It has 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.320 been too long. Leja Dusabul is back on the pod. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.520 How are you. I'm doing good? Hey, how are you doing? Man? 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.400 It's almost draft week? It's almost draft week for a 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.320 couple of weeks away. You've had some exciting personal news. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.720 The congratulations to you. How are you in the new family? 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.800 I'm good man. Yeah, jumped the broom yesterday, so feeling 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:41.960 good man. Stealing marital bliss marital marital blisses, they would say, So, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.239 you know, I'm walking on cloud nine. But you are 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.960 one of the most hard working guys in this business. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.240 Are you gonna take a honeymoon at some point? We're 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.840 recording one day after you put the ring on? Everybody 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.760 says that, man, my wife knows who she married, and 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.960 she knew that the draft was coming up. We agreed 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.880 to go in mid May. So we're gonna take our 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.720 honeymoon and in May. Good stuff. She's a real one. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.280 Many blessings to you, guys, and I know you're gonna 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:15.280 have great adventures ahead. Speaking of adventures, what is it 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.160 like for you as far as your draft preparation because 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.399 the one thing that really always stands out to me 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.679 is that you love to watch guys in person. Tape 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.600 is very important, but you like getting on the road 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.119 and watching guys do it in front of you. Yeah, 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.840 my draft prep starts doing the fall EA. And I'm 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:37.920 blessed to call college football, so I actually get a 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.080 leg up on a lot of these things compared to 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.000 other guys breaking down the draft because I actually get 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.280 to see a lot of these guys up close and personal. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.720 So being able to call college games, I get to 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.360 see up close and personal where it's you know, pre game, 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.680 down on the field or calling the game live. You 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.920 get to see, you know, some physical presence of guys. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.520 You know, we were talking about this earlier, Darnell right right. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.800 You see the physicality on hey, But it's totally different 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.440 when I went to the Senior Bowl and I got 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.639 to see it at field level. Being on the field 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.480 and seeing this guy dominate guys left and right. It's 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.360 a whole different field when you get to see it 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.880 up close and personal. I'm glad you mentioned Darnel right 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.799 last year we were both in mobile. Robert Sala, of 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.640 course and his staff were coaching up those guys, as 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.920 were the Detroit Lions. Both those teams, I would argue 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.000 two of the NFL's biggest surprises. The Jets would have 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.840 been in the playoffs last season had they not fallen 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.880 apart down the stretch, largely due to injury. And Detroit 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.639 really made a number of great strides. But last year 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.520 you came out of Mobile. I'll never forget this talking 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.640 up Jermaine Johnson, and now you're talking up a guy 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.799 on the other side of the line of scrimmage and 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:55.120 Darnel right, Yeah, definitely, Jermaine Johnson was my favorite player 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.519 in Mobile. A matter of fact, he dominated so well 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.200 the first two days. Decided to leave because I think 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.440 that could have helped. That happened with him hurt his 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.600 draft stock after that. Darnell Wright technically could have did 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.480 the same thing this year. EA, But that shows what 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.920 type of competitor is not the Jermaine isn't. Right. You 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.040 gotta make smart business decisions. If you feel like you're 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.720 at the pinnacle of where you could be draft at 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.200 his wise, why put yourself in harm's away? And Jamaine 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.919 Johnson was smart and he left Mobile. Darnell Wright, right, 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.760 I think coming into Mobile, a lot of people saw 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.200 him maybe as a second third round pick. I think 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.080 after Mobile and then going back and rewatching the tape 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.960 and getting some affirmations, I would not be surprised this 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.240 guy's a top fifteen pick in this draft. Honestly, some 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.440 talent evaluators and guys I've talked to have him as 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.160 a number one tackle, you know, in this draft class. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.360 And you can see why. Right the physicality that he 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.680 brings now he struggled the year before playing at left tackle. 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.360 I think he's more naturally built for the right side. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.840 He's more dominant on that right side. And then if 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.360 you turn on the film right versus Trey Von Walker, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.560 you know, two years ago and then this past year 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.280 verst Will Anderson, who people cansider the best prospect in 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.960 his draft class, he put them in the blender EA, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.240 like it was almost like they weren't even at the game. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.800 That's how dominant this guy is. Like, if you put 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.560 your best rusher on his side, he can make them disappear. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.240 And that's essentially what he did for the Tennessee Balls, 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.760 and then again at the Senior Bowl, where you know 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.400 you get some of the best players in the nation 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.000 dominated there too, had some really good battles with Will 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.279 McDonald from Iowa State, who a lot of people consider 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.520 to be a probably a better pro prospect than College, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.760 had a lot of production two years ago in the 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.080 year before that. They kind of switched their scheme up 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.680 this year in Iowa State and kind of had him 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.840 reduced head up on the tackle. That's not what he's 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.360 gonna be doing in the NFL. It's gonna be coming 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.039 off the edge of Russian They had a lot of 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:40.880 good battles Ea, and I think both of those guys 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.520 that ultimately probably end up in the first round if 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.440 the Jet stew indeed keep that thirteenth overall selection, which 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:52.440 we believe they will. Many pundits think that ultimately it's 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.560 gonna come down to the best tackle available. Is that 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.800 the way you view it right now, And also connected 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.960 the Jets current landscape at the position he's Dwayne Brown 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.159 basically toughted out all year. He could have took a 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.520 payjack and he was playing on one arm. Unbelievable season 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.599 from my vanished point. McKay Beckton, he's been on social 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.080 media showing people the work that he's put into Shredded 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.680 body throughout throughout the off season, and then the Jets 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.280 were really happy about where Max Mitchell was at because 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.600 when they drafted him in the forced rown last year, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.080 they were talking about, hey, this is more of a 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.480 developmental player. He was forced in the starting lineup and 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.480 they liked the play they got out of him. So 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.000 can you talk about these tackles in the draft and 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.320 also where the Jets are at the position? Yeah, before 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:45.680 we get into that ear, I would like to go 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.560 ahead and give Joe d some love because I know 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.760 he was kind of under scrutiny right because of what 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.919 happened at the tackle position. But if you're a GM, 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.839 what more can you do? Right? You literally brought into 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.080 Wayne Brown, right, who was a parent of a pro 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.800 bowler because McKay Beckton got her. George Fant was a 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.799 guy I played at a high level of the year before, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.440 and you drafted Max Mitchell. So you had four guys 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.440 for two spots and all four got hurt. So what 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.159 can you do in that scenario? If you're Joe Douglass, 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.040 So you want to give him a shout out because 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.560 we know that Joe Douglass likes to build his teams 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.760 from the trenches back right, and he tried to do 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.279 his best to make sure he had enough players for 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.880 those two spots, but all four got hurt. And then 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.520 a guy that they took in the first round the 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.760 year before that, Elijah Vera Tucker, who I think it'd 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.640 be a perennial All Pro at guard. He moved out 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.520 to left tackle and look really well, and then he 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.520 got hurt. So it's like, what do you do? So 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.680 if you're looking at this draft, right, I think they 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.520 are gonna go off of to Tagle. We don't know 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.760 what d Wayne Brown is gonna ultimately do. Is he 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.960 gonna come back and play another year? I think I know. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.800 Last time, you know, I talked to Robert Salad and 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.880 the last time Robert solid at the press conference, he 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.440 says they're working through that right now, right mcay Beckton, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.279 to your point, EA looks really good, but the injury 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.680 history is there, right, he hasn't been available. Max Mitchell 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.719 looked really good and then he ended up getting hurt 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.480 and had to sit out for the rest of the 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:07.800 year due to some untimely circumstances when it came to health, right, 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.640 So it was tough for that kid. It suck for 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.240 him because he's playing really well too for a fourth 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.640 rown pick to be thrust into the starting lineup, But 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.960 I don't think that was the plan coming into the season. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.840 So now you look at it like this, does Dwayne 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.640 Brown come back? If? Yes, all right, we got some debt, right, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.960 McKay Beckton's there, Max Mitchell. We have three guys hopefully 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.760 that can stay healthy and play. I think you still 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.280 got to add an offensive tackle for the future, right 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.400 because the Wayne Brown's on his last year. You gotta 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.520 figure out what you're gonna do with McCay Beckton in 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.800 the fifth year option. You're probably not gonna pick it up. 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.040 So essentially he could be free after this year as well. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.840 So you talk about not having any depth at the 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.880 offensive tackle position, being right back where you were last year. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.360 So as you break it down, Paris Johnson, to me, 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.360 the offensive tackle from Ohio State is the best pure 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.840 left tackle on this draft. Now, he does have flexibility 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.760 because he played guard all last year and before that 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.040 before moving to left tackle, but as far as just 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.480 pure left tackle, I think he's the best in his draft. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.840 Peter Scronsky, I don't think he's a left tackle in 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.760 the League, even though he played that at Northwestern. I 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.960 think he's better student to play right tackle. People talked 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.800 about his arm length. I think it'd be a really 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.800 good guard as well too. But I think if you 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.200 really play at right tackle and be good, and then 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.960 if you need him to move into guard, I think 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.800 they won't be any fall off if he does move 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.720 into guard. A lot of people have already penciled him 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.880 in at guard at the next level because of the 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.200 arm length and that being a concern right and if 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.920 you look at some of the people that have given 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.320 them issues before, some longer length, you know, defensive ents 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.880 if he struggled with so I mean maybe that's the 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.120 issue when you come when it comes to arm length 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.439 and Peter Scronsky Roderick Jones to me, EA has the 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.000 highest ceiling out of everybody. I mean the athletic ability 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.920 that he has. A lot of people have penciled him 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.120 in at thirteen to the Jets, which makes a lot 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.160 of sense because he does have the flexibility to play 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.960 left or right tackle. So say Dwayne Brown does come back, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.439 you could play him at the right tackle. I think 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.280 he maybe can even play some guard too, But I 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.079 think he's a guy that you know coming out has 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.280 a higher ceiling than Andrew Thomas. And we saw Andrew 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.160 Thomas take a big leap this last year and he's 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.600 a really good tackle. But I think Roderick Jones could 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.120 be even better. Let's not forget he's young, EA kids, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.560 twenty one years old, he has a lot of room 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.800 to grow, so I think he could be. He could be. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.000 As far as having the highest setling out of the 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.240 all four, I think it's him. And then talking about 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.160 the most physically dominant tackle, it's without a doubt Darnell 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.960 right right, I mean struggled last year at left tackle, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.600 moved the right tackle and was all a world this year. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.079 We talked about it. Some of the guys he's face, 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.200 Will Anderson made him disappear on film, and a lot 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.120 of people have Will Anderson as a number one prospect 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.280 in this draft. Right, you talk about Trayvon Walker who 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.120 went number one overall last year, ate his lunch too, 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.880 So like, this is a guy that can be physically 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.199 dominant and then he's gonna make your run game leap 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.040 from day one. So if you're looking for somebody to 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.120 come in and jump start your run game, look no 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.520 further than Darnelle, right. I think Douglas continues to be 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.280 crafty and free agency, most recently with the signing of 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.040 Quentin Jefferson and a guy who played well in Seattle 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.640 last season, I believe a career high in sacks five 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.600 and a half sacks. So you'll add him to the 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:07.960 rotation because defensive tackle certainly a need after Sheldon Rankin's 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.079 departs in free agency too, got a nice deal with 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.040 Damiko Ryan's in Houston. As they try to rebuild that thing, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.400 they kick get strained, Nathan Shepherd now in New Orleans, 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:22.880 Solomon Thomas back, but so they add Jefferson. But the 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.319 reason why I bring him up is do you think 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:29.240 the Jets, possibly on the other side of the ball, 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.959 could add a center before the draft so that they 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:38.320 don't have to go into the draft with that immediate need. Yeah, 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.720 I think so. They've been linked with Ben Jones right now. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.240 They think about Ben Jones. He's tough, right, he ate 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.440 toughest nails glass eater, but he's been banged up and 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.440 he's older, right, So that's a concern when you look 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.720 at it from that standpoint, because the Jets had so 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.240 many injuries last year on the office line. If you 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.960 bring in the Aaron Rodgers, who's an older quarterback, I 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.040 mean it's passer rating when he's had a clean pocket 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.720 his night and day from and he hasn't had a 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.840 clean pocket. So like you want to make sure you 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.960 have some continuity on offensive line, you want to make 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.560 sure that you can line up all five pieces for 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.800 the majority of the season. And Ben Jones has had 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.000 some issues. So I think whether they bring Brent Jones 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:13.960 in or not, EA, I would not be surprised if 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.320 they sell address center in this draft. I don't know 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.480 what round it would be, maybe four, second round. We'll see. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.320 Right now, they got those two twos, I don't know 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.960 what they'll do. Who knows how things shake out, Say 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.160 top the top four officive tackles are off the board 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.240 at thirteen to the Jets trade back and get some 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.920 more draft capital, right, that could be an option as well. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.520 So I could see them addressing that, you know, center, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.719 because I think that's more of a need right now, 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.040 especially with the signing of Quintin Jefferson than defensive tackle. Now, 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.959 I don't get it twisted, right, with the way this 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.360 defensive line rotates, you definitely need another defensive tackle to 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.360 put in there with Quinnon Williams, right, because Quintin Jefferson, 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.520 for all intents of purposes, is more of a pass 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.800 rush guy on third down. He's a guy that can 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.960 give you some five technique reps. But I mean the 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.000 Jets are deep at defensive end. They don't need enough 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.120 the guy that can line up outside and you know, 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.680 play on the rundowns. Jefferson can play in at the 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.440 three technique on rundowns, but he's more of a pass 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.080 rushing three techniques. So I think they need another guy 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.840 that could be stout inside with Quinny Williams, but also 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.920 has the ability to get up the field and recab it. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.040 It depends on what they do in the second round. Right. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.400 Keano Betton as a guy I really liked from Wisconsin 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.800 out of Tama while out of Bare from Northwestern's another 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.079 guy that if he fostered the second round, makes a 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.920 lot of sense because they fit the philosophy that Robert 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.360 Salo likes. Right foot speed and strain. Both of those 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.000 guys constantly try to get to the quarterback and there's 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.360 no quitting them. What do you make of the receiver position? 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.840 I know I'm jumping around a little bit, but you 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.720 know that's the revamped room. You still have the headliner. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.040 You know, that's Garrett Wilson. That's your number one. He 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.559 was always gonna be your number one. We knew that. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.680 But the Jets go out in free agency they signed 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.680 Allen Lazard. Of course, he's got the familiarity with Nathaniel Hackett, 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.960 He's got the familiarity with Aaron Rodgers. If a trade 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.680 does indeed happen, then at the slot position, Elijah Moore 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.880 in a third round pick, goes to Cleveland and exchange 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.280 for a second round pick, and then the Jets bring 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.040 in a versatile burner and McCole Hardman Jr. Of course, 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.440 Bracton Burial signs with the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, so I 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.120 think the jetson will be looking to add one more receiver. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.000 We don't know what round it will be in. There's 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.120 actually pretty good depth and this receiver, you know class. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.200 I think Jaden Reid is a guy that if he's 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:28.920 there in the fourth round, makes a lot of sense 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.920 from Michigan State for the Jets. And then we talked 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.880 about it, right ea, say all four of the top 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.920 official tagles are gone, Does Jackson Smith and Jigbua become 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.440 a name at thirteen? Nova Texas pick at twelve. So 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.280 I don't know if they, you know, would let him go, 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.720 especially if they get Bryce Young at number two. I 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.760 think it just makes too much sense for them not 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.800 to take him. I don't know if you take Quentin Johnson. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.320 That's why you kind of signed Alan Lazard. Same type 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.839 of body type, same type of molde. They don't have 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.319 a you know, unique route tree. But there are guys 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.280 that can go up and get the fifty fifty jump balls, 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.000 those those drag routes coming across the middle. They're both 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.320 good at that. So I don't think you go Quentin Johnson. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.640 Maybe Jordan Addison is a name that you look at right. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.319 He's got some position back flexibility where he could play 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.199 in the slot as well, So that's the guy that 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.840 could potentially look at. I just think if Jackson Smith 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.840 and Jigbud has gone, the top four tackles are gone. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.600 I would not be surprised if Joe Douglas traded back, 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.840 But receiver could be a pick they take in the 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.360 first round only if all four officsive tackles are gone. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.640 But it's also because I talk about it's pretty good 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.680 depth at this receivering class. I could see him wait 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.280 until the fourth rounds go get a receiver. A trade 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.560 back would be interesting, no doubt about that. What did 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.920 you think about the Jets interest in Nodell Backham and 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:42.560 the money he got from the Baltimore Ravens and Joe 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.600 Douglas continues to stick to his plan And I think 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.440 that's another example of it, isn't it? Oh one hundred 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.160 percent and shout out to Odell? I couldn't be more ecstatic. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.280 And I knew that Jets were never gonna pay that much, 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.880 right because he essentially got fifteen million guarantee with a 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.680 chance to make eighteen mill, Like that's literally like top 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.480 number one receiver money in the league. And he didn't 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.920 play all last year. Hea he's coming off in ACL 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.440 and I think he turns thirty one this year. And 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:12.160 I love O'Dell, but father time is undefeated. Right, Teams 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.400 at a GM tell me once, we'd rather pay a guy, 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.760 you know, let a guy leave one year too earlier 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.520 than one year too late. Right, that's the philosophy for 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.520 steel or philosophy. Yeah, that's that's the philosophy of a 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.080 lot of these teams. So like, I'm so happy from 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.240 a player's point of view, that O'Dell got that, specially 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.520 coming off an injury. I just know Joe Douglas was 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.880 never gonna pay that. Now, I think the Jets were 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.040 willing to pay more than people thought they would. Now 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.200 I've heard around twelve million dollars, which I was surprised, right. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.040 I thought it would be more of a nine million 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.120 dollars type deal with incentives to make it up to 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.520 like fifteen or you know, sixteen million dollars. But from 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.800 what I've heard that potentially the Jets were willing to 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.880 pay twelve million dollars with some incentives to to you know, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.400 to bump that number up. But I don't think they 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.440 were ever going to get close to eighteen million dollars, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.600 whether it was incentive based or not. Jets fans were 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.239 in our final push and the clock is ticking. Windbett 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.880 is giving you a golden opportunity to win VIP prizes 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.000 for the twenty twenty three season.

The best part, you get an 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:42.760 entry for every one hundred dollars you wager. Rogers he's 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:47.680 still a member the Green Bay Packers right now in 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.840 Arizona at the league meetings, saying that, hey, these teams 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.240 have had productive conversations. I know Jody was at an 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.320 event the other nights of where a lot of fans 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.320 were at and then he was asked about to buy 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.600 boomer size. And the Packers continue to be asked about 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:12.879 the situation themselves. When do you see the next flashpoint. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:17.640 We're two weeks out from the NFL Draft right now. Yeah, Ea, 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.000 it's it's getting to the point where something just needs 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.399 to get done. I think literally the day they were 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.720 looking at is either the twenty seventh or the twenty eighth. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.760 Those are the first two days in the draft. So 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:28.880 you're Green Bay, like you would have to think something 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.920 has to get done before them, because you would want 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.040 draft capital to add to your roster, right to truly 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.760 evaluate Jordan Love, you would think, right, the betting man 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.960 would believe that. And from what I've heard, Ea, I 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:44.280 know they've had production converenation, productive conversations, but it seems 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.280 lately that both teams are kind of dug their heels 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.160 in and nobody's willing to blink. Essentially, it's the word 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.359 that comes to mind EA to me, if you're Green Bay, 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.080 and this is not even just being a homer, right, 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.200 Aaron Rodgers was going to retire, that means forty million 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.119 dollars is gonna be stuck on your books. Now, you 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.879 could have allocated that through multiple seasons, but at the 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.080 end of the day, you still would have had to 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.880 pay that bill. Right, the Jets were taking that bill 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.600 off your hand. Right, And if Aaron Rodgers decides to 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.200 change things up and show up when obviously he's in 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.560 programs started for Green Bay, you owe him sixty million dollars. 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.560 In the locker room where everybody thought that you guys 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.880 are moving forward with Jordan Love, you've already come out 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.240 publicly and said, you know, the only way Aaron Rodgers 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.280 is back with us, is things don't go the way 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.040 we want them to go. That was your president, Mark Murphy. 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.520 That's what he said, right. Bryan Goudakas said, Supposedly the 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.720 conversations weren't as fluid with him and Aaron Rodgers going 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:40.600 into the all season when he went into the dark hole. 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.520 You know, you know that he was supposed to call 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.320 us and didn't happen. Aaron Rodgers says, you know, after 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.680 coming out of the black hole, he's supposed to have 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.439 a conversation with him. When he came out of the 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.200 black hole, it was Jordan Love's gonna be our quarterback? 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.600 So like, what are we doing here hea end of 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:55.960 the day? Like I know, you know, the Jet fans 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.040 are tired of this. The Green Bay Packers fans have 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.760 to be tired of it. They think they're getting the 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.640 first like Joe Douglas is not given the Green Bay 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.440
