totally go off the board.

522
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: They snagged someone named Cole Strange, a guard from Chattanooga,

523
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: and it's funny. The first thing I said was, I

524
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever mentioned this guy. I don't think

525
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: anyone ever mentioned him to me. And I started to

526
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: scan my phone for the name Cold Strange. Nothing. I

527
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: start checking my old tweets and nothing. He went to Chattanooga,

528
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: he played guard. What are the Patriots doing? So? Then

529
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: afterward Bill Belichick takes to the podium, you know, and

530
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: his answering questions Bill Podium actually says he played some

531
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: MESSYC teams worked out. Well, he's an athlete, he's got

532
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: good tools. We like him. I'm like, really, so I

533
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: looked on UM just for fun, Daniel Jeremiah's list. He

534
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: does the top hundred fifty prospects. Never mind, the Patriots

535
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: took coal Strange at twenty nine Digitel Jeremiah had him

536
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: at seventy four. Milk Hiper had him as the fifth

537
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: best guard coming out fifth best guard, folks. This is

538
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: this is Belichick. And by the way, his draft record

539
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: has not been amazing in the last fifteen years. All right,

540
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: that's enough on the NFL Draft. Obviously, I'll be very

541
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: fired up about Tonight's draft and Saturdays, although Saturdays will

542
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: be tough to watch. Um, I'm just I'll quickly buzzed

543
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: to the NBA. I don't know how much interest there

544
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: is because everybody loves the draft, and you look at

545
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: the NBA scores and you're like, well, Philadelphia escaped, that's good.

546
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: They escaped by about thirty points. I'm sorry they escaped

547
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: by thirty five in Toronto. They just you know, they

548
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: were up by one at halftime and then third quarter.

549
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: I guess you know, Doc Rivers said some stuff in

550
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: the locker room and they went off. Um they rolled Toronto,

551
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: which again did not have Van Fleet. And you know,

552
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks this is a great He's win.

553
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: It's one of those where you've got to win, you

554
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: just absolutely can't lose at all, and they got it done.

555
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: So now Philadelphia will play in Miami. Joel Embiide looked

556
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: a little better, although he did make a three. He

557
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: scored thirty three points nine or ten from the line.

558
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: He'll go against bamat to Bio in the Miami Heat.

559
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: I will be definitely taking the Miami Heat to win

560
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: that series. If Kyle Lowry is back, I think they

561
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: can do it in five with Lowry notcent and Butler

562
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: not I won't be betting the series because I I don't.

563
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys don't come back, they're screwed. Harden

564
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: and Maxie will be interesting because you know Miami Les

565
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: tried out Tyler Hero in some of these backup roles. Well,

566
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Maxie and Harden are gonna eat Heroes. They're

567
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: just gonna dominate him head to head. That'll be tough

568
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: for Hero, But I like Miami in that series. Phoenix

569
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: pulls away late from New Orleans to avoid a Game seven.

570
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Chris Paul was four for fourteen, shooting perfect game for

571
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Chris Paul thirty three points, eight assists. I bet it's

572
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: under eleven and a half assists. It hit. That was

573
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: a machine pick, by the way, Chris Paul, just tremendous

574
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: effort down the stretch, totally dominant. A good season, good

575
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: fight from the Pells. And now it really gets fun, folks,

576
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Now it really gets fun. I was. I'm not gonna

577
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: even gonna bury it. I'll save it for next week

578
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: when we we you know, we dive into the Pells

579
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more because there there's some more meat

580
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: on that bone, for sure. Devin Booker did return, by

581
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: the way, ineffective UM five for twelve and thirty two

582
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: minutes uh thirteen points, and finally the nightcap was excellent,

583
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: ending an excellent fourth quarter. Dallas Utah ninety six. If

584
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: you talk, should have won the game when you look

585
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: at the amount of three pointers they missed down the stretch.

586
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: They shot nine and thirty five from deep. Bogdanovich had

587
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: an open three on a great play call to win

588
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: the game and he missed it. Mike Conley had a

589
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: brewer will turn over late conn We got it. Just

590
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: an all around rough game. Luca Donte survives Luca nine

591
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: and eight. The Luca Brunson Show is good. That tandem

592
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: right there, and it's gonna be real fascinating to see

593
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: what happens to DeAndre Ayton when he goes head to

594
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: head with the small ball maps, because you know they're

595
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: just gonna say, oh, well, we'll play maxic libor on him,

596
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: we'll trade dudes for threes, will run and we'll space,

597
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: and we'll play him off the floor. That's this is

598
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: a great chess match. And the other thing is how

599
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: does Phoenix stop Luca. Do they just put bridges on

600
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: them and say, you know what, bridges, You're gonna have

601
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Do they start someone else on

602
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: him and bring over Bridges as the help. Um, it's

603
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. I'll give Dallas a chance. Luca seems healthy.

604
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: Booker seems like he's gonna be fine with three more

605
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: days off. I'm gonna m hmmm. I want to go

606
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: with Dallas so bad, I'm gonna take him. I'm gonna

607
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: take Dallas. Dallas too beat Phoenix in the next round.

608
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: A bit of an upset. By the way, Milwaukee will

609
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: not have Chris Middleton for the next series. They're optimistic

610
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: he could return for the finals. They're not getting in

611
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: the final. I think Boston takes down Milwaukee. These NBA

612
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: playoffs have been great. I'll have bets on social media

613
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: for tonight's games, as we have been doing throughout the postseason.

614
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's a long one. Enjoy the rest

615
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: of the draft. Rounds two and three will be back

616
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: Monday with a big post draft show. I'm sure there'll

617
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: be NBA playoff chatter. Have a safe weekend. We'll talk

618
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: to you then.
