They are like 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: the Colts to me at a college level. So I 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: am rooting hard for San Diego State tonight. In fact, 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: I just saw the head coach earlier today after the 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: shoot around in the hallway service level. I said, good luck, coach. 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: He said, oh, thank you very much. I said, I 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: hate you Kon like poison. Please win. I left that 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: part out. Actually, but how about this. You know we 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: see him on the thirty for thirty with the Fab five. 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: He's so familiar, and here he is coaching in a 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: national championship game. Okay, I got a story for you. 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: So one of my best friends, the guy I was 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: the best friend of my best band of my wedding, 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: Andy Crook. He was a freshman at Brown with me 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety and he went to Brown for one 24 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: year and then an inter Mirrow basketball game with me 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: and then three other guys were went in the game, 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: and instead of going up and dunking it, he did 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: the smart basketball thing. It started to peel out, and 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: as he peeled out on the through on the past 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I gave to him, he tores ACL and so his 30 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: parents were like, all right, you know, I don't know 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: we can afford both ACL surgery and going to Brown. 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: So at that point he ended up going to Saint 33 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: John's I Minnesota. And so we were talking one day 34 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: and we went to the Final four ninety three together 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: and he goes, hey, by the way, did you know 36 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: that Brian Dutcher I was his first NCUAA violation. And 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: I was like, what are you talking about? He goes yeah, 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: he goes, I was visiting campus. And he wasn't going 39 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: to go to Michigan, he said, but he was visiting campus. 40 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: And they went and visited Dutcher, and Dutcher gave him 41 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: like a sweatshirt, and they found out it ended up 42 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: being a violation at the time. Yeah, sweatshirt. So Brian 43 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: Dutcher had an NC double a regular violation with my 44 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: buddy giving him a sweatshirt. So every time we would 45 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: see the Fat five, you would remind me of that. 46 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: But Brian Dutcher is featured heavily on that documentary too. 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that, you definitely need to see 48 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: that as well. So Syndeo State taken on Yukon tonight. 49 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: Ukon has been playing extremely well. It's gonna be very 50 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: difficult for Syenego State to do it. But I think 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: I'm pulled for the Aztecs like you, Mark, I want 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: to see the Astecs pulled the upset, but hopefully get 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: a good ball game. And by the way, I'm not 54 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: really sure how the ncable a seating would argue this, 55 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: but how was Yukon a four seed? Somebody needs to 56 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: go back and look at the seating because that is 57 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: just not very good at all. Whatsoever does the seating 58 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: even matter? By the way, Johnny, before we get into 59 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: the football, the Texans cuisine of tonight's program, a couple 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: of programming notes here, because we all watch television over 61 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: the weekend, sports television and a few notes. One of 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: them major League Baseball, Congratulations. I love the pitch clock. 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. I had my doubts about how 64 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: it would go. Yes, I wanted to speed up the game, 65 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: but I thought, oh, it's baseball, this is gonna be touchy. 66 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: It is so good. It's so different watching a game 67 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: with this the pace. You can just feel the rhythm 68 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: of it. The tempo is so much better. And you know, 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: I hate watching the Astros lose games, but the game 70 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: is so much more watchable with the quickened pace. That 71 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: and women's basketball, congratulations. People are talking about you in 72 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: a big, big way. I know it's not the way 73 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: maybe you want it to go down, but my gosh, 74 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as bad publicity, as my friend 75 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: John Lopez says, spell the name right. That's all you 76 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: have to worry about. They've gotten a ton of pub 77 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: a ton of viewers. So congrats to women's basketball. Yeah, 78 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: congrats lsu Kaylyn Clark is unbelievable. She must watch television. 79 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that game against South Carolina is just it was. 80 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: It was incredible. It was absolutely incredible. And that I'm 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: I've been a huge women's basketball college basketball fan for 82 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: a long long time. I used to go to every 83 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: single game at Brown, and I knew those girls that 84 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: were playing, the women that were playing, and I knew 85 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: that pretty well, and I used to play against them 86 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: in the off season. We would play pick up and 87 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: they I mean, I used to think I was pretty good, 88 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: and then you'd play them and the balls moving and 89 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: you're like looking for her and like, oh, she just 90 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, she just made a backdoor cut on you 91 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: for a layup, Like dang it, man. They're just it was. 92 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: They were so good and so I've been a big 93 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: fan for a long time, but watching Caitlin Clark was 94 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: a whole different watch man. She was absolutely un unbelievable, 95 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: and major League Baseball had to do something, and I'm glad. 96 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad it did. It might have been drastic, but 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: I think drastic is sticking, at least for the fans 98 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: and the people calling the games. I thought Joe Davis 99 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. He was talking about it from Fox. 100 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: He was talking about I don't think I've ever wanted 101 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: to say more at a baseball game. So this pitch 102 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: clock thing is actually really really good for all of us. 103 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: And he keeps us moving. It keeps us going, and 104 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: I like that for sure. All right, let's get to 105 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: the football part of our program. We are gonna have 106 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: a trunk candid program today because the final four tonight 107 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: SO Sports Radio six ten CBS Sports West one will 108 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: take over at six thirty at the bottom of the hour, 109 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: so we gotta go. We're gonna play how many sizzle fires. Now, 110 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: if you've been with us before, you know, well anybody 111 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: who talks to the radio can drop a hot taker 112 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: three every now and again. And so we have come 113 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: up with a rating system that we call sizzle fires. 114 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: How many sizzle fires. The hot of the take, the 115 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: higher number of sizzle fires. So if I were to 116 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: say the Indianapolis Colts are gonna go owen seventeen, Mark 117 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: would say that is a one sizzle fire that's absolutely 118 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: gonna happen. If I were to say that Bryce Young 119 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: is gonna throw for eight thousand yards and eighty touchdowns, 120 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: that it's probably a five sizzle fire, even though I 121 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a good year. So you guys 122 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: all know the rules. Now. These are all going to 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: be in reference to the draft picks, where the Texans 124 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: are two, twelve and thirty three. So here we go, 125 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: Mark rate this hot take on the Sizzle Fire rating system, 126 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: and number two, the Texans will not take a quarterback 127 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: and we'll take Will Anderson Junior. Oh, all right, Will 128 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: Anderson Junior is the likely pick. You're saying if they 129 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 1: don't take a quarterback, because what about jail and Carter 130 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: who insists he's going in the top ten. I don't 131 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: need to visit anybody who doesn't have a top ten 132 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: pick because I'm going in the top ten. And Drew 133 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Rosenhouse is my agent. Yeah, that's my that's the take. 134 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: Will Anderson Junior will be the picket two and not 135 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Okay, I'm gonna go that's a three and 136 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: a half Sizzle Fire. Okay, all right, all right, And 137 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: I might even I might even squelch it down to 138 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: about three because I don't think it's out of the 139 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: realm of possibility that they do not take a quarterback 140 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: in number two. Here, Johnny, maybe they've done extensive research 141 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: and decide, you know what, we're not gonna take a second. Wait, Mark, 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: there's breaking news. What's that? Oh, we've got ten cars 143 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: going off of fifty nine when they're not going to 144 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: draft the quarterback. I didn't say that, I did. I 145 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: just said it's not out of the realm possibility, meaning, look, 146 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: they could take one at twelve, they could move up 147 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: from twelve to whatever. Maybe what about this? Wouldn't this 148 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: be wild if the day of the draft they move 149 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: up from twelve to eight or seven, whatever it's gonna be, 150 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: and they keep the second pick, and everybody's thinking, all right, 151 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: they're definitely not taking a quarterback in a two. What 152 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: are they gonna do now? Now we've got to go 153 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: make a deal with somebody else to jump up and 154 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: take whoever Bryce or CJ. Strout is going to be 155 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: available after the Carolina Panther's pick. Johnny, I think that 156 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: it's possible. I think it's unlikely. So I'll give it 157 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: a three three and a half sizzle fire take. Okay, rating? 158 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: All right, here we go stick with pick number two. 159 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 1: The Houston Texans will select either CJ. Shot or Bryce Young, 160 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback that the Panthers do not take. What does 161 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: the hot take assessment of just simply taking the one 162 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: the Panthers don't take. Oh, that's a half sizzle fire. 163 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: That's no, sizzle fire, that's cold. I just thought, after 164 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: the way you answered the first one that maybe there 165 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: was something that I don't know. I thought. I thought 166 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: i'd throw it out there. Okay, look at it this way. 167 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: I always put it this way. If you had to 168 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: bet your house that they were going to take a 169 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: position at two, wouldn't you bet that house? You have to? Yeah, 170 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: you bet the house they're taking a quarterback over not 171 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: taking a quarterback. Yeah, so you're leaning into the quarterback 172 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: take here big and sure there's a possibility it doesn't happen, 173 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: but you would say more likely to happen to Blendon 174 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: segments here. Okay, at pick number twelve A, the Texans 175 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: stay at twelve and they pick offensive linemen Paris Johnson 176 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: Junior from Ohio State. How hot is that sizzle fire? 177 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: That's extremely hot? That's about a four maybe four and 178 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: a half. Because where do you have him in the 179 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: Harris one hundred? Is he's a top twenty guy in 180 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: most people's top one hundred ratings, but he's not twelve 181 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: worthy according to most of the pundits. Right, so he's 182 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: in that range. He's in that range. Okay for me? 183 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: Is if he's starting for me. If you're top twenty, 184 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: you're twelve worthy. So you know a lot of people thought, 185 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: well did they go did they take Kenyan Green too high? Look? Whatever, 186 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: if you like a guy in the first round, especially 187 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: once you get into the teens, it is what it is. 188 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: But I would say a tackle, especially would be a 189 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: little bit of a hot take here, because you know, 190 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: you have some tackles on the roster. Okay, you have 191 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: tight as you have Laramie. Are you really going to 192 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: take a tackle with number twelve or is there a 193 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: deal that's going to be made? I would say that's 194 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: a pretty hot take, Johnny. But what if I told 195 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: you that Paris Johnson Junior played guard in twenty twenty 196 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: one and actually might be a better guard than he 197 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: is a tackle. Well you would know that, wouldn't you. 198 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: And maybe they would know that, and maybe they would say, look, 199 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna use him a guard on the other side, 200 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: But we just drafted a guard last year. So I'm 201 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: gonna say it's too hot to take. I'm kind of 202 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: burning up from this one, Okay, all right, four to 203 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: four and a half. I got you. I just wanted 204 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: to see if I could get you to bite, I 205 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: got a few four you on the other side, is 206 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: there a receiver at twelve year interested in or just 207 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: any receiver that next a Texans All Access looking back 208 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: this money at issue of Texans All Access John Harris 209 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: alongside Mark Vandomir, the Voice of the Texans, and we're 210 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: playing how many sizzle fires? Aka? How hot are the 211 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: takes I'm throwing up Mark? Now, disclaimer, these are not 212 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: ones that I believe in, but I'm throwing them at 213 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: Mark to see what he believes in. And we've been 214 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: pretty much on point for the most part. So let's 215 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: get to pick. We've been talking about pick number two 216 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: a little bit at number twelve, stick with twelve and 217 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: thirty three for that matter. M Mark, here's your hot take. 218 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: How many sizzle fires the Texans will take at least 219 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: one edge rusher with number twelve and thirty three and 220 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: or thirty three. They'll take at least one edge rusher 221 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: at twelve and or thirty three. Open up my freezer, 222 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: let's manipulate the ice machine. Really kidding? Yes, edge rusher 223 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: at twelve or thirty three? You're gonna give me that? 224 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: That is not a hot take, not hot at all? Okay, 225 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: your old lineman take was way hotter than this. This 226 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: is the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm chilly, okay, 227 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: because I think there are people that believe the Texans 228 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: are gonna go offense offense offense, which if you go 229 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: offense offense offense, the math tells you not an edge 230 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: Rusher at twelve or thirty three? Yeah, but who are 231 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: these people and why do they believe this? Here's the problem. 232 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: And look, we're still what the draft is three weeks 233 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: from Thursday, Johnny, we are. We have a long way 234 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: to go, and they're they're gonna there's gonna be a 235 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: lot of conversation. A lot of people are talking themselves 236 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: into ridiculous things. I was talking myself into some really 237 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: crazy scenarios just in my own head earlier today, and 238 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: I thought, oh man, we need this draft. It's like 239 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: a pregnancy. I gotta get it out. I gotta get 240 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: this draft out. We gotta get this done. Please fired 241 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: up on Thursday. Do we have to wait any longer? 242 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: So are you giving me any sizzle fire on that 243 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: at all? And Rusher at twelve or thirty three? No 244 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: sizzle fire? Maybe maybe a little somebody pops a lighter, 245 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: but it doesn't even take like the flint is working, 246 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: but there's no gas inside. I'll give you that, Okay, 247 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna all right, all right, apparently you didn't like 248 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: that one. I'll make this one a little more difficult. Okay. 249 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: At pick number twelve, because he has fallen, he used 250 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: to Texans select Jalen Carter from the University of Georgia. 251 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I heard you got cocky. You got cocky 252 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: with that last question, and decided, all right, I'm just 253 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna throw on the gallict. Let's see how you handle 254 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: this one. How many fires? That's a four? That's a 255 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: hot take because and I heard Sean explain this very well, 256 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: because they were discussing this sort of scenario on the 257 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: morning program, and he said, I believe it was Sean 258 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: and not seth Wu said, if Carter falls out of 259 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: the top ten, the Texans are probably an unlikely team 260 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: to stop the free fall. I think that's how he 261 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: worded it somewhat similarly, and I agree with that. If 262 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: he's dropping out of the top ten, well, maybe some 263 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: of these issues and the perception of such or the 264 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: reality of such, the perceived reality of such, it's just 265 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: more than we thought. Right, it's more than we can 266 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: handle here to see him going in the top ten. 267 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: So are the Texans really going to be the kind 268 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: of team to stop the fall of Jail and Carter? 269 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: I don't think so. In fact, here's here's another one 270 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: more likely to happen, mixing segments. Carter to the Texans 271 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: at two or Carter to the Texans at twelve. It's 272 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: probably twelve, but oh you think it two. I mean, 273 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: if they're gonna take him at shot, if they're gonna 274 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: take him at all, they might just take him at two, 275 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: because look, you know, talent always wins out. The only 276 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: reason that Jeffrey Simmons didn't get taken in the draft 277 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: whatever twenty nineteen or whatever draft that was, was because 278 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: he had a twenty ACL and they weren't sure when 279 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: he was gonna be ready. But if all Simmons had 280 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: had was his off the field incident coming out of 281 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: high school, he was completely clean and missing the state, 282 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: he would have gone at a top four or five picks. 283 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm convinced that ACL kind of had people thrown. Carter 284 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything like that. He's just got this massive 285 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: incident that they gotta work with and how teams are 286 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: gonna work with that. If you're not gonna take him 287 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: at two, you're not gonna take him at twelve. So 288 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: I just assume take him at two, because would you listen, 289 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: would you want would you want Ballard taking him at 290 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: four to be enticed to take Jaylen Carter and put 291 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: him next to Buckner and Stuart And it's a quarterback. 292 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: But still, you know, Seattle, that happen Detroit, Las Vegas doesn't. 293 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Las Vegas said they're not going to do it, 294 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: and I understand why. I completely get that, um considering 295 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: you know what they had with Henry Ruggs a few 296 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: years ago. So yeah, it's it's it's dicey Okay. I 297 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: like how you threw that back on me, So here 298 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: we go, Okay. Bruce Felman last week, we we um 299 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: we looked at his mock draft because his mock draft 300 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: was littered with comments from coaches that have coached against 301 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: these particular prospects. It was great, but at pick number 302 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: twelve he traded. He had the Giants going up to twelve, 303 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: the Texans going down to twenty five. We'll say it 304 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: doesn't happen Let's say the Texans do take Bryce Young 305 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: at two uh, and they take Jalen Hyatt. That's my 306 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: mock draft Jalen Hyde from Tennessee at twelve at pick 307 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: number twenty five. The Giants are on the clock. Bijean 308 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: Robinson is still there. Here's your hot take. The Texans 309 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: trade back into the first round with the New York 310 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Giants and draft Bijean Robinson. How many sizzle fires four 311 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: and three quarters. Oh, they're not doing that. They are 312 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: not doing that. There's no way they They just signed 313 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, They've got Davian Peers. They're not moving up 314 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: from thirty three to twenty five to take Bijean Robinson. Now, 315 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: if Robinson falls, a lot of teams are gonna say, 316 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: wait a minute, he's falling. And I think if he falls, Johnny, 317 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: it's no fault of his own. I just think, keep 318 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: one of other needs and they see other things that 319 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: are enticing to them and they figure out we can 320 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: get a running back later or whatever. Not that he's 321 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: not great. He is great, projected to be great at 322 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: the next level. I understand the temptation. I don't think 323 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: the Texans are gonna bite on that temptation because they 324 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: feel like it's not like they're set for life at 325 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: running back, but they're okay for now and they have 326 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: other needs. They have other There are other players on 327 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: the board at thirty three or even to move up 328 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: to take other than be Jean Robinson who fit what 329 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: they're gonna need. And I know they never like to 330 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: talk about need during draft weekend, but need does exist. 331 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: You have needs. And even though they've signed free agents 332 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: or acquired players this offseason that can take care of 333 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: some spots that needed major attention, they still need to 334 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: service these spots long term, and you do that with draft. 335 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: There are people in their cars right now screaming at us, 336 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: go and take it, do it, do it. What's it 337 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna cost? What does it cost to move up thirty 338 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: three to twenty five? By the way, somebody contacted us 339 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: about the draft value chart and then you you relay 340 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: that information. Yeah, draft tech, Draft Tech, that's where I've gone. 341 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: And in fact, to go up eight spots it would 342 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: cost one hundred and looks like one hundred and forty. 343 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: It would cost probably picks seventy three. It's it's a third, 344 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: it's like a mid third rounder. You'd have to give up, 345 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: so you'd probably have to get a little something back 346 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: if you gave up seventy three. Um. You know that's 347 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: when you look at the up. When you look at 348 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: the order of picks here and you're looking at it 349 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: two twelve, thirty three, sixty five, seventy three, you know, 350 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: I start to get greedy. I'm like, wait a minute, 351 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: I get await from thirty three to sixty five. That's 352 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: why I think we're gonna trade down from twelve. I 353 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: think we're gonna go down about twenty. That'll give us 354 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: thirty three. Then we'll get like fifty two, fifty three, 355 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: then sixty five and seventy three. That'll be spaced out. 356 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: That'll be spaced out well enough. That's what I think 357 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: we end up doing. Okay, sixty five and seventy three. 358 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: You brought it up. There's two, there's twelve, there's thirty three. 359 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: Now there's sixty five and seventy three. Either of those picks, 360 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: one of those picks will be a corner cr n 361 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: e R a cornerback. I bring that up because it 362 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: is largely thought that the corners in this draft, this 363 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: is the best class of all the positions and it's 364 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: the best class it's been. Are the Texans taking a 365 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: corner back at either sixty five or seventy three? Tell 366 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: me this, I would. I would just give it a 367 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: two and a half. Okay, right, yeah, because I think 368 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: you always you always need corners, and now you're in 369 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: the third round and attractive players can be. There is 370 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: Travias Hodjas, Tomlinson from TCU there when they pick at 371 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: sixty five, Yes, and I would do that in a heartbeat, Mark, 372 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: I absolutely would. So I like the fact you get 373 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: a two cil fires because I do think you can 374 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: get better at corner in this draft. There's no doubt. 375 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: There's so many good players at corner, no question. And 376 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: there is an nc DOUBA Final four championship game tonight, 377 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: San Diego State taking on Yukon.
