Speaker 1: It's late fifteen to ten touched up Socker.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: Guys? Welcome into a brand new episode of Chargers Weekly,
Speaker 3: two weeks away from the NFL Draft and as always,
Speaker 3: joined by Matt Mundy Smith Money What is up? Brother?
Speaker 1: Well, my apologies for the late post today. The NFL
Speaker 1: every year does a broadcast boot camp and it's an
Speaker 1: opportunity for current and former players to learn the ropes
Speaker 1: of television play by play, radio play by play, studio host,
Speaker 1: slash analyst, podcast host, all that sort of stuff. So
Speaker 1: they always ask, since I'm in town, it's easier for
Speaker 1: them to have me roll up there to do the
Speaker 1: radio play by play portion of it. And so that's
Speaker 1: kind of what I was doing all day and why
Speaker 1: everybody's waiting around. And so I appreciate you and Greg
Speaker 1: and all the folks listening and shout out to some
Speaker 1: former Chargers that were there and always exciting to see
Speaker 1: them and talk football with Isaac Rachelle and the old
Speaker 1: Mike and Ike show, remember that one, and uh Chris
Speaker 1: Harris Junior as well. So great to see a couple
Speaker 1: of former Chargers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike and Ike had uh had a channel on
Speaker 3: the Chargers podcast network for a year doing some doing
Speaker 3: some fun stuff with players.
Speaker 1: Yes they did.
Speaker 3: Uh you know, I actually, you know, I was at
Speaker 3: the complex today. I interviewed Tully for for an interview
Speaker 3: on Sports Central that's gonna air later this month. And
Speaker 3: it was really neat to hear him talk about Ben
Speaker 3: Herbert and Harball and getting another year with with Khalil
Speaker 3: and Joey, and you know, it was just a year ago, man,
Speaker 3: that this kid was, you know, USC player, waiting for
Speaker 3: his h his name to be called. And now he's
Speaker 3: one of the cornerstones of this defense, so be under
Speaker 3: look after that. And then I did something with Nick Hardwick,
Speaker 3: uh a few weeks ago that's gonna air two. And
Speaker 3: just just seeing Nick, I mean, you worked with the
Speaker 3: money in the booths, brilliant, He's brilliant, and this is
Speaker 3: like his third act as a member of the Chargers
Speaker 3: organization obviously player broadcaster, but just the passion shines through
Speaker 3: as a coach. And I know he's gonna make this
Speaker 3: so lie, very nasty.
Speaker 1: No doubt. I'm looking forward to both of those very
Speaker 1: much so. And you know you mentioned it, Chris, and
Speaker 1: I think, look, I know, I take a lot of
Speaker 1: incoming for Tom Telesco's stuff. But it's like, hey, be fair,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna take shots for the fact
Speaker 1: that Quinton didn't perform as well as you might like
Speaker 1: in year one, and we're certainly hoping that he's going
Speaker 1: to bounce back here in here two, then at least
Speaker 1: tip the cap that he's got Tully in round two,
Speaker 1: you know, And that's soone if you redraft, that guy's
Speaker 1: going top twenty five, I can promise you that. So
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times, the especially social media,
Speaker 1: can be a sea of negativity. So you know, don't
Speaker 1: forget there's some positives to come out of the draft
Speaker 1: last year. And there's a lot of teams out there
Speaker 1: that would love to have Tully on their defensive line,
Speaker 1: considering not only how good he rushes the past, but
Speaker 1: his versatility to play inside and out. And Khalil Mack
Speaker 1: ain't getting seventeen plus sacks without Tully giving him at
Speaker 1: least five that he ran into because he was the
Speaker 1: one collapse in the opposite side. So I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to that. I'm really looking forward to Tuley. You know,
Speaker 1: it's you think about I'll tell you what, Chris I
Speaker 1: think about two and this is gonna sound kind of weird.
Speaker 1: I just hope it doesn't come out too weird. But
Speaker 1: I think about two bodies on the chargers, just physical
Speaker 1: the way guys are built, the way their bodies are built.
Speaker 1: And I think about Zion and I think about Tuley
Speaker 1: and what Ben Herbert that canvas, those two canvas is
Speaker 1: that Ben Herbert has to work with, and just knowing
Speaker 1: how young they are, how strong they are, and the
Speaker 1: fact that they don't they still don't have man's strength yet,
Speaker 1: you know, like that's still coming. That's still like a
Speaker 1: year or two away for Zion and like two to
Speaker 1: three years away for Tully to get that real man strength.
Speaker 1: And I cannot wait to see how that how that,
Speaker 1: you know, progression kind of takes another step this year
Speaker 1: for each of them.
Speaker 3: There's a picture of us at Trany Kip next to Tully,
Speaker 3: and our legs look like, oh twigs.
Speaker 1: It's really good.
Speaker 3: It's actually it looks photoshopped.
Speaker 1: It shopped.
Speaker 3: I said that we had a couple of questions. I
Speaker 3: just wanted to kind of carry this over real quick
Speaker 3: because it's it lines in with what we were just talking
Speaker 3: about from Jonathan Vang. How many sacks do you think Bosa,
Speaker 3: Mac and Tully will get this season. Let's just say
Speaker 3: that they're all healthy for fourteen to fifteen games. It
Speaker 3: could be scary. I did mention to Tully. We kind
Speaker 3: of called him the John Stockton of sacks. He kind
Speaker 3: of like sets other people up to get sacks, so
Speaker 3: he had to get four and a half last year.
Speaker 3: But boy, like you said, he he helped Khalil get
Speaker 3: his seventeen.
Speaker 1: The three of them, if they're all healthy for seventeen games,
Speaker 1: I'll go one hundred. I'll go one hundred sets.
Speaker 3: They all bright the SEC record.
Speaker 1: Yes, they will, all each of them individual one of
Speaker 1: them will break it, then the next one will break it.
Speaker 1: They'll each end up with thirty three and a third.
Speaker 1: It's going to be incredible. There's a reason why they're
Speaker 1: paying those guys, even though Joey has had issues with injury,
Speaker 1: and even though Khalil is, you know, according to a
Speaker 1: lot of folks past his prime, certainly didn't look like
Speaker 1: it last year in terms of production. But there's a
Speaker 1: reason why they're still giving those guys tens of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars because they know if in fact, they can
Speaker 1: keep them healthy. That teams just they can't deal with it.
Speaker 1: That's just that's the reality. When all three of them
Speaker 1: are on the field, they cannot deal with them. To
Speaker 1: have a rotation where they can stay fresh. They just
Speaker 1: can't deal with it. So, you know, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll draw this parallel, Chris, for for all the folks
Speaker 1: that are Dodger fans out there, you know, just kind
Speaker 1: of look at what they're doing with their rotation and
Speaker 1: think about that in terms of the defensive line, which
Speaker 1: is why I wouldn't be surprised if you know that's
Speaker 1: an early pick defensive line interior or an edge just
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to keep these guys fresh. You've
Speaker 1: got to try to make sure they are there when
Speaker 1: the tournament shows up. And that's you know, what you're
Speaker 1: seeing the Dodgers do with bullpen games, and when Walker
Speaker 1: Buhler comes back, it could end up being a six
Speaker 1: man rotation just because they want Glass now, they want Yamamoto,
Speaker 1: they want Bobby Miller and Clayton Kersher to all be
Speaker 1: fresh when it's time to be fresh. And I think
Speaker 1: that's something you have to keep in mind when it
Speaker 1: comes to edge. Is the idea that you can roll
Speaker 1: these guys. You know who does the best job of
Speaker 1: it is Philadelphia. That's why they like, look at the
Speaker 1: way Philadelphia drafts and they just roll those guys through there, man.
Speaker 1: And it's just a never ending, relentless pursuit of the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And it's why they're in the mix every year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, from from Fletcher Cox to Carter to the big.
Speaker 1: Brand from Reddick and it just Smith. Yeah, it's NonStop.
Speaker 1: It's non They draft O line and D line and
Speaker 1: I think that's what you're going to start seeing this
Speaker 1: front office do a lot of is olne D line. Man,
Speaker 1: is where it's at. If you can be good at
Speaker 1: those two positions, you can really fill in around it
Speaker 1: and be very successful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tulle said. Also, don't sleep on Morgan Fox this
Speaker 3: year too as a fourth edge rusher. You know somebody
Speaker 3: who he feels like a hardball guy to me. Hey, So,
Speaker 3: Andy Bischoff, the run game coordinator and Titans coach, spoke
Speaker 3: at length about ten minutes or so this week, and
Speaker 3: I always feel like there's an extension of Jim Harball
Speaker 3: within all these coaches. Right when you hear Ben Herbert talk,
Speaker 3: you know that Jim Harball is behind all of that,
Speaker 3: and same thing with coach Bischoff. And you put a
Speaker 3: couple of clips up on Twitter. Let's play a couple
Speaker 3: right now. This is just talking about the offensive line
Speaker 3: and what they mean inside the practice facility starting this year.
Speaker 4: Some people don't value offensive linemen. We do, okay, and
Speaker 4: that will be shown in how we approach everything from
Speaker 4: how we stretch, to how we lift, to how we
Speaker 4: run the ball to how we protect.
Speaker 3: This is a place.
Speaker 4: Where o linemen are going to want to come and
Speaker 4: play because it's an Olne sent space where we're gonna
Speaker 4: raise these guys up and make them feel great about
Speaker 4: what they do and what they have to offer, and
Speaker 4: not push them to the side and make them the afterthought.
Speaker 4: They are at the forefront of our thinking.
Speaker 3: Somebody like we've been saying, you know, this is an
Speaker 3: offensive line centric football team, but coach Bischoff took that
Speaker 3: to another level. Like it starts and ends with those guys.
Speaker 1: Right, And you know, I don't know if I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's for you know, if it's for dramatic purposes,
Speaker 1: because I do think every team values offensive line. Is like, look,
Speaker 1: some teams don't we do. Every team values offensive line.
Speaker 1: The difference is they don't commit the resources to it.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the way you have to think
Speaker 1: about it, is are you going to put the not well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna put the money. Are you gonna put the
Speaker 1: draft stock? Are you going is that? Are you going
Speaker 1: to invest? Because that's the only way you can prove
Speaker 1: that you're different than everybody else is you will commit
Speaker 1: pick in, pick out, contract in, contract out to ensure
Speaker 1: that the offensive line is top top shelf. And you know,
Speaker 1: you think about the teams that do that. Philadelphia they
Speaker 1: in the playoffs every year. Dallas, you talk about their
Speaker 1: playoff failures, but are they in the playoffs every year?
Speaker 1: Like teams that San Francisco, Kansas City, Like teams that
Speaker 1: invest in the offensive line, Baltimore, they tend to show
Speaker 1: up in the postseason. It's not It's not a secret.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to continue to I'm not. I
Speaker 1: know that we're gonna we're gonna get to the draft
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about the wide receivers and
Speaker 1: and I know people are tired. At least they're letting
Speaker 1: me know that they're tired of me talking about it,
Speaker 1: and they I.
Speaker 3: Don't think, buddy, you know what, it's fifty to fifty,
Speaker 3: and I think that that means it's a great argument.
Speaker 3: I really do think there's a lot of people that say, hey,
Speaker 3: I agree with what Money's trying to say because they
Speaker 3: need more pieces. And there's obviously people that think that there's
Speaker 3: a void as a number one weapon. But when you
Speaker 3: have it split like that, that means it's a really
Speaker 3: good argument.
Speaker 1: I just keep what you know. The reason why I
Speaker 1: keep bringing it up week after week after week is
Speaker 1: because this this is the staff, this is the style
Speaker 1: of football they're going to play. I don't know why
Speaker 1: people are so resistant to accept that. Why why a
Speaker 1: number of people are resistant to accepting that this is
Speaker 1: the way that that Jim Harbaugh has played every single
Speaker 1: stop he has made, whether it was San Diego, Stanford,
Speaker 1: San Francisco, or Michigan, it was all the same. It
Speaker 1: is all physical, beat the snot out of you. If
Speaker 1: we gotta win close games, we're gonna win close games,
Speaker 1: and every now and then we got to cut it loose.
Speaker 1: And when if we need to cut it loose, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have the ability to cut it loose, but we'd
Speaker 1: prefer to play this way and to win this way.
Speaker 1: And we just saw two more coaches, Marcus Brady and
Speaker 1: Andy Bischoff. You just heard the clip basically again, remind
Speaker 1: us of that. So all I'm doing is saying, read
Speaker 1: the tea leaves. You all wanted Harbaugh to be the hire,
Speaker 1: and when you hired him, this is the staff that
Speaker 1: you hired. This is the football philosophy you hired. And
Speaker 1: this is a this is a general manager that he
Speaker 1: you know, he was hired before Joe and you know,
Speaker 1: so this is someone that he's really comfortable working with
Speaker 1: and is going to have a very similar philosophy. And
Speaker 1: I just you know, we ended up having two more
Speaker 1: coaches now say the exact same thing, and that is
Speaker 1: offensive line is priority number one and offensive We had
Speaker 1: two offensive coaches say it. Even the passing game coordinator
Speaker 1: was basically saying it. So that's all. This is not
Speaker 1: me trying to be right. This is not me saying
Speaker 1: this is how I believe they should draft or what
Speaker 1: player I think they should draft. It's just me saying, hey,
Speaker 1: just I'm just reading the tea leaves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, before we get to the draft. A couple more
Speaker 3: clips from coach Bischoff. I got fired up about the titands.
Speaker 3: I'm sure Chargers fans got fired up about Disley and
Speaker 3: at Hayden Hurst when when coach Bischoff talked about HM,
Speaker 3: let's start with Will Disley first.
Speaker 4: I mean, when you start with Will, you're talking about
Speaker 4: one of the three guys in the league that can
Speaker 4: own the sea gap, period, and there's not many of them. Okay,
Speaker 4: this is a different kind of football league we live
Speaker 4: in now, and to have a tight end that can
Speaker 4: own the sea gap is rare. And he's one of
Speaker 4: those guys.
Speaker 3: So money owning the sea gap, I've never heard it
Speaker 3: put so eloquently.
Speaker 1: And with enthusiasm, like hey, yeah, there's three guys now,
Speaker 1: three guys in this league that can own the sea gap,
Speaker 1: and he's one of them. Like just hey, we really
Speaker 1: scored here, guys. Do you understand we scored.
Speaker 3: Six guys, not seven guys. Three guys?
Speaker 1: Right, our guy can own the sea gap. Do you
Speaker 1: realize how great this is? Can you believe this is happening?
Speaker 1: Can you believe we have this? Like you know it's
Speaker 1: and and again just just watch watch how they play
Speaker 1: you know, watch Watch six O live. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how many games I called it's Stanford six O lineman,
Speaker 1: two tight ends, quarterback, full back, running back. Here we go.
Speaker 1: You know what we're doing. It's credit card alignment. You
Speaker 1: see where the strength is. It's power right, and you
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. And then we just got
Speaker 1: another twelve yards. So yeah, that's that's value. You know,
Speaker 1: he's one of the first guys they sign in free agency.
Speaker 1: That's what they needed. They needed the tight end that
Speaker 1: can block. And I think for look, I think this
Speaker 1: is a little bit different because I would have liked
Speaker 1: to have seen the Chargers have a competent blocking tight
Speaker 1: end the last three year they haven't. They have not
Speaker 1: had a competent blocking tight end since Hunter Henry. They
Speaker 1: tried with Trey McKitty. That's what they tried to make
Speaker 1: him into out of Georgia. He wasn't it. And so
Speaker 1: I am excited that that here's the staff that knows
Speaker 1: what they're looking for in that particular position and they
Speaker 1: feel like they got it. He talked about Ben Mason too.
Speaker 1: I know we're not gonna play that clip, but he
Speaker 1: talked about him as a full f you know, as
Speaker 1: an f that can you know, they can be that
Speaker 1: lead blocker that can find himself in the slot, that
Speaker 1: can catch balls out of the backfield, that can maybe
Speaker 1: play a little bit of tight end as well. But
Speaker 1: for the most part, he's just a straight full back
Speaker 1: that's you know, gonna gonna get after it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's what they've signed. It's all the again keep
Speaker 1: saying that all the signals are there. You can see
Speaker 1: what kind of team they're building. You can see what
Speaker 1: they value and where they're placing priority. And I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you, Chris, I think there. I
Speaker 1: think there's something I think there is something to the
Speaker 1: idea that that Jim Harbaugh just he's so competitive and
Speaker 1: he loves football so much. The idea that he can
Speaker 1: go into Kansas City and bully that team. I think
Speaker 1: he's just so enamored with that idea, like, Oh, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna just beat this team. We're gonna go in there,
Speaker 1: we're gonna punch him in the neck, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: put our foot on their neck and we're not gonna
Speaker 1: lift it. And they they have no idea what's coming
Speaker 1: to town. And I just think he's I just feel
Speaker 1: like the parallel is so I'm gonna say it again
Speaker 1: and second weekn arrivee Saturday. I apologize, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like that parallel was so similar to what he
Speaker 1: wanted to do to Pete Carroll when he got the
Speaker 1: Stanford took him a little Now, remember it took him
Speaker 1: a minute, took him a couple of years, but he
Speaker 1: had and it's different in college. You can't go back then.
Speaker 1: You couldn't, you know. It took him a couple of
Speaker 1: years to build it. But that's what his vision was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys gonna throw it around and get your five
Speaker 1: star quarterbacks and your fancy on the edges running backs
Speaker 1: and your wide receivers. Watch what I'm gonna do. And
Speaker 1: I think there's something very similar to what he wants
Speaker 1: to do, you know, and what he sees in the
Speaker 1: NFL right now and how people are playing offense.
Speaker 3: Bischoff mentioned that Disley could catch the ball too, he's
Speaker 3: got hands. Yeah, But this is what really impressed me.
Speaker 3: Here's what he said about hayden Hurst.
Speaker 4: You have a guy, hayden I mean to me, you
Speaker 4: have six guys in the league that everybody wants and
Speaker 4: you name the six you go with Kittle, you say
Speaker 4: wall Are, you name whoever you want? Everybody wants those
Speaker 4: six guys, Okay, And there's no reason that Hayden can't
Speaker 4: be that next guy, you know, there's no reason. He's
Speaker 4: got all the speed, all the hands, all the ability.
Speaker 4: Heyy just needs to find the right situation. And we
Speaker 4: knew when we had him in twenty nineteen that was
Speaker 4: the right situation for us. We couldn't control where it
Speaker 4: went from there. But we love the guy and we're
Speaker 4: nothing but happy to have this guy here. And he
Speaker 4: will provide that athletic element to this offense that gives
Speaker 4: us an opportunity.
Speaker 3: So he mentioned the top six guys that says hayden
Speaker 3: Hurst could be in that company, And I tell you
Speaker 3: he has the quarterback to get him the football. And
Speaker 3: we've seen Justin Herbert elevate so many different players. No
Speaker 3: reason to believe Hayden Hurst couldn't be a really good
Speaker 3: quality tight end with Justin Herbert thrown the football too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you, Chris, you know, I think people
Speaker 1: maybe forget like number one. He was the first round pick, right,
Speaker 1: So he's someone who evaluators believed could really play tight
Speaker 1: end in this league. There aren't a lot of tight
Speaker 1: ends that get drafted in the first round, and the
Speaker 1: last year was a bit of an anomaly. But I
Speaker 1: think it's actually no last year, we just had one, right,
Speaker 1: it was just Dalton and then everybody went in the
Speaker 1: second round, the Tucker Crafts and the daltonkin K and
Speaker 1: Musk Graves and all that. But but yeah, remember he
Speaker 1: was drafted before Mark Andrews, and it just so happened
Speaker 1: that Mark Andrews and Lamar Jackson had this incredible connection
Speaker 1: right away and it was clear that, oh, no, Mark
Speaker 1: Andrews is our guy. And I think that sort of,
Speaker 1: you know, relegated Hayden Hurst to the second you know,
Speaker 1: like just sort of the second option as far as
Speaker 1: past catching, when he was a little bit more of
Speaker 1: the physical tight end, you know, whereas Andrews was more
Speaker 1: just that straight kelsey like you know brand and you know,
Speaker 1: we went down to Atlanta when they traded him and
Speaker 1: immediately put up his best year down there. He ended
Speaker 1: up with I don't know, fifty plus catches, almost six
Speaker 1: hundred yards, six touchdowns. So he certainly has shown that
Speaker 1: he can he can be that receiving tight end. He's
Speaker 1: got the athletic, like coach Beichall said, he's got the
Speaker 1: athleticism and the ability to be that. It was just
Speaker 1: sort of you know, what he was asked to do
Speaker 1: in Baltimore and how Andrews just you know, they didn't
Speaker 1: realize what they had or they would have after him
Speaker 1: first and they're like, Okay, well this this is what
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna do, so you now have to kind
Speaker 1: of fill this lane. And clearly he was fine with
Speaker 1: it or almost Why would he resign with Greg Roman
Speaker 1: when he was the guy that put him in that box.
Speaker 3: Stone Smarts still in the room, Donald Parm's still in
Speaker 3: the room. I liked it. Bischoff said that clean slate
Speaker 3: for all those guys doesn't matter what you did last year,
Speaker 3: the year before, different system, different coaches, clean slate. So
Speaker 3: maybe those guys could take a step in this new
Speaker 3: regime and maybe this system will suit them better. Who knows.
Speaker 1: Also, and I want to say this real quick, Chris,
Speaker 1: is you know for the people that were thinking trade
Speaker 1: down brock powers, you know, I was just gonna say that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, sorry, you know, I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: jump in and take it from you. But I think
Speaker 1: I think the signal is, you know, they liked their room.
Speaker 1: They they believe they have, you know, high level. They
Speaker 1: got a high level blocking first, receiving second tight end
Speaker 1: and a high level receiving first, blocking second. And I
Speaker 1: don't mean as though they're deficient in the other category,
Speaker 1: but just that that's that's what they've got. So I
Speaker 1: don't know why you would invest a first round pick
Speaker 1: and a tight end when you feel like you've got
Speaker 1: two really good tight ends. The way the coach is
Speaker 1: talking about Hayden Hurst and Will Disley, they probably for
Speaker 1: all the needs of this team has that wouldn't necessarily
Speaker 1: fit what you would take in a first round pick
Speaker 1: unless he was graded so considerably higher than all those
Speaker 1: other positions that you would have available to you at
Speaker 1: Let's just say if you trade back pick eight, nine eleven,
Speaker 1: wherever that may be.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, like ten minutes after that conversation,
Speaker 3: I said, Okay, it doesn't sound like Broc Bauers is
Speaker 3: potentially in the plans there if they think so highly
Speaker 3: of Disley and Hurst, and then you know, maybe maybe
Speaker 3: parhum are still and Smart could get a little bit
Speaker 3: of a resurgence, so tight end.
Speaker 1: You never know.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of great fan questions last week.
Speaker 1: Money.
Speaker 3: The draft is on everybody's mind, and like I said,
Speaker 3: a lot of discussion online after the pod good discussion.
Speaker 3: I thought, because again, and I think it's almost like
Speaker 3: fifty five forty five, whatever decision you want to take
Speaker 3: it in terms of do you take a wide receiver
Speaker 3: at five or do you trade out and get extra picks?
Speaker 3: So I thought it would be fun. First of let
Speaker 3: me ask you this question. How far do you think
Speaker 3: you would go back if you were the Chargers? What's like,
Speaker 3: what's your max?
Speaker 1: Well, for me, it's so much about the compensation, and
Speaker 1: I think it's I think that's what people that what
Speaker 1: folks that are listening that I just I wish I
Speaker 1: had the answer. I don't. I don't know what their
Speaker 1: board looks like. How many first round grades do they have?
Speaker 1: Typically a team will have anywhere from fourteen to maybe
Speaker 1: max twenty two twenty three first round grades in any
Speaker 1: given draft, depending on how talented they feel like it
Speaker 1: is at the top. So normally you don't want to
Speaker 1: trade beyond a first round grade, don't want to get
Speaker 1: out of that and maybe you have in those first
Speaker 1: round grades, maybe you have a tier of seven players
Speaker 1: that are blue chip players you feel like a can't
Speaker 1: miss players, and now you don't want to get out
Speaker 1: of that window because you want to And remember when
Speaker 1: I say seven, they don't need a quarterback. So if
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks are going, seven would be pick eleven that
Speaker 1: you don't want to be back. You don't want to
Speaker 1: go beyond pick eleven because those are your seven blue
Speaker 1: stars or gold stars whatever their their color may be,
Speaker 1: blue chip, gold star, you name it. They have them all.
Speaker 1: Every team is different in their language that they use.
Speaker 1: So to me, that's that's sort of what you've got
Speaker 1: to figure out. And then you know, on top of that,
Speaker 1: it depends what kind of compensation are we talking about?
Speaker 1: Is it this year, is it next year, is it
Speaker 1: future years? And how do you want to build? Like
Speaker 1: think about think about the Cardinals and how they were
Speaker 1: able to maneuver it last year where at the time
Speaker 1: you're like, wow, you're trading out a three and you're
Speaker 1: getting a first next year. Well, now look at them,
Speaker 1: you know, now look at what the Cardinals have and
Speaker 1: what they might be staring at to rebuild this roster
Speaker 1: that was pretty frisky last year. Even though they lost
Speaker 1: a bunch of games, they were in a lot of them.
Speaker 1: So I think that's what it comes down to. Do
Speaker 1: you want capital this year because you really like this draft,
Speaker 1: or could it be the Bears that give you number
Speaker 1: nine and the only thing you get in addition to
Speaker 1: that is next year's one, and you would rather have
Speaker 1: that than a one and a two and a three
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. So I think so much
Speaker 1: of that comes into play of what's what's a team
Speaker 1: willing to give up, because it certainly sounds like they're
Speaker 1: gonna want a lot based on what the Harbaugh comments
Speaker 1: were at the owners meetings right that they view it
Speaker 1: as they could have the number one pick.
Speaker 3: I can't see them going past eleven because you have
Speaker 3: Denver in Vegas twelve and thirteen, and I think a
Speaker 3: trade with a division rival seems unlikely, especially because they're
Speaker 3: going to try to get a quarterback and it's probably
Speaker 3: gonna be JJ McCarthy and I'm not sure Jim's gonna
Speaker 3: watch j McCarthy in the AFC West. That's my only
Speaker 3: reasoning for that. But I figured let's just go through
Speaker 3: I thought, DJ and Bucky. You had Bucky on on
Speaker 3: the Belief Pod this week, right.
Speaker 1: He was great and he he look, the great thing
Speaker 1: about Bucky if you want to it's running on valleys.
Speaker 1: They run the heck out of it if you want
Speaker 1: to watch it, and then it's in pod form too.
Speaker 1: But the great thing about Bucky, and one of the
Speaker 1: great reasons why we wanted to put him on is
Speaker 1: you know, he's a coach. He's head coach. Granada Hills
Speaker 1: took him to the state championship game last year without
Speaker 1: passing the ball, running the ball, and he said, I,
Speaker 1: I'm doing this because of Jim Harbaugh. I watched the
Speaker 1: way he played at Stanford and that was my motivation.
Speaker 1: I said, I can't get the kids that these other
Speaker 1: schools in my conference are getting and in my league
Speaker 1: are getting, So how can I compete? And I realized, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna do it Jim Harbaugh did
Speaker 1: at Stanford, and I'm gonna bully him, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: build up my old line and I'm gonna make sure
Speaker 1: my kids are the toughest and we're going to play
Speaker 1: the most physical brand of football and these other teams
Speaker 1: are going to have to figure out a way to
Speaker 1: scheme for us differently than every other game on their schedule,
Speaker 1: and it presented a problem for them and went undefeated
Speaker 1: until the state championship game. So let that be a
Speaker 1: lesson for the people that are asking you, how can
Speaker 1: you can't not have a number one receiver. Bucky did
Speaker 1: not throw the ball in southern California in high school football.
Speaker 1: He didn't throw it once in the postseason. They just
Speaker 1: ran the ball and they went to the state championship games.
Speaker 1: So let that be a guide of how effective playing
Speaker 1: football when other people don't, you know, play the style
Speaker 1: of football, how it could be. So it's really great,
Speaker 1: you know, and just to put a button on that,
Speaker 1: you know. His his point was, I just I can't
Speaker 1: envision at Jim Harbaugh team's first draft pick being a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. It just doesn't line up with they how
Speaker 1: they think and how they operate these It's very hard
Speaker 1: for me to visualize. Yeah, that makes sense, We'll take
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. So everything is predicated on the old line.
Speaker 1: Everything that they do is built off of offensive line play.
Speaker 3: So they DJ and Bucky did a quarterback scenarios pod
Speaker 3: that I listened to is really good and kind of
Speaker 3: laid out what they think some of the teams that
Speaker 3: are selecting quarterbacks may do and kind of how they're thinking.
Speaker 3: And I thought, if you kind of put it from
Speaker 3: a Chargers perspective, the top eleven, there's there's gonna be
Speaker 3: movement all around the Chargers, which may dictate what they
Speaker 3: do at five. If somebody trades up with New England,
Speaker 3: if the Cardinals make a trade with Minnesota or somebody
Speaker 3: where Jayden Daniels goes, because maybe if Jaden Daniels goes
Speaker 3: to Washington, Vegas isn't going to try to trade up.
Speaker 3: But if Trake May goes to Washington, maybe Vegas tries
Speaker 3: to get to three because Antonio pears, you know, Jayden
Speaker 3: Daniels and wants him in silver and black. Another thing
Speaker 3: I thought about this week. I looked at Justin Herbert's
Speaker 3: completions this past season, and I think, at two hundred
Speaker 3: ninety seven completions, one hundred and ninety seven of them
Speaker 3: are out the door, like no Keenan, no Mike, no Gerald,
Speaker 3: no Austin. So if the Chargers did not stick and
Speaker 3: pick at five and take a neighbors or Harrison, who
Speaker 3: you would naturally just assume would be the number one
Speaker 3: option in an offense.
Speaker 1: Can't let you leave him out? Or dunsay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm almost thinking too that let's say Chicago wants
Speaker 3: to get Marvin Harrison at five and you flop with him,
Speaker 3: maybe a Doonsa's there at nine.
Speaker 1: You know, it'd be like host comfittely.
Speaker 3: So would you be comfortable going into this season with
Speaker 3: Joshua Palmer Quintin Johnson as the number one weapon or
Speaker 3: a Will Disley or a Hayden Hurst, because that's what
Speaker 3: it would essentially be, Or it would be a guy
Speaker 3: in the back half of the first round that you
Speaker 3: take a flyer on or the second round. And you know,
Speaker 3: for every aj Brown and Cook and Naku and Cooper Cup,
Speaker 3: there's a the Keil Harry and Jalen Rager and Kwan Treadwell,
Speaker 3: you know. So it's it's almost like you take the
Speaker 3: guesswork out of it if you pick a guy at five.
Speaker 3: So that's that's where I go back and forth about
Speaker 3: what they may do, because two quality wide receivers did leave,
Speaker 3: and I know that it's not necessarily the way Jim
Speaker 3: wants to play, but you do have to have talent
Speaker 3: on the outside to win the NFL, like the Chiefs
Speaker 3: have Travis Kelce and you know Rashi Rice came came alive.
Speaker 3: I think for them second round pick, you just got
Speaker 3: to make sure you hit on that second round pick.
Speaker 1: I guess right, Nico Collins third rounder, tankd Dell's second
Speaker 1: round or they just traded a fourth for Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1: Don't forget about the secondary free agent market that's coming
Speaker 1: after the draft, when teams assess or figure out who's
Speaker 1: available to them on their best if they're a best
Speaker 1: player available team. Now all of a sudden, they've got
Speaker 1: wide receivers they're bringing in. They're going to cut guys
Speaker 1: that cost a lot more because now they can be
Speaker 1: more cost effective, and those players are going to be available.
Speaker 1: Who knows what happens with Tyler Boyd T Higgins And
Speaker 1: again this all plays into the compensatory selection process. Remember,
Speaker 1: after the draft, it's different. Now you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about giving up selections in the compensatory formula. That's
Speaker 1: the first wave of free agency where all that stuff
Speaker 1: comes into play. So they're still free agents and teams
Speaker 1: that will be dusting guys after the draft post June
Speaker 1: one cuts that could end up on this team at
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. So in terms of wide receivers,
Speaker 1: the one thing that has changed so and this is
Speaker 1: this is a product of my years of doing fantasy
Speaker 1: football for the NFL Network. The old adage when we
Speaker 1: would do our draft shows going into the season. Like
Speaker 1: one of Michael Fabiano's like pillars of his football fantasy
Speaker 1: football philosophy was no first round wide receivers. It takes
Speaker 1: them a year to two to get going. They just
Speaker 1: they aren't ready in their rookie year. It's so rare
Speaker 1: to get that outline, to get that big rookie. See,
Speaker 1: that has changed so dramatically because football has changed so
Speaker 1: dramatically with the emergence of Friday night lights and seven
Speaker 1: on seven and kids just playing receiver, the best athletes
Speaker 1: playing receiver. It's all changed so much that there's don't
Speaker 1: think of it as like I look at it and
Speaker 1: I say, don't just think of it as we got
Speaker 1: to get one of these three guys. You don't know
Speaker 1: how close the grades are on these other You may
Speaker 1: think that they're okay if they're in this tier. And
Speaker 1: for those of you watching on YouTube. I've got my
Speaker 1: hand up here. Let's say this is where those three are,
Speaker 1: well maybe the next tier of Lad McConkie and Ricky
Speaker 1: piersoll and Brian Thomas and that maybe it's right here,
Speaker 1: maybe it's pretty close. And they're like, well, we have
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback, an incredibly elite quarterback. So it's different
Speaker 1: putting Ricky piersoll or Lad McConkie on the Chargers than
Speaker 1: it is in Carolina because Justin Herbert's throwing him the ball.
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, his evaluation is raised,
Speaker 1: and he's got a chance to be a number one
Speaker 1: and these and you look at what CJ. Stroud did
Speaker 1: for Nico Collins that Davis Mills couldn't. We weren't talking
Speaker 1: about Nico Collins is a number one receiver in this league. Now,
Speaker 1: guy's a freak show because he's got a freak show
Speaker 1: of a quarterback throwing him the football. Like Nico Collins
Speaker 1: is in the elite receiver category now because of how big,
Speaker 1: how strong, how good he is with contested catches, how
Speaker 1: fast his yak And that was a third round guy.
Speaker 1: So it's important to remember that the quarterback comes into
Speaker 1: play when evaluating my receivers and who's throwing them the
Speaker 1: football as opposed to just we're dropping Marvin Harrison or
Speaker 1: Roma Dounze or Elik Neighbors in here. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to see what it looks like. But Justin Herbert throwing
Speaker 1: the ball. So I think that's something that they're probably
Speaker 1: factoring in as as well.
Speaker 3: Let's go through the first eleven, right, Chicago win number one,
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. There's no discussion at this point, right Washington.
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll trade out. I think that they
Speaker 3: need to get their quarterback in the future.
Speaker 1: Just look at their roster like they're drafting a quarterback.
Speaker 3: Quarterback.
Speaker 1: New England's different because they have Kobe Brissette, who's a
Speaker 1: very capable starter in this league and could easily give
Speaker 1: you one or two, maybe two, maybe three years as
Speaker 1: a viable if you build up the defense and have
Speaker 1: a sound offensive line running game, Yeah, like I can
Speaker 1: win you games. So that is not Washington. They traded
Speaker 1: Sam Howe. They need a quarter Marcus Mario and it
Speaker 1: ain't starting games for them. They're drafting a quarterback.
Speaker 3: It's another thing that they dj brought up. There's a
Speaker 3: difference between a bridge quarterback and a backup quarterback. Mariota
Speaker 3: at this point's a backup quarterback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 3: The exact guy, that guy that they're drafting it too,
Speaker 3: is going to start it, probably will be Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 3: I feel like he makes a lot of sense for
Speaker 3: what they want to do. Cliff Kingsbury if it's not.
Speaker 3: This is where it gets interesting, and this is how
Speaker 3: it affects the Chargers. I think, what does New England do?
Speaker 3: Do they stick and pick or do they accrue a
Speaker 3: ton of capital and try to rebuild their roster, especially offensively.
Speaker 3: They got some pieces on defense, but offense was just
Speaker 3: a nightmare. The quarterback play was a nightmare. So if
Speaker 3: you're really high on a guy like Daniels or May,
Speaker 3: you could just stick and pick. But let's say the
Speaker 3: Commanders take Drake May instead of Jayden Daniels. That's where
Speaker 3: you know Minnesota Vegas. I don't know if Denver would
Speaker 3: move up, but like New England has a market now
Speaker 3: for that number three pick, and depending on who the
Speaker 3: quarterback is, man like that could really shake up the
Speaker 3: draft before we even get to Arizona.
Speaker 1: At for money, and it all just comes down to
Speaker 1: what their evaluation is of the quarterbacks. So it feels
Speaker 1: like a lot of people don't like Drake May in
Speaker 1: the in the media, that he's sliding a little bit.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what Elliott Woolf and Drod Mayo
Speaker 1: and Robert Kraft and how they view this particular collection
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. And then you have to factor in what
Speaker 1: is next year's quarterback class look like, what kind of
Speaker 1: season do we think we're gonna put together. We've got
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback of the future at some point.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Mac Jones. You tried to draft one of
Speaker 1: the first round and he's now in Jacksonville. It's not
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy. So Jacoby Brissett's great. He can start games
Speaker 1: for you, like I said, for this year, next year,
Speaker 1: but at some point, you're gonna have to address that position.
Speaker 1: So for them, it's just a matter of what's the
Speaker 1: evaluation they do. They view Drake May as a potential
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, Jayden Daniels as a potential franchise quarterback, JJ
Speaker 1: McCarthy as a potential franchise quarterback, or for that matter,
Speaker 1: Michael Pennitt's or bow Nicks, and can they trade back,
Speaker 1: get a haul and feel better about their pick because
Speaker 1: they like both. They've got bo Nicks or Michael Pennix
Speaker 1: or JJ McCarthy rated higher than Drake may or Jayden Daniels,
Speaker 1: and they're totally fine moving back to a spot where
Speaker 1: they can get them. The one thing I'll say about
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks, and this is something I've been covering the
Speaker 1: draft NFL Network forever. I would always hear over and
Speaker 1: over and over again, when you are in the market
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, you do not get cute. You don't say, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, we like McCarthy. More so, if we
Speaker 1: trade back with the Giants to number six, we can
Speaker 1: get it the guy. You get your guy. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if you get them at three. Look you don't
Speaker 1: like maybe you don't like Daniel Jones, and I can
Speaker 1: understand why you wouldn't folks listening and watching, But the
Speaker 1: Giants weren't messing around, like we're taking our guy. They
Speaker 1: could have got why they take them at six, They
Speaker 1: could have got them at third because he was their
Speaker 1: guy and they did not want to risk it, so.
Speaker 3: They doubled down and paid him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's the thing. Like that, when if they
Speaker 1: have a guy, whoever it may be, I don't think
Speaker 1: they're gonna get cute. If it's JJ McCarthy, they're taking
Speaker 1: them at three. If it's Bonix or Michael Pennix, they're
Speaker 1: not going to trade back far. They are not going
Speaker 1: to play around. So that's that's the one thing. And
Speaker 1: they look like a team that is interested in drafting
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I just don't know if they like any
Speaker 1: of the guys outside of Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3: So if Williams, Daniels, and May in some order go
Speaker 3: top three. Four is Arizona, and this is where maybe
Speaker 3: the Vikings or somebody tries to move up and gets
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy, maybe before the Chargers. But if they don't,
Speaker 3: and you laid out that scenario with the Cardinals last week,
Speaker 3: the only caveat I'd give to that is if they
Speaker 3: want to get cute and trade out of four and
Speaker 3: they want to get back in and get Marvin Harrison,
Speaker 3: guess what, I'm gonna put a Marvin Harrison text on you,
Speaker 3: and you're gonna give me an extra third, right, Like,
Speaker 3: if you want them that bad, we love them too, right,
Speaker 3: So like if you want to come back, you got
Speaker 3: to give us an extra third. Because you got him,
Speaker 3: you got the ammunition. So that's where I think, Okay,
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy territory, and that's also Marven Harrison Junior territory.
Speaker 3: I don't think that it's just quarterbacks in terms of
Speaker 3: teams that would trade up to get somebody. I think
Speaker 3: Barvin Harrison Junior is that type of player that other
Speaker 3: teams would be interested in maybe trading up for.
Speaker 1: I would imagine that, and I think I saw because
Speaker 1: I got tagged on a bunch of the tweets. But
Speaker 1: there was someone in Arizona that shared this scenario that
Speaker 1: we were talking about, and he shared it in a
Speaker 1: manner that like, hey, this is being discussed. I didn't
Speaker 1: know there. I just say, this seems to line up.
Speaker 1: It makes sense, right. Why would you not trade out
Speaker 1: a four if Minnesota wants to give up eleven and
Speaker 1: twenty three and you already have twenty seven, and then
Speaker 1: you can just trade eleven and twenty seven at the
Speaker 1: Chargers and go back and get the same guy you
Speaker 1: were going to draft. Anyway, It just makes perfect sense
Speaker 1: because eleven and twenty seven that's a premium that the
Speaker 1: charters are getting for the fifth pick. That's about an
Speaker 1: extra three hundred plus It's like three hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: plus points on the chart, So you're essentially getting a
Speaker 1: high third rounder for as a premium for them coming
Speaker 1: back up if you get picks eleven and twenty seven.
Speaker 1: So I saw all these people. You can't let the
Speaker 1: Cardinals do you like that? Tell them no way and that,
Speaker 1: and force Minnesota to trade with you instead, and force
Speaker 1: them to stay there and pick. And you got to remember,
Speaker 1: like these this isn't about spite. It isn't about who's
Speaker 1: who's getting one over on another. They're just individually wane.
Speaker 1: What is the fifth pick wor worth? And what are
Speaker 1: picks eleven and twenty seven worth or what are picks eleven,
Speaker 1: thirty six and seventy one worth the combined? How much
Speaker 1: value is in that versus keeping pick five. So that's
Speaker 1: how they don't care. If everybody wants to celebrate, you know,
Speaker 1: awesome Ford for what he did again, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: he's a master. He doesn't care about that. It's just
Speaker 1: worry about us. How often do you hear coaches say
Speaker 1: that we're worried about us, that you can worry about
Speaker 1: them and talk about about what they did here and
Speaker 1: how they signed this guy there. All we got to
Speaker 1: do is build our team. And if they feel like
Speaker 1: they're going to get a quality player at eleven and
Speaker 1: twenty seven that is of more value than the one
Speaker 1: player they would get it five, they're going to do it.
Speaker 1: Or if they want in that scenario, if they want
Speaker 1: eleven thirty thirty six, and yeah, they've been eleven thirty
Speaker 1: six and they have three threes, I believe they've got
Speaker 1: their They've got like their own the ones at like
Speaker 1: seventy one again night they got like six picks on
Speaker 1: the top of that or something crazy exactly. So there's
Speaker 1: any way for them to put it together to try
Speaker 1: to fill the holes on this roster. They have a lot.
Speaker 1: Only people realize how many holes they have to fill that.
Speaker 1: You know, they need a linebacker. They need an off
Speaker 1: ball linebacker. They need a big body in the middle
Speaker 1: of this defensive line. They need a legitimate defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: They need they need depth on the offensive line. They
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver. They need corners. They like there's
Speaker 1: a lot in drafting a wide receiver at five. So
Speaker 1: here's the here's the case for drafting the wide receiver
Speaker 1: at five. If your evaluation is gold star Hall of
Speaker 1: this is the best evaluation we have had on a
Speaker 1: player that's available to us in X number of years.
Speaker 1: How do you pass up on that? I think that's
Speaker 1: I know you want to play this way and but
Speaker 1: but hear me out, we can we can figure it out. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll find o' lineman, We'll find d Liman. We're gonna
Speaker 1: god knows coach at Michigan. You did it with three stars.
Speaker 1: You didn't do it with with five star blue chip
Speaker 1: Ohio state style recruiting classes. You you are good coaches.
Speaker 1: You're able to develop these guys. I'm telling you, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get someone that we have. This is the highest
Speaker 1: rating I've put on a wide receiver since Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: saying the Marvin Harrison is a legitimate X bust you up.
Speaker 1: You better commit two bodies to them on every single snap.
Speaker 1: Like that's possible that that that that could end up
Speaker 1: being the conversation. But I don't know if it is.
Speaker 1: So you know, there's it's not. It's not foolproof. It's not,
Speaker 1: it's not there's nothing certain about this.
Speaker 3: It's never never in the draft. That's that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 3: There's been so many misses in the top five ten quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Other position groups doesn't matter. But the further you get
Speaker 3: away from one, the more of a guess and gamble.
Speaker 3: I think it is. So if if you're at five
Speaker 3: and it's Harrison or Neighbors, and you believe that this
Speaker 3: is the safest bit you could possible you have, and
Speaker 3: you give this, this number one weapon to your your
Speaker 3: quarterback who's making a ton of money, and this guy's
Speaker 3: gonna be on a rookie deal for five years, It's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we could still play this way, we could still be
Speaker 3: physical and run the football, but it doesn't hurt to
Speaker 3: give our quarterback, you know, a generational weapon. And and
Speaker 3: that's I guess that would be the conversation of five money.
Speaker 3: Like if if they're forced to pick, can you envision
Speaker 3: them taking anything else other than Harrison our Neighbors.
Speaker 1: So here's I don't think they're going to be forced
Speaker 1: to pick. I think they're either going to say we're
Speaker 1: sticking because we got to take this person, we had
Speaker 1: to take this player, that the evaluation is too high,
Speaker 1: the gaps.
Speaker 3: To force isn't the wrong if they decide what you're sick?
Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it's they're they're sticking and they're going
Speaker 1: to pick the best player available. And to me, that's
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe it is Joald, maybe maybe he's got
Speaker 1: to hire Grade. So this is I hope this analogy works.
Speaker 1: This is the way I would describe it if in
Speaker 1: fact they're going to play football the way I think
Speaker 1: they're going to play it. Imagine you have two options.
Speaker 1: Someone is coming. You've got a nice kitchen. You cook
Speaker 1: every night, you cook three You don't like go into restaurants.
Speaker 1: You cook your meals at home. But your oven's not great,
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit extra long. You don't have
Speaker 1: the nicest you know, you don't have a great microwave,
Speaker 1: you don't have great cookwear. So your meals are good,
Speaker 1: but they're not great. And you've got someone that says, hey,
Speaker 1: I can come in. You use this thing every day,
Speaker 1: three meals a day, and I am going to make
Speaker 1: just this incredible rest five star restaurant level kitchen for
Speaker 1: you to cook in every day. However, for the same
Speaker 1: amount of money, there is a hell of a vacation
Speaker 1: property down on the beach in Cabo. You've got an
Speaker 1: ocean view and you've got an infinity pool. Now you're
Speaker 1: not going to use it a lot because you've got
Speaker 1: to work. You're only going to be able to go
Speaker 1: there three weeks a year. But you are going to
Speaker 1: have one of the most beautiful properties in Cabo that
Speaker 1: anybody in town has got. But you're only gonna use
Speaker 1: it three weeks a year. Or I'm gonna take that
Speaker 1: money and I'm gonna redo your kitchen and you're gonna
Speaker 1: use it three times a day, every single day.
Speaker 3: So well, Lake Neighbors is a time share. He's a
Speaker 3: time share.
Speaker 1: Exactly the way that they're playing football. He's three weeks vacation.
Speaker 1: The the O line, the D line, corners like they're
Speaker 1: every they're three meals a day. That's just that's the
Speaker 1: way they play it. And the idea to have neighbors
Speaker 1: or a doomsday or Harrison is, hey, you know what
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna need you justin we need you
Speaker 1: in this JJ. It's Alabama. Now, Okay, they got up
Speaker 1: on us. It's a tight game. We we've managed to
Speaker 1: hold them down. Defense is playing great. We've created some turnovers,
Speaker 1: but we need you get out there and make a
Speaker 1: play now because we're trailing and it's it's JJ McCarthy time,
Speaker 1: it's winning time, and I know you got it in you.
Speaker 1: And he went out and he made the plays and
Speaker 1: he had to. And that's what Jim Harbaugh was talking about.
Speaker 1: This guy's a winner and he sacrificed for the team
Speaker 1: and what's good for the hive is good for the
Speaker 1: b And we ran it thirty two straight times against
Speaker 1: Penn State because that's how we wanted to win. But
Speaker 1: when we needed him, we called on JJ and he
Speaker 1: want us to come. And I think that's maybe how
Speaker 1: you have to sort of visualize Justin Herbert, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's hey, justin And that's what Andy Bischoff said, right,
Speaker 1: that's what he said in his presser. We got to
Speaker 1: take something off this guy's plate. Man, you cannot put
Speaker 1: the weight of the world on him. Snap in and
Speaker 1: snap out, and you've got to throw it every time,
Speaker 1: and you've got to do the checks and you've got
Speaker 1: to no, hey man, kick back, relax, Let's run the ball,
Speaker 1: Let's play physical, Let's push these guys around. Let's have
Speaker 1: a fourteen play, eight minute drive. Against the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: go up seven to nothing. And now our defense with
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy that we took with the eleventh pick in
Speaker 1: the middle of the defensive line and Tulle and Joey
Speaker 1: and Khalil Mack is going to be firing off the
Speaker 1: ball on every single snap, you know, and and and like.
Speaker 3: That's it's just it's fascinating, man, it's fascinating what they
Speaker 3: can do. We don't know what. We haven't seen it,
Speaker 3: because you know, you you could throw a little bubble
Speaker 3: screen of elite neighbors and he could take it to
Speaker 3: the house like he's that explosive. Like you could still
Speaker 3: play that type of ball, but have somebody that you
Speaker 3: have to account for on the outside at all times
Speaker 3: and play action. And you know, it makes the running
Speaker 3: game even more deadly in my opinion, if you have
Speaker 3: somebody like that on the outside. So it's man, it's
Speaker 3: just it could go at five. It works both ways.
Speaker 1: At five.
Speaker 3: Six is another interesting spot because I think the Giants
Speaker 3: are probably in the elite neighbors Marvin Harrison market, but
Speaker 3: also maybe poking around a quarterback. And do they trade up?
Speaker 3: Do they trade up a couple of picks like you said,
Speaker 3: if they want ja Jim McCarthy and they don't think
Speaker 3: they can get them at six, do they kind of
Speaker 3: leapprog the Chargers and or you know, making sure that
Speaker 3: the Vikings don't get them. So like you have the
Speaker 3: Cardinals on one side, you have the Giants on the other,
Speaker 3: and you're trying to like visualize, like who are they
Speaker 3: going to take? Like the Cardinals could go in a
Speaker 3: variety of directions. The Giants they took Evan Neil, they
Speaker 3: took Andrew Thomas in the past over the past few years.
Speaker 3: Do they take another attack receiver? It does feel like
Speaker 3: wide receiver, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: If it's not a quarterback, it's wide.
Speaker 3: Do you hear what Lake Neighbors talking about? He goes, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they just got to get that quarterback situation figured out
Speaker 3: up there in New York. So little we'll see, uh,
Speaker 3: we'll see if malikas goods in New York. But at seven,
Speaker 3: it's it's Tennessee and I'm looking at potential trade partners
Speaker 3: and what certain teams may do. Would do they would
Speaker 3: they stick and pick Tennessee needs offensive linemen and you
Speaker 3: could probably get all at seven potentially.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or you know again, it's a deep offensive tackle class,
Speaker 1: so pick Field, it's not their number one. It could
Speaker 1: be Latham, it could be Fuaga, could be Fatanu, it
Speaker 1: could be Amarus Memphis. And even though he's only got
Speaker 1: eight starts, they love those eight starts. So that's they
Speaker 1: spent ninety two million bucks on Calvin Ridley. They drafted
Speaker 1: trailing Burke's in the first round two years ago. They
Speaker 1: paid Tony Pollard like they they drafted Will Levis. They
Speaker 1: believe in him. So to me, it's you better build
Speaker 1: that old line up. That's and that's kind of what
Speaker 1: we're talking about right with. It's like, yeah, great, you've
Speaker 1: got all these things, but you can't block for s,
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna get to use them. Tony Pollard
Speaker 1: is not gonna be able to run through any lanes
Speaker 1: because they're not open. And you've got no time to
Speaker 1: throw the ball to Calvin Ridley because you can't block
Speaker 1: the edges. So what does it matter what ye does
Speaker 1: to show his weapons? So that's that's that that seems
Speaker 1: to be, like the consensus is that's an offensive that's
Speaker 1: an offensive line pick right there, guaranteed.
Speaker 3: At eight, Atlanta took care of the quarterback with Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 3: You draft to Kyle Pitts, so no Brock Bowers. You
Speaker 3: drafted Drake London, so no rom with doings. Let's say
Speaker 3: this may be maybe first defensive player off the board
Speaker 3: territory or offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: I could see maybe I'm just going to there, going
Speaker 1: to their depth. They're are lads right now. Jake Matthews
Speaker 1: getting a little old in year ten at left tackle.
Speaker 1: They obviously they've they have always invested in O line heavily.
Speaker 1: So that's an interesting one there. How much time do
Speaker 1: they believe they have in Jake Matthews. With Jake Matthews,
Speaker 1: he's still pretty darn good. They got the receivers in
Speaker 1: Drake London, they signed Darnell Mooney, they traded for ron
Speaker 1: Daell Moore. We obviously know Bijeon is a stud. They're
Speaker 1: tight ends, Kyle Pitts, even Warner was pretty darn good
Speaker 1: as a blocking tight end. So good there. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you're probably right. I think you start looking at
Speaker 1: the edges and that makes sense. Maybe it's Dallas Turner,
Speaker 1: maybe it's Jared Verse, or you know, it could be
Speaker 1: a corner, certainly could be corner. H j Terrell's damn good.
Speaker 1: They drafted him in the first round, but they could
Speaker 1: use a second You can always use corners, so that
Speaker 1: could be the number one corner if they really like
Speaker 1: Terry and Arnold or Quinnon Mitchell. But yeah, that to
Speaker 1: me looks like it'll be defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 3: Then at nine the Bears they could stick or if
Speaker 3: they really wanted to just give Caleb Williams just a
Speaker 3: plethora of weapons.
Speaker 1: I guess the question is how much time do you
Speaker 1: think Keenan has left?
Speaker 3: Yeah, keen there for a year?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is it one year? Then? Okay, then then wide
Speaker 1: receiver makes sense if a Dunees's sitting there, but they
Speaker 1: need help, they need another end. They so if Dallas
Speaker 1: Turner or Jared Verse are sitting there, they got to
Speaker 1: pair somebody with Montese sweater. They're just going to gang
Speaker 1: up on him with tight ends and backs to try
Speaker 1: to neutralize him. They could use you know that, That
Speaker 1: to me, that makes sense. It's like it's not all
Speaker 1: about I know you want Caleb to have the best
Speaker 1: possible introduction, but man, he's got solid old line, he's
Speaker 1: got DeAndre Swift, and he's got Cole Kamett, who's that
Speaker 1: damn good tight end. He's got DJ Moore, who is
Speaker 1: a legit number one receiver, and if he's your number one,
Speaker 1: Keenan's in the conversation is one of the best number
Speaker 1: twos in the league. So it's got Gerald Everett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: scot Gerald Everett is a second tight end. Like pretty
Speaker 1: good there, Swift pretty well covered. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 3: Ten would be the Jets, and this could be brock
Speaker 3: Bauers territory. They could go offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: They could pick a thing, Brock Bowers, Brock Brown, Like,
Speaker 1: do you guys not realize that Layl line is terrible?
Speaker 1: Like that Aaron Rodgers is forty and has a blown achilles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Tyron Smith. This is a one year, one
Speaker 3: year project for Tyron Smith.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, yeah, they signed Tyron Smith, they
Speaker 1: signed Morgan Moses. They're both great. If they're healthy, they're
Speaker 1: really really good. But man, guys get hurt, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate that they invet And that's I guess where the
Speaker 1: thinking with Bowers comes in is they sign Mike Williams
Speaker 1: perennially hurt. They've got Garrett Wilson, legitimate number one, Breis
Speaker 1: Hall legit, elite running back. I get all of that.
Speaker 1: And maybe this is where the whole Andy Bischoff conversation
Speaker 1: comes in, right, the you know we care about O line, Well,
Speaker 1: if you do, then invest in it. Put a draft
Speaker 1: pick on it. Jets, You've got elite tackles available to you.
Speaker 1: You know all the names we just mentioned, take your pick.
Speaker 1: It could be Alt, it could be Fuaga, Latham, you
Speaker 1: know whatever, they go ahead and get brock Bauers. It's
Speaker 1: like now they need a tight end. So totally possible.
Speaker 1: And I and I'm a you. We've talked about brock
Speaker 1: Bowers enough. You know, I love the guy. I think
Speaker 1: he's a freaking stud and it's going to be a
Speaker 1: stud in this league. But you know, Aaron Rodgers is forty,
Speaker 1: he's got a busted Achilles. The idea that you're gonna take.
Speaker 3: He doesn't like. He doesn't like rookies anyway, right, he
Speaker 3: historically doesn't like thrown to rule.
Speaker 1: Right, So Hecky made him sign Randall Cobb and Alan Lazard,
Speaker 1: who were got awful last year. I mean Lazard was terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible last year. So yeah, but yeah, I could see
Speaker 1: brock Bauers because he's that good, he's that good of
Speaker 1: a player. He's gonna be. Don't let the stupid photos
Speaker 1: fool you. Rob Gronkowski's a freak, complete freak of nature.
Speaker 1: So brock Bauer is gonna be a really really good
Speaker 1: tight end in this league, really good weapon. I should
Speaker 1: say he's more of an offensive weapon than anything else.
Speaker 3: Finally, eleven, this is where we think the Chargers could
Speaker 3: probably it's probably the most likely scenario, right, the Vikings
Speaker 3: move up.
Speaker 1: It's pretty clean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty clean, and at eleven you could miss
Speaker 3: out on a dune's day. But this is where you
Speaker 3: could pick your tackle, you could pick your corner, you
Speaker 3: could pick your edge. There's a lot of options here.
Speaker 3: And then if you have twenty seven to who's the
Speaker 3: same money? Like, listen, I know that you need as
Speaker 3: many bodies as possible. But if if somebody like Fuaga
Speaker 3: like starts slipping a little bit just because of there's
Speaker 3: a run on somebody and it's you know, eighteen nineteen,
Speaker 3: and you want to move up seven or eight spots,
Speaker 3: like who's to say you don't flip a third a
Speaker 3: future third or you know, a pick this year to
Speaker 3: get the guy that you want so I look at
Speaker 3: eleven and twenty seven as okay, yeah, you take best
Speaker 3: player available at eleven twenty seven. You know, I'm not
Speaker 3: married to kind of sticking and pick it at twenty seven. Like,
Speaker 3: if you see a guy who's kind of slipping down
Speaker 3: the draft board and you have a first round, great
Speaker 3: on them, you know, do what you can to get them.
Speaker 1: Right, Let's look the team. The team is more than
Speaker 1: a wide receiver away. I think that's the most important
Speaker 1: thing to remember. They need They've got a lot of needs.
Speaker 1: And so it's not just what they do at five
Speaker 1: or if they trade back, it's not just what they
Speaker 1: pick at eleven. It's they need to hit in this draft.
Speaker 1: They need to hit their second round or they need
Speaker 1: to hit their third rounder. Those are your money picks, man,
Speaker 1: those are starters on most teams. You know, you've got
Speaker 1: to get a two lead twoy Polo two and in
Speaker 1: the second round you've got to hit on these guys.
Speaker 1: And so so many people are focused on five, and
Speaker 1: I think it's it's more, Okay, what can we get
Speaker 1: at thirty seven? What is there? Still? Are we still
Speaker 1: in the corner game? Are we still in a starting
Speaker 1: corner position, What kind of linebacker might be available? How
Speaker 1: good is you know of a of a linebacker might
Speaker 1: be available at thirty seven, because we need to add
Speaker 1: to that room. Like it goes. Everybody is so focused
Speaker 1: on the first round pick without realizing the best pick
Speaker 1: that the Chargers had last year was a second and
Speaker 1: a fourth. You know, their fourth rounder was an All
Speaker 1: Pro returner and their second rounder was one of the
Speaker 1: best rookie defensive linemen in the in the entire draft class.
Speaker 1: So don't don't get too singularly focused on five. Start
Speaker 1: looking through this draft and think about where we get
Speaker 1: in corners, where's the linebacker coming from? Where's they need
Speaker 1: d lineman? They they need they need a center, they
Speaker 1: need they need guards, they need tackles. Like there's there's
Speaker 1: a lot that this team needs. So it's and that's
Speaker 1: why to me, the trade down if if you can
Speaker 1: add start you know when, so you know what we're
Speaker 1: talking about, Like you were talking about the safety idea
Speaker 1: of it. Right, if you pick it five, that's the
Speaker 1: safe pick, right, like, hey, this is the highest we have, Okay,
Speaker 1: but what if you get a two and a three
Speaker 1: if instead of the two, or or you get the two. Well,
Speaker 1: now I got two bites at the apple. Now I
Speaker 1: got two shots at getting a starter, or now maybe
Speaker 1: I have three shots. Can I get two starters out
Speaker 1: of my three picks? And now that's kind of how
Speaker 1: you start to build this roster out. So that's that's
Speaker 1: that's why there's so many different ways they can skin it.
Speaker 1: And it's it's not just necessarily taking one blue chip
Speaker 1: player because you don't want to run the risk, or
Speaker 1: let's not run the risk and take three bytes at
Speaker 1: the apple, and that way we got a better shot
Speaker 1: than one of them, because God knows, you know, just
Speaker 1: just look at the Rams. Look at what they've been
Speaker 1: able to do with twos and threes and fours and
Speaker 1: fives and Kyrin Williams and Pooka Nakua and Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: and like they have hit. That is how they didn't
Speaker 1: go from being what I thought was a team that
Speaker 1: was going to tank and one of the one of
Speaker 1: the worst, most inexperienced rosters in the league last year.
Speaker 1: So the playoffs and damn near a playoff win because
Speaker 1: they hit on their picks, those middle round picks, you know.
Speaker 1: And so that's they got to hit on the running back,
Speaker 1: and they.
Speaker 3: Gotta hit on the running back. I was gonna say,
Speaker 3: you know, that's like that Isaiah Spiller was a pict that.
Speaker 3: You know, Josh mc kelly fourth round or Isaiah Spiller
Speaker 3: fourth round er. We didn't get anything out of him.
Speaker 1: JT.
Speaker 3: Lewys hasn't got haven't gotten anything out of him.
Speaker 1: Right, those are thirds and fourths. You gotta hit on those.
Speaker 3: They have to start. They have to start in this league.
Speaker 3: And right, you know, running back is another position. I
Speaker 3: was listening to the Athletic Pot with Daan Brugler this week.
Speaker 3: They talk about you know, Korum and Allen and and
Speaker 3: Dane says something very interesting. He said that, you know,
Speaker 3: in talking to everybody around the league that the order
Speaker 3: of how teams have running backs is all over the board.
Speaker 3: Like Blake korumb could be the second running back off
Speaker 3: the board in one team's eyes and the seventh in
Speaker 3: another team's eyes. That's how it is. That's how I
Speaker 3: have the beholder it is. So it's really about fit
Speaker 3: in finding the guy that's going to make the most
Speaker 3: sense for this offense, and you can't afford not to
Speaker 3: hit on him. And you know, maybe this is the
Speaker 3: year that we do see something at Isaiah Spiller.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We didn't see em in a game hardly at all
Speaker 3: over over two years.
Speaker 1: So maybe he gets some run, who knows, or maybe
Speaker 1: they're just waiting for post draft so there's no compensatory
Speaker 1: pick attached to it, and it's JK. Dobbins and they're
Speaker 1: just waiting like, hey man, we got you. Here's what
Speaker 1: the number is going to be. If you're good with it,
Speaker 1: wait till after the draft when the compensatory pick goes
Speaker 1: out the window, and we'll sign you. And maybe that's
Speaker 1: what they'll do. Like that's that's the whole thing is
Speaker 1: there's still gonna be a ton of free agents available
Speaker 1: that you can try to build depth and stock this
Speaker 1: roster with the players that fit the philosophy that you
Speaker 1: want to operate under. But just to reiterate that point,
Speaker 1: as you know, you kind of built on it there, Chris.
Speaker 1: They they need they need starters. They need to they
Speaker 1: need to do what Baltimore did in the third round
Speaker 1: with their defensive interior. You know, their interior lineman on
Speaker 1: defense like Matta bk was a third rounder. That's the
Speaker 1: kind of that's the kind of hit they need. It's
Speaker 1: a Kobe Turner for the Rams. Yep, like Young Turner,
Speaker 1: Like think about those are second young as a second rounder,
Speaker 1: a third rounder. Turner was a third rounder. Kyraen Williams
Speaker 1: was a fifth rounder. Like dude there Avila was a
Speaker 1: second rounder. Like, you got to hit on those guys,
Speaker 1: That's what you got to hit on. That's and that's
Speaker 1: really where a lot like look, Harry, look at this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through it for you want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Here's what you're contending with. Chiefs. Mike Dana was a fifth,
Speaker 1: Derek Noddy a third, Chris Jones a second. We know,
Speaker 1: Carl Lofti's was a first, Nick Bolton second, Chanal third.
Speaker 1: You know, Trent McDuffie was the twenty fifth pick in
Speaker 1: the draft. Like, they hit on all those defensive picks,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't just ones, it was twos, threes, fours,
Speaker 1: and fives that they were able to hit on that
Speaker 1: that basically saved them. You know that, that's that that's
Speaker 1: how they won the Super Bowl last yeary rode the defense.
Speaker 1: It was not humming, Yeah, it was the defense. And
Speaker 1: you know what, like the fact that they got Creed
Speaker 1: Humphrey in the second Tray Smith in the sixth. That's
Speaker 1: what saved them. Their tackles were terrible last year. Donovan
Speaker 1: Smith was okay, but Orlando Why am i? Orlando Brown
Speaker 1: was not good. Juwan Taylor was terrible. The interior of
Speaker 1: their line that they drafted in the second and sixth
Speaker 1: round is what saved them, Humphrey and Smith. So like,
Speaker 1: those are the picks you gotta hit on, you know.
Speaker 3: Dj DJ brought this up about the quarterbacks too.
Speaker 1: Once.
Speaker 3: Once you start making big money in this league, your
Speaker 3: weapons they go away, like Tyreek Hill had to go
Speaker 3: away in Kansas City. Stefan Diggs just went away in Buffalo.
Speaker 3: So it's up to Justin, like you said, like Justin.
Speaker 3: The hope is he doesn't have to put the team
Speaker 3: on his back for eighty percent of the time. But
Speaker 3: when it's winning time in its fourth quarter and you
Speaker 3: got to make play, Justin Herbert, you get and paid
Speaker 3: money to make a play and win a game. The
Speaker 3: number one option right now would be guess Joshua Palmer.
Speaker 3: We put josh Is our wide receiver one right now.
Speaker 1: And in Los Angeles, yeah, absolutely, I mean he's Quentin's
Speaker 1: not better than he is. Yeah, but which is why
Speaker 1: they're not done. But they've said that, like every coach
Speaker 1: has said that they're not that. He said it, like
Speaker 1: we're not done that that that wide receiver room.
Speaker 3: Is whether whether it's at five or second round or
Speaker 3: free agency. Yeah, it doesn't even like that's it.
Speaker 1: Look if it's Ricky Piersoll or Lad McConkey or Roman
Speaker 1: Wilson or like there's other players ad Mitchell Xavier Worthy
Speaker 1: to get that four to two speed to take the
Speaker 1: top off and just run him down the field. And
Speaker 1: now Quentin's operating under and Josh Palmer can be the
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get a little juice on the field too.
Speaker 3: Maybe the year's days play little offense. Remember that one
Speaker 3: game against the the Raiders where I think he had
Speaker 3: like a sixty yard run first drive, Like they kind
Speaker 3: of got him going, kellenm moore got him going, Like
Speaker 3: you know, maybe he's maybe he's a piece that they
Speaker 3: can use it on the offense this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, And I'm just to kind of
Speaker 1: put a put an exico measure, put a punctuation to
Speaker 1: punctuate it. Drake Greenlaw fifth round, Fred Warner third round,
Speaker 1: Hafonga fifth round. Like, those are high level starters on
Speaker 1: a super Bowl caliber defense that they're getting in Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel second round, Brandon Ayuk was a late first rounder.
Speaker 1: So you just got to hit. It's it. You just
Speaker 1: got to hit on those picks. So it's not about
Speaker 1: number five, it's about all nine and really it's about
Speaker 1: your right now, they have two fours, so let's call it,
Speaker 1: let's call it five picks that right now that they
Speaker 1: have the two fours, the three, the two in the
Speaker 1: one got to hit on. Yeah, at least three of
Speaker 1: them he got.
Speaker 3: I think he had to get four starters out of
Speaker 3: those first five picks. Like, you gotta find a way, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to find start not immediate, but by
Speaker 1: the end of the year. By the end of the year.
Speaker 1: These are players that have assimilated to the system, that
Speaker 1: are playing at a high enough level. You've developed enough
Speaker 1: to where if they're not starting their rotation players and
Speaker 1: they're getting significant snaps. Yeah, it's not dyone Henley in
Speaker 1: the third special teams only, it's significant snaps.
Speaker 3: Well, that's another guy like Henley's gonna have to He's
Speaker 3: gonna have to take a step this year, Like he's
Speaker 3: on this roster a third round pickment, Like we wanted
Speaker 3: to see him start last year, Like he's gonna have
Speaker 3: to make some hay this year.
Speaker 1: I go back.
Speaker 3: I've gone back off to this class of twenty eighteen
Speaker 3: and like when the Charges were twelve and four, Like
Speaker 3: big reason why they won was obviously Darwin was an
Speaker 3: All Pro his rookie season. Justin Jackson, a seventh round
Speaker 3: pick who won them the game in Pittsburgh and in
Speaker 3: Kansas City had a touchdown. Chenna Chenna second round pick,
Speaker 3: second round pick, Monsteron Jones, second rounder Justin Jones started
Speaker 3: in that Baltimore game on the road wild card. Like,
Speaker 3: like that class from top to bottom contributed to the
Speaker 3: success of the team. Kaizer got Kaizer was starting at
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year before he got hurt, you know.
Speaker 3: So like that was a really good class and a
Speaker 3: big reason why the team was able to get to
Speaker 3: twelve and four. Obviously you had a lot of talented veterans,
Speaker 3: but like guys made plays throughout the course of a season,
Speaker 3: a sixteen game season. Yeah, time, So that's the beauty
Speaker 3: of this team, is it? Like it's very incomplete, right, now.
Speaker 3: But there's gonna be guys who have their name called
Speaker 3: over that weekend that are going to contribute it a
Speaker 3: huge way for this team in twenty twenty four. It's
Speaker 3: gonna be exciting to see man two weeks, Chris, two
Speaker 3: weeks two. We can stop talking about it, frankly, two weeks. Frankly,
Speaker 3: I wish it was one week. I wish it was
Speaker 3: one week away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not me. I'm gonna be in Hawaii. So two weeks.
Speaker 3: Oh, are you going to Hawaii?
Speaker 1: Going to Hawaii?
Speaker 3: I mean you should get a day, you should get
Speaker 3: a week off from the pod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right. I'll put in my seven
Speaker 1: days right now, put.
Speaker 3: It in your seven days. I'll get a guest.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love to have you, but like I'll
Speaker 1: be come on, we can maybe figure it out. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can maybe we can figure something out. We'll figure
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be the last pod prior to the well, actually, no,
Speaker 1: I guess technically Thursday will do a pod prior or
Speaker 1: maybe we'll do it on Wednesday prior to the draft. Anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should probably we should probably do one that Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, Well, now we'll do it Thursday from
Speaker 1: the from the draft party, so we'll actually do it
Speaker 1: post first round. I guess we'll figure it out. That'd
Speaker 1: be a good one. Figure it out. I'll see how
Speaker 1: my Loha is feeling a week from today and whether
Speaker 1: or not I'm here when you get back Sunday.
Speaker 3: Sunday, Okay, yeah, you talk offline.
