Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast really support Josh Rosen. Welcome
Speaker 1: to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis, and I'm joined in a room
Speaker 1: filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal.
Speaker 1: What is up? Boys? The two thousand and nineteen NFL
Speaker 1: Draft is in the books. Seven rounds, fifties, six picks
Speaker 1: to it doesn't matter. What matters is teams now? Wow
Speaker 1: slacking this year? The draft less compics less movement in
Speaker 1: days of old. It's one way to look at it.
Speaker 1: It just feels long enough to me, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel it's a long, long event. It was in Nashville,
Speaker 1: and uh tytoon fans always getting on me on Twitter
Speaker 1: because I don't like your quarterback and your team has
Speaker 1: been a little boring for about twenty years. But well,
Speaker 1: what I will say was again the draft. They stumbled
Speaker 1: into this because Radio City Music Hall and the Madison
Speaker 1: Square Garden Company had the audacity to book out that
Speaker 1: facility Radio City about five years ago. Uh booking out
Speaker 1: from under the NFL after the NFL had been in
Speaker 1: that building for you know, decades doing the draft. It
Speaker 1: was a great tradition for the old ZUSA. Was great
Speaker 1: to get back to New York and see family. Everything
Speaker 1: was perfect about it. And then the garden for you
Speaker 1: again James Dolan, that guy, the guy after replace as
Speaker 1: the owner of the Knicks. They go and what leads
Speaker 1: to the NFL going all around the country every year,
Speaker 1: and another great, great setting for the draft. I wish
Speaker 1: we were there. We should be there next year. That's
Speaker 1: enough of the studio stuff. Let's go to the draft
Speaker 1: next year. The Nashville setting looked to me. I know,
Speaker 1: Philly was nice, and Dallas, I guess, but this looked
Speaker 1: like almost an inaugural address um and in the phobous
Speaker 1: ones versus the most recent one, which they hyped up
Speaker 1: to be what it was not. It was massive, and
Speaker 1: but Dan I do a radio city music hall. You
Speaker 1: left with a seismic and lingering back issue with the
Speaker 1: theater seats. That's true. They do have to rip out
Speaker 1: those seats, which were basically put in probably around the
Speaker 1: turn of the twentieth century. So you know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: a smaller human being and there met five ft two men. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 1: long story short, it's it's a huge hit traveling in
Speaker 1: the country it's like lollapalooza at this point. Um, but
Speaker 1: we're going to get through all of um the big
Speaker 1: storylines across the league after the draft, because yes, the
Speaker 1: rosters now that's it. I mean, there will be moves
Speaker 1: that happen in repercussions from the seven rounds over the
Speaker 1: last three days, but the team when you look at
Speaker 1: your favorite team's roster, now you know this is more
Speaker 1: or less. This is it now, Greg, this is what
Speaker 1: you were going to be taken into camp and preparing
Speaker 1: to try to have a successful season. Yeah, for for
Speaker 1: the most part, that's true. There's a few lingering issues.
Speaker 1: Who knows if there could be veteran trade still out there,
Speaker 1: but it didn't happen over this this draft week, and
Speaker 1: which surprised me a little bit. And that means that
Speaker 1: you know what time it is. It's projected starter season
Speaker 1: coming up? Oh yes, one of Gregg Greg's uh most
Speaker 1: famous um uh, you know cycle pieces every every spring
Speaker 1: that one now choose up a lot of column time.
Speaker 1: Doesn't a couple of months, almost two weeks you've called
Speaker 1: it a season, So I would hope it would last
Speaker 1: longer than two weeks. All right, So what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is We're gonna go through all the winners and
Speaker 1: losers in our minds. UH from the NFL draft. Will
Speaker 1: check in on a couple of things including and go
Speaker 1: get my lunch. Uh see where Mark ended up with
Speaker 1: his mock draft, any other final takeaways that we all have.
Speaker 1: But let's start with uh, winners and losers. I'll get
Speaker 1: it going and it will hit on what was the
Speaker 1: main storyline entering the draft, um the Arizona Cardinals, who,
Speaker 1: let's face it, you can we cannot be throwing bouquets
Speaker 1: at the feet of Steve Come and Michael bid Will
Speaker 1: and everyone else connected with that organization because it is
Speaker 1: really bad at the end of the day. To me,
Speaker 1: I don't care if there was a regime change that
Speaker 1: you drafted, you moved up to take a quarterback in
Speaker 1: the top ten, and then the very next year you
Speaker 1: take another quarterback. It's just not a good look. But
Speaker 1: that's in the past now, and that's why to me
Speaker 1: they're a winner is not only did they ultimately decide
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is a superstar and waiting that, paired with
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, is going to take Arizona out of the
Speaker 1: Dulgiums and fast the way we hear people that love
Speaker 1: Murray as a prospect. They also then were able to
Speaker 1: um on Friday pull the trigger on a deal to
Speaker 1: get Josh Rosen, last year's number one pick, out of town.
Speaker 1: They send him to Miami. Do they get back a
Speaker 1: first round of note? But they do get back a
Speaker 1: second rounder, which is better than I expected, and I
Speaker 1: think some of the people expected it would be even
Speaker 1: worse than that. So they get it. They get a
Speaker 1: two back, and they get that the bad juju around
Speaker 1: Rosen and the you know un following on Instagram the
Speaker 1: Cardinals after the draft, and just the bad vibe of
Speaker 1: have the two of them in the building. So what
Speaker 1: they get is what they needed. This is a totally
Speaker 1: fresh start for this organization, UH, with Kyler Murray as
Speaker 1: the face of the franchise going forward, from play caller
Speaker 1: to quarterback, to receiving corps to offensive line. This was
Speaker 1: a sub NFL level offense last year, and now you've
Speaker 1: got a new quarterback, a new play caller. You signed
Speaker 1: three offensive linemen and free agency, got two more healthy
Speaker 1: after being injured, and you've completely revamped your wide receiver
Speaker 1: corps adding Andy Isabella, Kim Butler, and case Shawn Johnson.
Speaker 1: This is you're not gonna be able to identify this offense.
Speaker 1: To me, it looks like a grand experiment with Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and Kyler Murray, right, and they're kind of following
Speaker 1: the Rams model, except I think it's gonna be even
Speaker 1: more uh new school and spread and and just aggressive
Speaker 1: throwing the ball because of Kyler Murray just because he
Speaker 1: brings something different table. But when you look at the
Speaker 1: receivers that they got, Isabella maybe kind of like that
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's type. Kim Butler just this monstrous receiver that
Speaker 1: the draft of Nicks loved. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: people had him in their top fifteen to twenty even
Speaker 1: ten eight didn't get taken until the fourth round. But
Speaker 1: like a red zone type. You got Christian Kirk, you
Speaker 1: have Larry Fitzgerald. They're all different flavors. You have David
Speaker 1: Johnson to the point where you can kind of see
Speaker 1: and Asabelle as the guy they ultimately got for Rosen
Speaker 1: So you got a significant player at the end of
Speaker 1: the second round. Like you have all these different flavors,
Speaker 1: I'm expecting them to be entertaining Week one, Week two.
Speaker 1: They might not be great, but I'm expecting them to
Speaker 1: be four or five win type of team and if
Speaker 1: nothing else, like, I'm gonna want to watch him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it's you know, it kind of reminds
Speaker 1: me of the year when we were hit with suddenly
Speaker 1: the r G three and the read option for the
Speaker 1: first time into some degree in the NFL, and it
Speaker 1: caught the league by storm, and it was how do
Speaker 1: you solve this? How long can it? Lastly, it is
Speaker 1: cool when you see a completely new offense to some
Speaker 1: degree hit the scene, I will say, And he's not
Speaker 1: a winner, Josh Rosen. It's been a rough couple of
Speaker 1: months for him, about as rough as you could imagine
Speaker 1: for your first full offseason as a first round quarterback.
Speaker 1: You thought this would be the off season when you
Speaker 1: take charge and take hold of the team. But I
Speaker 1: will say for him being the guy that's noted for
Speaker 1: his um extra personality and and being a little bit
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, modernize for old school coaches, I
Speaker 1: love what he did today. He didn't have to do anything,
Speaker 1: but he put out a essentially a video and he
Speaker 1: spent the first three minutes of it, thanking the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: thanking their coaches, thanking the fans, and then he went
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins. You don't have to do that, he
Speaker 1: you know, he he did everything right over the past
Speaker 1: month or so, and I don't again, it's smart to
Speaker 1: do it, and you don't have to be a genius
Speaker 1: to do it this way, because it would have hurt
Speaker 1: his trade value and he wanted out of town. But
Speaker 1: he went to voluntary workouts, he went through all that
Speaker 1: he was practicing on the day they drafted. It's pretty straight.
Speaker 1: I mean, he and and we'll play it a little
Speaker 1: bit later. Steve Smith of NFL Network absolutely destroyed rosen
Speaker 1: Um yesterday on on air, and maybe we'll play it later.
Speaker 1: But I think he did pretty much everything right. I
Speaker 1: don't get hung up about the Instagram thing, even even once.
Speaker 1: I think Larry FitzGeralds um Softball charity softball game scheduled
Speaker 1: for today. He leaves the nice message and now goes
Speaker 1: to Miami fresh start. He's twenty two years old. He
Speaker 1: started thirteen games as as a one year old. I
Speaker 1: think he has a chance to be really good. And
Speaker 1: that's why I have Chris Greer and the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: as a big time winner, because whether Rosen works out
Speaker 1: or not, I don't think you can doubt the process
Speaker 1: they used to get him. They didn't use their first
Speaker 1: round pick on him. Uh, they didn't even use their
Speaker 1: number forty eight overall pick on him. They made the
Speaker 1: Cardinals waited out, they traded down with the Saints. They
Speaker 1: pick up a second round pick, and then they trade
Speaker 1: the pick for Josh Rosen. So it was almost like
Speaker 1: you got him for a free like you're gonna have
Speaker 1: that pick next year. You got him for for so little,
Speaker 1: and you can evaluate him during this season. He might
Speaker 1: not be the Week one starter, but he'll start at
Speaker 1: some point and you'll be able to make a more
Speaker 1: informed decision about possibly taking a quarterback a year from now.
Speaker 1: If you don't have a franchise quarterback, I think you
Speaker 1: should take a swing every year. And I'd rather have
Speaker 1: him than Haskins. I'd rather have him than Daniel Johns.
Speaker 1: He'll be comfort about with the surrounding talent in Miami
Speaker 1: because there's a lot like last year's in Arizona. That's
Speaker 1: that is the problem. The one thing is you would
Speaker 1: if if you want to make the case Chado Shay,
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator from the Patriots. You know that that
Speaker 1: the kind of parcels a heart offense is really built
Speaker 1: around the quarterback strength to start, it's uh, you know, guy,
Speaker 1: it's you know, evaluating what you're gonna do before the snap.
Speaker 1: After the snap, it hopefully helps out a smart quarterback
Speaker 1: like Rosen And you have Jim called while there as
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks coach. Assistant head coach has done a pretty
Speaker 1: good job with quarters. I think the Dolphins. The hope
Speaker 1: started for the Dolphins. And it's no knock on Mike
Speaker 1: Tannenbaum for what he's done in general, but when they
Speaker 1: shifted away from him, they brought in Chris. Chris Career
Speaker 1: was there but to allow the plan. And you know,
Speaker 1: Evan Silva's talked about it with astro Ball and that
Speaker 1: someone in there got on that plan. And but the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: who starves started over a hundred thousand times, have a plan.
Speaker 1: Now you have you got a quarterback at all essentially
Speaker 1: zero cost on your cap who has a lot of potential.
Speaker 1: And for me, the winner is the A. The rest
Speaker 1: of the a f C East and we need to
Speaker 1: see it first, but there is some hope because a
Speaker 1: the The experience of the New England Patriots is at
Speaker 1: a critical mass point where your quarterback is a couple
Speaker 1: of years away from being forty five years old. You've
Speaker 1: lost Rob Gronkowski. I believe in what the Bills are
Speaker 1: doing from a team building perspective. They've had a couple
Speaker 1: of good drafts in a row. Like the head coach,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins finally have a plan, and I know that
Speaker 1: there's some buzz around Mike mccagnet and Adam Gaze maybe
Speaker 1: not getting along right now, but let's see how that
Speaker 1: shakes out. Mike mccagnet, I thought to two years in
Speaker 1: a row is helped change that team. The Jets are
Speaker 1: not a lost ship the way they were. There are
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in place here. That has not been the case
Speaker 1: in so long that that division, which has been just
Speaker 1: handed to one team since essentially two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: It's I hope that that will change now there's actually
Speaker 1: something to look at. Brady is the only quarterback on
Speaker 1: the division that wasn't a top ten pick in last
Speaker 1: year's draft. You know, if Frozen gets the starting job,
Speaker 1: I mean the problem The issue with Miami, though, is
Speaker 1: it's nice to have this plan, you gotta get some players. Well,
Speaker 1: they're the worst team in the NFL by from but
Speaker 1: that's okay, right now, it's okay, right. I love what
Speaker 1: the Bills and Jets have done. I would totally remove
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and say they they're not even a two
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen proposition. And I did see someone either on
Speaker 1: network coverage or on Twitter said, well, now that the
Speaker 1: Dolphins have Josh Rosen, they're gonna be in the same
Speaker 1: situation as the Cardinals with rosen next year potential. He's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's a totally separate situation. Rosen's getting paid peanuts because
Speaker 1: the Dolphins don't even have to pay out the big
Speaker 1: first round bonus, so they this is a perfect evaluation
Speaker 1: window with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a perfect backup quarter. If
Speaker 1: you think about it, I mean he's made Rosen is
Speaker 1: making less money over the course of his contract, then
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy is making this year, then Chase Daniel made
Speaker 1: a year ago. Well you see, if if he wound
Speaker 1: up being a backup, he's incredibly cheap. And I still
Speaker 1: I still believe that he has a lot more potential
Speaker 1: than that. What I also like, he wasn't throw stun
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. They talked about Shadow Shay and Brian
Speaker 1: Flores being very involved in the trade negotiations and that
Speaker 1: they want him there, so it's not another bad situation
Speaker 1: for Josh Rosen. Ultimately, West, give me another winner. Look
Speaker 1: look to the hat right now. West is wearing an
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Cults hat. And I didn't even give me pause.
Speaker 1: And I saw I was like, oh, West is a
Speaker 1: Cults fan. That makes sense. We love this team. Well
Speaker 1: they are. Now what really impresses me, and I'm taking
Speaker 1: a step back and looking at the macro view. Here
Speaker 1: they are in sort of a two thousand four Patriots
Speaker 1: mode right now without the Super Bowl titles. But they're
Speaker 1: using every draft to stockpile young talent by taking the
Speaker 1: best player available, adding team speed. Because Chris Ballard did
Speaker 1: such a good job, what's your favorite, I'm immediately taking
Speaker 1: a baron roster and getting to the point where you
Speaker 1: can take best player available and stockpile picks for the
Speaker 1: next year every year. So he's already stockpiled an extra
Speaker 1: second rounder for next year. He gets two or three
Speaker 1: second rounder every year. What he did with that Jets
Speaker 1: trade in the windfall has basically set this organization up
Speaker 1: to be a contender for a long long time. And
Speaker 1: I tweeted that yesterday, and to me, it was pretty
Speaker 1: revealing that not one single troll, not one single hater,
Speaker 1: not one single pessimist came into my mentions and said,
Speaker 1: you're crazy. The cults are a joke. They're not that good.
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows this team is set up. Well,
Speaker 1: this is who they got for Sam Donald in the end,
Speaker 1: with the picks that they traded. They got Quentin Nelson,
Speaker 1: star player. They got Brandon Smith who quietly had a
Speaker 1: great rookie season as a starting tackle, which is very valuable.
Speaker 1: They got Jordan Wilkins and Comeco Terrey who are too
Speaker 1: later round picks. And they got rock you sin uh West,
Speaker 1: I mean Marks Bulls. These names they drafted E J. Speed,
Speaker 1: Marvel Tell, what a great name Marvel Tell is well
Speaker 1: they and you know, I guess it's because they had
Speaker 1: such a good draft last year that I just assumed
Speaker 1: these picks are gonna be I'm just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Rock your sin, what a value, what a fit for them.
Speaker 1: When they drafted Paris Campbell, who was a guy I
Speaker 1: thought the Patriots might be interested in with one of
Speaker 1: their second round picks because he's got that wide receiver
Speaker 1: running back like Percy Harvin, Cordell Patterson kind of feel
Speaker 1: you can use them in different sorts of ways. And
Speaker 1: he's just explosive, exactly what the And that's that's what
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like you, because they've built up this
Speaker 1: quick track record, You're like, oh, well that's perfect. That's
Speaker 1: they're gonna know how to use Paris Campbell because that's
Speaker 1: what Frank right right does. That asks on the flip side,
Speaker 1: from a loser standpoint, do the Texans have the correct
Speaker 1: team building people in place to keep up with the Colts,
Speaker 1: keep up with at Pearl River, and keep up with
Speaker 1: the Titans too Well, I think the difference between the
Speaker 1: Colts and the Texans right now is how top heavy
Speaker 1: the Texans are. They have the stars, but the Colts
Speaker 1: are building incredible depth right now and the Texans, I
Speaker 1: think you questioned their depth. Well, what one thing that
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't talk about on the show that
Speaker 1: really stuck out to me this week was the worth
Speaker 1: that Jadevian Clowney could be available in a trade which
Speaker 1: didn't happen. And you know, none of these potential big
Speaker 1: trades happen. That's why I do wonder if there could
Speaker 1: be anything still hanging out there. Nelson, Aguilar and Clowney
Speaker 1: would be two names I would think about in the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, especially Clowney, but it's hard to
Speaker 1: imagine he would get traded now. Thomas out there, Clowney,
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe if you have Jif Devian Clowney
Speaker 1: in your building, that you're letting him go out. Um,
Speaker 1: let's move to losers. We can jump around a loser.
Speaker 1: Um gotta bring up the Giants. You can't ignore it.
Speaker 1: And uh as some of that grew up in New
Speaker 1: York and just as a Jets fan, how hard it's
Speaker 1: been to not only see your team just struggle for
Speaker 1: decades and decades, but then have everyone, for instance, in
Speaker 1: the town where I grew up with was Giants fans,
Speaker 1: and just be so envious of how well run that
Speaker 1: organization has been for what feels like thirty years. And
Speaker 1: that's probably not that far off. I mean, winning Uber Bowls.
Speaker 1: Uh always in the mix down seasons, mixed in every
Speaker 1: once in a while, but sooner or later they always
Speaker 1: get it back together and get back on a run.
Speaker 1: They've just been one of the best run franchises UH
Speaker 1: in the league UM over that time. And that's just
Speaker 1: not the case right now. And and this is the
Speaker 1: time of year where people jump to conclusions late in
Speaker 1: April and say, this team had a terrible draft, this
Speaker 1: team had a good draft, when actually no one knows,
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll see and maybe the sixth overall I'll
Speaker 1: pick Daniel Jones turns into a big time player for them.
Speaker 1: Maybe these other players that Dave Gettleman brought in will
Speaker 1: make the Giants a more um competitive team after two
Speaker 1: straight last place finishes. But everyone that is killing the
Speaker 1: Giants right now it is completely fair because they don't
Speaker 1: seem to have a plan in place, there's no consistency
Speaker 1: to what they're doing. And by having Eli Manning still
Speaker 1: in the building, and then the press conference that Gettleman
Speaker 1: and the Giants give in which Getleman talks about out
Speaker 1: how um he's following these models of other teams like
Speaker 1: the Packers, how Eli could be starting for three years
Speaker 1: and all this it's just inflaming a fan base that
Speaker 1: lost its patients when Odell Beckham got traded. And then
Speaker 1: you followed up with a hyper controversial draft where you
Speaker 1: no longer have the benefit of the doubt of your
Speaker 1: fan base. So you're getting absolutely roasted and it's not
Speaker 1: unfair the Giants. After years and years and years of stability,
Speaker 1: UM seemed to be teetering on the brink of disaster,
Speaker 1: and Uh, a calumnist for NJ dot com, UM wrote
Speaker 1: a really good piece about this that Dave Gentleman, if
Speaker 1: this goes wrong with Jones and this draft, class will
Speaker 1: be the man who ruined the Giants, that will be
Speaker 1: his legacy. That will be UH in his obituary, that
Speaker 1: will be on his tombstone. I ruined the Giants. Well
Speaker 1: that the ruining started year a few years ago, I
Speaker 1: I believe, But hir with Macado, I mean this is
Speaker 1: it's very similar. You're right there's been a decline, but
Speaker 1: what's happened over the last a few months. If Jones
Speaker 1: can't play Gettleman's fate, I totally agree with you and
Speaker 1: I and you're so right that the giants um demise
Speaker 1: has roots that go far beyond Gettleman's arrival previous to that.
Speaker 1: But then he's the guy that people remember and think
Speaker 1: about talk radio growing up listen to w F A
Speaker 1: n who can get over this if you're a run
Speaker 1: of the mill Giants fan. You gave up Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: for a defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence Jabrill Pepper's a up
Speaker 1: and down safety with clear flaws and some strengths, and
Speaker 1: a defensive end that no one can pronounce his last name.
Speaker 1: I don't O'Shane exemin Yes, I mean this is what
Speaker 1: you doesn't make him a bad player, but you know
Speaker 1: what he could be. He could be a two time
Speaker 1: Pro bowler over the years. And well, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: brought up the defensive players though, because as much as
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is gonna kind of right the history of
Speaker 1: the Gettleman era, the more immediate pressure is on their
Speaker 1: defense to get better. Is one of the very worst
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. And they got rid of two
Speaker 1: of their best players in Olivier Vernon in Landon Collins.
Speaker 1: And this draft, when you look past Jones, was all
Speaker 1: about defense. They drafted a cornerback in the supplemental draft
Speaker 1: last year that never played. That was their third round pick.
Speaker 1: They drafted a first round corner DeAndre Baker, another fourth
Speaker 1: round corner pass rusher that you mentioned, uh and then
Speaker 1: you had Dexter Lawrence. So this is all these defensive
Speaker 1: picks and James Betcher, who had a nice run as
Speaker 1: a coordinator in Arizona, did not do a good job
Speaker 1: with the Giants last year, and it's like that defense
Speaker 1: needs to be better fast, because I don't think you
Speaker 1: can expect Eli Manning to be outscoring teams along with
Speaker 1: the Giants. I look at teams losers for me, or
Speaker 1: teams that you have one thing about the I think
Speaker 1: the most depressing thing to me if I'm a fan,
Speaker 1: is that all of their major acquisitions seem like a
Speaker 1: destitutes man's version of the player they're replacing, from Eli
Speaker 1: to Olivier Vernon two Snacks to Landon Collins to Beckham too.
Speaker 1: I guess DeAndre Baker might be better than Eli Apple,
Speaker 1: so that's one, but everyone else is a lesser version
Speaker 1: than what you got, and every one of those players
Speaker 1: were surrounded in in confusing pr messaging from the GM
Speaker 1: on down and I and Jones has to overcome the
Speaker 1: fact that no one like It was a tough couple
Speaker 1: of days for Jones. You get drafted numbers six overall,
Speaker 1: you expect that to be exciting. He's hearing all this criticis, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's been put in a terrible spot. I mean it's
Speaker 1: along with the Giants, teams that simply have had roster
Speaker 1: disasters occur or potential roster disasters and have to use
Speaker 1: the draft to just fill what looked like holes. The Chiefs,
Speaker 1: what's going on with Tyreek Hill. So suddenly you have
Speaker 1: to turn around and draft wide receivers who like in
Speaker 1: New York, are gonna be lesser than Tyreek Hill. These
Speaker 1: Seahawks potentially losing Doug Baldwin we find out this week,
Speaker 1: and he may walk away because of an injury situation.
Speaker 1: DK metcalf fine, but there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are not high on DK metcalf and he has
Speaker 1: to go in and somehow, in theory be better than
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin. That's not how you want your draft to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he calf is, you know, an outside guy. Baldwin's replaceable.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's the most valuable receiver they've
Speaker 1: had in the Russell Wilson era and had a great
Speaker 1: mind meld with Wilson and and Metcalfe, you know, for
Speaker 1: that part of the draft was the last pick basically
Speaker 1: the second round could be a good value. He's a
Speaker 1: big guy. But they were. They were number one on
Speaker 1: my loser's list. But just because it kind of came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, we don't know how these rookies are
Speaker 1: going to be. But knowing that Doug Baldwin UH is
Speaker 1: examining the end of his career and the way that
Speaker 1: the front office talked about broken that broke on Friday,
Speaker 1: He's had a ton of surgeries and what they said
Speaker 1: was they're working through the process with the league and
Speaker 1: the players Union having to deal with some stuff with Baldwin,
Speaker 1: which tells me, or at least indicates they're probably working
Speaker 1: on some contractual stuff in terms of his guaranteed money
Speaker 1: in a very similar way to Camp Chancellor that his
Speaker 1: career might be over, but they're trying to figure out
Speaker 1: the money and that's a killer loss for the c
Speaker 1: If you said that Doug Baldwin is the most underrated
Speaker 1: skill position player of the last half decade, I think
Speaker 1: every Seahawks FAMI would be nodding. In unison um, you
Speaker 1: brought up the the Chiefs and the Tyreek Hill replacement
Speaker 1: who they hope to be. UH. The Georgia player Hardman,
Speaker 1: and it's just to me, it is such a bad
Speaker 1: situation obviously. I mean, it's a tragic situation when you
Speaker 1: look at the what's going on with Tyrek Hill and
Speaker 1: and all that. And for the Chiefs, this is a
Speaker 1: team that was right on the doorstep of the super
Speaker 1: Bowl and now they're in a place where there's this
Speaker 1: drama unfolding on the first night of the draft and
Speaker 1: then the next night of the draft. They are essentially
Speaker 1: what it all seems like, is your replacing Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: with this kid, and for a team that's super Bowl
Speaker 1: or bus mode, that seems like a risky move. They
Speaker 1: have to do it. It's a roll of the dice.
Speaker 1: They're gonna hope that he'll hit the ground running. If not,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is not going to be the same producer
Speaker 1: he was last year. That's how big Hill was. So
Speaker 1: it's just a massive um roll of the dice and
Speaker 1: hope that they could plug and play this kid and
Speaker 1: find ways to put up points the way they did
Speaker 1: last year. And they're just vulnerable. The Chiefs are in
Speaker 1: a way that I would never have imagined it. Um
Speaker 1: in January in a division where the Chargers only got
Speaker 1: better and they and they kept, you know, releasing There
Speaker 1: were at least a few more statements on Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: but they all were kind of the same that essentially
Speaker 1: that he's been sent home from team activity. They said
Speaker 1: that you're the chiefs owner made a statement that he
Speaker 1: was deeply disturbed. They have not indicated yet that they're
Speaker 1: going to release him. The public is not going to
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, I'm not sure what the what the
Speaker 1: timing like, Well, we'll just have to see. It's an
Speaker 1: impossible situation for the team to be in. I mean,
Speaker 1: they knew what they were getting into with Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: when they drafted him, So it's not like it's a
Speaker 1: total look what happened to us here. But the longer
Speaker 1: the straws out, you can't just keep on putting out
Speaker 1: statements saying I've disappointed you are. People are gonna want actions,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna intensify um the pressure and bad vibes
Speaker 1: around the team. It's a it's a very tough about
Speaker 1: there in Well, Tarik Hill is not an exception. This
Speaker 1: is the chickens are coming home to roost on an
Speaker 1: organizational philosophy about taking chances on players with character issues,
Speaker 1: and I wonder John Dorsey is part of that kind
Speaker 1: of take taking that with him a little bit to Cleveland.
Speaker 1: At least if what happened the last two days happened
Speaker 1: last week, I wonder if the Frank Clark trade would
Speaker 1: have gone down considering his past. I'm gonna throw out
Speaker 1: another loser for the week, Joe Flacco. Who is grouchier
Speaker 1: about having a between West and Greg Right, No, I'll
Speaker 1: go ahead, Greig. Well, I'm just saying who is grouchier
Speaker 1: about having a rookie quarterback behind him? I don't blame
Speaker 1: him than Joe Flacco last year. And then he made
Speaker 1: he made some comments since bred Farves I made some
Speaker 1: comments leading up into the draft. Uh that made it clear,
Speaker 1: of course he doesn't want them to draft a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: He really didn't want it with number ten, but he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want this team to get in the best position
Speaker 1: possible to be at its best with me at the
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Obviously, Uh, it's not that important. It's not
Speaker 1: of the most important to draft a quarterback. If we do,
Speaker 1: that's completely out of my control. And they take Drew
Speaker 1: Lock number forty two overall, who is different than Flacco.
Speaker 1: Both has a big arm um kind of you know,
Speaker 1: is getting the reputation, you know, maybe the profile of
Speaker 1: a of a Cutler type and you know, gonna take
Speaker 1: a lot of chances, has a big arm kind of
Speaker 1: fun to watch. But Flacca has got to know they're
Speaker 1: three and five fans are gonna want him, and and
Speaker 1: and he's always hamp at guy and Mike Clice, who
Speaker 1: you know, seems to have a pretty good bee line
Speaker 1: into always mind said Drew lock was the number one
Speaker 1: quarterback on the Broncos board, which is something we heard
Speaker 1: before the draft. So even though he was taking forty
Speaker 1: second overall, to me, that means they think he's a
Speaker 1: first round type of talent. And flaccoes, you know, starts
Speaker 1: the year with a short leash. I mean, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1: I would say all that is fair. I would look
Speaker 1: at it slightly differently that Joe Flacco got no a
Speaker 1: fan which he desperate. He got Dalton Reisner and he
Speaker 1: needs they need to hear your offensive line help, and
Speaker 1: they waited to the second round to take a quarterback
Speaker 1: who was not NFL ready. If you're Joe Flacco, you say, hey,
Speaker 1: the offense is better this team can be a contender
Speaker 1: if I play up to my potential. If I don't
Speaker 1: get it done, I don't get it done. And all
Speaker 1: you're asking for. The only disturbing DNA is that if
Speaker 1: you're You're Flacco and you're in that stage of your
Speaker 1: career where wherever you go, people are drafting the guy
Speaker 1: behind you. And all last offseason we thought about Flacco
Speaker 1: is sort of, oh, we're not gonna see Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: He's not ready to go. Well, as soon as they
Speaker 1: removed Joe Flacco they go on like a six seven
Speaker 1: game run to the playoffs. There's some thought that, oh, well,
Speaker 1: if Joe Flacco is holding the offense back at all,
Speaker 1: we've got this guy we drafted. It worked for the Ravens.
Speaker 1: It's a different situation put the young guys, and I
Speaker 1: think he's as annoying, like on a day to day
Speaker 1: level that he's gonna have to answer questions about it.
Speaker 1: Every single press is gonna be in the in the
Speaker 1: room with with your lock. But I would give John
Speaker 1: always taking a lot of fire on this. But I
Speaker 1: think a nice little winner job because he traded down
Speaker 1: for fans. He used that pick to wind up trading
Speaker 1: back up for Lock and I and I agree, the
Speaker 1: talent that he got was pretty intriguing. I'm with you
Speaker 1: on that, and I you know, I'm always getting on
Speaker 1: l Way, But I think and I didn't think he
Speaker 1: was going to take a quarterback in the first round.
Speaker 1: He didn't the second round and taking him without having
Speaker 1: a trade up, and he and you and you just
Speaker 1: get him at forty trade up. Sorry, but he did
Speaker 1: get at forty two. Overall, there's not an outstanding amount
Speaker 1: of pressure on l Way to nail this one like
Speaker 1: it would have been if he took Lock at ten,
Speaker 1: for instance. Uh So, it gives you a little bit
Speaker 1: of leeway there as the boss. And then on top
Speaker 1: of it, just gives the organization more flexibility because he
Speaker 1: may really believe in Flacco, um and other people may
Speaker 1: really believe in Flacco. But if it doesn't work out
Speaker 1: before this strap, they would really have nowhere to go,
Speaker 1: and now they do. Now they have a kid they
Speaker 1: could put into the mix, and the organization just has
Speaker 1: more flexibility. Insurance has sold for a reason. Absolutely, how
Speaker 1: about another winner? Anybody got another winner? Can I throw
Speaker 1: up my loser first? Okay? Yeah, I have Chris Westling.
Speaker 1: I hate to do this to my hometown, but I
Speaker 1: don't know the Bengals defense to borrow at Patrick Claybon
Speaker 1: term was trash juice for most of last year. And
Speaker 1: the biggest impact player they've they've added is what a
Speaker 1: third round linebacker Jermaine Pratt. They did not improve this
Speaker 1: defense nearly enough from last season. They they probably think
Speaker 1: they're getting some players back from injury, especially in the secondary,
Speaker 1: would help, but I'm with you that on on paper,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's quite enough. I think a quick,
Speaker 1: a quick winner would be the Niners defense. You had
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, You've had a d Ford DeForrest Buckner's there,
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead. Solomon Thomas was whispered as a trade Kennedy,
Speaker 1: but he's still around you if you're Roberts, So if
Speaker 1: you're the defensive Cordey, you don't have a real reason
Speaker 1: for this defense not to take a major step forward.
Speaker 1: I think a winner and unfortunately lose. The losers are
Speaker 1: football fans. Also would be Andy Dalton, because that's great
Speaker 1: that you took Ryan Finley, but if you go read
Speaker 1: the scouting report on Ryan Finley, it sounds like almost
Speaker 1: a shakier version of Ryan of Andy Dalton. They jumped
Speaker 1: at him to be the backup. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He's essentially back up. And yeah, they traded up for it.
Speaker 1: But Driscoll played last year and said, we need a
Speaker 1: better backup. It's the opposite of Arizona, where it said
Speaker 1: we have a coach who's a young offensive mind, and
Speaker 1: we're going to mold this team and give you everything
Speaker 1: you need the same way that Kyle Shanahan was treated
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. You're Zach Taylor. You're stuck with Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton and very little else has changed. Like, who would
Speaker 1: you if you were looking to upgrade Dalton and this draft?
Speaker 1: Who would you? I'm not saying it's the greatest draft
Speaker 1: of all time, but they I would say it's the
Speaker 1: It's the eighth or ninth year in a row where
Speaker 1: they refused to bring in a real challenger to Haskins.
Speaker 1: They could have taken Haskins, but I think they thought
Speaker 1: that wasn't big enough of a difference. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: between Dalton, but they've evaluated this poor lead for almost
Speaker 1: a decade at this point. At this point, you got
Speaker 1: to give them a little bit of a fresh start.
Speaker 1: I think they'd like to see what Taylor can do
Speaker 1: with Dalton, and you get the sense that's how he
Speaker 1: sold himself to them to get the job, to at
Speaker 1: least see what they look like together for one year.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not. I mean, to me, that is
Speaker 1: a raging yawn. Like I it is that team needs
Speaker 1: a fresh start at quarterback. Two words you don't usually
Speaker 1: here together. But I like, like they're they're playing at
Speaker 1: the trouber door later tonight. It's like when Greg described
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams is wildly patient. Um, Greg, it's happening. It's
Speaker 1: the second time, and I think three weeks I have
Speaker 1: to say this, but the loser here is your boy,
Speaker 1: the inconvenient truth and maybe any bills running back over
Speaker 1: the age of thirty, because you know, they go and
Speaker 1: they get t j yelled in a nice young third
Speaker 1: down back and then they draft this guy, uh, this kid,
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. So now Gore's in a tough spot because
Speaker 1: they also said afterwards, Sean McCoy, that's what I thought,
Speaker 1: But one or both of those guys are history. Brandon
Speaker 1: being you know, because he got that question after the
Speaker 1: draft said Lashawn McCoy is going to be part of
Speaker 1: our team. He's an important Frank, We're going to be
Speaker 1: a gunner on this team. What's the move? I mean
Speaker 1: gore or yelled in or both won't make the team.
Speaker 1: They can make. They can save some serious coin if
Speaker 1: they move on from Lashawn McCoy. Yeah, or not or
Speaker 1: another general manager was just standing at the podium line
Speaker 1: teeth like which like we've seen throughout the office, Leshawn
Speaker 1: McCoy also apparently and I'm not really plugged in on
Speaker 1: the superhero movies, but oh yeah, spoiled this new Avengers
Speaker 1: people are really a huge story. It was all over
Speaker 1: the world. It was like a cork or of because
Speaker 1: I I read it once I saw the story because
Speaker 1: I don't care about the spoiler, and uh and it was.
Speaker 1: It was. It was pretty. It was as spoiler as
Speaker 1: you can. And then he backed it up with even
Speaker 1: more like he he didn't multiples. And that's fine if
Speaker 1: we think it's funny because you don't care about Avengers.
Speaker 1: I don't care about any But if you were, like,
Speaker 1: then stay off Twitter before you see the movie, like
Speaker 1: that's on you. But it can't. But Greg, that's a
Speaker 1: little bit crazy just to blame everyone else. That's a
Speaker 1: that's an a whole move by Leon. I'm saying, if
Speaker 1: it's that important life, alright, that's what I'm saying. There's
Speaker 1: there's there's evidence that he's this kind of guy. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I didn't do it to it. It says something
Speaker 1: about these um Marvel fans. Leshawn McCoy could treat people
Speaker 1: like trash for the last eight years, over and over
Speaker 1: and over again, and they don't have a problem with
Speaker 1: it until he reveals. Why are we assuming they don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with that? They probam most of them
Speaker 1: probably didn't even know who Leshaun mcoy was until this happened.
Speaker 1: Talking about football writers who have been voicing them, Well
Speaker 1: that that's fine, but what if they Now you're all
Speaker 1: in on Game of Thrones West, what if he came
Speaker 1: in and dropped here so it could happen to you? Here? Here,
Speaker 1: here's here's here's a note. I don't care ever about spoilers.
Speaker 1: Why I care that much about spoilers? It's on me.
Speaker 1: That's fine, But you are a You are not in
Speaker 1: the majority when it comes to this. People need to
Speaker 1: get a lot. So we're just gonna take everyone else down.
Speaker 1: It's so great what Leshawn McCoy did. He's no, it's not.
Speaker 1: I have huge problems he did, butlers just like it
Speaker 1: was based on the tone of it. I don't think
Speaker 1: in this case, I know it's amazing. This is the
Speaker 1: most fire up the room because I don't like right
Speaker 1: away like just just I'm not it's going to make
Speaker 1: more money than any movie ever. Everyone who goes to
Speaker 1: see it stay off Twitter for five days because Lashawn
Speaker 1: McCoy wants to have his fun. I'm just saying, if
Speaker 1: it's that important to you that it's really going to
Speaker 1: cause consternation, yeah, or see the movie, right. And of
Speaker 1: course it was clear from the way he wrote it,
Speaker 1: by the way it was like it wasn't He wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to spoil he was like excited to talk about
Speaker 1: the movie and just like, wow, it's crazy that Like,
Speaker 1: isn't that crazy? Bros? You know? Just um And of
Speaker 1: course the spoiler is that Captain America and the incredible
Speaker 1: Hulk um Love become Communists and moved to Russia. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could have seen that coming if you I mean,
Speaker 1: we not watch these but if you had you'd see
Speaker 1: that coming. And yes, re established the communist stronghold that
Speaker 1: we've never seen before. Political. How about a winner the
Speaker 1: Patriots offensive physicality While the rest of the league is
Speaker 1: spreading out speak. Yeah, while the rest of the league
Speaker 1: is spreading out and getting lighter, I feel like the
Speaker 1: Patriots are doubling down on what worked for them at
Speaker 1: the end of last season, which was getting a little
Speaker 1: more condensed, uh, be a little more physical. They get
Speaker 1: a physical receiver and Nikile Harry who can take some
Speaker 1: of those red zone snaps. They get Damien Harris, very
Speaker 1: surprising pick to me, uh, the starting running back over
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs who was the first round pick for the
Speaker 1: Raiders at Alabama, Who's a physical, big running back. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've got a million running backs right now. They take
Speaker 1: a right tackle type at the end of the third round,
Speaker 1: and I mostly like that. They actually took their picks
Speaker 1: for the most part. They moved around the board, but
Speaker 1: they took six guys in the first three rounds, right
Speaker 1: or five guys in the first three rounds. They took
Speaker 1: a second round pick. They want years without these top
Speaker 1: sixty picks, and they need some lifeblood, like they need
Speaker 1: Jowan Williams their cornerback. They need Chase one of which
Speaker 1: uh to come through because it just doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of young players on this roster right now. But
Speaker 1: they're all kind of of the same type physical back
Speaker 1: in on the Patriots. I like, I mean, I want
Speaker 1: to see these uh. I want to see him be competitive.
Speaker 1: I think they'll be competitive. I don't think everybody about that. UH.
Speaker 1: And one last time, I will call it him a loser,
Speaker 1: but we a loser or someone that's you know, in danger.
Speaker 1: But back earlier this month, UH, we talked about who
Speaker 1: should be nervous about the NFL Draft. I remember bringing
Speaker 1: up Todd Gurley is one of them. And then you know,
Speaker 1: maybe the Rams find somebody that's gonna potentially take some
Speaker 1: of his workload. Well, the Rams did take a running
Speaker 1: back in the third round. Sean McVeigh was on NFL
Speaker 1: Network and kind of played the whole thing down and
Speaker 1: and and said, it's just another complimentary offense. Perhaps it is,
Speaker 1: but it's something that bears to bear watching here because
Speaker 1: we don't know what the status is. He's a really
Speaker 1: different type of running back. But they it adds to
Speaker 1: the fact that they matched the lines offer from Malcolm Brown,
Speaker 1: so you do have, you know, sort of much more
Speaker 1: of a stable here. But Darryl Henderson is like described
Speaker 1: as sort of a boom bust like dude that either
Speaker 1: runs for like a fifty yard touchdown or does not.
Speaker 1: I think if you look at some of the best
Speaker 1: teams in the league, a lot of them, the more
Speaker 1: running backs the better. I think that really helps that.
Speaker 1: I think it's really helped the Patriots to have different
Speaker 1: types of running backs and have three or four guys.
Speaker 1: I was surprised to see that the Eagles take Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders from Penn State with one of their second round picks,
Speaker 1: but they like having three, four or five running backs
Speaker 1: to They're a team that, like if you look at
Speaker 1: the start, it was all offense, Andre Dillard Sanders, and
Speaker 1: they took J j R. Sega Whiteside like guys that
Speaker 1: might not even see the field right away. But they
Speaker 1: just have so much depth on their offense at every position,
Speaker 1: especially running back. I was a little nervous kind of
Speaker 1: moving more into general takeaways of the draft, ready to
Speaker 1: just one last winner, Sure do it well. We talked
Speaker 1: about what the Patriots have lost and what's going on
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and Tyreek Hill. The Chargers got better
Speaker 1: while these two teams got worse. And the Chargers are
Speaker 1: building one of the best defenses in the NFL. They
Speaker 1: pick up Nasa Adderley and Jerry Tillery Drew Tranquil for
Speaker 1: their defense, which was already loaded from last year. They
Speaker 1: signed Thomas Davis. This is this is to me, the
Speaker 1: team to beat in the NFC and the culture right
Speaker 1: there too. You know, Greg hillery Um is a avid,
Speaker 1: skilled tennis player. I listened to him do an interview
Speaker 1: with Lindsay Roles ut Nate and he number one sounded
Speaker 1: Lolly's rookies because you know these events and it's like
Speaker 1: they are trained and they are good at saying nothing
Speaker 1: interesting at all. He's completely opposite. Yeah, then I think
Speaker 1: like that was one. And he also has this background
Speaker 1: in finance where he, you know, can he made a
Speaker 1: lot of money at the stock market and has a
Speaker 1: coming like that was one of those things scouts didn't like.
Speaker 1: Oh this guy, he's too smart, plays and he plays tennis.
Speaker 1: They didn't like that about Rosen either. Someone should say
Speaker 1: that three three days ago, the Washington Redskins were a
Speaker 1: punching bag and everybody was taking shots at them, and
Speaker 1: they came out of this draft way better than people
Speaker 1: thought they would to pick up Dwayne Haskins and Montest
Speaker 1: Sweat in the first round and then Terry McLaren, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite players in the draft. Their front seven
Speaker 1: now on defense after taking the flyer on Reuben Foster
Speaker 1: is stacked. This is this is a pretty good defense.
Speaker 1: They picked up Landing Collins. They're weird because if you
Speaker 1: just look at their roster, if they got quarterback play,
Speaker 1: you can serve if you were a fan, you can
Speaker 1: certainly make the argument it's like that could be a
Speaker 1: ten win team. But I don't know, I just don't
Speaker 1: trust it. Somehow he usually goes wrong. But on paper,
Speaker 1: I'm with you, it looks pretty There are another team
Speaker 1: that took They took Bryce Love, the Stanford running back
Speaker 1: who has he's going to rehab this year probably, but
Speaker 1: was awesome in And it was another one of those
Speaker 1: things that triggered Darius guys to respond on social media
Speaker 1: with one of those smiley or non smiley faces, just
Speaker 1: like a face like excuse me, what say? What say?
Speaker 1: What I mean? Skepticism is advised. It's just that the
Speaker 1: bar is so low for the Redskins when everybody's just
Speaker 1: laughing at that them three. Then that was the emoji
Speaker 1: that are our friend David Eally and Andrew Gruver translated
Speaker 1: for Rich Eisen. Uh, it's kind of like a non
Speaker 1: plus and rather again got a shout out during the
Speaker 1: draft on NFL network. That's big time. I mean, David
Speaker 1: really is going to be popping champagne. He didn't get
Speaker 1: to pop it at Super Bowl fifty, but he pops
Speaker 1: it tonight because he gets referenced on national television. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some takeaways, You know one thing when you watch the draft.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I absolutely cracked the code on
Speaker 1: how to watch the draft. I don't think the bosses
Speaker 1: will get mad for this angle because I think you're
Speaker 1: still giving them the rating. And I'm not a Nielsen
Speaker 1: family anyway, it doesn't matter. Well anyway, getting lost in
Speaker 1: the weeds here, so we all collect that we didn't
Speaker 1: come into the office Friday, so we watched UM rounds
Speaker 1: two and three from our homes or whatever. I did
Speaker 1: the thing where you wait an hour, you DVR the draft,
Speaker 1: You wait an hour, you get away from social media.
Speaker 1: You know you don't need to be dug into social
Speaker 1: media all times, so there's no concerns about spoilers. I
Speaker 1: waited sixty to eighty minutes then started the draft, and
Speaker 1: my goodness, how incredible you get to wipe out all
Speaker 1: the popping circumstance, all the commercials ned from Verizon, the
Speaker 1: broken Pelvis guy, everything, Just get Pelvis Verizon guy. Please? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What is with that? That commercial air at approximately seven
Speaker 1: times UM which is a thousand times less than Old
Speaker 1: Town Road was played? Right? What else? Other takeaways? My
Speaker 1: one issue with the draft along the whole televised line,
Speaker 1: which I don't know how to fix it, so maybe
Speaker 1: don't even raise it, but I'm going to, is that,
Speaker 1: like if you were writing, um, like a book or
Speaker 1: a screenplay and you said, I'm gonna make the first
Speaker 1: act exciting, but it's gonna just get worse from there,
Speaker 1: Like the story is gonna unravel and it's going to
Speaker 1: become a chore to read or to endure. Why, Like
Speaker 1: the draft needs to find a way to make the
Speaker 1: final of it more tolerable for the viewer. No, it doesn't,
Speaker 1: because what it does, what this industry has done, is
Speaker 1: turned this into a massive television event, and you know,
Speaker 1: but it's bad, bad, traumatic structure. To have the first
Speaker 1: part of it be good but then it's completely flaw
Speaker 1: We our boss, one of our boss is one of
Speaker 1: our many todd Sperry suggested they should do the picks
Speaker 1: in reverse. Now, that would take it well. He said,
Speaker 1: do the entire draft and then release them in reverse,
Speaker 1: which is not a terrible idea. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be, like what the draft is, was never
Speaker 1: supposed to be a fifteen our TV show. It got
Speaker 1: turned into that. So that's my issue in the NFL
Speaker 1: andes and everybody has to work. There are darnedests to
Speaker 1: make it entertaining for all that time. But really, at
Speaker 1: the heart of it, it's just a draft. There's not
Speaker 1: much you can do with it. It's a draft. It's
Speaker 1: just that was polling up to a microphone and talking.
Speaker 1: I was amazed that the crowd that was there on Saturdays,
Speaker 1: especially there's no players there. There was just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was cool, but it was. It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for people who are in to the draft.
Speaker 1: I had to explain to Lakisha earlier today that this
Speaker 1: is not for for me personally. This is not a
Speaker 1: television event. It is something I can get the results
Speaker 1: online as soon as they happen, and now they just happen.
Speaker 1: My take one take away I have is the Panthers
Speaker 1: fans and and this happens basically when any quarterback is drafted.
Speaker 1: Need to calm down. When uh, you draft Will Greer
Speaker 1: late in the third round, you know, A, you're not
Speaker 1: wasting your pick by taking a quarterback backup. Quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: incredibly valuable, and especially when you have to start Tyler
Speaker 1: Heineke and Kyle Allen and you know NFL games in
Speaker 1: the regular season, Allen looked like unitis. Right, How did
Speaker 1: Charlie Castle wants tell us? You know, the most important
Speaker 1: person in your organization is the quarterback, and the second
Speaker 1: most important person in your organization is your backup quarterback.
Speaker 1: I would go third, and then the quarterback coach. Don't
Speaker 1: have it in me? Uh, you know, like there doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be a controversy every time a quarterback has
Speaker 1: taken you it's so deep in the draft, like the
Speaker 1: Patriots have taken four or five. I can't remember when
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell was taken quarterbacks higher than Will Greer was taken.
Speaker 1: For the Panthers. It doesn't mean anything about Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: but Cam Newton is an injury prone starter now the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And yeah, it's good to have, Like,
Speaker 1: it's a great investment. It's not a waste of a pick,
Speaker 1: like half your third round picks end up stinking. Anyways,
Speaker 1: it was. It does two things. It gives you a
Speaker 1: backup and it gives you a chance to build his
Speaker 1: value and flip him for even more value if he
Speaker 1: plays well when Cam Newton gets injured. Um, circling back
Speaker 1: to my Nielsen's story and the fast forwarding of the
Speaker 1: DVR and how it's a great move. Well, yeah, the
Speaker 1: guys want the exciting conclusion. So when we when they
Speaker 1: did get to the Jets pick at at six. Overall,
Speaker 1: you know you stop and play and you listen. You
Speaker 1: know you're really plugged in for it and what you
Speaker 1: really want. And this could be any any person watching
Speaker 1: the draft and their favorite team. You wanted the pick
Speaker 1: to be made and then instantly, uh, you want DJ move,
Speaker 1: the sticks to be on fire. You want Charles Davis
Speaker 1: to b I love this pig. This is incredible. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's always the worst where it's just a little quiet,
Speaker 1: and they're just like, well this you know, and you
Speaker 1: boomer bust gets thrown out there. Um. When the Jets
Speaker 1: took Jakai Polite polite outside the line background of Florida, Um,
Speaker 1: it was I would say a little muted the response.
Speaker 1: But he was not liked well by them. And then
Speaker 1: ESPN did a little writing up about it that his
Speaker 1: scouting combined performance was awful on and off the field.
Speaker 1: One NFL scout said Polite, Uh, he doesn't have issues.
Speaker 1: He is an issue. The same scout called him arrogant
Speaker 1: and not a team player. Well, that that's a boomer
Speaker 1: bus pick right there, gentlemen. Can I give you some
Speaker 1: optimism on this one? I would say this is one
Speaker 1: of the few names where in January the draft nicks
Speaker 1: who were grinding the tape really he stood out and
Speaker 1: they loved him. And then it wasn't until he started
Speaker 1: acting a fool at the mine that everyone was like,
Speaker 1: oh this guy. He got mad about the path he didn't.
Speaker 1: He got mad at the packers for how they he
Speaker 1: didn't like. He's like a knuck called. But his his
Speaker 1: combined time was unimpressive and then his his protade time
Speaker 1: was almost the possibly worse than the combine time. So
Speaker 1: to me, it's a major red flag when the guys
Speaker 1: out of shape during the draft runup. Maybe he also
Speaker 1: had like eleven sacks last year and was kind of
Speaker 1: a beast, so maybe he'll be a study. Are you
Speaker 1: Are you at all worried Dan about the very There
Speaker 1: was multiple reports, you know, not from big time sources,
Speaker 1: although one of them was Michael Lombardi ready in the
Speaker 1: Athletic kind of as a throwaway about some maccagnan gaze
Speaker 1: heat and then more more surprisingly to me, that mccagnan
Speaker 1: could lose his job. And there there have been also
Speaker 1: from reputable sources. I forget which national writer it was,
Speaker 1: whether it's Ian or Adam Shutter had said watch out
Speaker 1: there could be some big time shakeups after the draft
Speaker 1: in some front offices, but they didn't say who. Um,
Speaker 1: I guess I wouldn't. I want stability, every organization, every
Speaker 1: fan base wants stability, So I wouldn't love it if
Speaker 1: if a big mac got fired. But I also will say, like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like mccagnon deserves to have this job, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and and there's something he's done, some tremendous job. The
Speaker 1: middle round picks, especially Um he has been very hit
Speaker 1: or miss. More on the miss side he is, because
Speaker 1: they've had so many poor teams, has gotten a lot
Speaker 1: of high first round picks into his credit. I think
Speaker 1: he's done a good job in the first round, and
Speaker 1: it was a great trade last year to get Donald.
Speaker 1: So if they fired him tomorrow that would be a
Speaker 1: big shock. But I also wouldn't be like they just
Speaker 1: let a guy out the door that was really gonna
Speaker 1: build this team and put them into the SuperM. I
Speaker 1: think they're the only team that hasn't won at least
Speaker 1: six games in a season over the last three years,
Speaker 1: which is his second, third and fourth year. I think
Speaker 1: every other NFL team is. I just feel where ever
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze seems to wind up, there are hints of
Speaker 1: internal power struggle because I feel like you never was
Speaker 1: on the same page with Miami's front office. Is certainly
Speaker 1: the later incarnation of it, the one we're getting now,
Speaker 1: And there's never been drama around Mike mccagnen with other
Speaker 1: people inside the Jets buildings. Suddenly it's been whispered about,
Speaker 1: you know, power struggle. Headlock watch. Yeah, there's it's a
Speaker 1: headlock watch. It's always gonna be heating the kitchen in
Speaker 1: a floor, and I kind of like it. It's kind
Speaker 1: of fun as long as it doesn't get out of it.
Speaker 1: I like that you're basically just going with it because
Speaker 1: you've got But you know what, when I when I
Speaker 1: look at it, yes, that would be very Jets for
Speaker 1: there to be some big soap opera blowout, right blow up,
Speaker 1: right when the Giants are up in flames, and you're
Speaker 1: you're the stable franchise in New York, but unbalanced. I'm
Speaker 1: very happy and excited and optimistic about the direction of
Speaker 1: the team and how there are some real blue chip
Speaker 1: players on both sides of the ball now and uh
Speaker 1: and a new coaching staff that, while combustible. Also, I
Speaker 1: kind of excited about seeing how how Williams and Gays
Speaker 1: do um with the offense and defense. You said on
Speaker 1: Thursday night West Dan Oh, that I think this is
Speaker 1: the most I don't know if excited is the right word.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was that I've been about the Jets since
Speaker 1: I've known Dan. You don't dread turning on the tape
Speaker 1: potentially this year, right. I think my biggest problem with
Speaker 1: the Jets is they've been ultra boring, but they get
Speaker 1: so much media coverage, and now they're gonna get media coverage,
Speaker 1: but they might not be boring. Um. Any other thoughts
Speaker 1: before we move on, We got to check it out
Speaker 1: with a couple of the things. Let's move on, all right,
Speaker 1: Mark your mock draft. Let's set the two thousand nineteen
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler mock draft where he ended up. Alright, not bad, Mark,
Speaker 1: not bad. You had by my account, really by Mark's count,
Speaker 1: he set this along his PR team. All right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: break it down as you we may need to. Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: like when the president releases his own approval radio. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't put that parallel out there. Kyler Murray and
Speaker 1: Nick Bolson one too. You got that right, You nailed it,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people did. Those were the spots nailed.
Speaker 1: These last four you got the right landings and not
Speaker 1: the right spots are necessarily even the rounds. But half
Speaker 1: point right, well it is, but half I have something
Speaker 1: to say about Josh right now. You don't need to
Speaker 1: say anything else. Dwayne Haskins to the Redskins, Mark predicted
Speaker 1: rue Lock to the Broncos, Josh Jacobs to the Raiders,
Speaker 1: and DK Metcalf to the Seahawks, not necessarily where Mark
Speaker 1: had these guys all going in the first round, not
Speaker 1: only not necessarily, not not all of them went in
Speaker 1: the first round. But you know what he got the
Speaker 1: team's right. I give you fractions positive for three of
Speaker 1: those picks. But Josh Jacobs, everyone else in the community
Speaker 1: got this pick right, and you did well. Hold on,
Speaker 1: there were a lot of other things that a lot
Speaker 1: of people all got right that I did not give
Speaker 1: I should get credit for not zaggy off of Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 1: All right, that's fair. I mean, I you know, I
Speaker 1: was the one that went a little extra with Quentnin
Speaker 1: Williams and dropped him like five spots lower than everyone
Speaker 1: else had. So you know, didn't make the mistake with
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. And the only thing what would have really
Speaker 1: driven things home for you is if you were able
Speaker 1: to get that quarterback. The Patriots did draft the quarterback,
Speaker 1: but not the one that you predicted as a half well,
Speaker 1: and the Panthers selected Will Greer one spot before New
Speaker 1: England the clock. How mad were you? I mean at
Speaker 1: that point I mentally and emotionally dead at that But
Speaker 1: the Patriots also had had to pick three spots before
Speaker 1: the panthers, and then they traded down behind them. I know,
Speaker 1: but Greg, you don't need to say that. You don't
Speaker 1: need you don't need to add the always the footnote
Speaker 1: free free, We don't. It was just it. It doesn't
Speaker 1: indicate anything. Just let it go. The indicate they wouldn't
Speaker 1: take career, let it go. I call it a success,
Speaker 1: the first annual mark best well, vaguely the vague success,
Speaker 1: but vague lipop. I mean from another angle, a a
Speaker 1: an incredible failure, because I mean your brand really took,
Speaker 1: you know, a leap, I think in a cottage industry,
Speaker 1: really mired in a group thinks swamp. You are not afraid. Wait,
Speaker 1: so how many pink for yourself on these picks? How
Speaker 1: many picks did you get? Right? Well, I'm getting half
Speaker 1: of a half credit for halfy for um correct landing spots,
Speaker 1: but not at the pick. If you're curious, I was
Speaker 1: like over one, under was three and I surpassed you.
Speaker 1: I was looking for some of you credit for the
Speaker 1: half right I was looking for if it was like
Speaker 1: a tough year or not. I can't find a big
Speaker 1: scale one, but at least mcshade Jeremiah and Kiper mcshade
Speaker 1: and Jeremiah both at nine. Right, I heard it. Silva
Speaker 1: came in again. I'm not got ten? Oh no, I
Speaker 1: think he won again? Wait? Why is that? Why is it?
Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to establish a brand here with Mark
Speaker 1: Sel but I'm looking at the standings and it's not
Speaker 1: as good as I thought. Mark's brand doesn't care about
Speaker 1: whether he gets it right or not. I spent a
Speaker 1: day and a half on it. What if I actually
Speaker 1: spent two weeks on it. My goal is to make
Speaker 1: Mark a huge brand and then ride his coattails to
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred grand I think the avenue to
Speaker 1: that is not through accuracy, right that I would agree with.
Speaker 1: Let's not make that the avenue that check in. We
Speaker 1: go get my lunch and uh, all right, Chris Wesling
Speaker 1: actually Greg Rosenthal by percentage points is I'm looking at um?
Speaker 1: You finished seven and four first place in the draft. Um,
Speaker 1: go get my lunch? Dot org Nick fourtier. The man
Speaker 1: tracks all of our predictions over the course of the
Speaker 1: season and through the league year. Uh, let's see, the
Speaker 1: universal prop was Josh Rose and what team will he
Speaker 1: be on? On Sunday a job by West. Chris Westling
Speaker 1: nails it. He's got the Dolphins. The organic fish tank
Speaker 1: does not let you down with well that thank you
Speaker 1: to Greg for this, because if you recall, Mark and
Speaker 1: I both had the Cardinals. Greg said he wanted the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: I didn't want three people in the Cardinals, and I
Speaker 1: kind of had a funny feeling about the Dolphins. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Greg gave me an excuse to jump off. Um. So yes,
Speaker 1: West got that one. But Greg won the overall round
Speaker 1: at seven and four. West won seven and five. Though,
Speaker 1: But uh, Greg, you said, Raiders draft to QB in
Speaker 1: round one. That cost you the sandwiches. But then you uh,
Speaker 1: then you hit on one. Patriots don't draft a tight
Speaker 1: end within the first two rounds, which I got a
Speaker 1: couple on Dan and I got killed on that. Did
Speaker 1: they draft one? They didn't draft one the whole time.
Speaker 1: In Austin Savarian Jagin, step on up, you are t
Speaker 1: e one. I've put a few things together. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if Ben watson Is comes out of retirement
Speaker 1: and joins their team, because there's been some whispers that
Speaker 1: he might not retire after all. And Michael Lombardi made
Speaker 1: this that. Yeah, I'm not saying I kind of save
Speaker 1: their team. But let's come back to us Ben Watson
Speaker 1: first round pick. You also had the Giants will draft
Speaker 1: the QB in round one. Nobody took you up on it,
Speaker 1: but according to Nick Fortier, you get the credit for
Speaker 1: getting it right. I bet Ben Watson can still chase
Speaker 1: down Champ Bailey. All right, Chris Wesley seven and five
Speaker 1: Jets will make a trade involving the number three overall pick.
Speaker 1: No they did not. They stayed they were They took
Speaker 1: quinnin William just cost you three sandwiches. The Bengals or
Speaker 1: Lions draft a QB within the first two rounds did
Speaker 1: not happen. Banged two more. So, what happened to all
Speaker 1: this Lions quarterback talk? Well there was Uh it was
Speaker 1: interesting that one of the teams traded up ahead of
Speaker 1: the Lions to take a quarterback in the second round.
Speaker 1: Who am I thinking? Was that the broncos Man. There
Speaker 1: was some belief that that they were worried that that
Speaker 1: Locke could go there. So so when I heard that,
Speaker 1: I thought, of you, Chris, that was a bad job
Speaker 1: by me, that that particular one. And then you, of
Speaker 1: course you nailed Josh Rosen going to the Dolphins. Um,
Speaker 1: Mark and I neither of us got anything right. But
Speaker 1: Mark did a better job taking up sandwiches. He goes
Speaker 1: four and four. Uh, the Giants won't draft a QB
Speaker 1: at number six. They did, they took Daniel Jones of Duke,
Speaker 1: So that was a missed opportunity by all that quarterback none.
Speaker 1: None of us took you up on it. So even
Speaker 1: though you didn't lose any sandwiches, you're we're still shaming um.
Speaker 1: It just goes to show how far the Browns and
Speaker 1: their fans have come that you are now lobbying quarterback
Speaker 1: UM put downs at other teams, and you deserve it
Speaker 1: after all those years. I just asked. I didn't say
Speaker 1: he's not. I asked the question into the Browns trade
Speaker 1: into the first front around. I should have taken you
Speaker 1: up on this, but I thought the logic was sound.
Speaker 1: Because the cowboy GM of the Browns wanted to make
Speaker 1: another splash. He didn't Um. He stayed where he was
Speaker 1: um Or he didn't move into the first round. Greg
Speaker 1: and West did take you up on that. You have
Speaker 1: the Cardinals as the Josh Rosen team on Sunday and
Speaker 1: then the old Zoser a tough one, three and eight.
Speaker 1: I never do well in this exercise in the draft,
Speaker 1: it's always been a bad spot for me. Giants, Redskins, Dolphins,
Speaker 1: or Broncos will trade into the top five. Didn't happen?
Speaker 1: Nobody moved out of a year of trades. Well, there
Speaker 1: were actually more trades than in the in the first round.
Speaker 1: In the first round, not a big fireworks around one
Speaker 1: in terms of trading. Um, but that cost me three sandwiches.
Speaker 1: More quarterbacks will be selected in round one than running
Speaker 1: back and wide receiver combined. I'll tell you what. You
Speaker 1: know who got you Nikio, Harry and the Patriots thank
Speaker 1: you for delivering that sandwich. And you know who did indirectly.
Speaker 1: Supposedly the Falcons traded up to thirty one to drab
Speaker 1: draft that right top tackle Caleb Supposedly the Patriots were
Speaker 1: interested in taking him, so indirectly they that hadn't happened,
Speaker 1: I think you would have gotten your sandwiches. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: don't be so gleeful about it. But I was on fire.
Speaker 1: I was up three oh old footnote over here, Um,
Speaker 1: I was up three oh, and I think I was
Speaker 1: up three oh after the twentie pick, and then yes,
Speaker 1: it went all the way to thirty two and the
Speaker 1: Patriots and they take the wide receiver that locks me
Speaker 1: in at three to three. Three quarterbacks taken, three running
Speaker 1: backs slash wide receivers taken. And I had made it
Speaker 1: very clear that if it was a push, I lose.
Speaker 1: And I've never done this before. And all the years
Speaker 1: we've done the show, and all the anger that I've
Speaker 1: had towards the Patriots, and all the times this organization
Speaker 1: has screwed me um both personally and my favorite team,
Speaker 1: one thing I've never done, but I'm gonna do it
Speaker 1: right now, New England Patriots. I declare vengeance. Now I
Speaker 1: do it, your boy, Tom Brady, I would I would
Speaker 1: like someone to go through the one thousand, two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty episodes. There your bones go brittle. I feel
Speaker 1: like you have declared vengeance. Muscles go limp literally like
Speaker 1: four times, and your mind grow feeble, and that goes
Speaker 1: for your head coach too. I declare vengeance. This is
Speaker 1: the end. Never would have thought this would be the
Speaker 1: straw that breaks the camel's back. Harry. I think I'd
Speaker 1: like one of our sneers to find some all the
Speaker 1: fun pretty I don't think I did, but I don't
Speaker 1: think I ever actually declared vengeance on that organization until now.
Speaker 1: And watch what happens, mark my words, bring this tape
Speaker 1: back up. Come Janet's fine. Thank you declared vengeance on me,
Speaker 1: But I don't remember the Patriots and bad things happened
Speaker 1: to you if I were around with this, check your
Speaker 1: front office for voodoo dolls, all right? Anybody else? Have
Speaker 1: anybody else to add about this uh wonderful three day
Speaker 1: period of the NFL. I'm going through my notes. I
Speaker 1: feel like we cover a lot. Get out of here.
Speaker 1: Good job by the Vikings, glad we got that in
Speaker 1: Oh the Bucks draft and another kicker this time in
Speaker 1: the fifth round, Mattie gay Um. It will compete with Cairo,
Speaker 1: Santa Ros, Santos and the guy that's on the track
Speaker 1: up from Germany. They're there top five PI. What's his name,
Speaker 1: Philip Anderson from the German Football League. I thought it
Speaker 1: was injuryed with Bruce arians there. Their first five picks
Speaker 1: were all defense. That defense is so bad for so
Speaker 1: long and they've spent a lot on it, and Todd
Speaker 1: Bowls winner never gets any better. Patriots straighted up for
Speaker 1: a punter. What a joke. Nice job about so by
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Ravens got explosive players in Marquis Brown,
Speaker 1: Miles Boykin, uh and then Justice Hill from Oklahoma State.
Speaker 1: All these guys are like, you know, nine percentile athletic testing,
Speaker 1: just like can take it one play to make a
Speaker 1: touchdown at any point. You put them with Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: I don't know at all, the Ravens will be inswered.
Speaker 1: They also drafted Trace McSorley, the Penn State quarterback who
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh came on an NFL network and acknowledged that
Speaker 1: he may They may find a way to put him
Speaker 1: on the field with Lamar Jackson in sort of a
Speaker 1: Tasom Hill type spicy sauce. Oh and I did mention
Speaker 1: this earlier before we go, I do. Let's listen to
Speaker 1: Steve Smith going off on Josh Rosen because it was
Speaker 1: some fire and brimstunt stuff. Every team misdrafted. We got
Speaker 1: six rounds to six rounds in the next couple of days.
Speaker 1: Guys are getting replaced. You are replaceable no more, they
Speaker 1: say in the league. The more you can do it
Speaker 1: helps your opportunity. So now you're mad because they brought
Speaker 1: some competition in him. So you're gonna try to take
Speaker 1: your vault for first of all, Sunday 't your damn
Speaker 1: ball to take anyway. So you just keep playing with
Speaker 1: your phone and you keep showing us what what the
Speaker 1: this stigma of you and who you were was this
Speaker 1: uh at u c l A. Now you brought it
Speaker 1: to the professoral level to show us. You're still gonna
Speaker 1: when things don't go your way, you're gonna cry in
Speaker 1: the corner. But guess what, They're gonna ship your ass
Speaker 1: on somewhere else and you're gonna cry and be their problems. Listen,
Speaker 1: this is a man's game. Be a man and go
Speaker 1: against that man one on one. He gets tim place,
Speaker 1: you get t in place. Do your deal. Ain't nobody
Speaker 1: giving you nothing? The only thing you can get on
Speaker 1: this stage right now, there's a free ass, loot and
Speaker 1: everything else you gotta work hard for. You know what
Speaker 1: the crime of Josh Rosen, you know what this why
Speaker 1: he's getting buried here because he unfollowed their Instagram account. Yes, now,
Speaker 1: well I'm not gonna tell Steve Smith the calm down,
Speaker 1: because Steve Smith will come find me. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if Josh Rosen deserves that beating. Quite the contrary,
Speaker 1: I think he's handled himself and acquitted himself quite well
Speaker 1: during a very difficult situation. I mean to be fair
Speaker 1: that it came before Rosen did the video today and
Speaker 1: the one. Rosen also never verbally complained about pen put
Speaker 1: in the worst situation last year, a rookie quarterback could
Speaker 1: possibly but he changed the name of their handle to
Speaker 1: Cards Got Kyler. It was like posts straight and it
Speaker 1: was from the Cards Got Kyler account. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: also like a generational thing too. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm following is some Yeah, well, Steve Smith has
Speaker 1: proven to be a good TV analyst, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: this made for good TV. And when you're a five
Speaker 1: ft nine wide receiver drafted in the third round, you
Speaker 1: have to adopt that mindset that every as a competition,
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to steal your job. You have to be
Speaker 1: absolutely rock tough, and that's how you get to be
Speaker 1: a third round receiver in the Hall of Fame. But
Speaker 1: that's not the same as being drafted as a first
Speaker 1: round quarterback and the next year they take your replacement
Speaker 1: number one. Overall, that's not competition. That's your out the
Speaker 1: door right anyways, And it's not the same. The same
Speaker 1: Instagram account also sent out, you know, a post just
Speaker 1: a couple of months before that said Josh is our guy.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look as good. I mean, Josh is essentially
Speaker 1: just annoyed with the Cardinals social media department. You can,
Speaker 1: we can understand that. So we hit on his a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of teams obviously over the last two shows.
Speaker 1: But if you are a listener of the show and
Speaker 1: you're hoping for more conversation about your favorite team, we'll
Speaker 1: look got good news for you this upcoming week. We'll
Speaker 1: be back Tuesday. Two shows next week, but um, two
Speaker 1: of our favorite shows of the season around the a
Speaker 1: f C. In forty eight minutes on Tuesday around the
Speaker 1: NFC and forty eight minutes on Thursday, every team three
Speaker 1: minutes of devoted talk. Um, So pinch yourselves. That's it.
Speaker 1: Good job, good job everybody out of everybody. Good draft,
Speaker 1: good draft, Ricky. I know they had you burn in
Speaker 1: the midnight aisle until four in the morning the other
Speaker 1: back here and then back here the next morning. On Friday,
Speaker 1: that feels like it breaks some sort of a code.
Speaker 1: But you know someone somewhere can look deeper into that.
Speaker 1: It feels wrong to me. All right, let's get out
Speaker 1: of here. This is Dan hands As signing off Go Spurs, Jape,
Speaker 1: sat It four, The Quiet Storm, the Mailman, the Old Boss,
Speaker 1: and Ricky Hollywood behind the glass don't do? Is that
