Speaker 1: Welcome back to the drive. I'm Dale Lolli. He is

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: the Matt Williamson and well start of hour two here, Matt, Matt,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: is time for us to do a little mock draft.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's lock it up.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: So we're using the Pro Football Network's mock drafter here,

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: and the first nineteen picks are in.

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Okay, and we are up.

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: At twenty, and we have three trade offers.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Interesting.

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: The first one, the Tennessee Titans are on the phone

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: ways away. They're offering pick thirty eight, pick one oh six,

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: next year's first that could be a top five pick,

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: and a twenty twenty five fifth round draft pick as

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: well for pick twenty.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: I think you have to consider that.

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I know, I know Matt, the GM, Matt wants to

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: do that trade now.

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: I mean that could be next year's Marvin Harrison. Yeah,

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like your neighbors or you know,

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: best tackle in the draft.

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's it. I don't think they're good.

22
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: No, I don't think what I mean. They've been active.

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: They've been active, but that doesn't mean good. Yeah, I'd

24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: consider that. I mean, what else we got cooking?

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Washington is on the phone. Okay, they want picks twenty

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: and one nineteen, and they're offering picks thirty six and forty.

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: That'd be kind of fun.

28
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: Wouldn't mind squeezing a pick out of them from next

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: year too, because this think too.

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but thirty six forty, it's two high second round picks.

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: One of them is the center. Yeah, you know. I

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: mean that's you.

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Get in your center and you probably get your right

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: and you still have fifty one, I.

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: Say, And fifty one then becomes like best available, yeah,

36
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: you know, which is kind of exciting too.

37
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's appealing.

38
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: And then Jacksonville is on the phone. They're offering they

39
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: want pick twenty, offering pick forty eight, pick ninety six,

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: pick one sixteen, their twenty twenty five second round draft pick,

41
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: and their twenty twenty five third round draft pick, just

42
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: for twenty it's.

43
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: Appealing too, but it's a lot of roster spots to fill. Yeah,

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, I think we tell them.

45
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: No, unless, you know, unless we're gonna move up from there,

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: which is hard to do, which is hard to do.

47
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: And not in the real world.

48
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna we're gonna reject that one. We're

49
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: not interested in their future Tennessee's first round pick is.

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Very appealing, very appealing. Can we look who's available? Who'd

51
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: we take a twenty and well.

52
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: So just the top top of the line here at

53
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: JC Latham available. That's interesting, very interesting.

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: Because either one of these deals, we would not get him.

55
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas, we would not get him either.

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jerson, Newton, Jackson, Powers, Johnson, Chop Robinson, Cooper Dejen

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy.

58
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: So how about this, for the sake of radio and

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: fun and all this wonderfulness. I would have said yes

60
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: to the Titans offer or countered with something very similar,

61
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: of course, but let's take the Washington one or try

62
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: to get something out of them, at least counter it.

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: Because we have not done that mold yet. We have

64
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: not done a non for first round heavy day two draft.

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: Would we be. We'd be shut out of the premium

66
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: guys most likely, and we might be.

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: Shut of this, out of not letting it, not allowing

68
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: me to click on anything here. What's going on with this?

69
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: We lose our internet or something.

70
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna have to.

71
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: Have to start to say, radiot, this thing over.

72
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on there with that?

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: Those trades would have been fun, but they're no longer.

74
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: I think when I can't, I hit canceled to look

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: at it, and all of a sudden, the screen.

76
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: Went, Okay, let's rehash this. Maybe they'll make us similar offers.

77
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: Offers though they were interesting offers.

78
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, at Leatham was very exciting. That was also interesting.

79
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Don't expect him to be there.

80
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: I would say, he's one of the and we got

81
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: to do this run to the podium, guys.

82
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: We'll do this at some point here in the in

83
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the time in between the owners meetings and the actual

84
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: draft is we'll take We'll put together our list of

85
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty guys. We would take it twenty.

86
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe i'd even draw a line under these ten.

87
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm not even asking for offering, you know, I just

88
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: run up to the podium. Yeah, Marvin Harrison Junior's area.

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: All right, So we have two trade offers.

90
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Miami is offering just forget everything he's heard.

91
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami's offering pick twenty one and pick one eighty

92
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: four for pick twenty That's always seems like a yes

93
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: to me. One eighty four. There is like a fifth

94
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: round pack.

95
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: I know, I know, but that's one spot.

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: I understand that, but I want more outer counter. Yeah,

97
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: because they might take the guy that I want to take.

98
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: They might.

99
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: I'd like to know who's there too, But well, i'll

100
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: tell you that in a second. Yeah, I know we've

101
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: been down this road.

102
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Houston is on the phone.

103
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a four one.

104
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: They want twenty and one ninety five for forty two

105
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: fifty nine and their twenty twenty five second round but

106
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: draft pick.

107
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: That's intriguing. That's similar to the Washington thing we were

108
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: talking about, with a presumably second round. Right, all right,

109
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: that's a long wait, but that would be fun.

110
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Uh so I'm going to take it. Look so still

111
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: still on the board here, Troy Fatanu, Good Jerseon, Newton, Jackson, Powers, Johnson,

112
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Chop Robinson, Nate Wiggins, Cooper, Dejen Byron Murphy, lad mckinstreet, Tyler, Geiton, Keon, Coleman,

113
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: bo Nix, Graham, Barton. There's dudes there. There's Kingsley, Sue Mattaia.

114
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: So I don't want to talk to Miami anymore though,

115
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: because to move down one spot, I think they're gonna

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: steal Fatana.

117
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that was my immediate thought. They want Fatana.

118
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would assume that if there was him and

119
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: MIM's there, I'd be.

120
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Like, and if we stick here, I'm taking Fatana exactly.

121
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: I think he's the one to take it twenty.

122
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: I think Miami would swipe them and just give us

123
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: a fifth, or maybe we can, you know, work it

124
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: into a fourth or something.

125
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Fifth really doesn't interest me.

126
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: I think we tell Miami to go. Okay, Now, there

127
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: are a lot of good players. We knew that, right,

128
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of the second round builds. And

129
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm still interested in that move. Yeah, I'm interested in Houston.

130
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Well, that Houston forty two is the one that they

131
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: got from Minnesota, I believe makes sense.

132
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is.

133
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering here because they also have what they

134
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: they what they have is forty two fifty nine eighty six,

135
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: one three one twenty seven eight two thirty eight to

136
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: forty seven.

137
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: Okay, well, if we keep the same deal but move

138
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: up from a sixth rounder to a fifth rounder or

139
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: something like that.

140
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: I'm thinking here, if we if we make them an

141
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: offer of one of our like one seventy eight, would

142
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: that get us also get us one twenty three?

143
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: They're giving us a future pick. Maybe we'd give them

144
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: a future sixth or something like that. We got a

145
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: bunch of future Day three, we have.

146
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: A bunch of future picks, but the future we don't.

147
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: We don't have two future seconds, which is what we've this.

148
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we could turn a six next year into

149
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: a second.

150
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: If I offer one seventy eight, will they give us

151
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: one twenty three.

152
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: Let's submit it and see how that works in addition

153
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: to the original.

154
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: In addition to the original deal, they accepted it enough.

155
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: We're loaded with that year PI. Yeah, so we're gonna

156
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: a lot of good dudes. Are gonna be sweating a

157
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: lot of good.

Speaker 1: they have to say here that has been rejected, so we.

197
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: Never trade up.

198
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: I mean when we cold call these teams tough, Yeah,

199
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: you gotta, they don't counter necessarily, they don't count.

200
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: They just either accept or don't. So if you're close, right, uh,

201
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: forty two thirty seven, I'm.

202
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: Got to pick this year or a five and a

203
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: seven next year.

204
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: So we have here's what we have next year. We

205
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: have a one, we have our one, we have two two's,

206
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: we have a three, a four, two fives, and four sevens.

207
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: So what if we threw a seven in the original deal.

208
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I'll try doing that.

209
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: I bet they're gonna say, no, that's not much.

210
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: To sweeten it up. I'm gonna see, I'm gonna offer

211
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: Denver seven, all.

212
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 2: Right, because that's a more appealing Yeah, maybe bad.

213
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Or we could offer Washington's which one is yeah, yeah, fine,

214
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: that's been rejected.

215
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: So we don't even know we're close.

216
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know if we're close. I'm gonna I'm

217
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: gonna try one more time with the Chargers, and then

218
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna get on the phone with Tennessee. All right,

219
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: so the Chargers forty two thirty seven five spots.

220
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, work with me here, work with me, be nice.

221
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: If they countered, I'm gonna offer that one twenty three

222
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: that we got.

223
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Okay, and so maybe try just a different approach to

224
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: something this year.

225
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: So it's forty two, one twenty three for thirty seven.

226
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: That's been excepting.

227
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's take Zach Fraser.

228
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: So now we just missed on Kingsley Sumataya by the way,

229
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: which would have been nice. But we're taking Zach Fraser there.

230
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, moving up to thirst seven. That fits the need.

231
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: I mean we're still in the tackle market. We got

232
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: a lot of picks. Yeah, what picks do we have left?

233
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: I know you just kind of you told us next

234
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: year's why is it not letting me take him? Maybe

235
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 3: there's sights giving.

236
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: Us there's sights being a little hinky here, come on, guys,

237
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: and I.

238
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: Just we're doing such good stuff here on the radio

239
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: and they're screwing us all up.

240
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: I want to take him. Let me take him. Why

241
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: I want to let me take him?

242
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: Does it late take other guys? Well, don't do that.

243
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: But I know I don't want to take another guy.

244
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: That's why we trade it up. What the heck? No,

245
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: this is bad, bad radio.

246
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: This is really bad radio.

247
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: And I really like this.

248
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: I really like segment too.

249
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: So we would take Zach Fraser there.

250
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: Okay, but it won't let us. So you just want

251
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: to take somebody else and we'll call them.

252
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: Let me take anybody.

253
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: Oh I got to hit resumed draft there, Yeah that's me. Yeah,

254
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: your site's fine. Caroline is calling. Then we give us

255
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: thirty nine and next year's third for thirty seven. Yeah,

256
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: we traded up for a reason. Detroit wants to give

257
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: us whole bunch of stuff. No, we're rejecting those. We

258
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: traded up to get draft Zach Fraser. We got Zach Fraser.

259
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: He is a Steeler. Our center position is taken care of.

260
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: So now our next pick is our.

261
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: fIF No, this is the one, one of the ones

262

Speaker 1: that we've got from yeah, from Houston. We have three

263
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: seconds and the Saints are now we're still at fifty one. No,

264
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: that's right, we have this is our trade. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

265
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,440

Speaker 1: the guys available to us to and Andre Sweat.

269
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: I consider how many picks do we have now that

270
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: are premium picks.

271
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: We have still coming up here? Fifty nine, eighty four,

272
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: ninety eight up coming.

273
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: So we got four in the top one hundred, in

274
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: the top one hundred five.

275
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Really we got five in the top five total or

276
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: five more five total?

277
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: Okay, we have a center.

278
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like to get a tackle, but if it

279
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I'd like to get a receiver.

280
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: I definitely want to get a receiver, and I want

281
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: to get a corner. Yes, that leaves us one floater. Yes,

282
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: you know which could be? Which have thrown it out there?

283
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 3: Like we could still fill our needs and get him

284
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: as the bonus prized from the trade.

285
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: Let me finish with who's a visions?

286
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: I know?

287
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: So the two defensive tackles that I mentioned Cooper Beebee,

288
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: Enis Rakestraw, Leonard Taylor, Chris Braswell, Cameron Kenchin's Patrick Paul

289
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Michael Hall, the defensive tackle out of Ohio State, Davian Sanders,

290
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: Brayln Trice, Ben Sennett, Chris Jenkins, Xavier ly get Peyton Wilson,

291
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks, Cedric gray Bray, and Fisk Bo Brady, Roman Wilson.

292
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: So my favorite players are the D tackles, but Ruke

293
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: is my favorite of the remainder. Yeah, Throg Jenkins in sweat.

294
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, and then there was Wilson and Legette or

295
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: two that I liked quite a bit.

296
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

297
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,000

Speaker 1: Yeah, we come back again at fifty nine.

304
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,040

309
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,600

00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: neighborhood to shop in. Yeah, do you have a favorite

335

Speaker 3: of those guys? I mean, we take Wilson a lot.

336
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: I like Pear Saal quite a bit. Would be interesting,

337
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,400

338
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: He is a monster.

339
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: He is a monster. He's not a J. Brown, but

340
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: he's that style of guy.

341
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this offense coordinated pretty well with AJ Brown

342
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:06,560

00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,080

363
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,440

364
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: what's man. Wilson and Pearsall are both still there too.

365
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: Well that was would you consider it?

366
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: We talked about double dipping at the position.

367
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, as it stands today, you need two

368
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: or three and what if you only signed renfro or

369
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: Boyd or Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, let's

370
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: attack this thing.

371
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: The tackles available, whether they get picked over pretty well,

372
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: I figured they would theo offensive tackles. The best guy

373
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: available is the only one of the top one hundreds

374
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: still here.

375
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: I think I wont a receiver, I mean very different

00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: than the gat.

377
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,640

00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: fifteen picks.

381
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: Maybe one of the receivers.

387
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: one of those are still there, I'm gonna fight hard

388
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: for them, probably.

389
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, Santa still it is. Yeah, he looks like

390
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: a Steeler.

391
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,440

394

Speaker 1: Roman Wilson just went one pick ahead of us.

00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey.

402
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 3: Okay, at none of those are steels like Wilson, like

403
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: that double receiver because.

404
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: They were just yeah, he just couldn't.

405
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: He couldn't.

406
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: He is still there, that would work out.

407
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, he doesn't play lick this year.

408
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: The best guy is still available, will Shipley, Braylan Allen,

409
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: Trevan Wallace, Kaylen Bullock, Kieran. I have to learn how

410
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: to say his.

411
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: Name if they take him.

412
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Amagadj That sounds about that, yeah, Dwayne Carter, Dominic Pooney,

413
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving, Spencer Ratler.

414
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: That's interesting. When's our next pick?

415
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: I keep asking, uh, one nineteen so we get a

416
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: little bit about twenty picks here after this one. To

417
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: get through ratper Yale, What do you value more of

418
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: the quarterback or the offensive tackle?

419
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: This is a bigger conversation. But the short answer is,

420
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: do you think Russell Wilson's going to take many preseason snaps?

421
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: I bet not.

422
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he's a new system, new team.

423
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: I mean, could Rattler really get developed? Well, but Field

424
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: is going to need to take it a time, I know. Yeah,

425
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 3: I mean I think he'll get the most no matter what. Yeah,

426
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: but Rattler or someone of that ilk would they be

427
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: a forgotten guy because you have two new ones?

428
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: Or could you really really work with them.

429
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: And play six quarters of preseason football?

430
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: And it might be tough.

431
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be difficult to do. Yeah, Okay, I'm not

432
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: going to fight you on Yale tackle it is.

433
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: Rattler's still there, then we could.

434
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: Talk, or we could try to trade back up here.

435
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: He hasn't gone yet.

436
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: I kind of like that idea. Oh he just just

437
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: as I hit it.

438
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: The Rams took him just as I hit it. All right, Well,

439
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: there'll be some other quarterbacks there.

440
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the two lane dude, or.

441
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: We're cruise Massan Smith just went, but we took it

442
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: def all right. We're back up here at one nineteen.

443
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: We don't pick again until one ninety five, so this

444
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: is make this one count, Make this one count. You

445
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: got Kaylen Bullock, Bucky Irving, Delmar Glaize, Jayden Hicks, McKay Wingo,

446
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: Jaylex Hunt, ed Rush, Rady Houston, Christian Jalen Ford, the

447
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: linebacker out of Texas, Massan McCormick, Malik Mustafa, Ray Davis,

448
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: cam Hart, uh tannerbord Aalini still there, but we took

449
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: our center. Yeah, Jared Wiley still there. The tight end

450
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: to the TCU.

451
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: Ma Stauf is kind of interesting, just because he's different

452
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: than what you have. Ford the linebacker out of Texas

453
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 3: is kind of interesting. I'm starting to think special teams

454
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: a little bit with.

455
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: Those guys as well.

456
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 3: They would be demons, I think on those and on

457
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: special teams, and we don't have to play right away,

458
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: but they would.

459
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm also thinking they're gonna help you.

460
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: How bad they got beat up at safety and linebacker

461
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: last year. I mean, yeah, one more extra guy there

462
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: doesn't break my heart. Speaking of heart, do you think

463
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: about the Notre Dame dude or you got enough tall?

464
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: Well, get enough tall outside corners?

465
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if they hadn't made the Panther trade,

466
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: he'd probably we probably have no brain or have.

467
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 2: Him at this point, there was another name there or

468
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks.

469
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take a look at that to see who's

470
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: at least in that. Uh, you got Jordan Travis, Joe Milton,

471
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: Austin Reid, Carter Bradley out of South Alabama, Sam Hartman,

472
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Devin Leary.

473
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: I'd consider the Florida State guy.

474
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: It's not actually not a bad thing because he's probably

475
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: going a red shirt this year.

476
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not getting ready anyway.

477
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not gonna do anything this year at all.

478
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: But he is kind of like some of the you.

479
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: Know right right, he just sits around and learns and

480
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: you hope he's a sponge and you still might have

481
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: to get another for the season. Yeah, you have to

482
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: call Josh Dobbs. I don't know, Yeah, whatever, somebody's been

483
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: on the lock.

484

Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs when his frequent flyer, Miles by.

485
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: The way, his real estate agent. I would say the

486
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: quarterback or Mustapha.

487
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I think you take the quarterback?

488
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I'm very cool with that.

489
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,200

490
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 3: and divving up the responsibilities.

491
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just.

492
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: There practice every day, he sits in the room and

00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: listens to these guys talk about talk through things and.

494
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: Yes and being the veteran. Yeah, I like that dynamic. Okay, cool,

495
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: and you get him around or too earlier than you

496
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: would have Yeah.

497
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Right, because because and and maybe more than that, maybe

498
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,480

Speaker 1: Mike Santi, stro Kieran Amagadije. I think I got that right.

502
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: That sounded like you did, uh and Jordan Travis. I'm

503
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 3: really fond of this draft. I mean, I wouldn say

504
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: there's a blue chipper, but we've got a lot of

505

508
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: It's coming up here soon.

509
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: This could be a running back, this could be a

510
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: tight end. This could be a linebacker. Safety, Like we talked.

511
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: Somebody, Yes, somebody's going to help us out on special teams,

512
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: you know, any number of receiver. Just looking at some

513
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: of the guys still available at linebacker, nothing that jumps out,

514
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: nothing that jumps out at me. There at linebacker Daniel

515
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: Watson from Mississippi States. That's not a bad bad one, uh.

516
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: Safety Josh Proctor from Ohio State is there, Patrick McMorris

517
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: from California, Trey Taylor from the Air Force SIONI Vaki

518
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: is still there.

519
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would help.

520
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're up now and he's best available. Best available

521
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: is Isaac Grendo, the running back out of Louisville. Yeah, fast,

522
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Josh Proctor, Tyrone Tracy, uh the running back out of Purdue,

523
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Blake Watson out of Memphis, running back edge Zion Tupelo

524
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: Fay two for two. We I should say, hmmm, you're

525
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna take the safety. We need safety or linebacker. I

526
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: just like the safety names better, Yeah, just because I

527
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: know them better. But either's fine. No, we could take

528
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: let's go safety. You want which one you want?

529
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: Utah? You want Vaki? Yeah, okay, Waki? It is in

530
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: nickel linebacker someday. Yeah.

531
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: All right. So we came out of this draft after

532
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: a false start Zach Fraser at thirty seven after we traded.

533
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: Down, and I think he's a Day one starting center. Yeah,

534
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: for the next trade decade you hope. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

535
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: Ruker ro Row, he's a project you go hang out

536
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 2: with Cam Hayward.

537
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: A lot, Yeah, and him play a little bit for you.

538
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure he mixed in and put a lot of

539
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: pressure on the louder Milks of the world.

540
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

541
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: Xavier Lagette in the with our second, our third, third

542
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: run or second.

543
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: Round receivers fit in because I think there'll be somebody else.

544
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: He's different. He's six to twenty one pounds run after

545
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: the catch.

546
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

547
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Then we got Mike Sandastril.

548
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: He's exactly, yeah, very much the opposite. Yeah, he has

549
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: a little bit of DK Metcalf usage. I'm just saying

550
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: about Russell Wilson's history.

551
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Kieran Amasa DJ.

552
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: Nice Project Yeah, and quarterbacks of Project Tackle.

553
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, your quarterback Jordan Travis doesn't have to play a

554
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: lick this year.

555
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: I actually sit and learn.

556
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: And then Sioni Vaki had picked one ninety five who

557
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: helps your special teams And.

558
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hangs out with Killer Brew a lot.

559
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: D Yeah, and you know, maybe he's your next Skiller

560
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: group Killer grew.

561
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: Right right, I mean it may be a better version

562
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: of like Kean nu'neil that you wanted to be, or

563
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: even middle of the field linebacker on there.

564
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: And lest we forget, we get Houston's second round draft

565
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: picks year.

566
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: That's great.

567
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're we did we lose a pick next year

568
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: when we traded up. I think we lost the late one.

569
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: We lost the late one.

570
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, turned a six into a two or anything like that, right,

571
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: which okay, yeah, yeah, I mean having three picks, we're

572
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: loaded with next year picks?

573
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: Would you trade if sitting here right now, Matt, if

574
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: we said, Matt, this is your this is what the

575
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: Steelers come out of the twenty twenty four NFL Draft with,

576
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: would you would you sign up for that?

577
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

578
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: I think I would too.

579
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

580
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: With the second next year floating around, you know, you

581
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: got a lot of firepower if you want to make

582
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: a trade, deadline deal or something like that too with

583
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: next year picks.

584
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: One thing we didn't do is we didn't get the

585
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: second wide receiver, right, but I missed I will yeah,

586
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think another receivers in the books, and

587
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: deep down I do want a blue chip offensive tackle.

588
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: I mean that's the thing that to me, that's the

589
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: thing we missed. Yeah, by doing this and the the

590
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 3: way we did. But your line got better, Yeah, and younger,

591
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, and the defensive fits are really nice.

592
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Really nice. Yeah, And I think Legett with this, I

593
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: think Lagett would fit in well as Oh.

594
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: I do too. Yeah.

595
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: I think Arthur Smith would like him a lot. The

596
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: deep ball passers that the Steelers down have would like

597
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: him a lot. And people kind of bounce off him.

598
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like a running back with Yeah, you know,

599
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: he's he's forty forty pounds heavier than most of the

600
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: defensive backs that are trying to cover him.

601
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think that pick a lot.

602
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, let's get to a break. He is the

603
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lollie. You're listening to the drive

604

Speaker 1: Little something different here in the next segment. Matt look

607
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: off season power rankings. Oh wow, let's do that right

608
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back. I'm Dale Lollie. He is the

609
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio.

610
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: As we promised, h NFL dot Com is updated it's

611
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: off season power rankings after the first week of free

612
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: agency and these are done of course by Eric at Holme.

613
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: He did them all last year. Reference he still has

614
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: at thirty two Carolina.

615
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's pretty safe. Yeah, they did some things,

616
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: but they lost some things too.

617
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

618
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: Thirty one is Washington. Yeah, they're gonna have a big draft. Yeah,

619
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: thirty is New England.

620
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean that's hope. He just does it go

621
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: through the draft order inverse.

622
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: I hope not.

623
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he doesn't. At twenty nine down three spots, Tennessee.

624
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 3: We almost had their first round pick. If it wasn't,

625
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: we could have ye the crash, right. I think they're

626
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: pretty bad. I would be shocked if Rudolph plays a

627
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: fair amount this year.

628
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: At twenty eight, down five spots.

629
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: Denver, I might even have them behind Tennis.

630
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: I might too.

631
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, think Tennessee is better than them. I mean, at

632
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: least say, maybe have a quarterback.

633
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: At twenty seven up a spot the Giants.

634
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: I like what they did on the lines, you know,

635
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 3: I mean, you had Brian Burns and now they have

636
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: a legit O line. They have nothing in the weapon department,

637
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: nothing at all. I'm not going to say that there

638
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: should be much better than that, but I like their offseason.

639
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: At twenty six, up three spots. Is Arizona.

640
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: As currently constructed, I would have them lower, although I

641
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 3: do think they're they they made chicken soup with chicken crap.

642
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they batted a bunch of NFL dudes, Yeah, which

643
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: they didn't have last year.

644
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: They did not have any. But I don't know that

645
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: they're better than the Giants.

646
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Big faller here at twenty five, down ten spots. The Saints.

647
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just kind of feels like they're old and

648
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: the credit cards are coming due and car doesn't.

649
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: Move the needle.

650
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: They're married to them.

651
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like if it was breeze even at

652
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: the end, maybe still got a little magic left.

653
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no matter.

654
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of what the Steelers did, and with

655
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: the Wilson signing is they're not married to them. They're

656
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: not married to fields, not at all. None of these guys.

657
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: They have unbelievable flexibility contractually, more.

658
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: Than maybe any team in the league, whereas the Saints

659
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: went out and got their car and then gave them

660
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: money and then gave him money. So you're stuck with them.

661
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: Oh, they're stuck with them. Yeah. I don't even know

662
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: if they'll draft one or do much there. I think

663
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: they're just stuck with them.

664
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: At twenty four down five spots, Seattle, ooh.

665
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: I think them more is like a borderline playoff team

666
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: than a drafting in the top ten type of team.

667
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

668
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 2: I mean it didn't go well at the end, but okay.

669
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: At twenty three down a spot is Minnesota.

670
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, we're doing as you are on March twenty.

671
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: I have Minnesota below Seattle, right.

672
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: I mean, they have Sam Arnold, nothing else, and you

673
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: think they're gonna.

674
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Add they don't have a quarterback right now.

675
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: But if you're doing, Seattle beats Minnesota if they play

676
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: right now.

677
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty two down two spots, the Raiders.

678
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: I think Seattle beats the Raiders right now too. Yeah,

679
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: Raiders first. Vikings is about the same to me.

680
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: At twenty one down four spots Indianapolis, Oh.

681
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. I think they're better than that.

682
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: They really haven't done anything. They don't do anything, yeah, right,

683
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: which is fine. I mean you add Richardson back to

684
00:29:59,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: the equation.

685
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: So here's here's where they're they're probably a little bit

686
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: or that. I know that they're worse. I know everybody

687
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: loved Joe what Joe Flacco did last year. But if

688
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson goes out and gets hurt again this year

689
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: and they have to play twelve or thirteen games with

690
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco a quarterback, I.

691
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: Would much rather Minshee.

692
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Minshew.

693
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that, but I'd rather Richardson

694
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 3: and all of them. And I just don't healthy if

695
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: they play today.

696
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Don't know if he can stay healthy though, right he

697
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: hasn't done it.

698
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly how Eric does his rankings, but

699
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: if I did him, I would be like if the

700
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: Colts played the Raiders today or the Vikes today, they're

701
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: a big favorite.

702
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if they're a big favorite, because again,

703
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: you got a quarterback who's who's played four career games,

704
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: so he's essentially still a rookie. Oh absolutely, and he

705
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: was raw coming in.

706
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: Have no question about it. The fact they didn't do

707
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 3: anything doesn't bother me. They didn't really lose anything either.

708
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

709
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: At twenty up four spots the Jets.

710
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: I had a long conversation on yesterday's podcast that I

711
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: do about I don't trust the Jets. I don't think

712
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 3: he's necessarily a good coach. I don't think they're a

713
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: great ownership group, to be honest with you. And they're old.

714
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: They have signed every old guy yeah available, and even

715
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: like Morgan Moses, I didn't know this till today. He

716
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: has had peck surgery right off season two. But they

717
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: might be the best team in the East today. I

718
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: mean I don't think they can stand eighteen games today.

719
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: Old guys get hurt.

720
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, old guys get hurt. Tyron Smith has

721
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: been hurt every time every year for the last the

722
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: last five years.

723
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.

724
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: How many games do they have these guys playing together?

725
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: That part worries me. But how they're where they're at today.

726
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: If they're playing a game, I would have them favored

727
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: against every team that there's mentioned.

728
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. You just said Morgan Moses just

729
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: said peck surgery, so he.

730
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: Ain't playing regular season if we're talking, if they're playing

731
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: right now, right right right? I mean I also think

732
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: there's a chance they add to Brock Bauers. I mean,

733
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 3: Mike Williams has joined the team. The defense is good,

734
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 3: but that's not where we're at today. This is with

735
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: the draft. Yeah, I don't the draft doesn't matter for

736
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 3: this exercise.

737
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: And we still don't know if Aaron Rodgers is doing

738
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: anything yet.

739
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: I have an idea. I mean, I think he's being

740
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: ready for opening Day.

741
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't help him right now today.

742
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I phrased that wrong. The guys that

743
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: are hurt, that are gonna be ready for opening Day

744
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: should count as they're playing today. Like if they lined

745
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: up and played Opening Day without any more moves, I

746
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: mean in September, you know what I mean. Like if

747
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: they think Morgan Moo's would be healthy, then he's healthy.

748
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: You know.

749
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: At nineteen up, two spots to Bears.

750
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: Their defense is playing great at the end of the

751
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: last year.

752
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've added some weapons on offense.

753
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: They don't have a quarter I have a quarterback right now.

754
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: I mean we all know they're going to get one.

755
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Well, they do have tight and Badget.

756
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't beat the jet. They don't be Daron

757
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: Rodgers a Fice and Badget. I don't think.

758
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a weird time a year to do

759
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: power ranks. We know they're who their quarterback is going to.

760
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: Be at eighteen down, five spots, Tampa Bay.

761
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm okay, with that, but I'm glad Atlanta's ahead

762
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: of them in that division.

763
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. At seventeen down five spots, or the Rams losing.

764
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald what they get thing for, But

765
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: that's you lose the whole famer. Yeah, that matters. Defense

766
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: could be pretty bad.

767
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't agree with this one at all. At sixteen

768
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: up nine spots, the Chargers.

769
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: Oh, they'd be much lower. They'd behind it.

770
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: They receivers right now. Yeah, Josh Palmers are number one.

771
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not giving the Harbaugh boost enough for that.

772
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: You're going to hand the ball to Gus Edwards.

773
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would be below the Colts, the Jets.

774
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: Almost like vikings Land.

775
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, all those teams.

776
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: And I get that Herbert's there and he's really good,

777
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: you know, But just because you signed Harbaad doesn't mean.

778
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: There's a reason why Superman had the super Friends with

779
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: him exactly. The Hall of Justice wasn't just Superman. In

780
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: an ideal world, Superman beats everybody.

781
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah so, but he still need a Batman unt give

782
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 3: an aquaman a lot of water.

783
00:33:59,280 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: On his planet.

784
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: He's always overrated.

785
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: He's the most underrated.

786
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: I think he's overrated. If you're not fighting anybody in water.

787
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: What good is Aukwhaman?

788
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 2: Do you He's got seventy one percent of the planet.

789
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, but most of your fights take place on land.

790
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: Agreed, But he doesn't have to go on land. He

791
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 2: just chisen the I'm talking about that for years.

792
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: But anyways, Harbaugh, I think is a good hire as

793
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: we sit here in March. I don't know that he's

794
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: gonna translate well to the NFL though, with Greg Roman

795
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: and run the ball every time.

796
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: You're not the big ten. He's just playing Illinois.

797
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, he would be lower as they would

798
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: be for me as well. At fifteen up a spot

799
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: as Jacksonville they would be lower for me, they'd be low.

800
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what they've done to get better.

801
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: I think they're one of the most most poorly run

802
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: organizations in the league.

803
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, at fourteen up thirteen spots are the Falcons.

804
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: I'm there.

805
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: I think their defense took a big step forward last year.

806
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: No one gives Arthur credit for that. I mean he

807
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: was also the head coach and the offense is set

808
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 3: up to be quite good, assuming Cousins is okay. Yeah,

809
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: and again, if he plays today, he wouldn't be out

810
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: there right. At thirteen up one spot are the Steelers.

811
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you have anyone mentioned ahead of them?

812
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: No, I would not.

813
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: I wouldn't either, mom. I think it's pretty solid.

814
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: At twelve down four spots are the Browns. Do you

815
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: have the Steelers conversation? Steelers versus Browns is a legit conversation.

816
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 2: I think I prefer the Steelers.

817
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: I think so too.

818
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

819
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Nick Chubby playing football. And now they did

820
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: sign to Davante Foreman today or Dante Foreman today, that

821
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: which doesn't move the needle.

822
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: All that tells me is Chub's not ready.

823
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually a bad indicator of anything.

824
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: And they got four quarterbacks on their roster. It tells

825
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: me something's up with to Sean Watson. Yeah, he's still

826
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: not throwing football yet.

827
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: What a disaster?

828
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: Uh. At eleven is Miami. I'm not a ding Doom, Okay,

829
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: but they've lost a lot. I would move them down. Actually, yeah,

830
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland and in Pittsburgh are both better than Miami.

831
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: I think the Jets are is currently constructed. I mean

832
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: for one game.

833
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. At ten down four spots is Dallas.

834
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: That's fine, They've done nothing, They've lost a little.

835
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. At nine up and nine spots is Cincinnati.

836
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 2: I'm okay with it. I mean they stove Higgins Burrows back.

837
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: At eight up a spot is Green Bay.

838
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 2: Oh.

839
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 3: If I look at them quite in that light, you know,

840
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: as a strong playoff contender. But I guess that's fair.

841
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the NFC, they probably are.

842
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: Offense is a year older, and I mean that in

843
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: a good way.

844
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: At seven, holding steady as Houston.

845
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 2: Okay, they got better too.

846
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. At six up, four spots is Philadelphia.

847
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 3: Ooh, I mean recent history, if we're talking over several years,

848
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 3: indicates that they're really really good. We're talking about recent

849
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: history over the last ten games we saw him, they

850
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 3: were really bad.

851
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: They were adding sae Quon Barklay those nice Yeah.

852
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: Lost Kelsey. It's a little generous.

853
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: I might have Houston ahead of them.

854
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: What's that same thing?

855
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: At five Buffalo?

856
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 3: Okay, because of the quarterback. Yeah, but I mean like

857
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 3: their roster, the Jet his.

858
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: Super friends aren't as super anymore, and he's he's playing

859
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: with the second string supers.

860
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, yeah, he's he's got to carry the show

861
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: and he's capable.

862
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's got the he's got the Wonder Twins

863
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: instead of Yeah, that monkey they have.

864
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 2: Chim chim or whatever. I think that was the guy's

865
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: speed racer. Yeah, there's a lot of monkeys in.

866
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: At four, holding Steady Detroit.

867
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think they're definitely better than what we've

868
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 2: talked about.

869
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: At three, Holding Steady is Baltimore, and I don't know,

870
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: I got to dang them a little bittform right.

871
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 2: The second is a disaster.

872
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: They got like two offensive linemen right now.

873
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. They're pretty thin. I mean they're thin

874
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: at receiver, they're thin at edge rusher. Uh. Who's the

875
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: running oh Henry Okay, Yeah, who's their backup quarterback?

876
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: I guess Josh Johnson. What if they draft one, they

877
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 3: might Yeah, it's a little fishy there. But they're a

878
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 3: good football team and they're gonna be a contender. I

879
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 3: have no doubt about that.

880
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: But they're not as good as they were last year.

881
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't think they're as currently constructed. They are not

882
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: a third team win team.

883
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: Free agency wasn't kind to that. No, free agency hurt

884
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: them more than helped them.

885
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: At two is San Francisco and.

886
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: Then Chiefs and one is Chiefs. They be your top two.

887
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess sure. Yeah, I mean they're running it

888
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: back more or less. Okay, No, that's fair.

889
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: So that is Eric at Holmes uh Power rankings after

890
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: one week of free agency.

891
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: Still a lot to change. I mean, even before the draft,

892
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: there's a lot of.

893
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: There'll be more moves that come to trades and things

894
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: of that nature that happened. Somebody is surprisingly will get cut.

895
00:38:59,280 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: There'll be stuff like.

896
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 3: There probably won't be any earth shattering signings. I mean,

897
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: there'll be some nice pieces you fill in here and

898
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 3: there and that type of thing. But there could be

899
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 3: some big trades.

900
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: There could also be I mean the Aaron Donald retirement

901
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: was kind of came out of left field.

902
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 3: There's always one or two of those a year. Like

903
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 3: I always go back to Luck looked at it like

904
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 3: a training camp.

905
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah. And somebody just says, you know what, I'm done.

906
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 3: I'm about going to hang it out, yeah, or this

907
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: injury isn't healing as I thought, I'm gonna hang it.

908
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 2: I'm done. I'm done.

909
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, let's get to another break. Here. He is

00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be back

912
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: to finish up the show right after this.

913

Speaker 2: Welcome back.

Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lollie. He is the Matt Williamson and Matt

915
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: in the last hour that we played back. In an

916
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: interview that I did last week with with Dante Jackson,

917
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: I had an opportunity to talk yesterday to Cameron Johnston.

918
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: It's the Steelers new punter.

919
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: Interesting and he's an Aussie. I know that part that

920
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: part of me.

921
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: He played Australian rules football and lives in Columbus, Ohio.

922
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: That's where he makes his home at ok because he

923
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: went to Ohio State and that no, that's where he

924
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: went to college. He met his wife there. His wife.

925
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: He explains all this in the interview. We'll cover this,

926
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: so let's let's go ahead and let everybody here. Oh,

927
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: we don't have that never mind, we can't. We can't

928
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: play that back Friday though. Yeah, we'll promise that one

929
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: on Friday. But we see some moves here coming in

930
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: the division. The Browns has mentioned signed to Dante Foreman.

931
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: Uh this after they gave Jerry Judy three years.

932
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: Things weird, the quarterback thing's weird, and that screams Chub's

933
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: not close already.

934
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: Three years fifty eight million dollars for Jerry Flip and Judy. Yeah,

935
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: are you out of your minds?

936
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: People think he's a he's a name, he's a Bama guy,

937
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 3: he's a first round pick. His highlight film is strong,

938
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, his consistency is horrendous, and he

939
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 3: is all over the place. He doesn't really block anyone.

940
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 3: He's a hard guy to count on down to down.

941
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 3: That indicates to me that they think Key's there too,

942
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 3: you know, like I might rather have Elijah more.

943
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: He's never caught. He's never had a thousand yard season. Yeah,

944
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: he's never caught more than sixty seven passes in a season.

945
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: And he's never had more than six touchdowns.

946
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: Best league has touchdown numbers.

947
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: Well, his best season was twenty twenty two, sixty seven

948
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: catches for nine hundred and seventy two yards and six touchdowns.

949
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: And that's now worth almost twenty million a year.

950
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see that.

951
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: People thought. People thought Deontay Johnson was overpaid in Pittsburgh

952
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: much rather Deontae much rather than Deontay Johnson.

953
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: This dude.

954
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: People think they're similar because they're both quick, you know,

955
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: similar body types. Deontay is a much better player than him.

956
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: It's not even close. Simon Close, Yeah close. I think

957
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: Judy's a three who just got paid like a strong two.

958
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 3: It's crazy, yeah, coming off from their contracts.

959
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: It's coming off a season where he had fifty four

960
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: catches for seven hundred and fifty eight yards and two touchdowns.

961
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: Mind you, this was with Russell Wilson for most of

962
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: the season, and Russell Wilson had twenty six touchdown passes

963
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: last year.

964
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: Passes were plentiful in Denver last year.

965
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: Not damn they all went to Courtland Sutton.

966
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: I'd rather too. Denver's already told you they'd rather I'd.

967
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: Rather have I'd rather call Denver up and say, hey,

968
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: what what would it take the price to Courtland Sutton.

969
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 2: For off of you?

970
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have not brought that name up, but I

971
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 3: think that's one that would make a lot of sense.

972
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what that price would be,

973
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: but I think Denver's really in rebuild mode.

974
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they could use the picks.

975
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

976
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: The Bengals also did a little something. They signed Trent Brown.

977
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 3: I think Trent Brown's a good player, but I mean

978
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 3: he's an enormous, enormous and they're the two biggest tackles

979
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 3: in the league.

980
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Brown six eight, three hundred and seventy pounds and Orlando

981
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Brown is six eight, three hundred and forty five pounds.

982
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: In the over on three forty, I might.

983
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: Take the over on the three seventy two.

984
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they might be just under eight hundred

985
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: between them. Yeah, I mean seven to seventy five. Ish

986
00:42:58,680 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 3: might be there over under.

987
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: And he's now thirty. I mean, I see what they're.

988
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: He'll turn thirty one before next season.

989
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

990
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what his durability has been like, but

991
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 3: he has been very hot and cold through his career.

992
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: I don't hate the signing for them.

993
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it.

994
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 3: I mean that's pretty obvious what they're looking for at

995
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 3: that position. They want to be massive, they want to protect,

996
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 3: and on his good days he is good.

997
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's.

998
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 3: Kind of like a twofer because now you're not going

999
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: to take one at eighteen, you can address something else

1000
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: in the draft. I mean, I get the logic behind it.

1001
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: He was the best available fits their style. It's just

1002
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 3: when you're that big and you have two of them,

1003
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 3: are they the same in Week seventeen as they are

1004
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 3: the preseason.

1005
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: Can they stay healthy?

1006
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: It's just a strange situation there to have the massive

1007
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 3: amount of human being at those two tackles.

1008
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, wudn't you like to have gotten me younger there?

1009
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean I would think I would think.

1010
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they still could take an offensive

1011
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: tackle in the first round. I think it's a.

1012
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: Kick in the guard.

1013
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: This is a one year deal. It's a one year deal, so,

1014
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you're basically renting Trent Brown and I still

1015
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: haven't seen any money.

1016
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what the dollars are. I bet it's

1017
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 2: ten plus for one, maybe ten ish.

1018
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, somewhere in that range, like you probably, I mean,

1019
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you've probably come up with

1020
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: a better way to spend that money.

1021
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I bet they wanted to spend it

1022
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 3: on a d tackle or give it to Higgins.

1023
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: Well that's yeah, that's their problem now, is right. You know,

1024
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: they they don't have a defensive tackle. They they got

1025
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: shut out in that market thus far.

1026
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 3: I think we mentioned it on the air. I can

1027
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: remember if we were a break when we were talking

1028
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 3: about it or not. But like all of a sudden,

1029
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 3: I don't think they have an answer for TJ. Watt right,

1030
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 3: and I think there's a better chance at a tackle

1031
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 3: that you love gets to twenty now with them probably

1032
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 3: out of the tackle market at eighteen.

1033
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: So here's his over the last since he came back

1034
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. He played nine games in twenty twenty one,

1035
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: seventeen games, sixteen of them starts in two twenty two,

1036
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: wasn't he didn't start all the games there and last

1037
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: season he played eleven games and started eight for the Patriots.

1038
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: Weird.

1039
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean I thought he was one of their only

1040
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: two good offensive linemen. I didn't realize he was a

1041
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 3: non starter for a couple of games. Yeah, so curious

1042
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 3: at that position. I mean, if you're questionable when you play,

1043
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 3: you start, you start.

1044
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when they're paying you that kind of money.

1045
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: Right, So I mean that was a weird team last year.

1046
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 3: But still that doesn't explain away that interesting. Yeah, so

1047
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 3: this is the reason to be big big moves for

1048
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 3: a week plus into free agency.

1049
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. In the division, Browns are doing some weird stuff.

1050
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: They are doing some weird, weird stuff. Yeah, spending. I

1051
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: don't I get trading for Jerry Judy for what you

1052
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: gave up for him six and seven. Okay, that makes sense.

1053
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he'll play, and I don't think he's.

1054
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: Horrible, but why do you extend him.

1055
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why you'd extend him, right, I mean

1056
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 3: you inherited a bad inherited his fifty year option, which

1057
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't think he's worth, and clearly Denver regrets giving.

1058
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: And they renegotiate that, yeah, and tacked on. What they

1059
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: did was they tacked on some voidable years on that.

1060
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: So then did they feel the need because he was

1061
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: signed to those voidable years to give him a new contract,

1062
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: in which case, now you've just kicked more bad money

1063
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: down the road by doing that, Yeah.

1064
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: Which they do. And I mean this is an ownership decision.

1065
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: But they're always the last couple of years at the

1066
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 3: top of the league in cash spending, and you know

1067
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 3: they're given Watson a huge power cash obviously in Garrett

1068
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 3: and well the other guys aren't cheap, but I don't know,

1069
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 3: he's not who Wired invested in.

1070
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1071
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: So they had after the after the renegotiation that they did,

1072
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: they had two point three seven million in dead money

1073
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: for him for the next four years. Okay, each each

1074
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: one of those seasons, which, okay, I get it. You

1075
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: know it's going to cost you something for that one

1076
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: year rental, but now you've you've doubled down on that,

1077
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: so you're a three year, fifty eight million dollar contract.

1078
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: He basically you've basically locked in him for twenty million

1079
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: dollars a year over the next three seasons after this one.

1080
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: Is that how it works? So you saved a lot

1081
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: this year and then you're paying him.

1082
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: I assume that's how it worked here.

1083
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean he's not worth close to twenty million. No,

1084
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean doubt he will be a year from now, right,

1085
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 3: I mean I get trying to cheap in those.

1086
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: So now you've got you've got him and Amari Cooper

1087
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: both making twenty plus million a year. You get forty

1088
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: five million dollars tied up in your top two receivers,

1089
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: maybe more than it. Cooper might be thirty this year,

1090
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: and I.

1091
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 3: Would say the receiving room is the seventeenth best in

1092
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 3: the league. Yeah, it's okay, but it's not a strength.

1093
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: No. I like Cooper a lot. I get.

1094
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,520
