Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast. We'll need some time to
Speaker 1: adapt to the pro game. Welcome back to another of
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast. My name is Dan Hansis,
Speaker 1: and I am joined by a room filled with heroes,
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Roseathal. What's up, boys, Hey, Dan?
Speaker 1: Out of excitement in the room in the building, Cesslor's
Speaker 1: wearing the same shirt I've seen him in a few
Speaker 1: times in a row. It's a big day, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: not even supposed to be here. It's my day off.
Speaker 1: Set Mark here on this day off, and we you know,
Speaker 1: we're thankful for that because it is a special show. Uh.
Speaker 1: That is Draft week, folks. It is finally upon us.
Speaker 1: The NFL Draft begins Thursday night in Chicago. This is
Speaker 1: Chris's last show from Los Angeles this week tomorrow. He
Speaker 1: gets on the jet plane. He sits in the back
Speaker 1: row by himself and just starts digging through transcripts and
Speaker 1: scout footage and game highlights. And you use your start.
Speaker 1: It's basically your crash course now as you get ready
Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft, Right, Chris, I think that's accurate.
Speaker 1: Cram for this exam on the on the airplane, and
Speaker 1: you'll be joined by, of course, Kevin Patra, who is
Speaker 1: known throughout time for fisticuffs. So again, be careful less here.
Speaker 1: You're grown man. You gotta resist the temptation. He's the
Speaker 1: youngest guy in our crew, right, I wasn't the one
Speaker 1: who got slapped in the face last night? WHOA Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: West and I went on a Sunday I'd call it
Speaker 1: a date. Was it a date? People? Yeah? And West
Speaker 1: has a very lively female roommate that decided to slap
Speaker 1: me in the face at some point, and I can
Speaker 1: can you were there? I said nothing on to or.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it. It was completely uncalled for,
Speaker 1: but I think she was just feeling the moment and
Speaker 1: she just decided it would be fun too. Strangely, Greg,
Speaker 1: no one knows exactly what happened though, it's almost like
Speaker 1: there was some foggy This foggy thats involved must have
Speaker 1: said something, right, nothing negative, the only positive words coming.
Speaker 1: And on a guy that has like a slappable face.
Speaker 1: People get slap for saying positive things to peoples under
Speaker 1: the bus. He's not gonna be a witness. I let
Speaker 1: it just started laughing. I couldn't believe it happened. Uh.
Speaker 1: So Mark's here despite being assaulted by a woman, uh yesterday.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get into some draft talk, a lot
Speaker 1: of draft talk um, including one feature that just went
Speaker 1: up recently on nfl dot com. Six Draft Day trades
Speaker 1: we love to see. We're going to get into that
Speaker 1: might not hit all six, but we're gonna certainly Greg
Speaker 1: hit between three. Yeah, I was probably at least four.
Speaker 1: Then at least someone probably sits out the segment we'll see.
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason to listen on. You never
Speaker 1: know what could happen. Also, we're gonna bring it back, folks.
Speaker 1: One of our favorite games, both in the studio and
Speaker 1: and our fans we know love Go get your lunch,
Speaker 1: Go get my lunch, Go get my lunch, fella. Uh
Speaker 1: the game where we each make predictions and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity to take someone on that and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. And if you're right and you
Speaker 1: get that person is wrong, they gotta go get you
Speaker 1: a lunch. And it's usually a sandwich byway, Go get
Speaker 1: to go get my lunch dot org. That's what people
Speaker 1: should be go getting great site. One of our favorite
Speaker 1: listening listeners, Nick Fortier, I believe it's pronounced, came up
Speaker 1: with an awesome site, Go get my lunch dot org.
Speaker 1: It keeps track of all the Oh my god, that website.
Speaker 1: It honestly is incredible. It's funnier than like anything we've
Speaker 1: ever produced. It's terrific. The only thing I'd say about it.
Speaker 1: There is a shot that says, here's the entire around
Speaker 1: the NFL crew and our editor downstairs, Ali bun Party
Speaker 1: is tucked in the photo. What's I mean he's he's
Speaker 1: tucked in there. People probably think it's TV. They don't
Speaker 1: know who you know, they don't know who it is. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: great website, Nick, so make sure you checked that out.
Speaker 1: Sessler's feeling the heat, by the way, because it has
Speaker 1: all of our all time records and Cessler is the
Speaker 1: only man under right now. Well, I started very ill,
Speaker 1: but i've last segment and I kicked some serious you didn't.
Speaker 1: And I was trying to figure out how how are
Speaker 1: Dan West and I all over five? We're all pretty
Speaker 1: closely exactly. T D and gold Standard have never won. Also,
Speaker 1: Z Drizzle with the over five ZI Drizzle, the sacrificial lamp.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna play that game, which we
Speaker 1: we all love, so we're excited about that. But before
Speaker 1: any of that, here it is, folks. It is um
Speaker 1: oh one other thing. I gotta get this out here
Speaker 1: before we throw it to the gold standard. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: big day for the around the NFL team fellas are verified. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dan has been leading verified on Twitter Blue check. Come
Speaker 1: on ride that train, Come on and ride it. Most
Speaker 1: of the response on Twitter was aimed at Dan because
Speaker 1: I think they sensed this was a huge, huge moment.
Speaker 1: Was Dan's psyche level of desperation that people saw through.
Speaker 1: Dan has been pushing for this really for years, Like
Speaker 1: I'll ask Dan to do something and we'll get me verified. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you when I get verified. He he
Speaker 1: basically hasn't considered himself a human until Twitter could verify
Speaker 1: it for him. And bull disclosure. Also, well over a
Speaker 1: year ago, I privately was messaging with one of our
Speaker 1: social media team members looking to get verified, just myself
Speaker 1: to use it as podcast fodder, to throw it at
Speaker 1: you guys. And that's how the machine, the corporate machine
Speaker 1: works ended up taking over a year and we all
Speaker 1: got verified, which is ultimately what I wanted, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to make the first one. I sent it to
Speaker 1: my wife, this is how meaningless this really is. And
Speaker 1: I sent a little screen capture of my name with
Speaker 1: the blue check and she rubbed act. She's like, question mark, what,
Speaker 1: I don't get it? What happened here? Yeah? I did.
Speaker 1: There was a I thought it would make me feel
Speaker 1: more whole, but actually I felt more hollow than ever,
Speaker 1: as I still just was staring at that blue check mark,
Speaker 1: and it was almost like laughing at me, like it
Speaker 1: meant this much to you? Now what? Mad Men season seven.
Speaker 1: Connor Orr, who also got a check mark, compared it
Speaker 1: to that scene in Up in the Air when George
Speaker 1: Clooney finally meets the pilot after getting the club, and
Speaker 1: I thought that was that was apt? Did hey, did
Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick get one? Yeah? Of course that would have
Speaker 1: been awkward. There would have definitely have been some aggressiveness
Speaker 1: in Chicago if it was only Kevin. All right, here
Speaker 1: we go, the gold standard behind the glass wearing a hat.
Speaker 1: This is his last week with us before he goes
Speaker 1: on to bigger and probably better things. But I don't
Speaker 1: have a check mark. So no check mark. Your life
Speaker 1: is not laid out for you. Um, how are you doing, buddy, great? Great,
Speaker 1: have it. Let's do some news. Let's do it. It
Speaker 1: does feel a little different though, feeling you know what
Speaker 1: I'm noticing by this? How come in and Mark both
Speaker 1: have the NFL logo next to their heads. But I
Speaker 1: can tell you we were founding around the league writers
Speaker 1: recognized the founding fathers. All right, here we go, let's
Speaker 1: start and do some news. The Dallas Cowboys are not
Speaker 1: in the running for Adrian Peterson is according to NFL
Speaker 1: media insider Ian Rappaport, who said uh on Sunday night's
Speaker 1: edition of NFL Total Access that the thirty year old
Speaker 1: running back will play for the Vikings or no one
Speaker 1: at all. That's that's the word coming out of Minnesota
Speaker 1: right now. Um. Rapport did add that if there's one
Speaker 1: team that could still work its way into the mix,
Speaker 1: it is the Cardinals, who we've we've talked about a
Speaker 1: lot as a potential suitor. UM and the Bucks and
Speaker 1: Jags on the periphery but not seen as serious contenders. Surprise, surprise, there,
Speaker 1: you know, Jaguars. Let's calm down, guys, it was all right,
Speaker 1: you put up the billboard for de Marco Murray and
Speaker 1: that was cute. You're not gonna get Adrian here, He's
Speaker 1: gonna go there. They're gonna send him there anyway. Guys,
Speaker 1: your thoughts Adrian Peterson, Cowboys, all that talk for nothing, Well,
Speaker 1: we don't know that yet. To me, I read this
Speaker 1: as the down you just said. He noted that if
Speaker 1: one team could do it, it would be the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and that's something to keep an eye on in round two,
Speaker 1: maybe the second day of the draft. To me, this
Speaker 1: is the Vikings saying more clearly than ever that we're
Speaker 1: not trading him. If you want to send us a
Speaker 1: godfather after like tough, tough luck, Adrian Peterson, if you
Speaker 1: don't want to play for us, could it changed? I mean,
Speaker 1: Dallas clearly, I think they're top candidate to draft a
Speaker 1: running back in round one. If it's Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley.
Speaker 1: If if those guys for some reason, we're gone by
Speaker 1: the time they hit the clock, could that change things?
Speaker 1: If I was looking for the best package and return
Speaker 1: for Adrian Peterson, I would do exactly what Spielman's doing
Speaker 1: and saying he's off the table, like you said, give
Speaker 1: me a Godfather offer and maybe I'll reconsider like Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey and Wolf of Walsh treat when he's explaining uh
Speaker 1: to Leo DiCaprio and the building in the restaurant like that,
Speaker 1: you know what he's doing. It's all ferry dust. That
Speaker 1: was what I feel like all the Cowboys talked without
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson was we talked how much? How much do
Speaker 1: we talk about Peterson? The Cowboys been connected, how many
Speaker 1: people wrote about it, including us. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it never really made too much sense when
Speaker 1: you think about it. To Marco Murray left because they
Speaker 1: don't want to pay him, that they were going to
Speaker 1: take on Adrian Peterson's contract. I guess it makes more
Speaker 1: sense for them to go in a different direction. It
Speaker 1: makes sense to me that the Cowboys would be interested,
Speaker 1: but it never made sense that the Vikings would want
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. And now I think, as
Speaker 1: he's seen that some gigantic market hasn't emerged for him
Speaker 1: where some team's gonna pay him a ten million dollars
Speaker 1: and give up picks. Now he's just gonna have to
Speaker 1: settle return to Minnesota. I mean it didn't come out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Jerry Jones and Adrian Peterson did speak on
Speaker 1: the phone one time about it. Right, What was that
Speaker 1: conversation about? How was that not tampering by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of people said. Interesting. Well, Peterson
Speaker 1: has also said several times that he wants to finish
Speaker 1: his career with the cow Boys. And there was a report,
Speaker 1: you know this weekend that the Vikings see at Peterson
Speaker 1: not just as important for their team, but for Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridgewater and just supporting him and doing everything they can
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs before they move into the new stadium.
Speaker 1: Sell some pcls all about the dollars. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about another controversial player, this one Robert Griffin, the third.
Speaker 1: The Redskins have formerly picked up r G three's fifth
Speaker 1: year option. Redskins GM Scott McCluin made it official at
Speaker 1: a Monday news conference. Uh he did add, however, and
Speaker 1: this is important to note that the decision does not
Speaker 1: quote affect our draft process whatsoever. Uh So it's a
Speaker 1: sixteen point one million dollar option, but the team can
Speaker 1: still get out of it after after this year. So
Speaker 1: of r G three craps, the bed barring a serious injury,
Speaker 1: that's the only way r G three is protected. The
Speaker 1: Redskins can still get out after four years. I mean,
Speaker 1: if there's one team that wants thirty one other teams
Speaker 1: to believe that there are threat to take that quarterback
Speaker 1: to force someone to try to trade up with them,
Speaker 1: it's the Redskins. And I'm not buying it. But they've
Speaker 1: been singing that song for three months now. They just
Speaker 1: did the same thing. McLuhan said during the press conference
Speaker 1: and Letterard Williams, the defensive tackle out of USC that
Speaker 1: people are very high on. Um, he kind of left
Speaker 1: it out there. You know, if he's there, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll be open to a trade there. So he's
Speaker 1: playing the game, uh, and he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: That'd be shocked if Mariota falls past two. So I
Speaker 1: don't this is all for nothing. M Yeah, but with
Speaker 1: the Redskins, they are taking a little bit of a
Speaker 1: risk and what is really the benefit. Well, I I
Speaker 1: understand they want to make it look like they're supporting
Speaker 1: r G three. I guess that's the intent of it.
Speaker 1: But if he tears his a c L and he
Speaker 1: has done that twice in his career. In December, you
Speaker 1: suddenly are in a really bad situation for a quarterback
Speaker 1: that I don't know. I mean, what are the odds
Speaker 1: that he's going to come out of next year and
Speaker 1: they really want to pay him all that money? I
Speaker 1: don't think it's very high. Yeah, I get what you're
Speaker 1: saying that if he channels his rookie season for him
Speaker 1: and turns his career around, you could just use the
Speaker 1: franchise tag on him, if you write, yeah, exactly, and
Speaker 1: and in this case, I guess it's not that big
Speaker 1: a risk. He would have to have a really bad injury.
Speaker 1: But what are the odds? I'll just throw it out
Speaker 1: to you, guys, what are the odds that r G
Speaker 1: three is on that team in two thousands and sixteen
Speaker 1: playing for that that money, or basically just on the
Speaker 1: team at all. I would put it at he has
Speaker 1: a chance of still being there next year. I was
Speaker 1: going to say, I'd say thirty. But if if Gruden
Speaker 1: is fired, which is maybe a higher percentage chance than
Speaker 1: his his option, RG three probably sticks around with the
Speaker 1: next coup you think, so, I would think the next
Speaker 1: coach of his first order of business would get that
Speaker 1: guy out of town depends who he is. All the
Speaker 1: ownership clearly backs Griffin. I even think thirties a little
Speaker 1: high for me, because I mean, what are the chances
Speaker 1: he's even the starter of week nine? I mean he
Speaker 1: has got to me he has a very shortly she's
Speaker 1: gonna have. You don't think he'll be there next week? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think. I think he has
Speaker 1: to play really well, which we didn't see a lot
Speaker 1: of evidence last year that was going to happen under
Speaker 1: and in other r G three news. He has kept
Speaker 1: a lower profile this offseason. Thankfully, he's not been on
Speaker 1: social media, but he did speak with the Washington Post
Speaker 1: and had some interesting things to say. Uh he said,
Speaker 1: people want you to be a certain person, and it's
Speaker 1: unfortunate for them that I'm not the person they made
Speaker 1: me out to be. And then he went on to say,
Speaker 1: but I know once we start winning again, the same
Speaker 1: people that have been saying negative things are trying to
Speaker 1: attack my character or my family will be the same
Speaker 1: one saying, oh, they're great people. That's just the business
Speaker 1: I would say, but it's not the person I would business.
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of. Who's it great?
Speaker 1: Who's he talking about for these people? That's the right question.
Speaker 1: Talking about the media or his coaches or people inside
Speaker 1: the building who I think both a mixture of both. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I mean, was he was that an indirect shot
Speaker 1: at the coaching staff there for not having his back
Speaker 1: or I don't know what what it was? Some of
Speaker 1: what A lot of what he says is true. If
Speaker 1: you win in the NFL, people think you're a good person,
Speaker 1: and if you lose, you're a bad person. That's that's
Speaker 1: a fair cristial good quarterback or a bad quarterback. Typically
Speaker 1: he's saying it's become personal where people think he's actually
Speaker 1: like adult and a you know, bad I think he's right, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's what quarterback in the last couple of
Speaker 1: years has received more personal attacks about his quirky personality
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. I brought it on himself
Speaker 1: in my opinion, sure, but he but he's been hammered
Speaker 1: by the pressure. I think there is something too that though,
Speaker 1: that people get picked on as a jerk if you're losing,
Speaker 1: but no one's going to call you a jerk when
Speaker 1: you're winning, because you're Michael Jordan or your Dan Marino
Speaker 1: or whoever you are, like, that's just whatever goes into
Speaker 1: your personality that makes you win. No one care. He
Speaker 1: just called Michael Jordan Dan Marino that I was not
Speaker 1: what I really Let's tweet that. Uh. And finally, Mark,
Speaker 1: this is for you. Packer's plan Brett Farves ceremony for
Speaker 1: Thanksgivings now official. Packers have made it official. After years
Speaker 1: and years of planning, It's happening. Big day. Listen if
Speaker 1: the if the lineup, if we had issues with the
Speaker 1: lineup on Thanksgiving which came up in the lad pot,
Speaker 1: that this removes all my issues because this ceremony is
Speaker 1: extremely high octane and important to me. Okay, so week one,
Speaker 1: Dan has what was the game I assigned Cowboys? I
Speaker 1: believe it was the Cowboys? I think Rex scheduling Mark
Speaker 1: for the late Thanksgiving. Fifth year in a row, Late Thanksgiving, Mark, Um,
Speaker 1: say goodbye to your children early. You're in that. Let's
Speaker 1: have a Thanksgiving breakfast this year? Really fair? Boss? Kidding?
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Mark's eyes turning. That was one of the
Speaker 1: few issues that Greg and I've ever had, and as
Speaker 1: he was going through that little skit, he realized he
Speaker 1: was walking into a dark one as blood started leaguing
Speaker 1: out of Mark's eyes. All right, that's what's happening. All right,
Speaker 1: moving forward? You know, we we like to have fun.
Speaker 1: We like to work hard, work hard, play hard. That's
Speaker 1: my motto. Uh. And also for this group, we wrote
Speaker 1: on Friday about six draft aids. We'd love to see him.
Speaker 1: We all got involved. Um So now let's go through
Speaker 1: our personal choices. And I'm gonna start with Mark, who
Speaker 1: I believe was calmed down after that near catastrophe with Greg.
Speaker 1: Just now a bit that turned sour. You start us up,
Speaker 1: what is a trade that you now? Famously, the last
Speaker 1: time we did this exercise during free agency, you you
Speaker 1: mentioned that Philip rivers to the Browns, which gave West
Speaker 1: and I a little bit of heat for for maybe
Speaker 1: shooting down on NFL now hit. I think the order
Speaker 1: was you filled me while I was away on some
Speaker 1: NFL now hit and I found out about it through
Speaker 1: back channels, and then I responded and then uh, and
Speaker 1: then you attempted to run that same trade back right
Speaker 1: on this assignment, and Greg shot that down. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't know where Gregg was coming from, but he made
Speaker 1: me come up with the trade that I'd like to
Speaker 1: see a little bit less than that one. You know,
Speaker 1: forgive me for asking you to create a new piece
Speaker 1: of content. It's like two weeks ago that we wrote
Speaker 1: that in pasting into your last one. All right, well,
Speaker 1: I got one for you. There we go. Number one.
Speaker 1: It involves the quarterback again being shipped out of town,
Speaker 1: and it's Jake Cutler as part of a large package
Speaker 1: deal that says Matt Forte in the final year of
Speaker 1: his contract. He's getting finicky about his his contract. That
Speaker 1: could be an issue. So Cutler Forte two number ones
Speaker 1: and next year's second round pick to the Bucks to
Speaker 1: move up six slots and take Jamis Winston. Adam Gates
Speaker 1: has a new quarterback to work with that is wild.
Speaker 1: Why would you like to see that so much? Well,
Speaker 1: because Jake Cutler in a Bears uniform. It's not that
Speaker 1: he's only bad, he's boring and the Bears are boring
Speaker 1: with him. I think this would make them a more
Speaker 1: interesting team to watch. I like it and love you
Speaker 1: Smith is the perfect coach to fall for it. Well,
Speaker 1: I think that Love Smith and Jake Cutler don't get along.
Speaker 1: Going back to their extint with the Bears, that's an issue,
Speaker 1: that could be an issue, But I agree that the
Speaker 1: Bears are a much better, much more fun team to
Speaker 1: watch without Jake Cutler. It does there is something sad
Speaker 1: about Jamis Winston going to the Bucks into that hole
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe it'll work out. You do have Mike
Speaker 1: Evans and Vincent Jackson. I mean that could so did
Speaker 1: the last quarterback. Yeah, that could be fun to watch,
Speaker 1: but I just don't like. Yeah, I'd like to see
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston on TV for instant that that's not going
Speaker 1: to happen with the Bucks. He'll be on TV Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: Night with the Brett Farve ceremony. Bears Packers. Uh, Christopher Westling,
Speaker 1: I have Philip rivers to the Titans for the number
Speaker 1: two picks. Straight up. I think that the Titans believe
Speaker 1: that the number two pick is worth more than a
Speaker 1: thirty four year old quarterback. But I think the Chargers
Speaker 1: also think that a legitimate franchise, top six quarterback in
Speaker 1: the NFL is worth more than the number two pick.
Speaker 1: So all of these draft picks that are supposably gonna
Speaker 1: change sides. The Titans want more draft picks or the charge, No,
Speaker 1: you just do it, straight up, from the number two
Speaker 1: agree that that's fair value. So this is to me,
Speaker 1: the whole Rivers Chargers thing is really fascinating because it
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense on both sides for everyone.
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a tough one to figure out.
Speaker 1: So his contracts up after this year, it's I believe
Speaker 1: it is yet Yes, yeah, if he's told the Chargers
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be there, they have to trade him,
Speaker 1: right like this is going to happen. They don't. They
Speaker 1: can just use the franchise tag two years in a
Speaker 1: row if they want. He has essentially said that in
Speaker 1: so many words because he won't negotiate a new contract
Speaker 1: and he's made it clear he doesn't want to move
Speaker 1: if they move. But you can call his bluff. Okay,
Speaker 1: what are your options, Philip Rivers to retire after this year?
Speaker 1: They might not move to l A. There's a very
Speaker 1: good chance they won't move to have been trying to
Speaker 1: move to l A for twenty years. So you you
Speaker 1: roll the dice and you see and you say, it's
Speaker 1: tough luck, Philip Rivers. Wait, but you would want to
Speaker 1: lock him in with the franchise tag when he's miserable
Speaker 1: and resents you for this. I mean, it just seems
Speaker 1: like but to your point, like they if there's any
Speaker 1: time to make a move and move rivers, it's now.
Speaker 1: If you can get up to the with a team
Speaker 1: like Ken wizzen Hunt in Tennessee, who does have a
Speaker 1: good relationship with that quarterback, and you have a chance
Speaker 1: to get your next young one, that opportunity may not
Speaker 1: come around again. M Greg your turn, all right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they know the process here isn't supposed to be a
Speaker 1: realistic trade, and Mark Uh, you know, went with one
Speaker 1: would be a little whacky. It was what we'd like
Speaker 1: to see. And what I'd like to see is r
Speaker 1: G three get a real chance with a fun team.
Speaker 1: What could possibly happen to make r G three the
Speaker 1: guy that we all saw back in two thousand twelve
Speaker 1: a trade to the Buffalo Bills with all that talent
Speaker 1: around him. You've got Greg Roman, who's a little creative.
Speaker 1: He's worked with Colin Kaepernick. The pistol read option put
Speaker 1: r G three in Buffalo. You know, Washington just wants
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. They take back let's say
Speaker 1: e J. Manuel and a third round pick. Man is
Speaker 1: just kind of a throw and Jay Gruden likes to
Speaker 1: use at least eight starting quarterbacks every season, so he
Speaker 1: can be one of them. And there you go. I
Speaker 1: love that. For trades we'd like to see. I love that.
Speaker 1: The trade you like to see. What really moved the
Speaker 1: needle for Greg Rosenthal is E J. Manuel. No, that
Speaker 1: was a throw. And because if if you put r
Speaker 1: G three in Buffalo, then they have five quarterbacks you
Speaker 1: have to you might as well just send your last
Speaker 1: one back. We talked about this on the NFL Now
Speaker 1: hit this morning, one which, by the way, not to
Speaker 1: get off course, but in the before we went in
Speaker 1: in the makeup room, I look over and much to
Speaker 1: my surprise, Greg not only in the chair getting his
Speaker 1: makeup done, there's another gentleman hairstylist, personal hairstyles to working
Speaker 1: around the corners of his ears in the back, even
Speaker 1: taking a brush with the Talcom pattern, cleaning it up
Speaker 1: and simultaneous makeup haircut. Now for Greg wasn't offered to me. Bitterly,
Speaker 1: Greg working behind the scenes, now a diva move on
Speaker 1: your report and threatened. He immediately tweets about it from
Speaker 1: his makeup chair, which you're getting makeup. It's not like
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't ask for this. You actually being
Speaker 1: there is a perfect witness to the fact that there's
Speaker 1: no diva move. The guy walks up, he says, hey,
Speaker 1: can I just clean up around your ears a little bit?
Speaker 1: You know, it's not not all of us around your
Speaker 1: ears a little bit. He's been conditioned to deal with
Speaker 1: your behavior, and so this time he's fell right in line.
Speaker 1: And that's what Dan witness wasn't This was a totally
Speaker 1: different I then the guy who gave me the haircut, Well,
Speaker 1: the word gets around they talk, is that like when
Speaker 1: you see chimps and they're always picking stuff out of
Speaker 1: each other's first it's just going to clean up around
Speaker 1: the ear. It was just a nice little clean up.
Speaker 1: And listen, it's a nice little angle to take that.
Speaker 1: It's it's hair envy. But really what this is about
Speaker 1: is you've established a culture in that makeup room. Though, okay,
Speaker 1: and so what what exactly do you want here? Oh no, uh,
Speaker 1: don't save me a bunch of time and give me
Speaker 1: a great free service professionally done in two minutes while
Speaker 1: I'm at work. That's terrible. Well, well, the response could
Speaker 1: have been, listen, I'm not comfortable with you touching up
Speaker 1: my hair unless my cowork against you find it a
Speaker 1: little odd that, by the way, you recently had a
Speaker 1: haircut and your hair is looking on mine is very long.
Speaker 1: I need he only serviced you didn't even look in
Speaker 1: my direction. It's never smells to me like something behind
Speaker 1: the scenes that was cooked up by the boss who
Speaker 1: pulled his management card. And to Greg's they don't just
Speaker 1: a bunch of faceless chimps. Greg very rarely pulls the
Speaker 1: management card. He's just you know, he works with us
Speaker 1: very closely. In this case, it looks like you went
Speaker 1: above How would they know? How would they know who?
Speaker 1: They have? No idea? You told them, there's no there's
Speaker 1: no telling. Dan obviously has gotten you a little riled
Speaker 1: up because I think he's gotten to the heart of
Speaker 1: the matter. He's jealous. He's jealous. Well, yes, I told
Speaker 1: you jealous. Who scares people are offering great, great free haircut.
Speaker 1: First of all, I've told you I'm jealous about it.
Speaker 1: I want them to do my hair as well. But
Speaker 1: it's strange to just ask I Unlike you, I treat
Speaker 1: the people back there like like people. I have conversations
Speaker 1: and we're friends, and so then it just naturally comes up.
Speaker 1: It's like you were hanging out Saturday night with the
Speaker 1: makeup be like, it would be like being mad at
Speaker 1: Mark for having a free lunch when the when the
Speaker 1: taco truck comes to town or whatever. It's like, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you take that? No idea what that means? All right?
Speaker 1: So yeah, anyway, so that was interesting and interesting thing
Speaker 1: to see. That's all I'm saying. That's why I'm glad
Speaker 1: you shared that observation. Um anyway, So yeah, back to
Speaker 1: the point when we after that incident, we'll call it.
Speaker 1: We went in and taped the segment and Greg through
Speaker 1: this same scenario out there, and all I could think
Speaker 1: was r G through. The last thing he needs to
Speaker 1: do is go to Western New York and get the
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan QB stink on him. We might not ever
Speaker 1: see him again. It'll be bye bye. Have fun of
Speaker 1: the CFL in two thousand and seventeen. Are it would
Speaker 1: make him fun? I'll tell you that. I mean, E J.
Speaker 1: Manuell come on like they've got nothing going on that
Speaker 1: position RG three paired with that coordinator. I like that
Speaker 1: RG three needs a fresh start, and I did legitimately
Speaker 1: try to go through all the teams, where what team
Speaker 1: could possibly fit r G three, What team could possibly want?
Speaker 1: It's crazy how there weren't a lot of options. There
Speaker 1: weren't a lot of ones that made any sense at all.
Speaker 1: Buffalo is the closest. Why do we think Greg Roman
Speaker 1: could fix RG three? Gregor, I'm couldn't get it right
Speaker 1: with Colin Kaepernick at the end. Yeah, well it's fair,
Speaker 1: I mean, but but of the coordinators out there, I'd
Speaker 1: give him. He's got some history. Listen, I value your
Speaker 1: coordinator talk. Mark, you are the the people that you're
Speaker 1: the speaking the voice of the coordinators. I was just
Speaker 1: curious Roman was he was, you know, ridden out of
Speaker 1: town and years. You guys had a nice airport conversation
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl. Uh. I believe through the grapevine
Speaker 1: that there might be some texting between them occasionally as well,
Speaker 1: not recently. On the he's he's gone into his workroom.
Speaker 1: He's starting over in RT three. Would be a nice
Speaker 1: addition for him to work with. I like Gregg's idea,
Speaker 1: A good idea by the boss RG three. He has
Speaker 1: a new catchphrase every year, r G three. That's not
Speaker 1: a shocking Uh. Next year the one where he was
Speaker 1: at the Bills would be probably start over. I would think, um,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll do min minds we I feel like
Speaker 1: we talked about all the time. But um, the Vikings
Speaker 1: deal Adrian Peterson to Arizona A P doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be there, he's thirty years old. Did you just recycle
Speaker 1: mind trade from a couple of weeks ago? I think
Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, Yeah, we talked about this, but we're
Speaker 1: in agreement on it because it makes too much sense
Speaker 1: not to make it happen. If he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be there, the Vikings should, uh you know, do what
Speaker 1: they can do to get the most they can for
Speaker 1: him and the Cardinals, who to me, are one piece
Speaker 1: away from really contending in the NFC. You get Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson in that backfield all of seven. Wait a second,
Speaker 1: the n C West is not the Seahawks and a
Speaker 1: bunch of teams behind him. I feel like that's a
Speaker 1: real dog fight for that division and conference. It would
Speaker 1: be fun to see if wouldn't that team be awesome?
Speaker 1: Te what's your thoughts? Since you were the first one
Speaker 1: to throw this out there a few weeks I have
Speaker 1: nothing more to add. You stated it eloquently, plus they
Speaker 1: would right grievous wrong in draft history. You know, we
Speaker 1: need a Cardinals fan around here to remind you Browns
Speaker 1: and Jets fan how bad the Cardinals had it over
Speaker 1: the years. They that magical Super Bowl runs. They desperately
Speaker 1: needed a running back. People thought they were gonna take
Speaker 1: Peterson and they took Levi Brown. They're like, no, we
Speaker 1: already have Edgrian James here, who's thirty four years old.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do you want to talk about you wanted
Speaker 1: to go tip for tat with the draft mistakes. I'm
Speaker 1: just said Ken O'Brien, when I could have taken Dan Marino,
Speaker 1: I took Blair Twins when I could have taken him
Speaker 1: at Smith you can go, how about Spurgeon win instead
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady? How about every team? Didn't about for
Speaker 1: a decade stretch the ESPN guys laughed at the Bengals
Speaker 1: every time. All right. Also, just so everyone knows, Connor
Speaker 1: Or wants uh Dion Jordan's to the Eagles for a
Speaker 1: fifth round pick. Kevin Patrick also likes Todd Gurley to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys a little trade up. Maybe we'll talk a
Speaker 1: little Cowboys in our upcoming tasty Alright, so that's it. Uh,
Speaker 1: six draft trades we love to see and you could
Speaker 1: read all about it nfl dot com, Slash around the
Speaker 1: NFL or slash News either. All right, it's time let's play.
Speaker 1: Let's play games, play a little game. We do it
Speaker 1: from time to time. It's draft season, it's upon us.
Speaker 1: Let's make some predictions, and uh, you know, we call
Speaker 1: it go get my lunch. So basically the rules of
Speaker 1: the game. We each maker prediction and the rest of
Speaker 1: the group can either agree and beg you know what,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. You know, no blood there. But
Speaker 1: if there's a disagreement, you could take that person on
Speaker 1: with a sandwich on the line, or you could take
Speaker 1: everyone on if there's all disagreements with your prediction, which
Speaker 1: that's when it gets scary. As you know, Mark, that
Speaker 1: is go get my lunch. So why don't we play.
Speaker 1: It's one of our favorite games in all of the world.
Speaker 1: My favorite. Yeah, I agree, all right, So let's start
Speaker 1: with one that's more a group one. We usually throw
Speaker 1: at least one of these out here, and it will
Speaker 1: be as follows. Where will Marcus Mariota land in the NFL?
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to say what pick or
Speaker 1: you know how he gets there there's trading involved, or
Speaker 1: he's just taking straight up with you know, the number
Speaker 1: two pick or number one pick, who knows just what
Speaker 1: team will he be on when the calendar turns over
Speaker 1: to May. And we'll start with you, Mark Sesler. You know,
Speaker 1: this draft doesn't have a whole lot of entry compared
Speaker 1: to some of the others. This is maybe one of
Speaker 1: the few areas where no one knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But if we're gonna talk about putting a sandwich on
Speaker 1: the line, I'm gonna go safe and I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Tennessee because they they need a quarterback. I'm not buying
Speaker 1: that they think Zach Mettenberger is their franchise answer. They
Speaker 1: don't know that yet. First of all, stay home at too,
Speaker 1: Mariota goes down to Nashville. M hmmm. I have the
Speaker 1: same line of thinking. I'd like to see Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: for Mariota trade. But if we're talking about sandwiches on
Speaker 1: the line here, I'm taking the Titans. I think that
Speaker 1: has the best chance of happening. I think yeah. And
Speaker 1: and it should make clear that you know this one
Speaker 1: is not when we're challenging each other. It's just whoever
Speaker 1: and someone's enjoying a delicious sandwich as you could hear
Speaker 1: right now. That's I thought it was an apple. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's something that's something's cooking that's uncomfortable. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: whoever gets it right gets sandwiches all right from everyone.
Speaker 1: So I will say it's Titan. That seems logical. But
Speaker 1: you guys are forgetting about the poor man's Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Zach Mettenberger is blocking the way in Tennessee and you laugh,
Speaker 1: But that's what they're saying behind the scenes, according to
Speaker 1: don't believe anything in line season. Yeah, well that's true too.
Speaker 1: Zach Mettenberger being in the next Tom Brady is an
Speaker 1: absurd notion. I will go with, wait for it, the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. The New York Jets, who I think
Speaker 1: are are bold under Big Mac, playing game with your
Speaker 1: heart instead of your head. Well, I perhaps West. I
Speaker 1: have been on record that I think the Jets need
Speaker 1: to make a big splash, you need to move on
Speaker 1: from Gino Smith. But and I'm going off track record
Speaker 1: that mcagnet has been bold since he took over. And
Speaker 1: I think you know, best case scenario. This stuff doesn't
Speaker 1: work out for the Jets too often. He falls to six.
Speaker 1: But I think they might even get aggressive. I think
Speaker 1: they're playing their COI I don't think they want anything
Speaker 1: to do with Geno Smith. I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is
Speaker 1: basically just an insurance policy at this point. I think
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna make a big move and say
Speaker 1: we're going to contend for the ANFC East with a
Speaker 1: young passer that gots people on the throne of ease
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and holding at the collar. Yeah, I'm uncomfortable with
Speaker 1: I was gonna take the Jets too, but now I
Speaker 1: feel like I can anymore. I'm gonna switch up my pick. Well.
Speaker 1: I like, I like the thinking. I like. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get taken in the first two picks.
Speaker 1: I think he might slide down a little bit. And
Speaker 1: I just when you look at the teams that are
Speaker 1: in the mick, would Washington take him at five? Maybe
Speaker 1: that that would be interesting. But I think the Jets,
Speaker 1: without even having to move up, could get the guy.
Speaker 1: So who's your pick? My pick? You forgot, I'm there.
Speaker 1: I thought you were still talking about still talking about
Speaker 1: dance pick I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go one pick later.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Chicago Bears. Then I think
Speaker 1: that would be a nice spot for him to just
Speaker 1: kind of chill out for a year while they get
Speaker 1: rid of you know, they burn off Jake Cutler. He's
Speaker 1: like the guy that you want to fire. You're just
Speaker 1: burning off his time with the company. And then Mariotto
Speaker 1: in a year later tasty well, so he gets by
Speaker 1: the Jets. According to Greg's not impossible. I don't want
Speaker 1: to see. I don't want to have the same answer.
Speaker 1: I kind of like the Jets. I was thinking about
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That would have been a good take my
Speaker 1: sandwich from Jackson Market A Titans, Titans, Jets, Bears. Those
Speaker 1: are our four picks or three picks, I guess for
Speaker 1: where Mariana lands. So that is uh for those uh,
Speaker 1: thank you for watching? Or what do you have something else?
Speaker 1: I add? No, I thought you were gonna interject something
Speaker 1: that that's the first the wager here and we're gonna continue.
Speaker 1: If you're watching on NFL now, thank you for watching
Speaker 1: and check out our podcast because we've got a bunch
Speaker 1: more of these to go. And it's gonna get even
Speaker 1: more dynamic, if that's possible. Thanks for watching. I'm surprised
Speaker 1: no one took the chargers. Maybe I should have taken
Speaker 1: the charger. That would have been my second choice, just
Speaker 1: because I like how this bat trying to think of
Speaker 1: how consistent you know, with all my other nonsense ones. Um, alright,
Speaker 1: it's already in his own head. So three minutes into
Speaker 1: the game, are we do we need to track these
Speaker 1: or do we have that? We have here the whole
Speaker 1: website dedicated. We should send Nick Fortier something, surely, maybe
Speaker 1: a sandwich he hated to he should tell us how
Speaker 1: to pronounce his last name if it's four tier or
Speaker 1: forty A, forty A. It seems like I feel like
Speaker 1: it would be good. Uh alright, So okay, now we'll
Speaker 1: go individual so that, by the way, gold Center. Do
Speaker 1: you have a prediction, uh, for where you think Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariotta will go? Do you want to get involved with this?
Speaker 1: You're probably never gonna see us again. But um, I
Speaker 1: think I'll just stick to playing this food sound effect.
Speaker 1: Probably it's probably just so an apple, by the way,
Speaker 1: it really is. It could be a sandwich and a
Speaker 1: lot of lettuce too, Like you like veggie sandwiches. Never
Speaker 1: sounded like that when I've ever eaten one. I like
Speaker 1: the sound effect, but it's so clearly a red apple. Um,
Speaker 1: it could be an apple sandwich. People put apples, all right?
Speaker 1: Who wants to start? I'll throw it out there to
Speaker 1: get gone. Here we go. We talked about Todd Gurley.
Speaker 1: You've been talking a lot about Todd Gurley, and we
Speaker 1: learned via rap sheet that there's a very that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are out on Adrian Peterson. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any way. I'm more confident about this pick than any
Speaker 1: other pick in the first round. The Cowboys get Todd Gurley,
Speaker 1: and they'll do what they have to, whether they have
Speaker 1: to move up or sit where they are. Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: is a member of the Dallas Cowboys. At the end
Speaker 1: of Thursday night, who wants to take me up on
Speaker 1: that sandwich? I'm all over that one. Yeah, I'm taking
Speaker 1: I thank you three sandwiches. We know that Kevin Patra
Speaker 1: would not take it because he that was one of
Speaker 1: his little h trades he'd like to see. Famously, last
Speaker 1: year when we we played this game, I came very
Speaker 1: close to nailing the Cowboys first round pick, but then
Speaker 1: Johnny manzell Uh Jerry Jones was talked out of taking
Speaker 1: Johnny manziel off. If someone take talks Jared Jones out
Speaker 1: of taking Todd Gurley, I will slash. And one of
Speaker 1: my favorite Kansas narratives is that we look back on
Speaker 1: that as Dan nearly getting that pick right or what
Speaker 1: I pick manziel to Cleveland stunner, like a lot of
Speaker 1: people thought that we well, you of all people glass houses,
Speaker 1: you like chirping about Oh I almost predicted pay Manning retiring.
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, I did. I thought that was pretty solid.
Speaker 1: People on their heels for I just like that. Dan
Speaker 1: says famously that happened. But when they do the oral
Speaker 1: history of the Around the NFL podcast, that's the whole chapter.
Speaker 1: I have one verified, bro, I have one directly related
Speaker 1: to that, and I don't care that, thank you, but
Speaker 1: it's sort of doubling up. And so I know how
Speaker 1: Dan's gonna answer this one. But this one, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys can see if you want to jump in
Speaker 1: my sandwich proposition is that the Cowboys will not take
Speaker 1: a running back in the first round. So not just girly, no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where Girly goes. It doesn't matter who
Speaker 1: Gordon goes to. Just that when they pick in the
Speaker 1: first round, they're not taking a running back. I'll take
Speaker 1: I'll take you up on that. Just kidding. No, you
Speaker 1: have to take me up on that. Oh that they
Speaker 1: won't pick they're not taking a running back is to
Speaker 1: be in the first round. I'll take you in the
Speaker 1: first round. I will take you up on that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it. Well didn't only two there, I'm
Speaker 1: up the four sailworches. I got one for you. I've
Speaker 1: got I've got another girly one as long as well,
Speaker 1: let's go with that. Gurley does not slip past pick
Speaker 1: number fourteen. Mm hm. Who is the dolphins? Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: That's it's uncomfortable listening to that. That's one of my
Speaker 1: pet peeves. It's listening to people eating. Go get my lunch,
Speaker 1: don't stop. Um see you got me, you got me here.
Speaker 1: Because the first round I said, they they'll do what
Speaker 1: they have to, but I don't know if they have
Speaker 1: to go that high to get him. They do, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you. I'll take you up on it.
Speaker 1: I don't think I think they will get him after fourteen.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take you up on that. I
Speaker 1: could see Todd Gurley going in the top ten. Just
Speaker 1: seems like he's He's a guy that everyone is really
Speaker 1: excited about and maybe you know has been taco he's
Speaker 1: gonna slip because of his injury, whereas everyone's really thinking,
Speaker 1: this is one of the most talented guys in the draft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't take you on this one. When you read
Speaker 1: a scattering report, like Bob mcgainn, the scout says, this
Speaker 1: is a line in the scatter report, he might not
Speaker 1: be as good as Bo Jackson. It's pretty impressive. Let's
Speaker 1: check out Trent richardson scouting report. Pretty impressive, that's true.
Speaker 1: Richardson was famously talked about like one of the best
Speaker 1: athletes in decades to come down through the process. So
Speaker 1: you know who knew, Jim Brown knew. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1: You know, to be fair to that scouting report, that's
Speaker 1: actually true of all of us here too. We might
Speaker 1: not be as good as Bo Jackson. It's really true
Speaker 1: of just about every individual alive. Well, not a great
Speaker 1: scouting report. I thought it was a great scout and
Speaker 1: it was kind of like who are three people in
Speaker 1: my kitchen? It's it's pretty revealing that he actually gets
Speaker 1: mentioned in the same sentence as Bo Jackson. That's interesting,
Speaker 1: which we do not why would anybody be mentioned in
Speaker 1: But wasn't he like a once in a century type athlete? Yes?
Speaker 1: What he is built and yeah, they were like a
Speaker 1: four one or something. There are reports that he ran
Speaker 1: a four one eighty pounds. All right, Marks a lot
Speaker 1: of build up? Mark, all right, I don't think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of build up, just brass tacks in this
Speaker 1: game now, just chalking up win purple shirt. After the
Speaker 1: Bucks draft their quarterback of the future, Mike Glennon finds
Speaker 1: himself on another team by week one. Still banging that, Glennon,
Speaker 1: I don't like these ones that don't end till week one.
Speaker 1: These are supposed to be draft draft concerned. If you
Speaker 1: don't like that, No, but that's that's again because it's
Speaker 1: because of who say, at the end of the draft. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and it should be at the end of the draft weekend,
Speaker 1: which is probably when he would get traded anyway. No,
Speaker 1: it won't happen in draft weekend. I don't think that's why. Alright,
Speaker 1: Mark has uh been disqualified from this round, sorry one,
Speaker 1: because we need to. We need to take care of business.
Speaker 1: By the end of the draft. We can't leave things
Speaker 1: we want. We want to have it. The sandwich is
Speaker 1: being paid up and whatnot. You know right away in
Speaker 1: this alright, the boss pipe down. At least three wide
Speaker 1: receivers drafted in the first twenty picks, yell at us, now,
Speaker 1: I'm very annoyed when the two of you West was
Speaker 1: what was playing ball? You know? It's just you don't
Speaker 1: like the game. You get hazy, you're not sure you
Speaker 1: can win it, so you change the rules. Wow, I like,
Speaker 1: maybe you're just doing on my day off. That's why
Speaker 1: you're under not last game. I'm not alright, everybody calmed.
Speaker 1: Three wide receivers drafted in the first That draft related
Speaker 1: enough for you, Greg, It is, but it's not interesting.
Speaker 1: I predict no one's taking that, which is great. Then
Speaker 1: you avoid losing any sandwiches Western identical bed last year.
Speaker 1: You know this is a different draft. Can I hear
Speaker 1: it one more time? Don't shot at me. At least
Speaker 1: three receivers drafted in the first twenty picks, first first time.
Speaker 1: I'm not I agree with you, So I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: Cooper and White. A lot of people think they're gonna
Speaker 1: go in the top ten, potentially even top five. Well maybe, uh,
Speaker 1: let's make it four wideis who's the third goat four
Speaker 1: in the shop? Different? Is that interesting enough for you? Greg?
Speaker 1: You think I'm just saying If you read you know
Speaker 1: Mark's taking numbers. If you read I had a good
Speaker 1: one out of date and you disqualified. If you read
Speaker 1: twenty five mock drafts, all of them have three wide
Speaker 1: receivers going in the top twenty, you just basically were
Speaker 1: like a football player will get taken in the first
Speaker 1: All right, well you're taking this or not? It's four,
Speaker 1: by the way, Okay, that's different, Nelson, how do you
Speaker 1: say his name? Agaho? Or again? Nelson? Here's why, And
Speaker 1: this is trying to get back in Mark's good graces
Speaker 1: because you got very angry. Uh. The reason that's a
Speaker 1: good one is because teams that miss the wide receiver
Speaker 1: boom of last year are going to be afraid to
Speaker 1: miss it again. Uh this year when everyone is saying again,
Speaker 1: this is a big time wide receiver class. Also, the
Speaker 1: Eagles have the twentieth pick and they need a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: so that could be Saffy move you so four in
Speaker 1: the top twenty, and we know there's gonna be two
Speaker 1: in the top ten. So it's really so DeVante Parker
Speaker 1: and one other guy probably. You know, I'll take you
Speaker 1: up on it this for fun. I don't think it
Speaker 1: will happen too many. I will not take you. I'm
Speaker 1: not taking it either, but for its past muster as
Speaker 1: an acceptable one. All right, now, Greg's this one better
Speaker 1: be awesome, Greg, that you're about I don't have awesome ones.
Speaker 1: I was just saying, it just better be a flamethrower
Speaker 1: that ends broadcast radio. Drop it on us. Wow, where's
Speaker 1: the buns of Vernon pulletards when you need it? I'm
Speaker 1: too afraid right now? This is great, Greg? Do you
Speaker 1: want me to go while you No? No, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it because Mark knows I'm right. He's just
Speaker 1: making up crazy ones that end in the old time.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he didn't run back Peyton Manning. He doesn't
Speaker 1: seemed like he knows you're right. I don't think you're
Speaker 1: right at all. Uh, well, why do I do my
Speaker 1: we're we're supposed to do? What do you call it?
Speaker 1: The onion hanger. We're saving the onion hanger for last.
Speaker 1: How about this one, Kevin White gets drafted ahead of
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. Oh, I'll take that. I'll take that too.
Speaker 1: You're a lot of high octain contraptions on this theory
Speaker 1: that Mariotta is not going to number and now I
Speaker 1: look at another one I wrote down which is completely
Speaker 1: opposite of that. So you're in your own head you
Speaker 1: have been since we started this game. I'm gonna in
Speaker 1: my mind, I see Mariotta going number six, which means
Speaker 1: White would probably well Cooper probably go before White. Right,
Speaker 1: you never know, no either one. I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of open open for debate. I'm gonna stay away from
Speaker 1: this one, Okay, all right, here we go. Randy Gregory,
Speaker 1: who uh we're told might be the best pure pass
Speaker 1: rusher in this draft, but also admit that he was
Speaker 1: smoking some chiba uh back in high school and college. Uh.
Speaker 1: That has caused people to be down on Randy Gregory. However,
Speaker 1: these people don't come around too often, these fifteen sack guys.
Speaker 1: Potentially the Cardinals or the Panthers will select Gregory in
Speaker 1: the first round. Has to be one of those two teams.
Speaker 1: One of those two Cardinals or Panthers. The Cardinals never
Speaker 1: filled the void. I'm just gonna lay out work my
Speaker 1: thinking after John Abraham's concussion. They also took a shot
Speaker 1: on Honey Badger, a guy with character issues, and it
Speaker 1: worked out beautifully. So I think they would pull the
Speaker 1: trigger the Panthers. You know, hog Molly baby, I'll take
Speaker 1: you about that. I was gonna have a Greg Molly.
Speaker 1: They drafted Coney Ealy last year. Hot mall. Hog Molly's
Speaker 1: can never get too many. I like this one, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take yes. Well, I'm in deep right now.
Speaker 1: Should we have to Randy Gregory ones going the other way?
Speaker 1: Getting verified? Hasn't you know, gone to my head where
Speaker 1: I've become a safer person. I'm still bold and taking chances.
Speaker 1: Mine was gonna be Randy Gregory goes in the top twenty,
Speaker 1: which would mean that you lose yours, so you yeah,
Speaker 1: damn would definitely take that one. That would theory. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm no. I gotta slow down
Speaker 1: a little bit here, has my bets a little bit here,
Speaker 1: let's come down. And it's not like I've inside information.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is going on. Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory goes in the top twenty. You say, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to take it interesting, I have one either. I
Speaker 1: thought that was safe. One should have gone fifteen. I
Speaker 1: guess that could have been more exciting. Let's block and
Speaker 1: tackle Greight. You gotta get through the day. But Bud Dupree,
Speaker 1: Kentucky pass rusher doesn't fall past the Falcons at number eight.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I'll take you up on all right. M hm,
Speaker 1: that's tough. I'm not I'm not gonna goes. I think
Speaker 1: he could go even higher. That guy seems like he's
Speaker 1: getting tons of buzz in the days leading up. Anyone
Speaker 1: named Bud, but a great football player name. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure he gets by the Jets. Mm hmm. That's possible.
Speaker 1: The Jets can go in a lot of different directions.
Speaker 1: Uh so personal, I'm gonna stay away. I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: away where the Browns I take it up. I took
Speaker 1: West up on that one. I only really him one person. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, Mark, you're up, alright. The Browns two number
Speaker 1: one picks twelve and nineteen. They're one of these classic
Speaker 1: dunderheaded franchises that passed on one of the great wide
Speaker 1: receivers last year they desperately need when they got nothing
Speaker 1: going on at the position, and they won't take one
Speaker 1: with either first round pick. M interesting, that means they
Speaker 1: also if they traded the picks, that also would that
Speaker 1: you sure? Right? So they're not gonna take a first
Speaker 1: round wide receiver. I'll jump in on that one. But
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I like that. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that. Gregg has to tell me that was
Speaker 1: a good one though, and it was. That's why I'll
Speaker 1: take you up on that one. Okay, I will too. Actually,
Speaker 1: because they knew there's a serious need there. Brian Hartline
Speaker 1: and Dwayne bow I know. I just don't think they're
Speaker 1: I think possible they don't. This is a win win
Speaker 1: for Mark because at worst you might lose a couple
Speaker 1: of sandwiches. But I think you would be happy if
Speaker 1: they took a wide receiver, would you not? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: worked out when they went high for Mohammed massaqwa that
Speaker 1: was wasn't that high? Give me a break? Waite did
Speaker 1: the second O. Wait, while we're here, I'm just curious,
Speaker 1: who would you like to see the Browns, in the
Speaker 1: best case scenario come out of the first round with well,
Speaker 1: definitely one of the wide receivers and a defensive tackle. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: let's do some uh, let's close it out with some
Speaker 1: onion hangers. Okay, mine has something to do with this
Speaker 1: last one. And um, you know, without getting into too
Speaker 1: much detail on what that term means, it means you're
Speaker 1: let you're hanging it out there. You're you're taking a shot.
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna end up with three people saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll take you up on that, and you could
Speaker 1: be in trouble, but you're you're hanging on you here
Speaker 1: we go. It's a long shot, and you want to
Speaker 1: start correct will because it goes directly off of marks.
Speaker 1: And I think any specific player specific team combo is
Speaker 1: inherently an onion hanger. And I will have the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Brown drafting DeVante Parker. That's it. They will draft DeVante Parker.
Speaker 1: They have been linked to him for that's I could
Speaker 1: see that happen. There's I'll take you, I'll take it
Speaker 1: up just because why not. But I think that's a
Speaker 1: very logical landing spot. Mm hmm, I want to hear it.
Speaker 1: West says, I don't know this one's tough really because
Speaker 1: I feel like they weren't a wide receiver and White
Speaker 1: and Cooper will be off the board. I'm not taking it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take it either. Best case scenario for
Speaker 1: an onion hanger is for knowing to take you up
Speaker 1: on it. I am confident. I just want to. I
Speaker 1: want everyone. It's like West West. It's more fun when
Speaker 1: people take you up on it that you want that anyways.
Speaker 1: All right, uh, I'll tell you what a really onion
Speaker 1: Greg playing a conservative there, it's almost like that shouldn't count.
Speaker 1: But all right, here we go. This is and for
Speaker 1: West and Mark. Just so you know this is an
Speaker 1: onion hanger. Jake Cutler is going to be on the
Speaker 1: Titans by the end of the draft because the Titans
Speaker 1: they want Philip Rivers bad. They want them bad. They
Speaker 1: could taste it. They said, this is we are about
Speaker 1: to pull off a coup and it's gonna be amazing
Speaker 1: and we're gonna end up with a Hall of Fame passer.
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna work out that way because they're
Speaker 1: the Titans. So they're gonna what are they gonna do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna panic and still feel like they gotta make
Speaker 1: a move. They're gonna, you know, forget about the Zach
Speaker 1: Mettenberger smokescreen. They're gonna go get Jay Cutler, bring him
Speaker 1: back home to Tennessee, and away we go. I'm taking that.
Speaker 1: I'll take it too, but it makes some sense. It
Speaker 1: was two decembers ago that Ian Rappaport was sending us
Speaker 1: information that the Titans, the least Titans brass old coaching staff,
Speaker 1: wanted Coulor they were going to make a play for him.
Speaker 1: It would be irresponsible not to take this one. But
Speaker 1: I do like where you're going. It's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I don't think Mariota goes to the Titans, and
Speaker 1: he doesn't fit what every quarterback that was in US
Speaker 1: ever had, you know, is like. And Jake Cutler fits
Speaker 1: that quite well. Makes sense for the Bears too, good one.
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to go back and change
Speaker 1: my Mariota where he goes one. I totally changed my
Speaker 1: Diego business, Baby, San Diego. That was not bad for
Speaker 1: an onion. Hang, Okay, you want to see some really
Speaker 1: twisting in the wind here, just blowing around, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna make Greg feel even worse by the time you're done.
Speaker 1: I would think neither Adrian Peterson nor Philip Rivers gets
Speaker 1: traded on draft weekend, but Eagles linebacker Michael Kendricks does.
Speaker 1: You might have by called Kendricks, he mean Dan's ultimately
Speaker 1: was it was a little windier with his hanging out there.
Speaker 1: You know, I have a light breeze for years. Onions
Speaker 1: got the flu right, hear me a break? That's that's
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts here. You did add a
Speaker 1: lot of components. But I'll take it from I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna take it. I I'm not going to take you.
Speaker 1: I think that all that, all that stuff is gonna
Speaker 1: but I don't think Peterson is gonna be traded. I
Speaker 1: don't think Rivers is gonna be traded, and I think
Speaker 1: the Kendricks will all right, I will take it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the reason it wasn't you know, the first two things
Speaker 1: that you mentioned. At this point, it would be a
Speaker 1: little surprising if Peterson or Rivers got traded they would
Speaker 1: be under I think Rivers could go for sure, that
Speaker 1: should be one of our that that was gonna be
Speaker 1: one of mine. But then it didn't make sense with
Speaker 1: everything else I've said. Yeah, that's when you're getting is
Speaker 1: standing up by the way, swaying. I just feeling I've
Speaker 1: been thinking a lot of shots here today. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, all right, here we go. Johnny Manzel
Speaker 1: will be traded. He's out, he's done, it's over. Check please.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody wants him. That's the biggest problem.
Speaker 1: I could see the Browns getting up on him. I
Speaker 1: can't see anyone being Oh, give me that problem, I
Speaker 1: agree to. I don't think he's not He's not the
Speaker 1: centerpiece of the trade. He's just part of it. But
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff in a box. He's in the box.
Speaker 1: Can I hop on? Oh? Yeah, no, I want to
Speaker 1: take that, but also come in on an onion hand.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw alright, my first cousin, Eddie Goldman, defensive
Speaker 1: tackle for Florida State, is taken in the first round
Speaker 1: by a team in the a f C whose mascot
Speaker 1: is not an animal. I'll take you on. I'll take that.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about Eddie Goldman, but Eddie, Eddie Goldman,
Speaker 1: Eddie Goldman, e golds. Where does he play? He's a
Speaker 1: defensive tackle for Florida State. Draft eligible. He told me
Speaker 1: it passover that he was but who knows. Okay, and
Speaker 1: it gets drafted by a team that has a mascot
Speaker 1: that's not an animal and play in either Jets, Patriots,
Speaker 1: Steelers humans are animals and Patriots. Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah you really. Oh no, we're not doing because Patriots.
Speaker 1: I mean that it's not an animal. Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that Dan is technically correct, but
Speaker 1: well i'll take you out on that as just for
Speaker 1: the fact that you threw a f C in there,
Speaker 1: like we wouldn't have taken that. Those are the onions.
Speaker 1: So roughly half the AFC teams. Well, it's down to
Speaker 1: eight teams. Freddie Goldman, all right, I can't believe that
Speaker 1: this wasn't Golden Tape related. I mean, who's the closest
Speaker 1: we could get. We have Golden that's true, that's fair.
Speaker 1: I'll take you up on that. Gold all right, all right,
Speaker 1: there you go. So there you have. That is the
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen draft edition of Go Get My Lunch,
Speaker 1: Get Tired And because of you know, the heat with
Speaker 1: mar it's very clear. Please everything, everything will be decided
Speaker 1: by Saturday night. Everything will be known and we'll have
Speaker 1: by the time we're back in the student together, we'll
Speaker 1: we'll be able to divvy up who's gonna be buying
Speaker 1: tons of sandwiches. So thank you for listening. We'll be back.
Speaker 1: Here's the rest of the week. West heads off to Chicago.
Speaker 1: Fairly well. West, thank you come home soon, take care
Speaker 1: of yourself and again, Patra can be a banded influence.
Speaker 1: I'll keep him out of trouble. Okay, very good. Uh
Speaker 1: So West will be our man on the street with
Speaker 1: Kevin Patra in Chicago. We'll be back Thursday night after
Speaker 1: the first round of the draft. It cannot stress us
