Speaker 1: NFL Inside Report is the production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. Hey, what's quite everybody? This
Speaker 1: is Rhett Lewis here with another NFL Draft Twitter space here.
Speaker 1: And this is kind of cool because we're also doing
Speaker 1: this as essentially a simulcast for one of our podcast
Speaker 1: that I host a couple of times each week called
Speaker 1: NFL Inside Report, where we get to chat with our
Speaker 1: NFL network insiders and Rappaport, Tom Pella Sero, Mike Garifolo,
Speaker 1: all of our NFL media reporters are kind of the
Speaker 1: stories that they don't get to tell on TV, right,
Speaker 1: the stuff that kind of leads to the story and
Speaker 1: the end result that you see when they get on
Speaker 1: TV or when they tweet it out or put it
Speaker 1: out on Instagram. So all of that information, we kind
Speaker 1: of get the behind the scenes look at it. That's
Speaker 1: basically what we're doing for you guys here today and
Speaker 1: kind of associating that with the Draft. So Ian Rappaport
Speaker 1: and Tom Pella Sero are going to join us just
Speaker 1: as soon as they figure out what time zone they're in.
Speaker 1: It is specific time fellas in Las Vegas. Basically, mock
Speaker 1: draft season is coming to an end today. Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 1: is going to have his final mock draft, the definitive
Speaker 1: mock draft projection that's gonna be coming up for you
Speaker 1: guys at nine pm Eastern time here in NFL Network tonight.
Speaker 1: And there's just so much intrigue. I cannot remember a
Speaker 1: draft that had this much curiosity at the top, at
Speaker 1: this much potential for kind of game changing picks and
Speaker 1: picks at the very top, even at number one. Like
Speaker 1: at this point, we still don't know who number one is.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, we're gonna talk to Ian and Tom
Speaker 1: about all the draft wild cards, the potential trades that now.
Speaker 1: Oh hey Ian, yeah, let's go. What's up man, what's
Speaker 1: going on? Just walking on the Belaggio my my live
Speaker 1: shot location at the Cosmos. Luxurious, tremendous spots. So knowing
Speaker 1: well how I mean in terms of live shot locations, um,
Speaker 1: sitting out there on the balcony at the Cosmo looking
Speaker 1: down at the draft set in the Blaggio Fountain lake there,
Speaker 1: it's got to be up there. In terms of white locations, right,
Speaker 1: it's up there. I would say my number one was
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia when it was me and basically like a
Speaker 1: nightclub actually just like a nightclub. So it was like
Speaker 1: craziness around me and I'm home, you on my computer,
Speaker 1: I'm cranking away and people are doing shots and that's
Speaker 1: more away. Yeah, yeah, that's well. Then it was great
Speaker 1: because then the draft finished and I could just have
Speaker 1: a drink um and then but and then the other
Speaker 1: one that was just amazing was Nashville. Okay, I was
Speaker 1: on the stage. It was kind of no frills, but
Speaker 1: people behind me, like it was absolutely madness. That was
Speaker 1: That was just one of the most fun experiences I've
Speaker 1: had in ten years of the draft, no, no doubt,
Speaker 1: Like watching the little remote camera we had kind of
Speaker 1: fly down Broadway that night of the draft, like seeing
Speaker 1: like I mean, it felt like Bourbon Street during Marti
Speaker 1: Gras for me being from New Orleans, Like there's just
Speaker 1: so many people out there, um right, and I imagine,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we could write we could have a similar
Speaker 1: scene like on the Strip on Thursday and Friday night.
Speaker 1: Um Man. I have heard, you know, I try not
Speaker 1: to pass along information, it's not reliable. I have heard
Speaker 1: five seven hundred thousand people could be in town during
Speaker 1: the draft just for the draft, just because like it
Speaker 1: could really get wild. You know, that's the admos forhere.
Speaker 1: Every Vegas was great anyway, but that's the atmos hravery
Speaker 1: that he wants, you know. Yeah, I mean, and you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we've been doing Path to the Draft every day
Speaker 1: with with Daniel Jeremiah, with Bucky Brooks, and you know,
Speaker 1: DJ's talking all these these you know, draft evaluators, college
Speaker 1: scouting directors GM and all this, and like I remember
Speaker 1: him like literally telling me about one player who we've
Speaker 1: had marked in the first round, like literally the entire
Speaker 1: time during mock draft season, and one GM actually had
Speaker 1: a sixth round grade on that player. Like that's that's wild,
Speaker 1: you know, to have thatch of the disparities. I just
Speaker 1: I mean, I just went through it right now with
Speaker 1: the GM. Right before I got on, we went through
Speaker 1: and went through an offensive I meant, I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna go in the first round that he had a
Speaker 1: fourth round grade on and talked about the quarterbacks, and
Speaker 1: you know, one of the quarterbacks that I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna go he had the highest grade. And this is
Speaker 1: a team not taking a quarterback. But I think that's
Speaker 1: what it's funn That's why, like some things are going
Speaker 1: to happen. I was enjoying whenever Policy Sara decided to
Speaker 1: join us, I was enjoying his article on first round
Speaker 1: surprises because this year there's gonna be some really really
Speaker 1: fun things. Yeah, definitely, you know. And by the way,
Speaker 1: that's out there NFL dot com slash Pellicero right now.
Speaker 1: A couple of guys like you know, Logan Hall being
Speaker 1: one of them there and um, you know the defensive
Speaker 1: tackle from Houston, which kind of represents a little bit
Speaker 1: of one of the surprises we had a year ago,
Speaker 1: you know, which was Peyton Turner and going to the Saints.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to that whenever he does. In fact,
Speaker 1: decided to find some WiFi and join us here. But
Speaker 1: well you don't even need WiFi, just a regular and
Speaker 1: cell sign really. Yeah, so it's a pretty good deal actually,
Speaker 1: So it turns out there's pretty good coverage of the
Speaker 1: strip in Vegas. Um. So you know the other part
Speaker 1: of this, because you mentioned it when you were talking
Speaker 1: about that conversation you have just had with the GM
Speaker 1: is the quarterbacks. Like we've gone everywhere on the quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: you know, from who the top quarterback is seems to
Speaker 1: differ depending on who you talk about where that quarterback
Speaker 1: will go? How high or or like on the flip side,
Speaker 1: like how long will it take until we get one
Speaker 1: off the board? Like do you have any sense right
Speaker 1: now of where the first one goes? And how many
Speaker 1: we end up getting in the first round? You? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I do. I personally feel
Speaker 1: like we'll get one in the top ten, maybe two. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think we'll probably get one of
Speaker 1: the back end of the first round as well. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking three in the first round. Um. But then,
Speaker 1: like you know, and so what do I know? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking to everyone, but no one really
Speaker 1: says and the teams who are going to take a
Speaker 1: quarterback or like the most squarely cource, so you know,
Speaker 1: they want to keep that kind of keep it under wraps. Um.
Speaker 1: But there's other people who have really good information who
Speaker 1: think quarterback doesn't go until with the Steelers, which I right,
Speaker 1: which I think is crazy, but you know, that could
Speaker 1: be what we end up what we end up seeing. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in an elevator up to my location.
Speaker 1: If I lose, I'm gonna keep talking. But if I leave,
Speaker 1: you just you know, sure sure thing. Thanks I And um,
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's that's the natural, you know, just the
Speaker 1: organic conversation here on the NFL Twitter Draft space. So
Speaker 1: now that's all good. Um. Yeah, So the quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: obviously some of the big wild cards. Um and you know,
Speaker 1: obviously Ian's gonna be talking about that all day on
Speaker 1: NFL Network. And as part of the draft broadcast, was
Speaker 1: that elevator music? It is actually elevating music in the
Speaker 1: elevating Yeah, oh what a deal. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know what else you're supposed to play, right, Like, there's
Speaker 1: never a time. Yeah, that would that would be it
Speaker 1: for sure. It's very it's a little too on the nose,
Speaker 1: but you know, there's what it is. So here's here's
Speaker 1: one of the one of the questions, because we've long
Speaker 1: kind of thought and by the way, are you saying,
Speaker 1: like from from your understanding with the Jaguars thinking Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson too, the three year, fifty four million dollar deal
Speaker 1: that that you put out there um on Twitter this morning,
Speaker 1: are you saying that that's tackle off the board for
Speaker 1: them at number one. I wouldn't say it takes it
Speaker 1: off the board, but it definitely is something to consider,
Speaker 1: like you know, I could understand why they take you know,
Speaker 1: why they would take a tackle right and then you
Speaker 1: can move on from the right tackle. They have Dan Taylor.
Speaker 1: You know, you can have Cam Robinson playing the right side.
Speaker 1: But you know, the thought of taking someone in the
Speaker 1: first overall pick having to play on the right side
Speaker 1: and definitely seems like not reality to me. I'm thinking edge,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking defense. Yeah, And and look, I think that's
Speaker 1: that's part of the conversation here. We were talking on
Speaker 1: path to the draft of this week about yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson's back on the franchise tag. No, they're talking
Speaker 1: about a long term deal. They took Walker Little in
Speaker 1: the second round last year, they took John Taylor in
Speaker 1: the second round a couple of years ago, and you know,
Speaker 1: if you take a tackle, you know they we were
Speaker 1: kind of likening it to Doug Peterson's situation in Philly
Speaker 1: when he won the Super Bowl and made it let's go.
Speaker 1: You did nice, um, Jason, how about that. I was
Speaker 1: just casually filling until you got off the elevator. Uh,
Speaker 1: Jason Peters on the left side and Lane Johnson on
Speaker 1: the right side to the best tackles in football and
Speaker 1: a big part of that Super Bowl run for Philly,
Speaker 1: And you know, there was talk that it's it's Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson making the push ian four a tackle regardless of
Speaker 1: what happens with Cam Robinson because you knew he was
Speaker 1: gonna be there this year anyway, back on the franchise
Speaker 1: tag for the second year. So I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: wondering if that, you know, if that still keeps tackle
Speaker 1: on the board even though they have the long term
Speaker 1: deal with Cam then and maybe it's Dikia Kwanu and
Speaker 1: you know, he can play some guard or right tackle
Speaker 1: until you figure out, you know, what you want to
Speaker 1: do there permanently, right, you know, I understand all that.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying when we're talking
Speaker 1: a you know, number one hit, someone who is a
Speaker 1: difference maker, someone who you know, you you hope that
Speaker 1: it is a premium position. You hope that it is
Speaker 1: someone who will play a spot where you're like, I
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about this for years to come.
Speaker 1: And to me, the uncertainty of like did you just
Speaker 1: take a tackle or do we just take a guard
Speaker 1: at number one makes me makes me kind of lean defense.
Speaker 1: And but but even then, like, do we really know
Speaker 1: which Eddrusher is going to be at number one? If
Speaker 1: that's the position they go, Is it Aidan Hutchinson with
Speaker 1: the production or is that the projection in Trayvon Walker
Speaker 1: from Georgia. Like they're still intrigued even in that scenario, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know it is. It has been fascinating to
Speaker 1: watch what has happened, not that anything has happened to
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson, because like, if he doesn't go one, I
Speaker 1: guess as he goes to UM. But everyone has been
Speaker 1: pretty clear on that Walker has more upside and is
Speaker 1: more explosive, except when you actually look at the numbers,
Speaker 1: which is not the case at all, UM, But that's
Speaker 1: sort of what everyone has decided. I actually have some
Speaker 1: breaking news. This is important. Tom Pellisera has joined the chat.
Speaker 1: MM hello, hey man, how are you? You know? We're
Speaker 1: staying at a very nice hotel. I've enjoyed. The accommodations
Speaker 1: are shot list grade. If there's one complaint, it is
Speaker 1: there is zero shell serviness and terrible WiFi, so we're
Speaker 1: working around it. I made disappear in ten seconds. Ask
Speaker 1: all your questions very fast, because I may be gone anytime. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: got it? Uh inter at board top Filla, Sero, Red
Speaker 1: Lewis here on a little NFL Draft Twitter spaces, but
Speaker 1: also kind of giving you a glimpse of what episodes
Speaker 1: on NFL Inside Report the podcast are. Like these guys
Speaker 1: Ian and Tom are always gracious with their time and
Speaker 1: enjoin us and give us all the score yea amount
Speaker 1: of time that we give to you. It's like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like this is technically your podcast. I mean
Speaker 1: like this is this is yours. This is the NFL
Speaker 1: essentially Inside or with the apostrophe s Report. So it's
Speaker 1: one way to describe it. Yeah, it is. It definitely is.
Speaker 1: But look, we're glad to chat with both of you
Speaker 1: guys here Tom. Where is your biggest like kind of
Speaker 1: draft curiosity right now, like your biggest wild card where
Speaker 1: you're kind of curious as to what things are going
Speaker 1: to happen and how you know, the picks shake out
Speaker 1: after let's say a certain team makes their selection. Everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's everything from the top of the draft
Speaker 1: all the way through. It's you know, a draft class
Speaker 1: where you have what teams regard as fewer ready made
Speaker 1: blue chip type prospects. I know there are, you know,
Speaker 1: Steve Time the Cardinals, GM has said that he's got
Speaker 1: over twenty first round grades. I would consider that to
Speaker 1: be an outlier. I've talked to teams, many of them
Speaker 1: who have under twenties. Certainly there are at least a
Speaker 1: few that have under fifteen first round grades, which means
Speaker 1: you've got a great deal of variance, especially when coupled
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks and if you're going to have some
Speaker 1: rise picks in the back half around one. I think
Speaker 1: that where the quarterbacks is the biggest question in this
Speaker 1: draft because as much as everybody can say, it's not
Speaker 1: a year that you know if you want to do
Speaker 1: this one. You don't know what is happening over there
Speaker 1: with you guys. Uh, it's not a year where you
Speaker 1: want to I'm making coffee about gracious, you don't want
Speaker 1: to have you don't want to have to need a
Speaker 1: quarterback this year. There's it's a lot of projection, there's
Speaker 1: holes in everybody, but quarterbacks tend to go and there
Speaker 1: are teams with needs. So when that begins, whether it's
Speaker 1: in the top twenty, whether it's in potentially even the
Speaker 1: top ten, that's going to dictate a lot of other things.
Speaker 1: Once the first quarterback goes. As we've seen time and again,
Speaker 1: there's always that possibility that a couple more are going
Speaker 1: to go quickly after, because everybody gets antsy about when
Speaker 1: they're gonna be gone. Yeah, I also want to chime
Speaker 1: and just let you guys know, and I'm usually pretty transparent.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be getting makeup, um while I talk to
Speaker 1: you guys. So you know, if you hear the the
Speaker 1: light sounds of a makeup rush stroking my face, that's uh,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. This is great. So like this is
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes stuff that everybody wants, right. Ian's
Speaker 1: getting makeup, He's making coffee, Tom's trying to find Wi Fi,
Speaker 1: and we're just trying to figure out what the heck
Speaker 1: is going on with the draft here in just over
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. Let me ask you this while Ian
Speaker 1: gets his makeup here, Tom, Um, we've been kind of
Speaker 1: slotting in Edge Rusher one way or another to the
Speaker 1: Lions at two. The Texans at three have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to be one of the power players in the early
Speaker 1: part of the first round. With picks at three and thirteen,
Speaker 1: they're a bit of a mystery because they could literally
Speaker 1: go anywhere in terms of you know which position they
Speaker 1: want to go to. But it feels like the cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: and not just Sauce Gardener, but Derek Stingley as well,
Speaker 1: have kind of entered to borrow phrase from Ian entered
Speaker 1: the chat there at two and three, Um, do you
Speaker 1: guys feel it time? Do you feel like the corners
Speaker 1: could go that high? There's certainly a possibility, in part
Speaker 1: because those two guys, Derek Stingley and Sash Gardner are
Speaker 1: really considered that top of the class. Then you've got
Speaker 1: you know, Tim McDuffie, who some teams a few more
Speaker 1: as a nickel than as an outside corner. You've got
Speaker 1: guys like Kyer Eelam from Florida who may go sooner
Speaker 1: than a lot of people are expecting. But anytime you've
Speaker 1: got position scarcity, especially at a core position in the
Speaker 1: modern NFL, I mean, look at the money the wide
Speaker 1: receivers are getting. You can't put a price on the
Speaker 1: corners to stop them. And so I would absolutely anticipate
Speaker 1: that those two, potentially both could be gone in the
Speaker 1: top ten. And then you're going to have some teams
Speaker 1: you know, beyond the top ten who were hoping initially
Speaker 1: you're a couple of weeks ago those corners would slide.
Speaker 1: Who Now we're gonna have to figure out you make
Speaker 1: a move up? Do you trade map Uh, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of possibilities. Absolutely would not surprise that Houston took
Speaker 1: a quarter at three UM. But that's just one scenario,
Speaker 1: especially because nickos Sario has the AMMO if he wants
Speaker 1: to trade back up from thirteen and potentially get two
Speaker 1: picks on the top ten. What's interesting about these scenarios was,
Speaker 1: like you talk about position scarcity, that really does drive
Speaker 1: a lot of the right. Like there's two corners who
Speaker 1: I think everyone considers to be the top guys. Now
Speaker 1: Stanley has a few more questions because he's you know,
Speaker 1: work on the field is not as in depth I
Speaker 1: would say in his last couple of years. Right, not great,
Speaker 1: as long as you can make your peace with that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is one of the top two corners,
Speaker 1: maybe the utile rner. Not a lot of those guys
Speaker 1: talk about edge rushers like there is a chance to
Speaker 1: those slides and gets to nine ten, But like if
Speaker 1: it's not him, then who? Right? Like so you know,
Speaker 1: let's say Jermaine Johnson gets up to ten, eleven, twelve,
Speaker 1: like somebody may trade up for him, whether he's sort
Speaker 1: of merits it or not, because if you don't get him,
Speaker 1: like who are you actually getting? Like that's a big
Speaker 1: driver of these trades. Yeah, I mean like outside of
Speaker 1: those top four edge rushers, if we get four off
Speaker 1: in the top ten, like we've kind of been thinking
Speaker 1: this whole time, then you know you're starting to look
Speaker 1: at the George carl offices of the world. Boy A
Speaker 1: maffe or Old Katie Uh, you know, like Nick Benedo, Um,
Speaker 1: when you get in you know, to the back into
Speaker 1: the very back end of the first round and then
Speaker 1: top of the second round. There was just some of
Speaker 1: the names that Tom brought up in his kind of
Speaker 1: wild cards late first round pick piece on NFL dot
Speaker 1: com dot com slash call sero for that. Um, Tom, uh,
Speaker 1: you kind of talked about trades, and then I love
Speaker 1: to getting into chime in on this as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: like everyone's talking about, yeah, it'd be great to trade back,
Speaker 1: but somebody's gonna want to trade up. Like at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, like how much movement do you
Speaker 1: feel like we're really going to see in the top ten.
Speaker 1: We're still a little ways out here. A lot of
Speaker 1: these conversations get real on draft Day, and even more
Speaker 1: so as the draft develops. I think that's just because
Speaker 1: of the uncertainty of what's going to play out, even
Speaker 1: within the first few picks. I would tell you this,
Speaker 1: A lot of gms are going through every scenario with
Speaker 1: every team, and that's not entirely unusual, but this year
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more emphasis on it, just because
Speaker 1: there's so many different ways that this could go. So
Speaker 1: a lot of times when you hear about the teams,
Speaker 1: you know, making calls about trading up odds and they're
Speaker 1: also making calls about trading back, just because you have
Speaker 1: to be prepared for different scenarios. I do think that
Speaker 1: there could be movement. I think that it may happen
Speaker 1: a little bit further down than what people are anticipating. Again,
Speaker 1: wherever you draw that line for your first round grades,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be different on every board, You're generally
Speaker 1: going to try to get one of those players you've
Speaker 1: got it through one on which might require you top
Speaker 1: or if they're all gone you can't move up, then
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to move back because you probably have
Speaker 1: more similar grades on some other guys. I think you'll
Speaker 1: get some trades, you know, potentially in the teams, just
Speaker 1: because teams are gonna be looking at the Saints and
Speaker 1: Steelers in their back market. Does somebody try to leap
Speaker 1: frog them and get the guy that they want? All
Speaker 1: those are certainly possibilities. Yeah, And I think you know,
Speaker 1: if you look at the way this draft is so
Speaker 1: strange the way it's happened, but like there's multiple teams
Speaker 1: with multiple first round picks, and they're all kind of
Speaker 1: clumped together right eight, which is I mean, this is
Speaker 1: like just wild but um, and so like they happen
Speaker 1: to being bunches, like you get know, Packers are bolt
Speaker 1: in the late twenties. You have, uh, the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: back to back right in the lake in the thirty
Speaker 1: and so what I would imagine is you have a
Speaker 1: situation where like both of those teams probably won't make
Speaker 1: both of those picks right then. You know, Chiefs are
Speaker 1: trade up possibility, Packers are a trade out possibility. Both
Speaker 1: of them, as we've detailed extensively, have a need of receiver.
Speaker 1: Does either of them trade up for receiver. Do they
Speaker 1: get after the safe guy like there's whoa, whoa whoa
Speaker 1: and get really fun for one. The Packers don't take
Speaker 1: receivers in the first round. It's been twenty years and
Speaker 1: you so you think they might trade up to get
Speaker 1: a position that they don't take in the first round.
Speaker 1: When Brian Goodkins want something, he is incredibly aggressive for it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I could see. I mean, yes, like Ted
Speaker 1: Thompson would not have done that, but these are not
Speaker 1: Ted Thompson's right. That's intriguing. While we're sitting there in
Speaker 1: the back half here of the first round, those those
Speaker 1: back tend to twelve picks. Uh make up gone well?
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, glad to hear it. Glad to
Speaker 1: hear if I'm action on. I'll give you a couple
Speaker 1: of other decision points here that I've kind of been
Speaker 1: identifying throughout this draft process. We talked about the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers at number six and quarterback seems like a spot
Speaker 1: right there where that could certainly be you know, where
Speaker 1: the Panthers go. But if they don't, it would make
Speaker 1: sense there too. They need a left tackle. They don't
Speaker 1: have a pick in the second or third round, so
Speaker 1: they'll pick at six and then again until the fourth round.
Speaker 1: So certainly would make some sense there if they do
Speaker 1: make a move back. Um, but you know that's they
Speaker 1: got to have a willing trade partner to come up
Speaker 1: and who's somebody coming up for there? So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of different variables. The Falcons at eight are really
Speaker 1: intriguing to me. I think Terry Fontineau, the GM there
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, said that they want to get a quarterback
Speaker 1: here at some point. Um in this staff, they've been
Speaker 1: at all the quarterback pro days. They're sitting there at
Speaker 1: number eight. They need a receiver to I think that's
Speaker 1: certainly on the docket. What if one of those top
Speaker 1: four edge rushers is sitting there at a they need
Speaker 1: an opportation, you know, they need a player to get
Speaker 1: after the past or there as well. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways that the Falcons could go. And
Speaker 1: then you get the Seahawks at nine, Like, are they
Speaker 1: a dark course for a quarterback in this draft? If
Speaker 1: Malik Willis is sitting there at nine, is that something
Speaker 1: that might interest Pete Carroll and John Schneider. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways that this can end up
Speaker 1: going um back, Yeah, hey, there we are. Sorry. This
Speaker 1: is quite the roller CoA. This is a problem though,
Speaker 1: is like I've gotten three calls and like twenty techs
Speaker 1: in the middle of this, and something I want to
Speaker 1: answer and some I don't. But this is basically what
Speaker 1: these last two weeks have been life, which is a
Speaker 1: series of calling someone, missing their call, calling them back,
Speaker 1: and missing that call right phone times. Um, you want
Speaker 1: to tell us all of the you want to tell
Speaker 1: us all of the calls that you don't want to
Speaker 1: answer your call. Okay, not that you call me, but
Speaker 1: if if that was the case, I was definitely Um.
Speaker 1: So you talked about the Seahawks at night, Um so,
Speaker 1: my guests would be no quarterback at nine, but the
Speaker 1: Seahawks would be an interesting team to potentially trade up
Speaker 1: back into the first round and take the quarter's smart business,
Speaker 1: you have to fit your option. The value is a
Speaker 1: little better. I could see them, the Cults, maybe the
Speaker 1: Falcons that they don't take one in eight, Like, I
Speaker 1: could definitely see those teams saying, you know what, the
Speaker 1: values better, I'm just gonna trade up. Um, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna trade up. In the end of the first round
Speaker 1: get my guy. Um, how does the potential for a
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel trade kind of shake things up on Thursday night?
Speaker 1: Is that something you're really following as as something that
Speaker 1: could happen? Yeah, And I mean, you know, I guess
Speaker 1: theoretically could. I don't as of like this very second,
Speaker 1: I don't sense a ton imminent are going on. M
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're gonna keep following if I is.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't sense it like there's anything urgent
Speaker 1: happening literally right now, you know. But obviously and and
Speaker 1: you know, these are complicated trades. So generally when you
Speaker 1: have a situation of a player changing teams before the draft,
Speaker 1: of you to get that guy into physical right so right,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if we'll see if this does happened,
Speaker 1: but it's and he'll need a new contract, so like
Speaker 1: it is complicated. Um, you know, obviously we'll keep following.
Speaker 1: I just don't get the sense right now that anyone's
Speaker 1: finger is you know, right on the bot or anything
Speaker 1: like that. Sure, all right, last one here for you
Speaker 1: because the Jets are also you know, one of those
Speaker 1: teams that are really kind of intriguing to follow. At
Speaker 1: four and at ten. Two picks there in the top ten,
Speaker 1: and obviously they've got some capital on day two as well. Um,
Speaker 1: how much does they're feeling about McKay Beckton affect what
Speaker 1: they do in the top ten their first round pick
Speaker 1: two years ago at left tackle in So, you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've seen some stuff about, you know, the Jets
Speaker 1: moving on from Bacton and all that. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: uh I you know, sometimes people hear things and I
Speaker 1: just haven't gotten there yet, or they had better sources
Speaker 1: than me and I that is all possible. I know,
Speaker 1: I know it seems I'm like, Um, he is a
Speaker 1: premium player at a premium position who was injured last year?
Speaker 1: Are they thrilled with him? No, they would have preferred
Speaker 1: he was not injured. I would I would be a
Speaker 1: little surprised one if they could move on from him,
Speaker 1: if they would move on to like, how could they
Speaker 1: get the value? It's the same thing I would say
Speaker 1: with you know, the Giants moved on from Kadarius Tonia.
Speaker 1: Do anything happened? I guess things can always happen, but like,
Speaker 1: what value would you get to make you okay with
Speaker 1: moving on from um? You know, moving on from a
Speaker 1: first round pick, Like, how could that make sense to you?
Speaker 1: I think, doesn't you know? If the Jets take a
Speaker 1: Quanu at four, which you know certainly possible, it's because
Speaker 1: he's the top player on the board and the values
Speaker 1: showed good, they just have to take it. And then
Speaker 1: what do they do? I don't know, play right tackling? Yeah,
Speaker 1: figure it out. Yeah, it's your best five? Yeah, who cares?
Speaker 1: Like could do worse than setting up your own quarterback
Speaker 1: with a rock star offensive line right now, which is
Speaker 1: something we could certainly see the Giants try to do
Speaker 1: there at five. Yeah. So that's um, that's just a
Speaker 1: glimpse of the intrigue and a little bit of the
Speaker 1: mystery here because each pick, I mean just feels like
Speaker 1: there's so many different ways that each of these teams
Speaker 1: can go. I feel like in recent years we get
Speaker 1: those picks, were like, all right, this team I got,
Speaker 1: we got them pegged, it's gonna be this player. It
Speaker 1: just it makes the most sense that the needs the
Speaker 1: best player available. It just doesn't feel like this year
Speaker 1: that there are those types of selections, Like I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping I get at least one right in
Speaker 1: my last mock draft like that's I hope you get.
Speaker 1: Of course you do. Thank you. Have you ever gotten zero? No? No,
Speaker 1: certainly not, certainly not. This might be the this definitely
