00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: Welcome to the forty Niners You've Got Mail podcast sponsored

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: by Manscape. It is one of the most highly anticipated

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: times of the year, the high most highly discussed, highly analyzed.

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: That's because it's Draft week and we're getting into the

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: nitty gritty of what is going on with the forty Niners,

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: in particular that ever discussed number three overall pick. But

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: with that, I'm super happy to welcome veteran NFL reporter

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Scott Barr, who has covered Bay Area teams like the

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: formerly known Oakland Raiders and the forty Niners for the

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: past eight years. Scott, thank you so much for joining

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: us here with the forty Niners. How's it going, man?

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: I can't be more excited to talk NFL Draft, and

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: more importantly, to talk about the most interesting team in

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: this NFL draft, the most interesting selection in this NFL draft,

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: coming up at number three overall. It seems like number

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: one and number two, which normally hold that title, already

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of pretty clear. What's gonna happen there, But what

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: they do, what John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan do at

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: that number three pick, It's been fascinating for months. There's

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: been so much talk, so much hype, so much speculation.

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait until they're on the clock, hand that

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: card over and we see who they take. I feel

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: like the Twitter versus gonna have so much to say,

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: and it's just we've been waiting. Literally, it feels like

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: this draft not drop but this this trade happened not

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: even about a month ago. But I feel like this

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: has been the longest thirty days of our lives, just

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: waiting for draft day to come and seeing what this

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: team is actually going to do with that number three

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: overall pick. But yeah, you're right, it's one of the

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: most fascinating teams in this draft because it seems, as

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: it stands right now, it seems like we know what's

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: going to happen at pick number one, we know what's

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: going to happen at pick number two, But it's just

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: this this wild card. You know, you hear people saying

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: some names, you hear other names. But I really believe

37
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: that what the forty Niners decide to do with this

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: number three overall pick will completely change the rest of

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: this draft. Looking at teams trying to jump up or

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: what people trying to move to get guys like, so

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: much can happen this will be the first domino I

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: believe to fall that will kind of change the trajectory

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: of the draft. Yeah, and you bring up a great

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: point that normally these these types of trades happened during

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: the draft and then you have ten minutes to absorb

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: everything that's happened. We've had weeks and weeks and weeks

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: to absorb and speculate. And it's so interesting obviously within

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: the great forty Niners fan base, right and in the

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Bay Area. It's also of national interest, so you have

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: national insiders weighing in. Every mock draft seems to have

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: somebody different. Now, it's not every position on the board necessarily.

52
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and John Lynchen made a very clear they're

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna take a quarterback, right, but there's so many intriguing options,

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: And to your point, once they make their selection in writing,

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: then teams who are interested in the remaining quarterbacks are

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna be jumping and dipping and diving and trying to

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: scrounge for what is a very good quarterback grouping. We

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: heard at yesterday's pre draft pre draft press conference that

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan says that he likes five guys well he's

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: not the only one who thinks five guys are of

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: upper caliber, and as he also said, there's not thirty

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: two guys on this planet who can be an upper

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: level NFL quarterbacks. So you want to go get one,

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be entertaining, explosive and that

65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: first domino. Everything is gonna happen when the forty Niners

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: are on the clock. Okay, I've been waiting for Thursday

67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: to hurry up and rushed by, but he just got

68
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: me excited again just talking about it. So I'm ready

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: for Thursday. But again, Scott, thank you so m much

70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: for joining us, and we're gonna have exclusive content from

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: you all draft week long on forty niners dot com

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: with some insights to what's gonna be happening, So make

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: sure you guys check that out. But before jumping in,

74
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: I know we we've already kind of got the engine started,

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: but I want to take just a brief step back

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: and just give us a little bit of an overview.

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about yourself, your history covering

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: Bay Area sports teams, give us a little a little introduction. Yeah,

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: so I covered the Chargers back when they were in

80
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: San Diego. And apparently I am a bad luck charm

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: when it comes to NFL teams remaining in the same city,

82
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: because the Charges moved to l A and then I

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: came up here and covered the Raiders, and then they

84
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: moved to Las Vegas. So not a great thing with

85
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: that beautiful Levi Stadium, are going absolutely nowhere, faithful to

86
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the Bay as they like to say, Wow, that rhyme

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: wasn't intentional, but still happened. I'm gonna take credit for it,

88
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, um, I also took the forty Niners through

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the through that awesome Super Bowl run um down in

90
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: South Beach, covered the team for for a bit in

91
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: and gosh, you know, I I've kind of known because

92
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm a San Diego guy. John Lynch is a San

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Diego guy. I feel like I've I've been hearing about

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: John Lynch, whether it's as a high school football player

95
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: or what have you forever, so pretty familiar with him

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: as well. And like I said, not only is it

97
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: just the number three pick, right, but this is not

98
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: a team that fits in the number three draft slot.

99
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get into this more as we talk

100
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: about the podcast, but that as we get on with

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the pod. But that's what makes it so interesting to me, right,

102
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: this is not a team with a billion holes to Phil.

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: This is one where if they make the right draft selections,

104
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: add the right depth, add the right quarterback, then you're

105
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: looking at, oh man, is this a super Bowl contender

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: right away? So that's what I think is so fascinating.

107
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: That's why I really can't wait in this pod and

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: through all the writing that we're gonna be doing over

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: the next seven days to see exactly how this thing

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: goes down. Again, so interesting, so fascinating, stoked to be

111
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: a part of it. Yeah, and you also have to

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: make one of the biggest connections. I'm a send Ago

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: person to San Diego State alumni, so we've got tons

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: of connections over here, all the way from so Cal,

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: all the way up the coast, all the way up

116
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: the coast. Here we are in Santa Clara preparing for

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the draft. But um, looking at you know, you said

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: you covered the Sporting Niners team during that Super Bowl

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: run and you saw what happened in Obviously this roster

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: decimated by injuries, but I just want to get your

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: perspective and outside, look what's been your initial take on

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: this forty Niners team as of late with John Lynch,

123
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, what they're building, what they're trying to build,

124
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: their trajectory, all of that. How do you view that?

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: What do you take away from that? I think they

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: had a sneaky, legit awesome off season, right. Normally you

127
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: take winners of the off season when they signed huge

128
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: money free agents that don't come from their system as

129
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: generally a sign that you're grasping at straws desperation. Those

130
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: teams don't often go on to absolute success. But when

131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: you look at what the ns did, right, could you

132
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: have ever expected how many guys they would be able

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: to resign? They gave Trent Williams huge money, But you

134
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: think of all of the important cogs to that Super

135
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: Bowl run, got so many of them back from you know,

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: from from Williams to Juice to you know, DeFord back

137
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: in the full DJ Jones. What's not to like about

138
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: that guy? Right? So there's all these kind of under

139
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: the radar signings that keep your depth and your team

140
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: chemistry solid. Right. So what you need is you need

141
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: guys to stay healthier than they were last year during

142
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: what was an absolute series of freak occurrences. Uh covered

143
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: that game in Week two where where the Fortyders lost

144
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Bosa and you see the type of I mean, he

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: should have gotten an m v P vote just to

146
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: see how much that that they missed him, right. Uh.

147
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: So that's why I think it's intriguing. And I think

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: that if they can build on this good offseason and

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: get maybe a signal caller for now or in the future,

150
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: and you can show up some depth throughout this draft,

151
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: I think that you could walk in come in with

152
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: a full off season despite the fact the NFC West

153
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: is loaded, right, But I think I think you better

154
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: put some respect on the Forts name for what they've

155
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: been able to do, even if it hasn't been super

156
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: duper flashy to this point. You know, you hear that

157
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot. And maybe this is because I'm one of

158
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: those people. I see what people say on Twitter, but

159
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: but you know, you see a name become available and everyone's, oh,

160
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: why did the forty Niners go after this person? Why

161
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: didn't they go after that person? And you're right, they

162
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily make these splashy moves, but they shirted shore

163
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: up a lot of that depth, a lot of those

164
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: key players, and they talk about keeping that core together,

165
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: keeping a good players in house, and rewarding those guys

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: in house, and that's certainly what they did. But you

167
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: just sparked an idea as you were talking about this,

168
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: and now I'm interested. You see what's happened around the

169
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: NFC West. Um. I mean we can talk about what

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals did, obviously, what's going on with the Rams

171
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: and getting their quarterback, But but what do you kind

172
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: of make of what's been happening in the NFC was

173
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: do one of these signings stand out more than another

174
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: for you? Do you do you see maybe this hierarchy

175
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: of teams shifting over this this next season. What do

176
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: you kind of take away from everything that's happened over

177
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of months. I think all of these

178
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: teams are going to be bruised and battered when they

179
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: go through this division, all these home and homes that

180
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: I can't imagine any one of these teams having a perfect,

181
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,479
Speaker 1: unbeaten record within the NFC West. There's too much talent there,

182
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: there's too much of that internal rivalry, and I think

183
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: there's too much parody. Now that doesn't mean these teams

184
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: are average. I think these teams are above average. You

185
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: look at the Cardinals, you don't know what what their

186
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: highest ceiling is. You like what they're doing. Call me

187
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: a pessimist. I'm fine with it, but the Matt Stafford

188
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: thing doesn't move the needle at all for me. I'm

189
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: sure there will be a bunch of people on Twitter

190
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: who will hear this podcast and call me an idiot

191
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: for saying it. But you gotta win something to prove

192
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: something to me, and that hasn't happened with him yet.

193
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of interesting things going on there.

194
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: Seattle is Seattle. I think the Seahawks forty Niners rivalry

195
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: is going to be as real as ever again. I

196
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: sort of alluded to it last time. Right, the biggest

197
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: offseason pickup in this division full of crazy offseason pickups

198
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: between what happened last year and what will happen in

199
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: it's Nick Bosa on Instagram. Right. If I'm showing that

200
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: that a c L is healthy and he's when he's

201
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: back to being himself, which is an absolute dominant force,

202
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: a game s aging force, whether he's getting sacks or

203
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: pressures or just solid you don't see it unless you're

204
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: watching film run defense. That's as big of an upgrade

205
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: as there can be. Uh. And I know him on

206
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: the forty Niners podcast, but I just don't think that

207
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: that can be underscored him coming back and being healthy.

208
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: If somehow DeFord can come back and be healthy and

209
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead's steadiness, Uh, that's an answer to I mean

210
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: that Stafford's gonna be running a lot if that's the case, right, So, UM,

211
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an interesting division, and I

212
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: think the Forts are going to be right in the

213
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: mix of it. Um, no matter what happens with their

214
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. There's a lot of moving parts that we're

215
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: going to talk about. But the best part about it

216
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: is it's fascinating that we just want to dissect every

217
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: little single part of this thing. Is there's so many

218
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: interesting things going on. Yeah, I love I love the

219
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: breakdown of one of the biggest moves. I don't know

220
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: what we want to call it, but it is what

221
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: we've seen of Nick Bosa and his rehab, and we've

222
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: seen him on on Instagram showing his workouts and being

223
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, my math is terrible. What seven months removed?

224
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: Eight months removed from that season ending injury. So I

225
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: think I speak on behalf of all of the faiple.

226
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: We are excited to see Nick Bosa back. I know

227
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: George Kittle said that the person he's most excited see

228
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: you're saying in a press conference is seeing bos to

229
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: take the field. So I think it's a it's a

230
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: pretty valid sentiment across the fan base. But all right,

231
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: let's transition to Nick Bose's one first rounder, and let's

232
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: let's go a little bit into this next first rounder.

233
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: That's what all the talk is about. It's about this

234
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: number three overall pick. And there's been so much speculation

235
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: on surrounding what the forty Niners are gonna do, and

236
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: odds have been shifting week to week, people outside the

237
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: organization chiming in on what they suspect in house, but

238
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: everything aside. Do you think that Kyle and John are

239
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: kind of enjoying this media circus that's going on surrounding

240
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. I think to a certain point, you

241
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: want as much Hayz and Carl the fog around what

242
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna do as possible, right, You want that nice

243
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: summer Bay area, can't see the car in front of you,

244
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: sort of a situation making it murky about what you're

245
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna do with their pick um. I think probably at

246
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: this point, now that we're so close to it and

247
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: it's been a month of speculation. Kyle mentioned it in

248
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: his pre draft press conference. He can't go to a

249
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: restaurant or his kids soccer game without an umpire or

250
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: a server or somebody giving their opinion on what should

251
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: happen at number three. Overall, sure, that can get a

252
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: little tiresome after a while. Now, we've been enjoying it,

253
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: right because there's plenty to talk about, and there's plenty

254
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: of speculation out there, But there's nothing wrong with keeping

255
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: people guessing. Now normally what happens is that they just

256
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: kind of say nothing. I love that Kyle is confident

257
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: enough for him to say, as he did yesterday, Why

258
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: would like, what good does it do me for me

259
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: to tell you who I'm gonna take right now? What

260
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: good does it do me to eliminate anything as a possibility?

261
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: How can you argue with that logic, even if the

262
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: reporter in us desperately wants him to tell us exactly

263
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: what he's going to do right Um. So that's why

264
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I like his candor I like his confidence. Um, And

265
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: that's why I think when it comes down to is

266
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: when you look at number three, the forty Niners have

267
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: done something that most teams would die for, is have

268
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: an element of control. In the NFL draft, you're always

269
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: subject to what's going to happen in front of you, well,

270
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: unless something absolutely bonkers happens. They're very confident what's going

271
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: to happen in front of them. They can see the

272
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: see the remaining talent pool, the and the remaining field

273
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: they've eliminated. Guesswork, Their fingers don't need to be crossed

274
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: right now. They can go in. Kyle can evaluate as

275
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: he has been doing and make the pick that he

276
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: wants to that he wants to make. Uh. And that

277
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: trade allowed him to do that. Yeah, And I love

278
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: how you said that. It's that element of control. We

279
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: talked to them once they made that jump up, and

280
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: they talked about not wanting to be left at the altar,

281
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: sitting there at twelve. And if they know that they

282
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: have a guy in mine or like they said in

283
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: that press conference, five guys in mind, and they can

284
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: have their choice at a number of them. That trade

285
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: had to be made and so now they do sit

286
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: in that position where they do have that control. But

287
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: you we're talking about, uh, that press conference that John

288
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: Lynch and Kyle Shanahan had, and you know, everyone wants

289
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: to know. You know, reporters are blatantly are bluntly asking,

290
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, okay, we'll tell us about X person. What

291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: do you like about X prospect? And you know, trying

292
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: to get as much information out of Kyle and John

293
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: as they can. But like you put it, you know,

294
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: why do they have to tell us? I mean, and

295
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: it makes sense why they're keeping their cards as close

296
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: to chess as possible. But looking at everything that we

297
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: learned during that press conference, what do you think was

298
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway? Yeah? I think it was the fact

299
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: that even even in this situation, right, that they're not

300
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: going to say exactly who they're gonna take, but they've

301
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: made it very plain and clear they're going to take

302
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. Right, And when it comes to these

303
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: pre draft press conferences, it's not just forty Niners, it's

304
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: every pre draft press conference in thirty two different markets. Right,

305
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: is trying to wade through the ambiguity that they like

306
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: to create. Uh, Coach GM, are you willing to make

307
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: a trade. Yeah, we could trade up or down? Uh?

308
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Which player? Are you looking at? The best player on

309
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: our board? Are you drafted for me? You know what,

310
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: We're just gonna evaluate the okay, Like you get what

311
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, right, Like all these platitudes, Um, you know

312
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: that the fort is because of the element are like

313
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: of control as they can say, we are looking for

314
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. Right, That's as plain as it gets. Um,

315
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitt's keep your phone on silent during the number

316
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: three overall selection, right? Um? But nonetheless, so I think

317
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: that they learned that they're they just that they're very

318
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: candid and they're very confident in the options that they're

319
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: going to have there. And that's the most important thing.

320
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the discussion, right is what

321
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: it costs to get to three, um, you know, and

322
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: whether the value discussion? Right? Um, can anybody tell me

323
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: what exactly what the Chiefs traded for Pat Mahomes No,

324
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: because nobody cares because they got Patrick freaking Mahomes right.

325
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: That that's all that matters. And ultimately it's about what

326
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: you get from this selection and how that player, uh

327
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, turns out. And I think that Kyle and

328
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: John were very candid about that point. And you know

329
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: that's why I think that they're gonna walk into Thursday

330
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: confident in that selection. Uh you know that they make Yeah. Um,

331
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: just just to be honest, I have no idea what

332
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs traded away to give Patrick Mahomes, because they

333
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: do have Patrick Mahomes and that's enough set. I can

334
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: guarantee that there's not a single person in that band

335
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: base who was sweating what was given up to jump

336
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: up in the draft to grab him. So with that

337
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: being said, uh, let's let's turn the focus to you know,

338
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: number three overall is that's that big topic. Fans want

339
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: to know what are the forty Niners wanted going to

340
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: do there? But I think you know, if that's one A,

341
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: one B is Jimmy Garoppolo still you know, it's still

342
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: on the roster. He's still with the forty Niners. There's

343
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: lots of questions going on. They were asked yesterday in

344
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: this press conference. But I go back to, Um, you know,

345
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I think about what John and Kyle were saying earlier.

346
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: I believe that was back in March, and and their

347
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: feelings towards Jimmy Garoppolo and saying that they expect him

348
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: to be on the roster in one and you know,

349
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: they were asked again and Kyle Shanahan, you know what

350
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 1: a little dark on us, saying he's gonna be alive

351
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Uh, well, we're hoping we are. You know,

352
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: I really would like to make it to summer. I

353
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: happen at some point. But with all that aside, though,

354
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: looking at what we've learned and how we're all analyzing

355
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: what was said on Monday and going back to maybe

356
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: what they said when this trade was made, have your

357
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: feelings changed it all towards what you think about how

358
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: they feel about Jimmy and his future in San Francisco. Yeah,

359
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it changed my opinion about how

360
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: I feel about a quarterback who took them to the

361
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: freaking Super Bowl, right, Um, and they were very close

362
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: to winning that Super Bowl. Um. So the guy's got

363
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: the street cred and the credentials to show that he

364
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: can be productive in this offense. And I'll go back

365
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: and I'll defer to the head coach. Right again. Another

366
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: in a typically a press conference full of vague generalities,

367
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: another point of candor for for Kyle Shanahan is the

368
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 1: injuries have an impact. Okay, that that there have been

369
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: a couple of instances during the Jimmy Garoppolo tenure where

370
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he's been pretty good, pretty productive. There

371
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: have been times when they have had to rely on

372
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: second and third string quarterbacks to finish out the season.

373
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't care who you're strounded by

374
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: or what team you are. If that happens, the record

375
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: isn't going to be as good as if your starter

376
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: was there. And as you continue to go forward, and

377
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: those types of seasons stack up, and they have stacked

378
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: up now that you look back at it, and you

379
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: want more or security from the most valuable position. Well,

380
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: having the number three overall pick plus Jimmy Garoppolo as

381
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: opposed to kind of some uh, some backups that haven't

382
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: been able to know backup can produce what a starter can.

383
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, that's what I took from that is, Look,

384
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: injuries are a factor best ability availability, if we want

385
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: to use the cliche, right, So, I think from that standpoint,

386
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: I think they would be comfortable having Jimmy there. The

387
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: tough part is this right there, aren't a lot of

388
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks like Alex Smith who did it in Kansas City,

389
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: or Ryan Fitzpatrick who's done it for I don't know

390
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: every team on the planet who can come in and

391
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: start while a younger player is developing. Right that that

392
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: that that's a pretty tough spot. So it's a matter

393
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: of circumstance, right what you can get. Of course, they're

394
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: going to take a phone call. What would it cost

395
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: to get Jimmy, Well, it can be pretty high because

396
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: they're pretty confident. So I wouldn't say it changed. But

397
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: I think what Kyle said about the injuries really spoke

398
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: to me, and it spoke to me in a very

399
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: logical way. Um, So that's why I think there's great

400
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: there's both great respect for Jimmy well also the understanding

401
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: that they'd like to get a bit more security at

402
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: that quarterback spot. Uh, they're gonna have all those things

403
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: heading into this draft. And you know, for as interesting

404
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: as that number three pick is gonna be, right, so

405
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: is the Garoppolo situation now and Friday, Saturday, Sunday and

406
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: on and on on into the future. Uh, this team

407
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: is going to be intriguing as they continue to make

408
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: moves working their way towards Week one. Yeah, and I'm

409
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: going back, you know, I'm trying to take away what

410
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: I learned on Monday and then also what we learned

411
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: back in March. And they talk about, you know, the

412
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: value of being able to have a guy like Jimmy

413
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and someone to come and learn under him. We

414
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: all know, you know, Kyle Shannion doesn't have the most

415
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: simple offense in the NFL. It's not as one of

416
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: the most complex ones. So you think about having a

417
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: guy like Jimmy still there in the fold. But it

418
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: brings me back to looking at what Jimmy brings to

419
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: this team. And yes, we talk about injuries and and

420
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: yes that cliche availability is the best ability, but when

421
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: he is on that field and what he does for

422
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: this team since joining the team twenty two and eight

423
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: record as the starter and then conversely this is the

424
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: kicker when him with him not in the lineup seven

425
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: and twenty six, I think that says a lot. It

426
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: says a lot about his value. But that's a perfect

427
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: stat for exactly what we're talking about, exactly exactly, but

428
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: it goes but it goes back to his availability, which

429
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: is why the forty Niners had to make this move.

430
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: They felt like this was the best direction for the future.

431
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: Now as of now, he is a member of the

432
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners. And and John even said this back in March.

433
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: If a call comes in there, they're gonna listen to offers,

434
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: not saying they're gonna jump at the first one, but

435
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna listen. I think nobody's exempt maybe besides potentially

436
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: a Nick Boson and George Kittle. I don't think maybe

437
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: people are exempt from from being out of that conversation.

438
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: If somebody calls and wants to put in a good

439
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: offer for a guy like Jimmy Garoppola. Yeah, I mean,

440
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: you've you've you've got to listen. You have to look

441
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: at the the best way to get your team the

442
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: farthest in the next season and in future seasons. And

443
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: I think this this whether they keep Jimmy or not,

444
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: or anything that happens. They're in a position of power

445
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons that we already talked about.

446
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: That they have the control with the draft pick from

447
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: the trade. They have a quarterback who's been to Super

448
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Bowl with that record that you just said twenty two

449
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: and eight as a starter with the Florida Hitors. That's

450
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: I think pretty good, I would say. And then that

451
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: this roster is not your typical number three you know

452
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: draft picks roster, right, that this roster is better. So

453
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: they can look at it and really, you know, take

454
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: a look at all of these different quarterback options. They

455
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: don't absolutely need someone to come in and start day one.

456
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: They could develop, or they could get a day one

457
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: starter and trade that their options are available to them there.

458
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: They are not dependent on anything else happening. And that

459
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: is a strong position to be in. Was it costly, Sure,

460
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: that's what the market bore out, right, But if you

461
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: look at what the Jets did, right, you know, like

462
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: they talk about, okay, so that Fernando has had to

463
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: trade some first round picks uh for the opportunity to

464
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: take this quarterback at number three. Well, in essence, the

465
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets when they drafted Sam Donald number three overall,

466
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: they gave that pick away, right, they didn't make the playoffs,

467
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: they have gotten rid of him, and now they're back

468
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: in the quarterback market. Right, that number three overall pick waste,

469
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: complete waste, right, So can the forty niners use all

470
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: that draft capital, which was theoretical at best, and turn

471
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: it into a really good franchise quarterback that can be

472
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: here for ten years and work Kyle Shanahan's system and

473
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: partner with him to make and entertaining productive and efficient offense. Right.

474
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: If that happens, that's all that matters. And the best

475
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: thing about Garoppolo being here from a big picture forty Niners,

476
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: John Lynch and Kyle viewing it from thirty feet perspective

477
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: is there isn't the absolute passionate rush that there would

478
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: be in another situation. So again, luxury item, and they

479
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: can make the best decisions for themselves based upon that. Again,

480
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: it's a position that very few teams have. It's a

481
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: position that the forty Niners have traded for, bought and

482
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: and and afforded themselves. And you know, if they make

483
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: the right calls here, there is absolutely no reason I

484
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: can see logically why they cannot make a jump. Why

485
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a true outlier season and they hopped right

486
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: back on the momentum train that they were on. Manscape

492
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: we're talking about Jimmy and I want to shift a

493
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: little bit to this current forty niners roster um and

494
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: looking ahead to some of the pieces that they have

495
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: going into maybe something that they don't have. And so

496
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: with that, it's the perfect time to throw it in

497
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: some with some of our fan questions. And I'm gonna

498
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: take our first one. It's from Armando Korea from San Antonio, Texas.

499
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: Armando wants to know have we found a replacement for

500
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman? Yet? We're jumping straight from Jimmy Garovel. We're

501
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: going right new Richard Sherman. What's up with sherm? Have

502
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: we found a replacement? And I'll jump in uh first

503
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: and if you have anything to add, Scott it Uh

504
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: as of now, sure, I'm still a free agent. Forty

505
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: Niners were able to resign Jason Verrett. They're able to

506
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: resign Emmanuel Moseley. Um, I think I'm missing another name

507
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: in there, but uh yeah, yeah, um. So the forty

508
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: Niners have some pieces there. Do I necessarily think it's

509
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: a replacement for Richard Sherman. No, but I think in

510
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: one of our next topics. We're gonna talk about that

511
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: in just a bit. But I do think that that's

512
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: a position of need for the forty Niners, um, and

513
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: not necessarily his replacement. But they have pieces there, and

514
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: they're clearly comfortable enough with those two pieces that they

515
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have to go too much out outside of

516
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: the organization to bring in talent. But Scott, what's your

517
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: take on on the cornerback position for the forty Niners.

518
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever replaced a guy who's

519
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: one of the best to ever do it right, there's

520
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: no oh, well we lost Ronnie lock we go pluck

521
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: another Ronnie Lot out of the free agent. Well, I mean,

522
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: that type of thing doesn't happen, Nor does it happen

523
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: where you can get rid of his Richard's presence and

524
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: his locker room leadership and his ability to from a

525
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: selfish media person's perspective, his incredible ability to sum everything

526
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: up in a logical, passionate, entertaining way. Uh, that stuff

527
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: can't be replaced. But I think they found a guide

528
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: that they feel comfortable starting last year. Right. You mentioned

529
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: Jason uh Brett. I've seen him play when he was

530
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: with the Charges. I've seen him play at a really

531
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: high level. The problem is he's only two times in

532
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: six season says he played thirteen or more games, lots

533
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: of injury history. That was a big knock on him

534
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: coming out of TCU when he was a first round

535
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: draft pick. But for an an honest fans off firsthand

536
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: how good this guy can be. There's never once in

537
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: the history of his career has anyone said he's really

538
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: not that talented. I mean, that's not a thing, right,

539
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: He is supremely talented when he's healthy. Um, So I

540
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: think that that that that's a good spot. And I

541
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: think if you look at it and they have mostly

542
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: and they have Williams, you look at that starting cornerback

543
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: corps and you're like, all right, I go to Sundays

544
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: with this, um. But yeah, replacing Richard Sherman, I mean,

545
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: like that's really tough. I'm curious, what do you think

546
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: about walking into a season saying mostly that outside quarterback

547
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: spots yours for sixteen games? Are you comfortable there? Uh?

548
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: He's done some good things for the Fortys in the past.

549
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: We all know what breat can do when healthy. Nobody

550
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: can argue against the fact that Williams is one of

551
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: the best nickel corners that there is. What about mostly

552
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: are you confident saying sixteen games? Go for it? You

553
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: know what I am? And I say that because I

554
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: look at him being and I'm trying to remember my

555
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: years because some of them become a blur, but I

556
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: think it might have been twenty nineteen season. But is

557
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: dealing with injuries, He's thrust into the starting line up.

558
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: This is an undrafted guy of forty Niners. Obviously saw

559
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: something in him in training camp and and had enough

560
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: confidence in him being put in as a starter, and

561
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean he excelled in that role. So with that

562
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: and through his experience and even last year, you know,

563
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: he starting off the season, he wasn't the forty Niners

564
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: starting cornerback Kello Witherspoon was, and he was off to

565
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: a pretty decent start, but then injuries happened and Kelly

566
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: or and Emmanuel Moseley is thrown back into the lineup

567
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: and kind of picks up where he took off. Um

568
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: because of that I'm comfortable with Emmanuel Moseley being a starter.

569
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: I think because he might not be one of those big,

570
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: flashy names that we know of a Jason Varetta, Richard Sherman, uh,

571
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: some of these other guys out here. Because he might

572
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: not be a name of that caliber of people might

573
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: shy well like we need a bigger name here. But

574
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: I do think he has the talent, and even before

575
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: he departed, Robert Sale always had so much praise for

576
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Moseley in the type of cornerback he is now.

577
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: With this all being that, do I necessarily feel like

578
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are like, hey, I think we're pretty set.

579
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: Let's kick our feet up. We're good for the rest

580
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: of the draft. Absolutely not. They're gonna want to get

581
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 1: better at every single position. And do I foresee a

582
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: lot of camp battles. Absolutely um yeah. And you you know,

583
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: you talk to some of these draft analysts and they're

584
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: saying that that sweet spot in that draft for maybe

585
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: a starting caliber cornerback is that first back into that

586
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: first to the second round. That's your sweet spot, and

587
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: that forty Niners have that what I believe the forty

588
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: three overall pick I don't have the numbers in front

589
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: of me, but having that that pick right there, I

590
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: think is very very valuable, uh and a good prime

591
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: spot to maybe get somebody to to compete with Emmanuel Moseley. Um,

592
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: we don't even know if Jason Rutt's locked in. You know,

593
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: everything's a battle. So it'll be really interesting to see

594
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: what happens and what transpires beginning this week and then

595
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: also heading into training camp next week. So are not

596
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: next week later on this summer? I would wish training

597
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: camp was next week. I'm ready for But you know

598
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: what that you know, we're talking about the cornerback position,

599
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: and we could see the forty Niners might decide to

600
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: go corner ed pick number forty three. But we have

601
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: another fan question from Bob Poles on Twitter asked, well,

602
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: what are some of the other needs that we think

603
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: that the forty Niners could be addressing in the draft.

604
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: We talk about quarterback, we talked about cornerback. Scott, what

605
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: do you see as some of these big needs? You know,

606
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: for as productive and successful as the forty Nanners front

607
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: office was at keeping their own very underrated skill um

608
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: from a lot of NFL teams, keeping the guys that

609
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: they want. One that got away was Kendrick Bourne, Right,

610
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: but that's one guy who on third and eight always

611
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: seemed to get nine yards. It's a valuable commodity to have,

612
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: and to not have him around anymore kind of makes

613
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: me think they could really use some wide receiver help

614
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: and some wide receiver depth. I think it could be

615
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: useful overall. Right, that that, when you look at their

616
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: depth chart seems a little thin to me. I mean,

617
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: you obviously like Deebo, you obviously like Brandon Um, but

618
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: after that you have uh s New You know he's

619
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: a VET. But I think to get some more guys

620
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: in the mix there, I think could be key. Kyle

621
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: really seems to like versatile players, right, running backs that

622
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: can do wide receiver things. UM, wide receivers that can

623
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: do running back things like Deebo Samuel literally running over people.

624
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: Um that maybe there could be somebody who could play inside,

625
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: play outside, do some of those versatile things that work

626
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: well within his scheme. Um. That seems like one you

627
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: think offensive line depth can't hurt, even though they seem

628
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: said at tackle with Williams and with Mike McGlinchey getting

629
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: his fifth round, I'm sorry, it's fifth year option picked

630
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: up that there's more security there. Where do you think

631
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: edge rusher sits here? Keana? I I can't seem to

632
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: wrap my head around in terms of a I already

633
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: list in terms of how pressing that need is. Um,

634
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: where do you think it fits? Would you be surprised

635
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: or what? Or like, what are your expectations for maybe

636
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: the forty Niners going out and trying to get some

637
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: help along that defensive front, especially off the edge. Yeah? Um,

638
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: So I actually got to do a sit down with

639
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: John Lynch which is coming up on forty niners dot

640
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: com this week, and you know, one of the questions

641
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask, but you know, it's kind of serious.

642
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to be too jokey joky, but I

643
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: wanted to ask, like, so, which edge rush are you

644
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: getting with number three overall? Because look at the history

645
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: of the forty Niners drafts, right, that's about every year

646
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: they are always trying to beef up that defensive line.

647
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 1: And I remember I talked to John a while ago

648
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: and he said, one of the most important positions on

649
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: the field is the quarterback. So your job is to

650
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: how do you how do you counter that, and you

651
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: do that with that pass rush. So forty Niners always

652
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: put an emphasis on that position. So with that, I

653
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: would not be surprised, not saying a third overall, but

654
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised to see the forty Niners

655
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: trying to beef up that position in some fashion. And

656
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: I say this because it's just we're in a state

657
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: of unknowns. You know. We we see how Nick Bosa

658
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,479
Speaker 1: has looked on social media. He's looked incredible, he looks

659
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: like he's ready to hit the field tomorrow, but still

660
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: he's working his way back from injury. And the same

661
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: thing with d Ford. We're still waiting to get that

662
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: update on him and dealing with the neck issue, and

663
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: that's a serious injury. That's not something you can just

664
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: bounce back from, so you know, you still have to

665
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: weigh these options. I know forty Niners, um they uh

666
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: signed a couple of guys will talk about in a bit,

667
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: but I think you want to be sure at that position,

668
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: and that's one place that John Lynch really likes to

669
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: put a point of emphasis on. So I wouldn't be surprised.

670
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: You know, it's not one of their greatest needs. I

671
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: don't see it as cornerback and wide receiver. Because you

672
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: brought up a fantastic point of forty Niners are relatively

673
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: thin beyond Deebo, Samuel and Brandon. I like a lot

674
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: of unproven talent um, not including Mohammed Sanu. But uh uh,

675
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: I think that I would put edge rusher maybe in

676
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: a top four, top five of the forty niners needs

677
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: heading into the draft. Yeah. And I love what you

678
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: said right before we hit the record button about your

679
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: draft need wild card. That pretty interesting one. I think

680
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: that that I didn't think of, but I can but

681
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: I can totally see your logic on on your wild

682
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: card draft need. Yeah, my wild card draft need. You

683
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: know when you think of Kyle Shanahan, like, I'm gonna

684
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: ask you, you know my answer, but I want to

685
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: see if it if it matches up. When you think

686
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: of Kyle shanahany you think of one position in particular

687
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: that he just loves to have fun with and one

688
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: that he is so masterful with. What position comes to mind? Well,

689
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean you obviously think about the guy carrying the rock,

690
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: right um, the guy you know in the backfield that

691
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: ain't throwing the running back position. Uh, there's so many

692
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: innovative things that he's done, but so many guys you've

693
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: never heard of had become that running back is it? Yeah?

694
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: So for me, I feel like the running back position

695
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: could be a wild card in this draft forty nine.

696
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: I know they have Rheem Mostered, and you have Jeff

697
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: Wilson Jr. And you have Um Austin Walter or no,

698
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you have ja Michael Hasty, undrafted guy from

699
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: last year still on this roster. But they bring in

700
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman this offseason and and that adds a little

701
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: bit of depth. And I just I really believe that

702
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: if Kyle Shanahan has his eye on a guide might

703
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: not be one of those first round flashy talents. But

704
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: you gotta look at what Kyle Shanahan can do with

705
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: that running back position. And I go back to looking

706
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: at Matt Brita and how he excelled under Shanahan. I

707
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: look at Jeff Wilson and how he's he's developing and exceeding.

708
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm going to toss it to a

709
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: question Um that we actually had. Someone asked why the

710
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: signing of Wayne gone and when they have Wilson, So

711
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: why would they make this deal. But Kyle Shannon doesn't

712
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 1: run his offense with just one lead back. He likes

713
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: to mix them in. He he likes to kind of

714
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: he plays. He plays chess, not checkers, and I think

715
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: he does that with the running back position too. So

716
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by that this signing. It's added depth.

717
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: But also I do think that the forty Niners might

718
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: look to the draft to bring in some young talent.

719
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: And also, again, no spot is secure on this roster.

720
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna have tons of training camp battles and if

721
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: they have a way to upgrade at that position, they

722
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do so this week. Yeah, And

723
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: I think that while every fan and everybody wants to

724
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: help the Niners excel, it's also especially with those later

725
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: round picks, that true good, good playoff teams, good playoff

726
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: front offices they hit in round three, four and five.

727
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: They draft Dre green Laws and George Kittles and Fred

728
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: Warner's in those middle rounds. Right, even though those guys

729
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: may not not every one of those guys are are

730
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: are going to be immediate impact players. For as successful

731
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: as the offseason was and everything that we talked about

732
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: about them resigning people. How many one year deals are there, right,

733
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: how many guys are gonna go back into the friegent

734
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: pool next year? So I think that with all that

735
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: added into it, right, that you can't help look like, Okay,

736
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: even if even if a running back might not be

737
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: the pressing need that maybe some other positions are, you've

738
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: got to look to the future a little bit too

739
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: and find somebody who is under a rookie deal who's

740
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: gonna be relatively cheap and could still fit into what

741
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: they like to do. Um. So that's why, you know,

742
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: I really liked it. That's why I brought it up here,

743
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, Um, you know now that we're going just

744
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: because I think it's a really interesting concept, something for

745
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: fans to keep in the back of their mind, especially

746
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: when we get into day three and we get down

747
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: to maybe names that we don't know anymore. Kind of

748
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: just having that in back to your mind. Hey, maybe

749
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna do this, maybe they're gonna do that. Um.

750
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: Might be a fun Saturday exercise for forty niners who

751
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: will already know three draft picks but have several more

752
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: coming on Saturday. This podcast is sponsored by Manscaped The

759
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: But you're right, that's their money round. You look at

760
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: those names. I mean at that point, at that time,

761
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: who knew George Kittle would be George Kittle a fifth

762
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: round guy who is now arguably one of the best

763
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league. Uh. In the forty Niners

764
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: seemed to really hit on that sweet spot. Those those

765
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: later round guys. I'm gonna throw d J. Jones in

766
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: that mix too, So another name that you know might

767
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: not have been the most well known name, but look

768
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: at what he's been able to do and how he's

769
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: been able to contribute. But uh, speaking of signings, I

770
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: talked about Wayne Gallman, but forty Niners added some talent

771
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: on defense last week. Guys around your neck of the woods,

772
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Maurice Hearst and Arden Key, two guys you covered with

773
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders since they've been in the league. But what

774
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: can you tell us about both of these guys, what

775
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: they might bring and how they might fit into the

776
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: forty niners needs and plans. Yeah, I think that that

777
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: mores Hearst pick up was I'll just say excellent um

778
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: for to have him get cut. I was shocked and

779
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: he was a person that uh he has a he

780
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: has a documented heart condition that has never come up

781
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: in his football playing days as an amateur or as

782
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: a pro, but it exists, and it seemed to drop

783
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: his draft stock from maybe early second round, low first

784
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: round pick to the fifth round. Right. But again that's

785
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: the physical issues have never been a problem. And I

786
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: can tell you this guy can play some three technique.

787
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: He's in the top maybe thirty five defensive tackles in

788
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: terms of pass rush ability on on Pro Football Focus.

789
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: He gets off the snap really quickly. He's a better

790
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: run defender than he gets credit for. I think because

791
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: he's not a massive nose tackle necessarily, and when you

792
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: can add him to the mix of javon Kin Law

793
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,479
Speaker 1: and uh, you know Jones and that that he's gonna

794
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 1: be a good role player for this team. I think

795
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be a very active player on Sundays. Also,

796
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: one of the best humans I've met in an NFL

797
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: locker room, just a genuine, down to earth guy that's

798
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: that's really gonna get along well within a pretty tight

799
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: knit group. So I think that's a big late pick

800
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: up that Fort Anders fans will look back on at

801
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: the end of the year and be like, we got

802
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: that guy in late April, Like, how is that possible? Um.

803
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: The ardent key thing is is more of a bunch

804
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: of question marks, right because he's a guy with I

805
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: think two career sacks and almost three seasons, not a

806
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: lot of production. But if you go back and you

807
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: look at his junior year from l s U, the

808
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: guys like unbelievable, unstoppable. He has all the physical traits

809
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: that you want, the bend, the the drive, the speed

810
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: off the edge. Um. He had trouble with the Raiders

811
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: keeping weight on. He booked upped in, you know, to

812
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty and then during the season it would

813
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: come back off just through the natural kind of wear

814
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: and tear um of the game. So he's a real

815
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: wild card. Maybe he's a contributor, maybe he's not. But

816
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: I think any time that you have defensive line coach

817
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: as respected as Chris um uh cass Eric right who

818
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: wants you and maybe you want to see what he

819
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: can do with arden Key, it at least should peak

820
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: forty Niners fans interest during training camp and when you

821
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: can kind of get to see him try to get

822
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: fight back into the mix. Um, it could be interesting.

823
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: That's a real wild card signing there where I think

824
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: that Mohurst is one of those guys that, in my opinion,

825
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to hen into the depth chart

826
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: and really count on as a pretty solid role player

827
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: going into the next season. Yeah, forty five, forty Nines

828
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: fans should be excited to hear about that, and especially

829
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: you talk about one of the the greatest guys, a

830
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: locker room guy and being in there. Forty not just

831
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: preach about culture a lot, and that's just adding to

832
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: what they're already building, you know. I know we hear

833
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: a lot about you know, grabbing guys, these free agents,

834
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: these free agents, but it's not just the talent that

835
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: John and Kyle assess, but it's also what do they

836
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: bring to the locker room. You know, That's one thing

837
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: that they pride themselves on and and I can even

838
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: attest to that. So that's just another example of that

839
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: and a great pick up for the forty Niners right there.

840
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, surprised by that that release, I was

841
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: as well. But the last thing before we wrap this up,

842
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: because I can't keep you too long, Scott. So, I

843
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: got a fan question from Steven Charles from Charlotte, North Carolina.

844
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: But a Bay Area guy wants to say, wants to

845
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: know everyone thinks the forty Niners are looking for another

846
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first but the remaining choices to him

847
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: don't seem as appealing. So what's your thoughts if the

848
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: forty Niners take maybe an old line in a guard

849
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: or a tackle instead of maybe going quarterback. And I'm

850
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: going to change this question a little bit because I

851
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: don't I'm gonna be honest, I don't see that happening, uh,

852
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: forty Niners. I think to move up and give give

853
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: up everything that they have for this number three overall

854
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: pick to grab a guard attackle when they're pretty much

855
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: set on the old line. It does not make sense

856
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: in my mind. So I'm gonna switch this question and

857
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out one of the flashier names that

858
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: is the talk of the draft. Kyle Pitts. Uh, he's

859
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: tied in out of Florida, people saying the best behind

860
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: Travel Lawrence, the best player in this draft. But do

861
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: you see any surprises happening with this number three overall pick?

862
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: If if it's not a quarterback, you'd be able to

863
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: knock me down with a feather just uh, just kill somebody.

864
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: You have to rub the smelling salts on because I'd

865
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: be knocked out from sheer surprise, and it would be

866
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: the best ruse in the history of the n f L.

867
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: For Kyle and John to come out during the pre

868
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: draft presscott pre draft press conference, say that three times

869
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: past uh and say we're gonna take we're looking for

870
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. And then they don't take a quarterback.

871
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: That would be quite something. So that's not something that

872
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: I would anticipate. Despite the fact that pairing George Kittle

873
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts together would um drive opposing defensive coordinators

874
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: literally insane, like break up the straight jackets type of

875
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: a thing. But this was a play for a quarterback.

876
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: This was a trade for a quarterback. This was a

877
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: trade for an element of control that the forty niners

878
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: have given their unique circumstances what they need, what they want, um,

879
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: and they're in a position to more than most control

880
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: their own destiny in a way uh that few get

881
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: unless you're the absolute number one overall pick. So I

882
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: think for that reason, they did what they had to do.

883
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: And you know what I keep saying it if they

884
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you like or don't like the

885
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: pick on Thursday, Right, it matters if you like or

886
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: you don't like what that quarterback is able to do

887
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: as a rookie and a second year player. And something

888
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: tells me that you know, whether it's Mac Jones or

889
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: Justin Fields or Trey Lance, right that whoever they pick,

890
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: or you know that there's gonna be somebody who on

891
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: draft Day says that draft pick stinks. I don't like it.

892
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: And guess what that same person who if that quarterback

893
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: takes them into the draft, they won't say they were wrong,

894
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: but they will say, man, I love this guy. Let's

895
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: go buy a jersey from my kid. Right that that

896
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: that person can be the same person and say those

897
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: separate things. So, um, it's all about getting to the beat.

898
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: It's getting to the second tweet, right, it's not the

899
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: first one. It's getting to the second tweet that matters.

900
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: And that's ultimately you know what, you have to really

901
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: put faith in the decision makers. UM at this point

902
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: and UH and furs decision makers have given themselves an

903
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: ability to again to control what they do here. UH

904
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: in in large part that's why it's interesting, why it's fascinating,

905
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: and why, as you brought up very smartly at the

906
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: start of this pod, is a good way to end it.

907
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: This number three pick will be a domino that gets

908
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: pushed right that could create absolute, totally awesome and fun

909
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: chaos all the way from the draft board. So chaos.

910
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: Chaos is the perfect word to describe it. But you're right,

911
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: the dominoes will fall forty Niners keeping their cards close

912
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: to their chests, and rightfully so, it will certainly be

913
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: a very large shock if they did decide to go

914
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: a different direction. I wouldn't be blown away, honestly, they were, truly.

915
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: I think they would blindside the entire league if they

916
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: decided to go that direction. So I don't necessarily see

917
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: that happening. I believe they have their eyes on a

918
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: prospect maybe two that they really have honed in on

919
