I like Frank Gorer. I'm 26 00:01:23,908 --> 00:01:27,268 Speaker 2: still looking for any person in the NFL media, anyone 27 00:01:27,308 --> 00:01:29,388 Speaker 2: to say any player is not a Hall of Famer 28 00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:32,508 Speaker 2: named any player, one person saying I don't think he's 29 00:01:32,508 --> 00:01:34,348 Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. I think I'm the only including 30 00:01:34,388 --> 00:01:36,428 Speaker 2: at this table. By the way, I think I'm the 31 00:01:36,468 --> 00:01:38,228 Speaker 2: only person in media who will go on record and 32 00:01:38,268 --> 00:01:45,068 Speaker 2: saying anybody is anything they don't. How about a little exclusivity, 33 00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:47,308 Speaker 2: just a little surefire. 34 00:01:46,828 --> 00:01:52,428 Speaker 5: A lot of surefire Hall of famer kind, all right, 35 00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:53,788 Speaker 5: I love Ray Gore. 36 00:01:53,788 --> 00:01:54,468 Speaker 2: It's not about that. 37 00:01:54,588 --> 00:01:56,468 Speaker 3: Maybe we're gonna get a Hall of Fame product out 38 00:01:56,508 --> 00:01:58,708 Speaker 3: of this draft class. Who knows time to league The 39 00:01:58,788 --> 00:02:03,388 Speaker 3: quarterback soak center stage on Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis. Caleb Williams, 40 00:02:03,468 --> 00:02:06,628 Speaker 3: jayde and Daniels Drake. They all chose to not work out, 41 00:02:06,708 --> 00:02:09,668 Speaker 3: so guys like Bo Nicks, Michael Pennix Junior, and JJ 42 00:02:09,748 --> 00:02:11,868 Speaker 3: McCarthy it was their time to shine on the field 43 00:02:11,868 --> 00:02:14,988 Speaker 3: at Lucas Oil Stadium and at times up in the 44 00:02:15,028 --> 00:02:18,028 Speaker 3: booth as well. Rich Eisen maybe pulled a Michigan Man 45 00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:20,308 Speaker 3: card and got JJ McCarthy, took him up to the 46 00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:24,628 Speaker 3: booth and talked with Eisen and DJ about the biggest 47 00:02:24,628 --> 00:02:27,268 Speaker 3: criticism that JJ McCarthy receives in his game. 48 00:02:28,988 --> 00:02:31,348 Speaker 6: What do you say to those who are like, who 49 00:02:31,468 --> 00:02:33,908 Speaker 6: look at your body of work at Michigan, go, well, 50 00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:35,788 Speaker 6: you didn't have to carry a team, and obviously you 51 00:02:35,828 --> 00:02:37,508 Speaker 6: might have to in the NFL. How do you respond 52 00:02:37,548 --> 00:02:37,748 Speaker 6: to that? 53 00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:39,788 Speaker 7: You know, based off the system I was placed him 54 00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:42,348 Speaker 7: being a pro style system, we're not dropping back fifty 55 00:02:42,388 --> 00:02:44,908 Speaker 7: times a game, so just naturally it's not going to 56 00:02:44,988 --> 00:02:46,988 Speaker 7: look like the same numbers as guys in the PAC 57 00:02:47,028 --> 00:02:49,548 Speaker 7: twelve guys in the SEC. But at the end of 58 00:02:49,588 --> 00:02:51,708 Speaker 7: the day, it's all about winning football games and that's 59 00:02:51,748 --> 00:02:53,988 Speaker 7: all I cared about. And you know, coach Moore had 60 00:02:54,028 --> 00:02:57,468 Speaker 7: this smash mouth mentality. We obviously had two amazing running backs, 61 00:02:57,508 --> 00:02:59,908 Speaker 7: an amazing offensive line every single time I was there, 62 00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:02,348 Speaker 7: And like you said before, we're getting six, seven, eight 63 00:03:02,428 --> 00:03:05,668 Speaker 7: yards of pop, So why wouldn't we keep doing what's working. 64 00:03:05,708 --> 00:03:08,028 Speaker 7: You know, it can't go broke taking a profit and 65 00:03:08,228 --> 00:03:09,948 Speaker 7: you know, at the end of the day, this is 66 00:03:09,948 --> 00:03:12,508 Speaker 7: another valuable lesson I learned on You have to rely 67 00:03:12,588 --> 00:03:14,508 Speaker 7: on the run game. You have to because it sets 68 00:03:14,548 --> 00:03:16,948 Speaker 7: up everything else. And you know, it worked for us, 69 00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:19,348 Speaker 7: and you know, I was very fortunate to be part 70 00:03:19,348 --> 00:03:21,028 Speaker 7: of such a special group. 71 00:03:22,508 --> 00:03:25,228 Speaker 3: Making a case for himself. JJ McCarthy is other things 72 00:03:25,228 --> 00:03:27,748 Speaker 3: we learned about the quarterback class. At the twenty twenty 73 00:03:27,748 --> 00:03:29,068 Speaker 3: first Scout in Combine, Peter. 74 00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:31,748 Speaker 5: McCarthy competed and I love that, and so did Michael 75 00:03:31,788 --> 00:03:34,868 Speaker 5: Pennix junior. Those guys competed. Now, JJ's interview there was 76 00:03:34,908 --> 00:03:37,508 Speaker 5: just part of the whole piece in that he interviewed 77 00:03:37,548 --> 00:03:39,668 Speaker 5: really well with teams. He comes in, he has dialed in. 78 00:03:39,748 --> 00:03:42,388 Speaker 5: I mean, this is like you talking about a pros 79 00:03:42,468 --> 00:03:44,788 Speaker 5: pro as far as saying the right things and knowing 80 00:03:44,788 --> 00:03:46,628 Speaker 5: how to get on the board. I was told by 81 00:03:46,668 --> 00:03:48,068 Speaker 5: one team that he got up on the board and 82 00:03:48,148 --> 00:03:50,228 Speaker 5: was able to dissect things that no other quarterback that 83 00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:53,228 Speaker 5: they met with could yesterday. So that tells you he's 84 00:03:53,268 --> 00:03:57,588 Speaker 5: got the mentals. My thought was, all right, he answered 85 00:03:57,588 --> 00:04:00,148 Speaker 5: that question, well, but this is going to haunt him 86 00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:02,428 Speaker 5: Against Penn State. They ran the ball thirty two straight 87 00:04:02,428 --> 00:04:05,468 Speaker 5: times without attempting a pass. That's like Jimmy Garoppolo in 88 00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:08,068 Speaker 5: that NFC Championship game where they blow out the Packers 89 00:04:08,068 --> 00:04:09,708 Speaker 5: and he only threw eight passes, and we held it 90 00:04:09,748 --> 00:04:12,508 Speaker 5: against Garoppolo, like, well, he only threw eight passes, does 91 00:04:12,588 --> 00:04:15,308 Speaker 5: JJ have the armstred? He threw the ball pretty well. 92 00:04:15,308 --> 00:04:17,308 Speaker 5: Now he missed a couple. I'm not gonna come in 93 00:04:17,308 --> 00:04:18,908 Speaker 5: here and sugarcoat it and tell you he was awesome. 94 00:04:18,948 --> 00:04:22,308 Speaker 5: He was fine. The part that I thought was interesting 95 00:04:22,348 --> 00:04:25,668 Speaker 5: is he weighed in and he was six two two twenty. 96 00:04:26,228 --> 00:04:29,548 Speaker 5: I think going in people thought six one two hundred 97 00:04:30,108 --> 00:04:33,028 Speaker 5: six one two oh five. So now you're talking six 98 00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:36,788 Speaker 5: two two twenty, has lost three times since high school 99 00:04:36,828 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 5: in his entire life, and can throw the ball fine, 100 00:04:40,188 --> 00:04:42,348 Speaker 5: and is amazing on the board, and is obviously a 101 00:04:42,428 --> 00:04:44,868 Speaker 5: leader and has done that with a bunch of alphas 102 00:04:44,908 --> 00:04:47,348 Speaker 5: at Michigan. It was cool to watch him. He was 103 00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:50,628 Speaker 5: celebratory for everybody at the combine. If you see Worthy's forty, 104 00:04:50,788 --> 00:04:53,508 Speaker 5: it's JJ McCarthy running down and celebrating with him first. Like, 105 00:04:53,588 --> 00:04:56,308 Speaker 5: I think he had a really really good week. Doesn't 106 00:04:56,308 --> 00:04:58,708 Speaker 5: make him a surefire top ten pick. I don't know 107 00:04:58,748 --> 00:05:01,108 Speaker 5: if he did anything that's gonna say yes, put the 108 00:05:01,188 --> 00:05:01,868 Speaker 5: card right now. 109 00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:03,788 Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing we're not talking of course he 110 00:05:03,788 --> 00:05:05,348 Speaker 2: should be draft didn go on and hopefully have a 111 00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:07,828 Speaker 2: great career. We're talking about him going to the top ten. 112 00:05:08,548 --> 00:05:11,708 Speaker 2: And look, we're in an era of phenoms and freaks 113 00:05:11,708 --> 00:05:14,988 Speaker 2: physically athletically. I kind of want some of that. Thirty 114 00:05:15,028 --> 00:05:17,308 Speaker 2: two straight times. Not his fault. Here's not calling the plays. 115 00:05:17,348 --> 00:05:19,308 Speaker 2: But I think he's in danger. If there's a comp 116 00:05:19,588 --> 00:05:22,028 Speaker 2: that jumps to mine and it's it's AJ McCarron, and 117 00:05:22,068 --> 00:05:24,428 Speaker 2: it's a guy who's a winner and winner and winner 118 00:05:24,468 --> 00:05:26,588 Speaker 2: and is almost exactly the same size about six two, 119 00:05:26,588 --> 00:05:29,108 Speaker 2: two fifteen, two twenty, And AJ McCahon did not go 120 00:05:29,148 --> 00:05:30,508 Speaker 2: on to win super Bowls. He had a long career 121 00:05:30,508 --> 00:05:32,068 Speaker 2: and we love him and everything, but that's not a 122 00:05:32,068 --> 00:05:34,148 Speaker 2: top ten pick. You fall in love with a guy 123 00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:36,268 Speaker 2: who wins, and there's this old fashioned thing about winning. 124 00:05:36,348 --> 00:05:39,588 Speaker 2: But like, I don't really remember much of substance about 125 00:05:39,588 --> 00:05:41,348 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes's college career. I know he put up a 126 00:05:41,348 --> 00:05:43,548 Speaker 2: lot of numbers Josh Allen's college career, and no one 127 00:05:43,588 --> 00:05:46,828 Speaker 2: really saw, Like I don't really care that much that 128 00:05:46,908 --> 00:05:48,188 Speaker 2: you won. I really don't. 129 00:05:48,228 --> 00:05:49,668 Speaker 5: As a quarterback, it's I don't. 130 00:05:49,748 --> 00:05:51,548 Speaker 2: It's fine, I get it. I don't think it's irrelevant. 131 00:05:51,548 --> 00:05:53,628 Speaker 2: But like with those guys on the board in top ten, 132 00:05:53,668 --> 00:05:55,348 Speaker 2: and I'm looking at the quarterback field in the NFL 133 00:05:55,428 --> 00:05:57,788 Speaker 2: right now, I'm like, man, he won it. Just give 134 00:05:57,828 --> 00:05:58,748 Speaker 2: me someone who's do you think? 135 00:05:59,308 --> 00:06:01,308 Speaker 4: Do you think it matters how you win in college? 136 00:06:01,388 --> 00:06:03,708 Speaker 4: Took the play of life for JJ mccarlo a J 137 00:06:03,788 --> 00:06:06,588 Speaker 4: mccawen when he's guys have first round draft picks around them, 138 00:06:06,668 --> 00:06:08,828 Speaker 4: or for JJ McCarthy, you're running a ball one hundred 139 00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:09,308 Speaker 4: times Jamie. 140 00:06:09,348 --> 00:06:11,588 Speaker 5: What was the number eighteen different players from Michigan were 141 00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:14,228 Speaker 5: at the combo? Yes, it was the highest eighteen, highest ever. 142 00:06:14,388 --> 00:06:17,308 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's to crtify. I hate that, Yeah, guy, and 143 00:06:17,348 --> 00:06:20,748 Speaker 2: I really respect what he did. Top ten pick rare, rare. 144 00:06:20,908 --> 00:06:21,428 Speaker 5: Definitely. 145 00:06:21,628 --> 00:06:23,428 Speaker 4: I was gonna talk about Joe Milton because to me, 146 00:06:23,588 --> 00:06:25,748 Speaker 4: like somebody like him, you go into combine where you're 147 00:06:25,748 --> 00:06:27,708 Speaker 4: not expected to beat these top guys, and you put 148 00:06:27,748 --> 00:06:29,948 Speaker 4: up some of these crazy throwing numbers out far you throw, 149 00:06:29,988 --> 00:06:31,068 Speaker 4: how hard you throw it. 150 00:06:31,068 --> 00:06:32,108 Speaker 2: It was so impressive. 151 00:06:32,108 --> 00:06:34,948 Speaker 4: And Peter you said earlier people killed you for posting 152 00:06:34,988 --> 00:06:37,268 Speaker 4: his seventy yard throw because like, oh, who cares. But 153 00:06:37,348 --> 00:06:40,108 Speaker 4: to me, like that's a lot of what the combine is. 154 00:06:40,148 --> 00:06:43,148 Speaker 4: Because we're looking at all these quarterbacks and you talked 155 00:06:43,148 --> 00:06:43,988 Speaker 4: about everybody's a. 156 00:06:43,908 --> 00:06:45,628 Speaker 5: Short so file Hall of Famer. 157 00:06:45,828 --> 00:06:49,508 Speaker 4: Nobody really criticized anybody. You said, JJ miss a few throws, 158 00:06:49,508 --> 00:06:51,908 Speaker 4: but Michael Pennix did great, Both Knicks did great. Seemed 159 00:06:51,908 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 4: like every quarterback that went out there and threw the ball, 160 00:06:54,468 --> 00:06:56,348 Speaker 4: we talk about how great of a pastor they were 161 00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:57,908 Speaker 4: and how great they looked, and the T shirt and 162 00:06:57,908 --> 00:07:00,108 Speaker 4: the shorts. The three guys that are gonna go up 163 00:07:00,148 --> 00:07:02,988 Speaker 4: the board first, probably none of those guys even competed. 164 00:07:03,068 --> 00:07:04,948 Speaker 4: So I look at this and it's like, it's fun 165 00:07:05,068 --> 00:07:06,988 Speaker 4: to talk about, and it's fascinating for these guys to 166 00:07:06,988 --> 00:07:09,068 Speaker 4: get out there, especially to me, like a Michael Pennick 167 00:07:09,148 --> 00:07:11,388 Speaker 4: junior and show what you can do. He's already at 168 00:07:11,428 --> 00:07:14,108 Speaker 4: the top, though, So I look at it and you're 169 00:07:14,188 --> 00:07:16,828 Speaker 4: missing three of the guys that are the guys. But 170 00:07:16,868 --> 00:07:18,828 Speaker 4: then we criticize a guy like Joe Melon because he 171 00:07:18,828 --> 00:07:21,228 Speaker 4: threw the ball seventy yards, But that's their opportunity when 172 00:07:21,228 --> 00:07:22,948 Speaker 4: I'm not as high as these other guys, I have 173 00:07:23,028 --> 00:07:25,508 Speaker 4: to showcase something to try to get in that conversation. 174 00:07:25,628 --> 00:07:28,428 Speaker 3: Another really polarizing name I found, at least on social media, 175 00:07:28,428 --> 00:07:30,428 Speaker 3: and the reaction to his workout was bo Nicks coming 176 00:07:30,428 --> 00:07:31,588 Speaker 3: out of the weekend. But I don't know if it's 177 00:07:31,588 --> 00:07:34,828 Speaker 3: because the guy played sixty one college football games. Is 178 00:07:34,868 --> 00:07:37,148 Speaker 3: it almost like too much of a good thing or 179 00:07:37,188 --> 00:07:39,268 Speaker 3: getting on I'm like, oh, yeah, these routes are fine, 180 00:07:39,268 --> 00:07:41,668 Speaker 3: but just wait until he's like shorthanding a screen pass. 181 00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:44,028 Speaker 3: It's like, don't blame the guy for the playbook that 182 00:07:44,108 --> 00:07:46,708 Speaker 3: he was operating within. And he did well at Oregon 183 00:07:46,748 --> 00:07:49,548 Speaker 3: and he did find it at Auburn. And the growth 184 00:07:49,548 --> 00:07:51,948 Speaker 3: in the development that this twenty four year old man 185 00:07:52,028 --> 00:07:54,708 Speaker 3: is gonna have and arrive with and experience wise from 186 00:07:54,748 --> 00:07:58,268 Speaker 3: the NCAA to the NFL, I think is invaluable. He 187 00:07:58,308 --> 00:07:59,868 Speaker 3: had a good day, same with kind of same with 188 00:07:59,948 --> 00:08:00,628 Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy. 189 00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:01,428 Speaker 4: He made good. 190 00:08:01,268 --> 00:08:03,748 Speaker 3: Throws, he missed some, but he had a really good 191 00:08:03,748 --> 00:08:06,428 Speaker 3: presence about him too. And the way people were kind 192 00:08:06,428 --> 00:08:08,788 Speaker 3: of ripping bo Nicks at times, it felt like you 193 00:08:08,868 --> 00:08:10,908 Speaker 3: go to click on that person's profile, it's like, oh, 194 00:08:11,068 --> 00:08:13,028 Speaker 3: you are an Aubard fan or Organ fan, and you 195 00:08:13,108 --> 00:08:14,668 Speaker 3: just maybe didn't like the fact that he lost a 196 00:08:14,668 --> 00:08:16,308 Speaker 3: game or two when you didn't want it. But I 197 00:08:16,308 --> 00:08:18,668 Speaker 3: thought bon Nix handled himself well too, Peter, And he 198 00:08:18,948 --> 00:08:20,788 Speaker 3: could be a late round or a late first round 199 00:08:20,788 --> 00:08:21,068 Speaker 3: guy too. 200 00:08:21,148 --> 00:08:23,068 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he did the Senior Bowl, which everyone loves. 201 00:08:23,068 --> 00:08:24,828 Speaker 5: Because as far as a competitor, I don't think late round. 202 00:08:24,828 --> 00:08:26,628 Speaker 5: I think bo Nix is a Day two pick. Like 203 00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:28,788 Speaker 5: I think he's a guy that goes in the second, third, 204 00:08:28,828 --> 00:08:31,628 Speaker 5: or fourth round. You know, McCarthy, we go back to him. 205 00:08:31,748 --> 00:08:35,748 Speaker 5: It's like Giants have the sixth pick, Daniel Jones has 206 00:08:35,788 --> 00:08:37,948 Speaker 5: one more year to prove it, Like that's gonna be 207 00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:41,868 Speaker 5: a real Is that too rich? Six overall for McCarthy. 208 00:08:42,148 --> 00:08:43,868 Speaker 2: I've just heard so many people for so many years, 209 00:08:44,108 --> 00:08:45,708 Speaker 2: this young man, this young man, this young man, he's 210 00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:48,068 Speaker 2: a winner. I've heard about Age McCarron and Colet McCoy. 211 00:08:48,068 --> 00:08:50,748 Speaker 2: I've heard about t Bow. I don't like that when 212 00:08:50,788 --> 00:08:52,668 Speaker 2: it comes the first thing of stays he's a winner. 213 00:08:52,788 --> 00:08:54,428 Speaker 2: I understand there's a lot of like. 214 00:08:54,908 --> 00:08:56,988 Speaker 5: Sixth overall, how about Atlanta eight? 215 00:08:57,508 --> 00:08:57,628 Speaker 8: Hi? 216 00:08:57,868 --> 00:08:59,788 Speaker 2: Man, it's really high. I don't want that big of 217 00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:00,908 Speaker 2: a doubt that guy. 218 00:09:01,148 --> 00:09:04,828 Speaker 5: So the overall thought is that in some or be 219 00:09:04,828 --> 00:09:07,108 Speaker 5: Caleb one, and then May and Daniels, they'll all be 220 00:09:07,148 --> 00:09:09,348 Speaker 5: gone in the top five. Then it's just like great 221 00:09:09,388 --> 00:09:14,548 Speaker 5: unknown for McCarthy, Nicks, Pennix, all those guys, and it's 222 00:09:14,748 --> 00:09:17,308 Speaker 5: Daniel Jeremiah suggest we could have five or six in 223 00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:19,868 Speaker 5: the first round, like they argued, like maybe Nick SLINKs 224 00:09:19,868 --> 00:09:21,908 Speaker 5: into the first round. McCarthy to, we might be the 225 00:09:21,988 --> 00:09:24,988 Speaker 5: most fascinating because of the chicken in the egg, amazing winner, 226 00:09:25,108 --> 00:09:28,228 Speaker 5: amazing decorated career as an individual. Is he they one 227 00:09:28,308 --> 00:09:29,988 Speaker 5: that's going to go into a new room and take 228 00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:32,228 Speaker 5: a team and lift them and poist a Lombardy? Well, 229 00:09:32,308 --> 00:09:32,948 Speaker 5: does anyone know. 230 00:09:33,028 --> 00:09:35,428 Speaker 3: It's interesting to have that many guys this year that 231 00:09:35,468 --> 00:09:37,588 Speaker 3: are available who are good quality prospects. And then the 232 00:09:37,668 --> 00:09:40,308 Speaker 3: number of teams that need quarterbacks as well, just with 233 00:09:40,348 --> 00:09:43,028 Speaker 3: the divisions. Even you're looking at Atlanta, you're looking at 234 00:09:43,068 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay they need a guy too, and we'll see 235 00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:47,748 Speaker 3: where it goes there, Mike, or follow our NFL network 236 00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:50,308 Speaker 3: inside are joining us now breaking news for us this morning, 237 00:09:50,348 --> 00:09:52,548 Speaker 3: perhaps getting a jumpstart on free agency frenzy. 238 00:09:52,908 --> 00:09:56,028 Speaker 9: Yeah, Jamie, Pro Bowl wide receiver, All Pro wide receiver, 239 00:09:56,188 --> 00:09:58,868 Speaker 9: maybe even Hall of Fame wide receiver. Mike Evans and 240 00:09:58,908 --> 00:10:01,708 Speaker 9: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a 241 00:10:01,788 --> 00:10:05,108 Speaker 9: two year contract to avoid free agent. This according to 242 00:10:05,108 --> 00:10:09,188 Speaker 9: his agent, Derek Gilmore of Day one Sports and Entertainment Now. 243 00:10:09,188 --> 00:10:12,228 Speaker 9: The buzz in Indianapolis during the scouting combine was that 244 00:10:12,268 --> 00:10:14,188 Speaker 9: there were going to be a bunch of teams that 245 00:10:14,228 --> 00:10:17,668 Speaker 9: were ready to pounce on Evans in free agency and 246 00:10:17,748 --> 00:10:20,788 Speaker 9: offer him a boatload of money. The Buccaneers surely knew that, 247 00:10:21,308 --> 00:10:24,508 Speaker 9: so they stepped up financially in recent days to get 248 00:10:24,508 --> 00:10:27,868 Speaker 9: this thing done about a week ahead of the negotiating 249 00:10:27,908 --> 00:10:30,508 Speaker 9: period where Evans could have talked to some other teams. 250 00:10:30,508 --> 00:10:32,708 Speaker 9: He is going to be paid, I'm told, amongst the 251 00:10:32,748 --> 00:10:35,148 Speaker 9: top wide receivers in the NFL. 252 00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:37,268 Speaker 2: It is very rare to see that for a player. 253 00:10:36,988 --> 00:10:39,348 Speaker 9: Who on opening Day this year will be thirty one 254 00:10:39,548 --> 00:10:41,948 Speaker 9: years old. But listen, he's been in the league for 255 00:10:41,948 --> 00:10:45,068 Speaker 9: ten years, all with Tampa Bay, one thousand yards in 256 00:10:45,148 --> 00:10:48,788 Speaker 9: each of those seasons, so he continues to pad that resume, 257 00:10:48,988 --> 00:10:51,908 Speaker 9: perhaps for canton one day with the team that drafted 258 00:10:51,988 --> 00:10:56,228 Speaker 9: him seventh overall in twenty fourteen, he wanted to continue. 259 00:10:55,748 --> 00:10:56,708 Speaker 2: To be a buccaneer. 260 00:10:56,748 --> 00:10:58,548 Speaker 9: Like I said, Jamie, there were other teams that would 261 00:10:58,548 --> 00:11:01,668 Speaker 9: have been interested in prying him away from Tampa. And 262 00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:03,948 Speaker 9: speaking of players that teams might want to pry away 263 00:11:03,948 --> 00:11:07,748 Speaker 9: from Tampa, this will surely be incentive for Baker Mayfield 264 00:11:07,788 --> 00:11:10,028 Speaker 9: to return to Tampa Bay if the sides can come 265 00:11:10,068 --> 00:11:13,348 Speaker 9: together on that deal. But for now, Mike Evans back 266 00:11:13,388 --> 00:11:16,268 Speaker 9: in Tampa for season eleven and twelve. 267 00:11:16,348 --> 00:11:19,148 Speaker 3: Jimmie, Mike g thank you for kicking off free agency 268 00:11:19,188 --> 00:11:21,828 Speaker 3: frenzy in style with that one. It is a good point. 269 00:11:21,868 --> 00:11:24,908 Speaker 3: We saw the fruitful product of that friendship between Baker 270 00:11:24,988 --> 00:11:27,788 Speaker 3: Mayfield and Mike Evans last season, so you would hope, 271 00:11:27,868 --> 00:11:29,948 Speaker 3: or at least the Bucks would that that would continue. 272 00:11:29,948 --> 00:11:32,588 Speaker 3: On Peter, your thoughts immediately on Mike Evans two more years? 273 00:11:32,948 --> 00:11:35,308 Speaker 5: Can be a fan for a second. Yeah, I love this. 274 00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:37,828 Speaker 5: I want Mike Evans the buccaneer. I wanted to go 275 00:11:37,868 --> 00:11:39,588 Speaker 5: wire to wire with the bucket serves. He is the 276 00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:42,108 Speaker 5: ultimate buccaneer. I'm gonna give you. This is something about 277 00:11:42,148 --> 00:11:44,788 Speaker 5: a relationship. Though Derek Gilmore, the agent, has been with 278 00:11:44,868 --> 00:11:48,908 Speaker 5: Mike Evans his entire career and the same guys, Jason Light. 279 00:11:48,948 --> 00:11:51,508 Speaker 5: This was Jason Light's first ever draft pick was Mike Evans, 280 00:11:51,588 --> 00:11:54,908 Speaker 5: it was his first first round pick. Mike Greenberg, John Spytech, 281 00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,748 Speaker 5: that whole front office has been there the entire way. 282 00:11:56,748 --> 00:11:58,308 Speaker 5: I feel like this is one of those deals where like, 283 00:11:58,348 --> 00:12:00,468 Speaker 5: let's just get in a room at the combine and 284 00:12:00,548 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 5: let's just figure it out. We know this is what's right. 285 00:12:03,028 --> 00:12:07,428 Speaker 5: Let's get it done. Mike's point two years, Mike Evans 286 00:12:07,468 --> 00:12:08,988 Speaker 5: is gonna make a lot of money, as he should 287 00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:11,228 Speaker 5: he and maybe his best year as a pro last year, guys, 288 00:12:11,388 --> 00:12:13,428 Speaker 5: and that was a Baker Mayfield as a quarterback for 289 00:12:13,468 --> 00:12:16,308 Speaker 5: the first time in hit pro career. I'm just elated 290 00:12:16,388 --> 00:12:17,948 Speaker 5: right now. I'm gonna late it for Tampa Bay. I'm 291 00:12:17,948 --> 00:12:20,028 Speaker 5: gonna lad for the folks in that building, and I'm 292 00:12:20,028 --> 00:12:21,708 Speaker 5: related for Mike Evans. I think it's really cool when 293 00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:23,548 Speaker 5: a player gets to go wired to wire with one team. 294 00:12:23,708 --> 00:12:25,828 Speaker 4: So cool to see. And you said it, he's been 295 00:12:25,948 --> 00:12:29,028 Speaker 4: so good for the Buccaneers, and I'm fascinated. Once you 296 00:12:29,028 --> 00:12:30,628 Speaker 4: get past the fan parts, just say, all right, is 297 00:12:30,628 --> 00:12:33,148 Speaker 4: Baker going to be next? Because Mike Evans returning. There 298 00:12:33,188 --> 00:12:34,588 Speaker 4: are reports that he wanted to go play with the 299 00:12:34,668 --> 00:12:37,148 Speaker 4: league quarterback and all of those things. He needs a quarterback, 300 00:12:37,188 --> 00:12:38,908 Speaker 4: So if Baker's not going to be there, there's a 301 00:12:38,948 --> 00:12:41,428 Speaker 4: lot of question marks that's going to be surrounding Tampa Bay. 302 00:12:41,428 --> 00:12:43,268 Speaker 4: I've gotten a chance to play against Mike Evans before. 303 00:12:43,268 --> 00:12:43,868 Speaker 2: It is not fun. 304 00:12:43,988 --> 00:12:46,508 Speaker 4: This guy is physical. At Delana scrimmage, he can run 305 00:12:46,548 --> 00:12:48,748 Speaker 4: by you, he can run every route in between. So 306 00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:51,428 Speaker 4: he is an absolute specimen. So seeing him get that 307 00:12:51,548 --> 00:12:53,708 Speaker 4: money at this point in his career is so fun 308 00:12:53,748 --> 00:12:55,748 Speaker 4: to watch because he's been one of the best wide 309 00:12:55,748 --> 00:12:57,868 Speaker 4: receivers in the NFL since he's first. 310 00:12:57,788 --> 00:12:59,668 Speaker 2: Joined the wired a Wire thing. It reminds me of 311 00:12:59,708 --> 00:13:02,228 Speaker 2: Lair for Shald, you know, same type of player. Productive. 312 00:13:02,268 --> 00:13:04,188 Speaker 2: I got a hot take coming in. If he finishes 313 00:13:04,228 --> 00:13:07,108 Speaker 2: out his career and he does eleven year, eleven year, 314 00:13:07,188 --> 00:13:09,308 Speaker 2: twelve and every year is one thousand yards and he 315 00:13:09,348 --> 00:13:12,348 Speaker 2: retires a buccaneer. I think he is in the conversation 316 00:13:12,588 --> 00:13:15,668 Speaker 2: maybe leading it as greatest buccaneer ever. And I love 317 00:13:16,188 --> 00:13:18,068 Speaker 2: I Love Brooks and Lynch and all those Hall of 318 00:13:18,068 --> 00:13:21,508 Speaker 2: Fame days and Ronnie all those guys fantastic Roy Shelman. 319 00:13:22,148 --> 00:13:24,468 Speaker 2: He did it longer, he did it in offense in 320 00:13:24,548 --> 00:13:27,708 Speaker 2: a different time. Like he's gonna be right sitting there, 321 00:13:27,788 --> 00:13:29,948 Speaker 2: as is Mike Evans, the greatest buccaneer ever. 322 00:13:30,148 --> 00:13:32,548 Speaker 4: I'm like, when you start going down the list of 323 00:13:32,588 --> 00:13:35,748 Speaker 4: his quarterbacks too, I really like it from Josh Freeman 324 00:13:35,828 --> 00:13:38,108 Speaker 4: and Mike Glennon and all of these guys. Yes, Tom 325 00:13:38,148 --> 00:13:40,268 Speaker 4: Brady big, but like it's not like he was just 326 00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,188 Speaker 4: lined up where he just had a Hall of fame 327 00:13:42,228 --> 00:13:42,948 Speaker 4: with tossing on the ball. 328 00:13:43,108 --> 00:13:44,468 Speaker 2: I love those. He's gonna go to the Hall of fame. 329 00:13:44,508 --> 00:13:45,868 Speaker 2: I think if he retired now, he'd go to the 330 00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:47,188 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. Everybody goes to the Hall of Fame 331 00:13:47,228 --> 00:13:49,828 Speaker 2: these days, but two more years, Mike Evans goes deservedly. 332 00:13:50,068 --> 00:13:51,748 Speaker 2: And I'll say it again, no matter how much money 333 00:13:51,788 --> 00:13:53,228 Speaker 2: he makes from this, he should make more money on 334 00:13:53,268 --> 00:13:55,028 Speaker 2: the book than he writes when he retires. On the 335 00:13:55,068 --> 00:14:01,708 Speaker 2: quarterback that he's played with, Manzell, Jamis Fitzpatrick, Brady Baker, 336 00:14:01,748 --> 00:14:03,988 Speaker 2: and we're not even talking about those Josh Freeman and 337 00:14:04,028 --> 00:14:05,948 Speaker 2: glenn types. And whoever the hell he plays with next season, 338 00:14:05,948 --> 00:14:08,148 Speaker 2: if it's not Baker, nobody has played with a crew 339 00:14:08,188 --> 00:14:10,348 Speaker 2: of quarterbacks like that, and he never says squat, you 340 00:14:10,388 --> 00:14:12,748 Speaker 2: never mouth saw one of my favorite players in the league. 341 00:14:12,828 --> 00:14:14,268 Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be talking about him. Is the 342 00:14:14,268 --> 00:14:16,628 Speaker 2: greatest buccaneer ever. When he's done, I take I love 343 00:14:16,668 --> 00:14:19,068 Speaker 2: your Sap and Derek and Lych, I love you Mike Evans. 344 00:14:19,148 --> 00:14:21,188 Speaker 3: I was a little stressed last September when I think 345 00:14:21,188 --> 00:14:23,148 Speaker 3: we were two weeks into the season and it came 346 00:14:23,188 --> 00:14:25,428 Speaker 3: out that like, the talks were done, and I think 347 00:14:25,468 --> 00:14:27,548 Speaker 3: we get a little drunk at times. I'm like, Oh, 348 00:14:27,548 --> 00:14:29,508 Speaker 3: wouldn't it be fun to see Mike Evans really get 349 00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:31,268 Speaker 3: paid and go somewhere else. But then it makes you 350 00:14:31,348 --> 00:14:33,028 Speaker 3: kind of sad that they ended up breaking up with 351 00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:34,908 Speaker 3: the team that you loved him so much with. So 352 00:14:35,068 --> 00:14:38,188 Speaker 3: to set this off and to avoid free agency and 353 00:14:38,268 --> 00:14:40,708 Speaker 3: to not have it be awkward and not have it prolonged, 354 00:14:40,948 --> 00:14:43,508 Speaker 3: I really like it. It makes the Bake Baker Mayfield 355 00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:46,948 Speaker 3: conversation very interesting because those two clearly had a connection, 356 00:14:47,348 --> 00:14:50,108 Speaker 3: and you wonder how much Tampa Bay if they are 357 00:14:50,188 --> 00:14:52,228 Speaker 3: far off with wanting what they want to pay Baker 358 00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:54,908 Speaker 3: versus what they what he wants. What is the enticement 359 00:14:54,908 --> 00:14:57,228 Speaker 3: there for being able to throw it to Mike Evans. 360 00:14:57,348 --> 00:14:59,308 Speaker 2: It is pretty rare for a team to win a 361 00:14:59,348 --> 00:15:02,508 Speaker 2: playoff game and then change quarterbacks willingly the next year. 362 00:15:02,708 --> 00:15:05,508 Speaker 2: Doesn't happen. Yeah, you know what I'm so here's around 363 00:15:05,548 --> 00:15:08,428 Speaker 2: and plays well divisionally, very well through an interception. They 364 00:15:08,428 --> 00:15:09,908 Speaker 2: had a game against the Lions, but they were right there. 365 00:15:09,948 --> 00:15:12,028 Speaker 5: I can tell you this Tampa just knowing those guys. 366 00:15:12,068 --> 00:15:14,548 Speaker 5: They were spinning plates during the combat week. Because it's 367 00:15:14,588 --> 00:15:17,548 Speaker 5: not only Evans and Baker. You also have Antoine Winfield 368 00:15:17,628 --> 00:15:20,708 Speaker 5: junior franchise Tager you give him the money. You also 369 00:15:20,748 --> 00:15:23,308 Speaker 5: have Levonte David. You also have Devin White. There's a 370 00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:26,188 Speaker 5: bunch of guys at Tampa that are parts of the core. 371 00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:29,148 Speaker 5: And getting Mike Evans done before free agency huge. 372 00:15:29,268 --> 00:15:31,548 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at Mike Garrofolo's tweet. He has 373 00:15:31,588 --> 00:15:34,108 Speaker 3: the information just on the two extra years that Mike 374 00:15:34,148 --> 00:15:36,428 Speaker 3: Evans is going to get playing with Tampa Bay. It's 375 00:15:36,468 --> 00:15:40,748 Speaker 3: fifty two million, massive payday. He's gonna be thirty one 376 00:15:40,908 --> 00:15:43,108 Speaker 3: come the start of next season. But like he's on 377 00:15:43,148 --> 00:15:44,908 Speaker 3: a list of Jerry Rice and Randy Moss. When it 378 00:15:44,908 --> 00:15:47,708 Speaker 3: comes one thousand plus receiving yard season, so why not 379 00:15:47,868 --> 00:15:51,548 Speaker 3: pay him that. Speaking of spinning plates, apparently the Eagles 380 00:15:51,548 --> 00:15:52,988 Speaker 3: are going to hold a press conference latter today for 381 00:15:53,068 --> 00:15:55,828 Speaker 3: Jason Kelcey. Eagles have a lot of this offseason, so 382 00:15:55,868 --> 00:15:58,028 Speaker 3: maybe the Eagles get an answer in terms of what 383 00:15:58,068 --> 00:15:58,508 Speaker 3: they have to. 384 00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:00,748 Speaker 5: Be interesting that the Eagles are hosting it. It's not 385 00:16:00,868 --> 00:16:03,828 Speaker 5: Kelsey like doing something from the Eagle. I got an 386 00:16:03,868 --> 00:16:06,428 Speaker 5: update from the PR guy saying, Hey, one o'clock, Jason's 387 00:16:06,428 --> 00:16:07,108 Speaker 5: got a press conners. 388 00:16:07,108 --> 00:16:09,308 Speaker 2: I don't know if that means especially he's retiring or is. 389 00:16:09,228 --> 00:16:11,148 Speaker 5: It the other way where it's like he's still you 390 00:16:11,188 --> 00:16:11,668 Speaker 5: don't have the. 391 00:16:11,668 --> 00:16:13,948 Speaker 2: Rest conference and I'm coming back.

Would you rather have Kirk Cousins 415 00:17:09,108 --> 00:17:11,028 Speaker 2: or Baker Mayfield as your quarterback next year? You might 416 00:17:11,028 --> 00:17:12,628 Speaker 2: be able to have either. You might or maybe he 417 00:17:12,628 --> 00:17:15,388 Speaker 2: just stays in Minnesota. Peter's got takes.

It's not you 431 00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,388 Speaker 2: can't possibly do the awesome. 432 00:18:04,948 --> 00:18:07,948 Speaker 3: Here's a look at Greg Rosenthal's top free agents heading 433 00:18:07,988 --> 00:18:11,788 Speaker 3: into next week. Look at the two first names on 434 00:18:11,788 --> 00:18:14,108 Speaker 3: that board, and Chris Jones and everything he went through 435 00:18:14,108 --> 00:18:16,228 Speaker 3: this last offseason and really the beginning of the season, 436 00:18:16,388 --> 00:18:19,028 Speaker 3: but also the quarterback situation with Kirk Cousins. A lot 437 00:18:19,028 --> 00:18:21,468 Speaker 3: of people say he holds the cards for how this 438 00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:24,188 Speaker 3: merry go round might go when it comes to quarterbacks, 439 00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:28,028 Speaker 3: free agents, and the according draft picks. Peter, coming from 440 00:18:28,068 --> 00:18:31,268 Speaker 3: Indianapolis last weekend talking to coaches and gms, what we 441 00:18:31,308 --> 00:18:33,788 Speaker 3: hear specifically about the Vikings quarterback I. 442 00:18:33,788 --> 00:18:35,588 Speaker 5: Like to say that the combine is an art and 443 00:18:35,628 --> 00:18:37,588 Speaker 5: a science, Jamie, you saw a little bit of it. 444 00:18:37,948 --> 00:18:40,788 Speaker 5: The sciences. The stuff on the field, it's the next gen. 445 00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:43,308 Speaker 5: Stats is the forties. The art is all the gossip 446 00:18:43,468 --> 00:18:45,908 Speaker 5: off the field, and you're working the rooms and you're 447 00:18:45,908 --> 00:18:48,228 Speaker 5: talking a different coach at GMS and oh wait, there's 448 00:18:48,268 --> 00:18:49,588 Speaker 5: this guy. Oh this guy used to work with this 449 00:18:49,628 --> 00:18:52,108 Speaker 5: guy who knows this guy. You start to put together, 450 00:18:53,188 --> 00:18:55,988 Speaker 5: you know, some stuff. And I came into the combine thinking, 451 00:18:56,028 --> 00:18:59,148 Speaker 5: there's no way the Minnesota Vikings are letting Kirk Cousins 452 00:18:59,268 --> 00:19:02,988 Speaker 5: walk out that door. I'm leaving the combine saying there 453 00:19:03,068 --> 00:19:05,828 Speaker 5: is a way the Minnesota Vikings are going to have 454 00:19:05,908 --> 00:19:09,308 Speaker 5: to let Kirk Cousins walk out that door. I think 455 00:19:09,388 --> 00:19:12,948 Speaker 5: kirk Cousins wants from what I gather, to be paid handsomely. 456 00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:16,908 Speaker 5: He wants his guaranteed money, and I'm not sure Minnesota 457 00:19:16,988 --> 00:19:18,908 Speaker 5: is going to end up giving him all that cash. 458 00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:21,908 Speaker 5: That with the words that I'm hearing is being tossed about, 459 00:19:21,948 --> 00:19:23,788 Speaker 5: and I'm not the only one saying it. Here was 460 00:19:23,868 --> 00:19:27,308 Speaker 5: an interesting response when asked on the broadcast about kirk 461 00:19:27,348 --> 00:19:31,348 Speaker 5: Cousins from his head coach, who obviously loves him. Kevin O'Connell. 462 00:19:32,828 --> 00:19:34,788 Speaker 8: I know Kirk, you know where he's at in this 463 00:19:34,828 --> 00:19:37,348 Speaker 8: whole process. He's he's earned the right to be a 464 00:19:37,348 --> 00:19:40,748 Speaker 8: free agent, and you know, he's played really good football. 465 00:19:40,788 --> 00:19:43,748 Speaker 8: I think he's I think he's you know, eighteen and 466 00:19:43,828 --> 00:19:46,388 Speaker 8: seven whatever his record is since since I arrived in 467 00:19:47,748 --> 00:19:50,228 Speaker 8: Minnesota coaching him, and I've had a blast coaching him. 468 00:19:50,228 --> 00:19:52,788 Speaker 8: His fit in our offense where we've kind of taken 469 00:19:52,828 --> 00:19:56,268 Speaker 8: our version of the offense too, with guys like Jordan 470 00:19:56,388 --> 00:19:59,228 Speaker 8: and Justin and TJ. I know Kirk's going to go 471 00:19:59,268 --> 00:20:02,628 Speaker 8: through a full process. He's a processed guy, and you know, 472 00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:05,508 Speaker 8: hopefully we continue to be a strong part in that 473 00:20:05,628 --> 00:20:08,748 Speaker 8: process and we figure out a way to keep Minnesota Viking. 474 00:20:08,788 --> 00:20:11,028 Speaker 8: But my expectation is we're not going to be the 475 00:20:11,028 --> 00:20:13,668 Speaker 8: only ones that would like Kirk Cousins to be the 476 00:20:13,748 --> 00:20:15,748 Speaker 8: quarterback of our team in twenty twenty four. 477 00:20:16,908 --> 00:20:20,508 Speaker 5: There's a lot of chatter on the web, and I'll 478 00:20:20,508 --> 00:20:22,908 Speaker 5: start with the internet, which doesn't me have much accuracy 479 00:20:22,948 --> 00:20:25,588 Speaker 5: that Atlanta is a team that would be interested. And 480 00:20:25,668 --> 00:20:29,148 Speaker 5: you think about Zach Robinson, who's the new offensive coordinator. 481 00:20:29,188 --> 00:20:31,828 Speaker 5: He's got a history with Kevin O'Connell. They were together 482 00:20:31,908 --> 00:20:33,988 Speaker 5: with the Rams. You've got Rahie Morris who was with 483 00:20:34,188 --> 00:20:36,628 Speaker 5: Washington when Kirk Cousins was there. And then you think 484 00:20:36,628 --> 00:20:39,868 Speaker 5: about Arthur Blank, who's in his eighties and is enough 485 00:20:39,868 --> 00:20:42,628 Speaker 5: with being the team that's going to be good next year. 486 00:20:43,428 --> 00:20:45,348 Speaker 5: Justin Fields was a lot of buzzs to Atlanta going 487 00:20:45,388 --> 00:20:47,388 Speaker 5: into the combine because of all the young talent. It 488 00:20:47,508 --> 00:20:50,828 Speaker 5: sounds like Kirk Cousins might entertain free agency, and it 489 00:20:50,868 --> 00:20:53,948 Speaker 5: sounds like Atlanta might be a possibility. If that's the case, 490 00:20:53,948 --> 00:20:55,628 Speaker 5: We'll see how the next few days play out. Like 491 00:20:55,868 --> 00:20:57,748 Speaker 5: I went into the combin, I thinking Mike Evans was 492 00:20:57,788 --> 00:21:00,988 Speaker 5: going to be a free agent, and Mike Carrafolo came 493 00:21:01,028 --> 00:21:03,388 Speaker 5: on our show and said he's coming back to Tampa. 494 00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:07,748 Speaker 5: Things change, Conversations are had. But leaving Indianapolis, I feel 495 00:21:07,868 --> 00:21:11,828 Speaker 5: less confident then I did going in that Cousins is 496 00:21:11,828 --> 00:21:12,948 Speaker 5: going to be a Viking next year. 497 00:21:13,268 --> 00:21:15,428 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's always that thing. You know, his wife 498 00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:18,748 Speaker 2: Julius from Georgia, they were married there. He's got family there. 499 00:21:18,828 --> 00:21:20,508 Speaker 2: We've talked about this before that, but I feel like 500 00:21:20,508 --> 00:21:22,348 Speaker 2: he hits free agency every nine months, Like it's just. 501 00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:26,028 Speaker 5: All guaranteed money too. 502 00:21:26,268 --> 00:21:27,708 Speaker 2: So if you're a Vikings fan and you wake up 503 00:21:27,748 --> 00:21:29,428 Speaker 2: and you see Kirk Cousins to sign it somewhere else 504 00:21:29,428 --> 00:21:30,908 Speaker 2: and he's gone, how do you feel? Because that all 505 00:21:30,948 --> 00:21:33,068 Speaker 2: becomes the question and who's your quarterback? Like that, it's 506 00:21:33,068 --> 00:21:35,668 Speaker 2: complicated with him. He's very good. He's actually better than 507 00:21:35,788 --> 00:21:38,348 Speaker 2: very good in most aspects of excellent. But then I 508 00:21:38,388 --> 00:21:39,708 Speaker 2: just know people are like, how do we lose that 509 00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:41,348 Speaker 2: playoff game with the Giants? How do we do this? 510 00:21:41,388 --> 00:21:43,748 Speaker 2: He's so expensive? What is plan B? Then they draft 511 00:21:43,828 --> 00:21:45,788 Speaker 2: somebody or they're going to go with with Jaron Hall 512 00:21:45,908 --> 00:21:47,748 Speaker 2: like that we saw for five seconds last year and 513 00:21:47,788 --> 00:21:49,028 Speaker 2: it's a little bit of you don't know what you 514 00:21:49,028 --> 00:21:51,668 Speaker 2: got till it's gone. He's excellence. He's gotten really good 515 00:21:51,668 --> 00:21:54,108 Speaker 2: play out of Jefferson, who also needs to be paid. Yeap, 516 00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:54,948 Speaker 2: what do you think? Jay? 517 00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:58,108 Speaker 4: I hear O'Connell say, like, earn the right? Yeah, I 518 00:21:58,268 --> 00:22:00,668 Speaker 4: question that in the standpoint of if I'm a team 519 00:22:01,148 --> 00:22:03,948 Speaker 4: and you've played really well for us, No, you didn't 520 00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:05,228 Speaker 4: earn it right. You earn the right for us to 521 00:22:05,228 --> 00:22:06,908 Speaker 4: give you another contract. So we're going to try to 522 00:22:06,948 --> 00:22:09,268 Speaker 4: get that done before you get to free agency. I 523 00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:12,268 Speaker 4: look at this where last year offseason we talked about, well, 524 00:22:12,268 --> 00:22:14,748 Speaker 4: the Vikings aren't going to stand Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins, 525 00:22:14,788 --> 00:22:16,548 Speaker 4: He's going into the last year of his deal. So 526 00:22:16,588 --> 00:22:19,028 Speaker 4: almost like the decision was made then that all right, 527 00:22:19,028 --> 00:22:21,308 Speaker 4: if I'm Kirk Cousins, I'm going to hit free agency 528 00:22:21,308 --> 00:22:23,588 Speaker 4: because now I owe it to myself because they bet 529 00:22:23,628 --> 00:22:25,108 Speaker 4: on themselves and saying, well, we want to see how 530 00:22:25,108 --> 00:22:27,628 Speaker 4: you're going to perform before we decide to bring you back. 531 00:22:27,748 --> 00:22:29,948 Speaker 4: I remember Brady's last year in New England. I remember 532 00:22:29,988 --> 00:22:32,348 Speaker 4: being in training camp going into the last year of 533 00:22:32,388 --> 00:22:34,188 Speaker 4: his deal, and that was the big news. It was 534 00:22:34,188 --> 00:22:36,548 Speaker 4: the first time Brady was ever going to play on 535 00:22:36,588 --> 00:22:38,628 Speaker 4: the last year of his contract. We knew what we 536 00:22:38,668 --> 00:22:41,068 Speaker 4: were practicing down to Detroit when that news came out 537 00:22:41,268 --> 00:22:43,988 Speaker 4: that Brady probably wasn't going to be back back next year. 538 00:22:44,068 --> 00:22:45,948 Speaker 4: Because as a quarterback, you go out there and you performed, 539 00:22:45,988 --> 00:22:47,628 Speaker 4: You're like, you know what, Well, they didn't believe on 540 00:22:47,668 --> 00:22:49,308 Speaker 4: me that I could be able to play beyond just 541 00:22:49,348 --> 00:22:51,148 Speaker 4: this year. So now I owe it to myself to 542 00:22:51,188 --> 00:22:53,308 Speaker 4: see what the other thirty one teams in the NFL 543 00:22:53,348 --> 00:22:55,228 Speaker 4: think of me. I think for Kirk Cousins, they haven't 544 00:22:55,228 --> 00:22:56,948 Speaker 4: been able to get a deal. That's probably what he's 545 00:22:56,988 --> 00:22:58,468 Speaker 4: telling them. Well, you know what, I kind of want 546 00:22:58,468 --> 00:22:59,268 Speaker 4: to see what's out there. 547 00:22:59,668 --> 00:23:01,628 Speaker 5: Who knows no prong on this? And I just opened 548 00:23:01,708 --> 00:23:03,348 Speaker 5: up all right. On the one side, he was on 549 00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:04,788 Speaker 5: his way to being NFL off. It's a player of 550 00:23:04,788 --> 00:23:06,628 Speaker 5: the year, they ask you, was right second? I have 551 00:23:06,788 --> 00:23:10,028 Speaker 5: his thirty six coming off a towny kill, and of 552 00:23:10,028 --> 00:23:11,988 Speaker 5: course he's going to rehab like a beast and he's comeback. 553 00:23:12,388 --> 00:23:14,388 Speaker 5: But the Vikings felt they were a quarterback away when 554 00:23:14,388 --> 00:23:16,188 Speaker 5: they went and they spent all that guaranteed money on 555 00:23:16,268 --> 00:23:18,628 Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins. They didn't win a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins. 556 00:23:18,668 --> 00:23:20,748 Speaker 5: Like is at thirty six? Is he getting the Falcons 557 00:23:20,748 --> 00:23:21,268 Speaker 5: a Super Bowl? 558 00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:22,228 Speaker 2: Right? 559 00:23:22,268 --> 00:23:24,668 Speaker 3: Are the Falcons that much closer without their quarterback than 560 00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:26,828 Speaker 3: the Vikings would be with the talent that they had. 561 00:23:26,908 --> 00:23:27,908 Speaker 4: You have to look at the. 562 00:23:27,908 --> 00:23:30,148 Speaker 3: Strip away, the roster without the quarterback and see where 563 00:23:30,148 --> 00:23:32,788 Speaker 3: those two teams stack up. I look at the way 564 00:23:32,908 --> 00:23:36,148 Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell answered that question. And this is coming off 565 00:23:36,188 --> 00:23:38,388 Speaker 3: of a forty eight hours lead into Jerry Jones using 566 00:23:38,388 --> 00:23:40,428 Speaker 3: the words all in, and everyone wanted to just pick 567 00:23:40,468 --> 00:23:42,388 Speaker 3: that apart at the combine. What does that mean if 568 00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:45,468 Speaker 3: you're Jerry Jones. I looked at how Kevin O'Connell answered 569 00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:47,628 Speaker 3: that question, and he could have said, we are going 570 00:23:47,708 --> 00:23:49,908 Speaker 3: all in in the next one hundred hours and we're 571 00:23:49,908 --> 00:23:52,108 Speaker 3: trying to make her cousins our quarterback. He did not 572 00:23:52,188 --> 00:23:54,588 Speaker 3: choose those words. He also said he's a processed guy 573 00:23:54,588 --> 00:23:56,228 Speaker 3: and he's earned that right. I did the same thing 574 00:23:56,228 --> 00:23:58,028 Speaker 3: you did when I heard that. Sitting on the field, 575 00:23:58,188 --> 00:24:00,028 Speaker 3: I was looking at the booth. I could see Kevin 576 00:24:00,028 --> 00:24:03,068 Speaker 3: O'Connell two hundred yards away from me. Just enraptured with 577 00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:06,508 Speaker 3: this answer because he pretty much went every direction except 578 00:24:06,548 --> 00:24:10,388 Speaker 3: we absolutely want this quarterback back. Respectful way to say 579 00:24:10,428 --> 00:24:12,908 Speaker 3: that he earned this right, but also the Vikings earned 580 00:24:12,908 --> 00:24:15,428 Speaker 3: the right to have the freedom as well, to your point, Jason, 581 00:24:15,508 --> 00:24:19,588 Speaker 3: So it's it's an interesting non committal respectful I'll say. 582 00:24:19,908 --> 00:24:21,788 Speaker 3: When Koc was getting ready to come in the booth 583 00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:23,628 Speaker 3: the day before with Rich, they were joking around and 584 00:24:23,668 --> 00:24:25,788 Speaker 3: he was like, Ridgeisen, you get one question about Kirk 585 00:24:25,788 --> 00:24:27,788 Speaker 3: and this, and Rich reference that in the booth like 586 00:24:27,828 --> 00:24:31,628 Speaker 3: he this is a heavy topic in Minnesota, and it's 587 00:24:31,668 --> 00:24:33,668 Speaker 3: just the first of many that the Vikings have to address. 588 00:24:33,708 --> 00:24:38,668 Speaker 5: Offensively, How can I sign a massive contract to stay 589 00:24:38,668 --> 00:24:40,788 Speaker 5: in Minnesota without know who to quarterbacks? 590 00:24:41,108 --> 00:24:42,148 Speaker 2: If it's not going to be Kirk Cousin. 591 00:24:42,268 --> 00:24:43,148 Speaker 5: What if it's guaranteed money? 592 00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:44,788 Speaker 3: So it doesn't matter how you how you fare what 593 00:24:44,788 --> 00:24:45,388 Speaker 3: your self to. 594 00:24:45,348 --> 00:24:47,308 Speaker 4: A certain extent, Justin Jeffers is going to become the 595 00:24:47,348 --> 00:24:50,468 Speaker 4: highest paid wide receiver for any tea. So like that, 596 00:24:50,668 --> 00:24:53,028 Speaker 4: he has the power to say, you know what, like, 597 00:24:53,068 --> 00:24:54,348 Speaker 4: who's going to be my quarterback? 598 00:24:54,388 --> 00:24:56,788 Speaker 5: I will say this. O'Connor was there Saturday when all 599 00:24:56,788 --> 00:24:58,588 Speaker 5: the quarterbacks were working out. He was there for the 600 00:24:58,628 --> 00:25:01,068 Speaker 5: majority of the week. He was definitely involved in meeting 601 00:25:01,108 --> 00:25:03,268 Speaker 5: with many of the rookies quarterback possibilities. Which is why 602 00:25:03,308 --> 00:25:04,308 Speaker 5: you put in the work. It's why you go to 603 00:25:04,308 --> 00:25:05,508 Speaker 5: the combine. You see them up close. 604 00:25:05,628 --> 00:25:05,828 Speaker 8: Yep. 605 00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:08,708 Speaker 3: That's one of the storylines that we're tracking in the 606 00:25:08,748 --> 00:25:10,868 Speaker 3: months leading up to the NFL Draft. 607 00:25:10,948 --> 00:25:12,188 Speaker 2: What will you be following? 608 00:25:12,868 --> 00:25:15,468 Speaker 3: More Good Morning Football on the way as we enter 609 00:25:15,628 --> 00:25:31,188 Speaker 3: free agency, draft season, and off season storyline season. Good 610 00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:36,228 Speaker 3: Morning Football for four street days on NFL Network. The 611 00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:39,708 Speaker 3: last four days, thirty plus hours of live coverage of 612 00:25:39,748 --> 00:25:44,308 Speaker 3: the NFL Scouting Combine. It was led by Richison Daniels Jeremiah. 613 00:25:44,468 --> 00:25:47,828 Speaker 3: Teammates all across the network with those two were there 614 00:25:47,828 --> 00:25:50,348 Speaker 3: from start to finish, and they wanted to summarize their 615 00:25:50,388 --> 00:25:52,708 Speaker 3: weekend for us as they wrap things up in Indie 616 00:25:52,748 --> 00:25:53,148 Speaker 3: last night. 617 00:25:54,108 --> 00:25:57,228 Speaker 6: All Right, the combine is now in the books. Rich 618 00:25:57,268 --> 00:26:00,228 Speaker 6: Eyes and Daniel Jeremiah. Your overall sense of what we 619 00:26:00,308 --> 00:26:01,908 Speaker 6: saw over the last four days is. 620 00:26:02,348 --> 00:26:04,708 Speaker 10: It's a strong draft class, especially if you you need 621 00:26:04,748 --> 00:26:07,908 Speaker 10: a quarterback, a wide receiver, or an offensive lineman. It 622 00:26:07,988 --> 00:26:09,468 Speaker 10: is a great year to need some help on the 623 00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:10,508 Speaker 10: offensive side of the ball. 624 00:26:10,628 --> 00:26:14,348 Speaker 6: And then the highlights have to start with the fastest 625 00:26:14,348 --> 00:26:16,468 Speaker 6: forty yard dash we've ever seen, right. 626 00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:18,748 Speaker 10: Yeah, when you go four to one, you jump right 627 00:26:18,788 --> 00:26:21,028 Speaker 10: to the top of the most impressive things that we 628 00:26:21,148 --> 00:26:21,708 Speaker 10: saw here. 629 00:26:22,068 --> 00:26:23,428 Speaker 2: How about four to five. 630 00:26:23,308 --> 00:26:26,788 Speaker 10: On the first forty for Xavier Worthy. You've got guys 631 00:26:26,788 --> 00:26:28,548 Speaker 10: in his group saying, take your shoes off, you're done, 632 00:26:28,588 --> 00:26:30,548 Speaker 10: you don't need to do this anymore. And he I'm 633 00:26:30,548 --> 00:26:32,668 Speaker 10: gonna take a shot at this record, and he goes 634 00:26:32,708 --> 00:26:33,268 Speaker 10: out and gets it. 635 00:26:33,348 --> 00:26:35,588 Speaker 5: Rich four to two, one forty. 636 00:26:36,468 --> 00:26:38,908 Speaker 6: And just the fact that the crowd with there's sixteen 637 00:26:38,948 --> 00:26:42,868 Speaker 6: thousand people here and yeah, he hooked us. You hooked us, 638 00:26:42,908 --> 00:26:43,628 Speaker 6: that's for sure. 639 00:26:44,108 --> 00:26:46,588 Speaker 10: Michael Pennix. In terms of the quarterbacks, I thought he 640 00:26:46,748 --> 00:26:49,148 Speaker 10: just spun the ball fast. The ball just pops out 641 00:26:49,188 --> 00:26:51,708 Speaker 10: of his hand, big time arm strength. He saw it 642 00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:53,908 Speaker 10: on the drive throws. You saw it on the over 643 00:26:53,948 --> 00:26:57,108 Speaker 10: the top throws. He was outstanding. If we go from 644 00:26:57,148 --> 00:27:00,508 Speaker 10: the offensive side of the ball over to the defensive 645 00:27:00,548 --> 00:27:03,588 Speaker 10: side of the ball, you look at Dallas Turner and 646 00:27:03,628 --> 00:27:05,588 Speaker 10: when he ran a four four to seven. My favorite 647 00:27:05,588 --> 00:27:07,788 Speaker 10: part about it was not the run, which was impressive, 648 00:27:08,108 --> 00:27:11,108 Speaker 10: it was the cutaway to Montiosin For the general manager, 649 00:27:11,268 --> 00:27:13,188 Speaker 10: he's going to be a top fifteen pick, likely a 650 00:27:13,228 --> 00:27:16,268 Speaker 10: top ten pick when it's all said and done. Quinnon Mitchell, 651 00:27:16,308 --> 00:27:18,548 Speaker 10: the corner from Toledo. He was great in the fall. 652 00:27:18,868 --> 00:27:20,748 Speaker 10: He tore it up at the race's Senior Bowl. Then 653 00:27:20,788 --> 00:27:24,428 Speaker 10: he gets out here and he was blazing fast. Not 654 00:27:24,468 --> 00:27:26,188 Speaker 10: only did he run really well. You see him going 655 00:27:26,188 --> 00:27:29,508 Speaker 10: to the w drill here rich incredibly athletic, fluid working 656 00:27:29,508 --> 00:27:31,308 Speaker 10: through all the drills. He's got a chance to be 657 00:27:31,348 --> 00:27:33,548 Speaker 10: the first cornerback he get selected, and. 658 00:27:34,068 --> 00:27:37,468 Speaker 6: His gauntlet was terrific as well, and it was just 659 00:27:37,508 --> 00:27:41,388 Speaker 6: a terrific wide receiver group, but the tackles as well. 660 00:27:41,548 --> 00:27:44,468 Speaker 10: Yeah, Talisi Fuaga, he's got a chance to be the 661 00:27:44,468 --> 00:27:46,988 Speaker 10: first one off the board. Joe alf is considered that guy. 662 00:27:47,028 --> 00:27:49,188 Speaker 10: I think that race is tightened with what we saw 663 00:27:49,228 --> 00:27:50,948 Speaker 10: from him, not only the Senior Bowl, what we saw 664 00:27:50,988 --> 00:27:53,948 Speaker 10: from him here at the combine. He is so big 665 00:27:53,988 --> 00:27:57,988 Speaker 10: and so under control, so athletic. To me, he's plugging play, 666 00:27:58,028 --> 00:27:59,628 Speaker 10: ready to go right away at the next level. You 667 00:27:59,628 --> 00:28:01,388 Speaker 10: could just see him punch the bag, turn and move. 668 00:28:01,628 --> 00:28:03,748 Speaker 10: Everything he did was effortless. 669 00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:06,588 Speaker 6: Rich and then just I'll never forget watching Roma Dounza 670 00:28:06,748 --> 00:28:10,628 Speaker 6: once everybody was done on Saturday night, go through the 671 00:28:10,628 --> 00:28:12,868 Speaker 6: three cone drill over and over and over again until 672 00:28:12,868 --> 00:28:14,388 Speaker 6: he got what he was looking for. 673 00:28:14,508 --> 00:28:17,388 Speaker 10: He won the interviews, he ran the mid four fours 674 00:28:17,388 --> 00:28:19,788 Speaker 10: at two hundred and ten plus pounds, and then just 675 00:28:19,908 --> 00:28:22,148 Speaker 10: showing his competitiveness throughout the entire workout. 676 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:26,708 Speaker 6: And so what's next is free agency after the franchise 677 00:28:26,748 --> 00:28:30,068 Speaker 6: tag deadline comes up very shortly, and then path to 678 00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:32,668 Speaker 6: the draft starts in April and we get to Detroit. 679 00:28:32,788 --> 00:28:34,908 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's right around the corner. It feels like the 680 00:28:34,908 --> 00:28:36,788 Speaker 10: combine got here fast. The Draft's going to get here 681 00:28:36,828 --> 00:28:39,428 Speaker 10: even faster. You're the man, great job, buddy, right back 682 00:28:39,508 --> 00:28:39,908 Speaker 10: at you. 683 00:28:39,988 --> 00:28:42,828 Speaker 6: The best, Daniel Jeremiah right here, And the same thing 684 00:28:42,868 --> 00:28:46,028 Speaker 6: goes to our entire crew here in Indianapolis. That's it 685 00:28:46,108 --> 00:28:49,308 Speaker 6: for the combine for DJ I'm rich see you soon. 686 00:28:50,068 --> 00:28:51,988 Speaker 3: We will see you soon, gentlemen. And it's just the 687 00:28:52,028 --> 00:28:53,868 Speaker 3: beginning in terms of the path of the draft that 688 00:28:53,908 --> 00:28:57,588 Speaker 3: the combine is officially behind us. Now, considering all things 689 00:28:57,588 --> 00:28:59,908 Speaker 3: that we learned from over the weekend about the prospects 690 00:28:59,908 --> 00:29:01,988 Speaker 3: and how it plays into the greater world in the NFL, 691 00:29:02,308 --> 00:29:05,628 Speaker 3: as we take a gander at the draft, orders intriguing storyline. 692 00:29:05,628 --> 00:29:07,908 Speaker 3: Peter to you following this, following the. 693 00:29:07,828 --> 00:29:11,268 Speaker 5: Combine, Daniels or May becomes intrigued to me. I think 694 00:29:11,308 --> 00:29:14,388 Speaker 5: Caleb solidified he's the number one pick. Do you go, 695 00:29:14,948 --> 00:29:17,828 Speaker 5: Jade and Daniels or Drake May if you're going quarterback? 696 00:29:17,868 --> 00:29:20,468 Speaker 5: Because I went into combine things think it thinking it 697 00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:24,028 Speaker 5: was Daniels over May. May was awesome in the interviews 698 00:29:24,028 --> 00:29:27,268 Speaker 5: apparently this week and yeah, I was talking to a 699 00:29:27,308 --> 00:29:28,908 Speaker 5: few of the people who are on the field during 700 00:29:28,908 --> 00:29:30,308 Speaker 5: the warm ups, and Drake May was there. I had 701 00:29:30,348 --> 00:29:32,188 Speaker 5: a chance to speak with him briefly. Obviously he's very 702 00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,348 Speaker 5: impressive as a young man, and so is Jaden Daniels. 703 00:29:34,508 --> 00:29:38,188 Speaker 5: Jane Daniels did not participate in anything, did not show 704 00:29:38,268 --> 00:29:41,548 Speaker 5: up Saturday during the Hu's gone, so we didn't get 705 00:29:41,548 --> 00:29:43,588 Speaker 5: a chance to have that same opportunity with him. But 706 00:29:43,868 --> 00:29:46,108 Speaker 5: gms are split right now. When I talk about who 707 00:29:46,108 --> 00:29:47,908 Speaker 5: do you what's your order, and it's Caleb one, and 708 00:29:47,908 --> 00:29:50,108 Speaker 5: then it's I like Daniels more than May, or like 709 00:29:50,108 --> 00:29:52,388 Speaker 5: May more than Daniels. I think that's gonna be really intriguing, 710 00:29:52,468 --> 00:29:56,148 Speaker 5: especially with the two team being Washington the three team 711 00:29:56,188 --> 00:29:58,988 Speaker 5: being New England. So you've got those squads there, and 712 00:29:58,988 --> 00:30:00,868 Speaker 5: then the Arizona Cardinals are looming and they might want 713 00:30:00,868 --> 00:30:03,108 Speaker 5: to trade out if someone wants to trade up. So 714 00:30:03,348 --> 00:30:05,548 Speaker 5: Daniels or May might be the big debate. I would 715 00:30:05,588 --> 00:30:06,628 Speaker 5: assume Caleb goes one. 716 00:30:07,348 --> 00:30:09,468 Speaker 4: Piggybacking right off of what you're saying. You just mentioned 717 00:30:09,508 --> 00:30:12,708 Speaker 4: a number two team pick in Washington and then three 718 00:30:12,748 --> 00:30:15,348 Speaker 4: in New England. As you talk about those quarterback positions 719 00:30:15,348 --> 00:30:17,948 Speaker 4: for New England, what do they do at the third pick? 720 00:30:18,108 --> 00:30:20,828 Speaker 4: I gotta assume Washington may go quarterback. So for New England, 721 00:30:21,108 --> 00:30:24,228 Speaker 4: say you have May as your guy and then May 722 00:30:24,268 --> 00:30:26,308 Speaker 4: goes two off the board. Do you sail for Jayden 723 00:30:26,388 --> 00:30:28,388 Speaker 4: Daniels or do you decide, you know what, we have 724 00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:30,388 Speaker 4: Brian Horry And you'll see Kyle and he was there 725 00:30:30,388 --> 00:30:33,428 Speaker 4: with Mac Jones his rookie year when he first got there, 726 00:30:33,428 --> 00:30:36,228 Speaker 4: and he believed that the Patriot Patriots are gonna keep 727 00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:39,068 Speaker 4: mac Jones and try to build around him. I questioned 728 00:30:39,108 --> 00:30:41,388 Speaker 4: whether too much has happened in this short period of 729 00:30:41,388 --> 00:30:44,028 Speaker 4: time to continue to just run it back with mac Jones. 730 00:30:44,028 --> 00:30:45,548 Speaker 4: But I think at that number three spot for the 731 00:30:45,588 --> 00:30:47,788 Speaker 4: New England Patriots, it gets a little dicey to see 732 00:30:47,828 --> 00:30:50,028 Speaker 4: what they're going to do. Do they go quarterback? Or 733 00:30:50,068 --> 00:30:52,308 Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior is on the board. Do they decide 734 00:30:52,348 --> 00:30:54,268 Speaker 4: to go with him as a number three pick and say, 735 00:30:54,268 --> 00:30:55,788 Speaker 4: you know what, we think he may be the most 736 00:30:55,788 --> 00:30:58,228 Speaker 4: talented player in the entire draft. Let's bring him in 737 00:30:58,268 --> 00:31:00,588 Speaker 4: and then find and build around him. It's gonna be 738 00:31:00,628 --> 00:31:02,668 Speaker 4: so many question marks. I think that number three spot 739 00:31:02,748 --> 00:31:04,948 Speaker 4: dependent upon where you can rank a May or a 740 00:31:05,028 --> 00:31:06,228 Speaker 4: Daniels can dictate a lot. 741 00:31:06,308 --> 00:31:08,548 Speaker 3: I read some terrifying words in an article about the 742 00:31:08,588 --> 00:31:11,108 Speaker 3: Patriots and the fact that it was partnered with trade back, 743 00:31:11,188 --> 00:31:12,548 Speaker 3: and I was like, for the love of God, please 744 00:31:12,588 --> 00:31:14,188 Speaker 3: don't do it again. I just want to see who 745 00:31:14,228 --> 00:31:15,588 Speaker 3: you would take at the number three pick. 746 00:31:15,628 --> 00:31:18,188 Speaker 2: Overall, Lawyer thinks they're gonna stick with Mac Jones. 747 00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:20,308 Speaker 4: And now he's a teammate of Mac. That's one of 748 00:31:20,308 --> 00:31:23,388 Speaker 4: his guys. So I think he's said a supporter of that. Yeah, 749 00:31:23,588 --> 00:31:26,468 Speaker 4: he thinks that's gonna happen. Well, he said Mac Jones, 750 00:31:26,508 --> 00:31:29,428 Speaker 4: Patriots quarterback. You can put whatever verbs in there you want, 751 00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,068 Speaker 4: he said, Mac Jones, Patriots courting. 752 00:31:31,068 --> 00:31:33,508 Speaker 2: All right, well, I listen, it doesn't feel like we've 753 00:31:33,508 --> 00:31:35,548 Speaker 2: had a draft in a long time. That's sure to 754 00:31:35,628 --> 00:31:37,868 Speaker 2: not be chalk and just the teams that are lined 755 00:31:37,948 --> 00:31:39,388 Speaker 2: up are going to take their pick at their thing, 756 00:31:39,428 --> 00:31:41,508 Speaker 2: and they get the people we all think they're gonna 757 00:31:41,548 --> 00:31:44,228 Speaker 2: But the two, three and four is interesting. I'm looking 758 00:31:44,268 --> 00:31:46,068 Speaker 2: at the team who's going to make the big jump, Like, 759 00:31:46,148 --> 00:31:48,228 Speaker 2: who is going to say, our hair is on fire 760 00:31:48,268 --> 00:31:49,588 Speaker 2: for this player and we're going to trade away the 761 00:31:49,628 --> 00:31:51,788 Speaker 2: next few years draft to get this player. I look 762 00:31:51,828 --> 00:31:56,268 Speaker 2: specifically eleven, twelve, thirteen fourteen. So eleven is the Vikings. 763 00:31:56,268 --> 00:32:01,068 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with Cousins. But then you go Broncos, Raiders, Saints. 764 00:32:01,388 --> 00:32:04,388 Speaker 2: Those are all teams either in transition or who don't 765 00:32:04,468 --> 00:32:07,548 Speaker 2: really have a quarterback identity, especially with the Raiders with 766 00:32:07,628 --> 00:32:10,148 Speaker 2: the new coach and real no quarterback identity. The Saints, 767 00:32:10,148 --> 00:32:11,908 Speaker 2: we're sitting here with Derek Carr, what are we doing? 768 00:32:12,068 --> 00:32:14,428 Speaker 2: And the Broncos the bizarre turn of events with Russell 769 00:32:14,428 --> 00:32:16,388 Speaker 2: Wilson and Sean Payton's cable of anything are one of 770 00:32:16,388 --> 00:32:18,468 Speaker 2: those teams. The team they're like, oh my god, the 771 00:32:18,548 --> 00:32:21,988 Speaker 2: Raiders have moved from thirteen to three or two or one, 772 00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:24,668 Speaker 2: I don't even know. I feel like this draft has 773 00:32:24,708 --> 00:32:27,828 Speaker 2: the recipe for the blockbuster, the oh my god, this 774 00:32:27,948 --> 00:32:30,468 Speaker 2: draft is drunk and rapidport saying a team just moved 775 00:32:30,508 --> 00:32:33,788 Speaker 2: up twelve slots and just sold their next four drafts 776 00:32:33,828 --> 00:32:36,508 Speaker 2: to get this one player. That's the most exciting drafts 777 00:32:36,508 --> 00:32:40,028 Speaker 2: ever are when the bat bleep and sane stuff happens. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, 778 00:32:40,068 --> 00:32:42,588 Speaker 2: fourteen is I think the sweet spot for the big jumpers, 779 00:32:42,588 --> 00:32:43,108 Speaker 2: and that's what I'm. 780 00:32:42,988 --> 00:32:45,348 Speaker 5: Looking And I give you a couple of little Nuggets, Yeah, 781 00:32:45,428 --> 00:32:49,708 Speaker 5: Raiders thirteen. Jaden Daniels played at Arizona State for Antonio Pierce. 782 00:32:49,908 --> 00:32:53,028 Speaker 5: There is a real relationship there. So if Antonio Pierce 783 00:32:53,068 --> 00:32:55,108 Speaker 5: and Tom Telesco are like, let's go get our guy, 784 00:32:55,308 --> 00:32:59,668 Speaker 5: that could happen Broncos Champayne. Obviously, Russell Wilson has that fund. 785 00:32:59,748 --> 00:33:02,268 Speaker 5: Sean Payton always says one of the great stories that 786 00:33:02,308 --> 00:33:04,068 Speaker 5: he has and it's not really re correct because they 787 00:33:04,068 --> 00:33:06,508 Speaker 5: word they were set to take Patrick Mahomes at eleven 788 00:33:06,668 --> 00:33:08,548 Speaker 5: and Andy Reid and the Chiefs moved up to ten 789 00:33:08,788 --> 00:33:10,628 Speaker 5: and took them. They got Marshall Lattimore. They were happy, 790 00:33:10,668 --> 00:33:13,068 Speaker 5: but they missed Mahomes by a pick. Does that one 791 00:33:13,108 --> 00:33:15,028 Speaker 5: sit with him and say, I'm not missing this time? 792 00:33:15,268 --> 00:33:18,628 Speaker 2: What is like general price from like let's just say 793 00:33:18,668 --> 00:33:20,748 Speaker 2: twelve to two, like paint a price. 794 00:33:20,908 --> 00:33:23,508 Speaker 5: So the Niners, the Niners went up from I think 795 00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:27,988 Speaker 5: thirteen to three to get Lance and they give up 796 00:33:28,028 --> 00:33:29,668 Speaker 5: two future first round pins. 797 00:33:29,428 --> 00:33:30,028 Speaker 2: And it's a lot. 798 00:33:30,268 --> 00:33:32,948 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a lot. It's your mortgaging your future. But 799 00:33:33,308 --> 00:33:35,268 Speaker 5: he has to hit, he has to hit unless he 800 00:33:35,308 --> 00:33:37,828 Speaker 5: does it, and you have brought perty. Yeah, so hit 801 00:33:37,868 --> 00:33:38,228 Speaker 5: your seventh. 802 00:33:38,228 --> 00:33:38,548 Speaker 2: There you go. 803 00:33:38,828 --> 00:33:40,468 Speaker 5: You're saying, there you go, I. 804 00:33:40,428 --> 00:33:42,348 Speaker 3: Like that to that list and to that point the 805 00:33:42,388 --> 00:33:45,188 Speaker 3: teams that they're new decision makers in that chair too. 806 00:33:45,268 --> 00:33:47,348 Speaker 3: It's not like we're looking at, you know, Dennis Allen 807 00:33:47,508 --> 00:33:50,348 Speaker 3: of that list of like twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. Dennis 808 00:33:50,348 --> 00:33:52,428 Speaker 3: Allen's like the most tenured head coach in that specific 809 00:33:52,428 --> 00:33:54,468 Speaker 3: spot with his team. We don't know what a Sean 810 00:33:54,548 --> 00:33:57,788 Speaker 3: Payton led decision making tree for the Denver Broncos looks 811 00:33:57,788 --> 00:33:59,748 Speaker 3: like Peter, I can imagine you spent some time with 812 00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:03,308 Speaker 3: Sean Payton this weekend. He just continues this narrative of 813 00:34:03,348 --> 00:34:06,908 Speaker 3: like Russell will send that chapter is virtually close, and 814 00:34:06,948 --> 00:34:08,708 Speaker 3: we're looking at it like what was the nature early 815 00:34:08,748 --> 00:34:10,948 Speaker 3: of the the Broncos brass being there and what they 816 00:34:10,988 --> 00:34:11,668 Speaker 3: were inspecting? 817 00:34:11,708 --> 00:34:13,828 Speaker 5: Maybe as all they were all there Saturday. They were 818 00:34:13,828 --> 00:34:15,788 Speaker 5: all there with their binoculars and they were watching those 819 00:34:15,868 --> 00:34:18,028 Speaker 5: quarterbacks the rust thing we should know in the next 820 00:34:18,108 --> 00:34:20,668 Speaker 5: couple of days. I would imagine, I'm not breaking news. 821 00:34:20,668 --> 00:34:22,348 Speaker 5: I think that's done. Yeah, it's just how do they 822 00:34:22,348 --> 00:34:22,828 Speaker 5: get out of it? 823 00:34:22,948 --> 00:34:23,188 Speaker 6: Yeah? 824 00:34:23,188 --> 00:34:25,028 Speaker 5: And in that case, what's your alternative? And I think 825 00:34:25,028 --> 00:34:27,188 Speaker 5: the draft is suppled with quarterbacks and I think they'd 826 00:34:27,188 --> 00:34:27,628 Speaker 5: be players. 827 00:34:27,708 --> 00:34:29,868 Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy just seems like he would fit like a 828 00:34:29,908 --> 00:34:33,068 Speaker 4: Sean Payton offense. Like, ok, just you looked at Breeze 829 00:34:33,188 --> 00:34:34,828 Speaker 4: and what he was able to do when it came 830 00:34:34,868 --> 00:34:36,628 Speaker 4: to knowing exactly where to go with the ball, being 831 00:34:36,708 --> 00:34:39,388 Speaker 4: accurate timing and all of those different things we talk 832 00:34:39,468 --> 00:34:41,468 Speaker 4: about JJ McCarthy, and it's just like the things that 833 00:34:41,588 --> 00:34:43,588 Speaker 4: we liked about him. You said in the meeting rooms, 834 00:34:43,788 --> 00:34:46,988 Speaker 4: everything he knew, the pro Skall offense he could possibly 835 00:34:46,988 --> 00:34:48,988 Speaker 4: get there and know. And then from where they're drafting, 836 00:34:49,188 --> 00:34:51,668 Speaker 4: you look at those top guys unless you said that, Kyle, 837 00:34:51,748 --> 00:34:54,148 Speaker 4: unless they're trading everything away to move up to get 838 00:34:54,188 --> 00:34:56,068 Speaker 4: one of those guys. Who knows where a guy like 839 00:34:56,148 --> 00:34:58,748 Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy could fall. Maybe he's around that area and 840 00:34:58,748 --> 00:35:00,948 Speaker 4: they're able to draft. Be fun to see JJ McCarthy 841 00:35:01,028 --> 00:35:04,828 Speaker 4: in Denver. He would face Harbaugh twice every year. That's 842 00:35:04,828 --> 00:35:05,588 Speaker 4: Harbor's boy. 843 00:35:05,828 --> 00:35:10,308 Speaker 5: Yeah, Harbors the highest mountaintops about JJ McCarthy, Well, here 844 00:35:10,308 --> 00:35:12,828 Speaker 5: you go, here's Justin Herbert versus J. J McCarthy. And 845 00:35:12,868 --> 00:35:14,108 Speaker 5: the Commander sings real too. 846 00:35:14,148 --> 00:35:16,428 Speaker 3: At two with Cliff Kingsbury coming in with a new offense, 847 00:35:16,468 --> 00:35:18,708 Speaker 3: as well and seeing what fits there and all he 848 00:35:18,828 --> 00:35:22,348 Speaker 3: knows coming out of college football. So the quarterback needy 849 00:35:22,388 --> 00:35:24,988 Speaker 3: teams as it pertains to free agency and the draft 850 00:35:25,028 --> 00:35:26,628 Speaker 3: I think is just so sexy this year. 851 00:35:26,668 --> 00:35:27,188 Speaker 5: It's awesome. 852 00:35:27,268 --> 00:35:27,988 Speaker 2: Sign us up for it. 853 00:35:28,068 --> 00:35:30,348 Speaker 3: That was good morning football out a Monday. We are 854 00:35:30,428 --> 00:35:32,188 Speaker 3: off and running in terms of draft season by 855 00:35:32,268 --> 00:35:34,228 Speaker 5: Eagles are drafting Frank Crumb in the first round.
