• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But I see why you put our runner. It's like, man,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it's been a really tough year for mock drafters. Like
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it's it's truly we're in the deep end here just
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: because it's gonna be really fun breaking all down. We
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: usually know who's gonna be a couple of first picks,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: at least you know that maybe the top five. Maybe
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we know you know, five or six guys are gonna
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: be top ten. We don't really know a lot of us.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We have good guests. We kind of think we know
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: what teams are gonna do, but from I don't know.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: From my ten years of doing mock drafts, this is
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: one of the least confident drafts I've ever had. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: for somehow I still have a ton of betsin so
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we'll definitely dive into all that. You always find a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: way right all of our betting coverage. Of course, we're
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: looking forward to having it leading up to Thursday's first
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: round for the NFL Draft, we have a very special
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: guest Action Network contributor NFL mock draft, Maven Scott Smith.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Every year, our friends at Fantasy Pros ranked the most
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: accurate NFL mock drafters. In eighteen, Scott finished number one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Last year he finished top three, and this guy is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: objectively one of the best NFL draft experts anywhere. His
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: latest mock is available now, so be sure to check
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it out at the Action Network at Action network dot com,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: or of course on the Action app. That's a long
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: way of introducing Scott Smith. Scott Welcome, what's going on?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Are you going guys? Look it's it's trunch time. I'm
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: kinda getting into the nitty gritty prepared my last market.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's gonna drop on Thursday at the Accident Network. I'll
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: be submitting at Wednesday night. But uh, look at lyon
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: season right now, so you kind of gotta like sift
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: through the smoke and see what's really fire and what's not. Yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: slide detector tests are out there. Scott, care to react
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to what Simon's leadoff thought was, just it's a I would,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I would guess from your perspective, one of the more
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: challenging years to try and figure out who's going at
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the top of this draft. Look and and I could
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: be said for the last couple of years as well,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: when you had COVID kind of hitting and causing some
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: problems every year, it's pretty difficult to go ahead and predict.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But this year that the issue that you've really falling
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: into is somewhat with the betting odds that are shifting
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: plus or minus three hundred on a day to day basis,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and you're seeing huge swings just within hours here and there,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So some things to kind of work work through, especially
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: from betting odds and a betting standpoint as well. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we will get to Scott's favorite bets that's coming your way. Now.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We'll start with a couple of Sea team centric bets.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Also get into positions like receiver, potentially some quarterback quarterback
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: discussion as well as, uh maybe if we do see
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: any first round quarterbacks in the NFL draft. So, Scott,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you want to begin with the New York Giants. They
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: select number five overall in the first round. What's your
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: angle here on the gm N we're going ahead and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: preparing for the show. Charles Cross is a guy who's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: been getting a lot of smoke and uh, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of connections there to the Giants. Peter Schreger
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: has had multiple of his connections Lincoln Charles Cross there.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I was getting it at plus five plus four fifty
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and here right before we start the show, you go
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: ahead and check and it's Charles Cross at number five
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: two Giants at plus two fifty. I still think that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of value there, but that number
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: is a number that's consistently kind of shrinking. So I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: think it's another thing where there's smoked. There's a little
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: bit of fire there with the Giants, and I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: there's there's also a long shot here with Charles Cross
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to the Giants that I think that could play out.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I think it is possible that you could see a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: situation where this draft starts off and falls with Trey Lane,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Walker and Ade Hutchinson go on one too. Look, Derek
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Stingley is another guy who is starting to get a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: lot of heat there. You know, Lancer Line is connecting
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: him there with Houston. And if you know that, you're
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: sitting there with the Jets at four and they decide
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and pass on the offensive lineman and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: go say Cavon Thibodeaux or my gardener, you know, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: think there's a longside at plus seven hundred. You can
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: find on some of the sports vets for Charles Crossing
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the first offensive player taken off the in the draft
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: off the board there to the Giants at five. Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter had a report earlier in the week about
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and whether or not the team will decide
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to pick up the fifth year option um and that that,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of course is notable because if indeed they want to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: rebuild the offensive line around Jones, would make some sense. Regardless,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I guess who the quarterback is. You want to get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that left tackle in place and sort of bring your
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you know, bring your point to more light. Uh. The
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Giants draft special available on draft Kings to draft an
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman Simon at minus thirty. You think Scott's onto
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: something here that they're gonna go a line with their
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: fifth pick. Yeah, I don't hate that. I mean, this
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is this is such a big draft for this Giants team,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: having two picks in the top seven, and what we're
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: talking about is pretty loaded draft. Again, it's just a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: draft all through the first round. There's just a lot
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of really solid interior alignment, offensive lineman d d backs.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of ways they could go here.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I love that play. I love for them to get
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a tackle where it's just like, yeah, they're apparently going
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to roll it out again with Daniel Jones. Me personally,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I've either roll a dice in a quarterback or you're
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: hoping Daniel Jones is so bad this year, you get
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: one of these studs next year, one of these quarterbacks.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So for me, I'm going to offensive linement that that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: seems like a smart player. I love that play. The
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: first offensive player drafted. That's a really heavy play because
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: from what I've read all these top teams are looking
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: at defense in those first four picks, so I do
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like that. It's very interesting play. And just to clarify,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the report from Schefter was a week from the six.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The next week the Giants and then of course will
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: impact well, we'll find out who they end up drafting,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: but they will decide on whether or not they pick
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: up the twenty two point three eight million dollar fiftyear option.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: If they decline the option, Jones would play this season
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: on an expiring contract. So we'll see what the Giants
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: do at five and at seven. Currently that's where they
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: are selecting. Uh, Scott, Moving down the board, you've got
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: your eyes on the Tennessee Titans. They're picking at twenty
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: six overall on Thursday night. What is your angle on
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the Titans? Yeah, Look, the Titans are kind of all
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: over the place with sum of their needs. I've actually
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: been leaning a little bit more towards the quarterback being
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a selection for them. I think you start looking at
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehills getting a little bit up there in age,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he's thirty four. You look at the fact that they
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: had success last season and managed to get that number
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: one overall seed there in the A f C. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: when it came to the playoffs, he just fell flat.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, even if we if we
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: start looking at the quarterbacks in the situation there currently,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of leaning towards Kenney Pickett. And you can
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: get some longshot odds there at plus fifteen hundred on DraftKings,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: but just d afting Titans and connecting a quarterback there
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to the Titans, you can get plus six hundred odds.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And you talk about some of their quarterback numbers right now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the over and under sitting at about two and a half.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter is another guy who's been getting you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of heat. They're talking about him possibly being
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a first round selection and being that third quarterback that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: pushes that over. And I think, you know, sitting there
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: looking at Tennessee, I think Tennessee could be a surprising
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: team that could possibly draft the quarterback. Yeah, I mean
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a bold one, sir. I mean the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: team that was the number one seed in the a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: f C. But Ryan Tannehill tends to show his glaring
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: flaws in big games. And see that playoff game against
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Bengal Simon any thought on the potential of Tennessee
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: taking a quarterback, which, by the way, as Scott mentioned,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: first round quarterbacks drafted the over at two and a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: half has juiced all the way to minus to fifty. Yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I've actually we gave that. I think it was at
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: minus one seventy five last week or minus two hundred.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: We we love that in this was on my big board.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: One of the teams I had taken a quarterback. I
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: have tendency I have been lane of trading back in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: or I have Detroit trading back into the first round
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to grab a quarterback. So to me, Ritter and Matt Correll,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: there's a guys kind of guys were into the first round.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: You know, we all see these guys. Deficiencies are plenty
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of teams have talked about it, but that we again
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you just talked about here with Daniel Jones, that fifth
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: year options such a big deal. Daniel Jones stinks they're
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: not gonna pick up that option most likely, but if
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: they are, stud you get that fifth year option, you're
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: saving fifteen twenty million dollars and that fifth year. So
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to me, it makes sense why these teams are gonna
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: get back into this first round. Take a quarterback end Tennessee.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I like that move just because they have Tannehill there
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: wherever they draft late in this first round, no problem
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: sitting there for a year or two. So I actually
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: liked that play for Tennessee. Scott. Staying on the subject
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, you want to give us some more details
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on your predictions as to how many and what quarterbacks
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you already hit onto the bit with the Titans, but
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: predictions for first round quarterbacks, Yeah, I think when you're
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: looking at it, anytime I'm setting up a mock draft,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you're looking at a draft board, I think you really
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: have to to set your board based around quarterbacks. Normally.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: That would make the top ten round out a little
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: bit differently and be a little bit more secure. What
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be those top ten players? I think with
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: this draft, and they're just not being a blue chip
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: quarterback prospect that everybody sold on, I think you can
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: start looking at some of these quarterbacks falling. Daniel Jeremiah
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: did report yesterday that one of his big predictions for
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this draft is that sitting there at twenty, he thinks
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that all the quarterbacks are gonna be there available for Pittsburgh.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I actually have Malik Willis, who's probably gonna be in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: my final mock draft there mock to Pittsburgh. I think, uh,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that's a team that that has shown their hand prior
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to to the draft, starting in these these last couple
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of years, and I think it's a good match. They've
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: been linked to him since the Senior Bowl. I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you look at Trabsky, I don't think he's on solid footing.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I think he's just gonna be a bridge quarterback. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you hear about Malik Willis having the most upside of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. I think that would be a good fit
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: for him to be able to to go ahead and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be drafted about Pittsburgh and maybe city year or two. Yeah,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: like what Scott just said there about the quarterback thing,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: where it is like I coming into I really did
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: not see a quarterback point of the top ten, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: now I'm getting a little nervous. It was just like
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Carolina made sense to me to graphic quarterback. Maybe the Seahawks.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Is that why the Saints have two first round picks
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: now because they want to trade up to get one
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks in the first round. And the more
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I read, the more mocks I look at it's like
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: what he's just talking about. Scott just said, it's these
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: guys are mocking these quarterbacks the Pittsburgh at the twentieth
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: pick or whatever. So to me that that would hurt
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: if these quarterbacks dropped late because I have a lot
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: invested in these quarterbacks. So it will be interesting to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: see if these teams actually do it, Like that's gotta
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: be a scary thing like the Patriots did last year.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You just sit there and you wait for mac Jones
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to drop to a fifteen. You're you're betting on him dropping.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if these teams have the cojones to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: wait and just sit there and let these quarterbacks drop. Yeah,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and if anything, if you're in those if you're drafting
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in that top nineteen, just lay your groundwork for next
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: year and get a are back in a better class.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: That might be the mindset as well. Right, So it
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: makes some sense as to why some teams, maybe like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a Seattle Pete Carroll, can be stubborn and say, well,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I can rebuild this thing on the fly and I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: can worry about the quarterback later because I commit without
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. Um, despite how loaded his division is, we
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: think UM moving to the we'll stay on the offensive
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: side of the ball and go to wide receiver. You
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: have thoughts on just receivers in general going in the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: first round, but more specifically Scott first wide receiver coming
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: off the board. Who do you like? Yeah, this is
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: something that's kind of changed here. But I think when
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we start looking at those top ten teams and I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: land specifically on Atlanta there at eight is being the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: primary spot for the first wide receiver come off the board.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson was the early favorite, and when you look
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: at the odds, he's still the favorite there at one ten.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: The person that I'm actually linking there is gonna be
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Drake London, who you can get a little bit better odds.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I think he's sitting around plus two fifty right now.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I just think with that coaching staff, author Smith in particular,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he likes bigger wide receivers, that that position group is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: probably the worst position group there for Atlanta in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: entire NFL um You start looking at what there are
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: other options might be, and I would kind of lean
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: towards edge. They were pretty horrible at putting pressure on
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the past there as well. But I just don't think
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that that position group there at wide receiver is one
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: where they can sit there and go into the second
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: round without being able to take one of these premium
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. And right now I have Drake London as
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to being that guy that I think is a good
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: bet to go off the board as the first wide
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: receiver selected. And he's got the third shortest odds on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: DraftKings for first receiver selected, like you said, plus two fifty.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm in a lot of hype around Jamison Williams.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Is there any fear that Williams might be the guy
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: who could could cut Scott's pick off? I love him,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I really do. Have watched a lot of tape on
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: this kid, and I'm as an Egos fan, I'm dying
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: for this could have dropped to us because well of him,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: we'll have again the Heisman winner from Alabama from last year.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And as much I like Hurts, he's terrible this year.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Next year we get Bryce Young. To me, that would
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just be hilarious. We just had literally the Alabama offense
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: running the Eagles team. So I love Williams upside, but
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I would honestly take I'd take one and ahead of
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: him just London's bigger, he's stronger, and he hasn't torn
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: his knee up. So to me, I like the bet.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I think that teams are really like you know, they
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: just want to play it safe. Again, we haven't talked
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: about number one pick yet, but I feel like at
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: this time of year, a lot of these teams, most
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of them want to play it safe because you just
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: want to keep their jobs. So Drake London first pick
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: for wide receiver, that that actually sounds pretty good to me. So,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: as we discussed before we went live on on the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: pod today, um, a lot of stuff just keeps moving.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of movement for this draft this year
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: because of the uncertainty. To Simon's point, who might go
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: number one. But the number to me that's interesting is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: first round, first round wide receivers. And we're staying on
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the topic of receiver. Scott, you could get it around
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: five and a half and a lot of folks were thinking, okay,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: take the over on that, but now it's moved a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: full receiver up to six and a half and you
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: can get the over. The under is juiced at minus
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: one twenty over at minus one ten. So now with
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that extra receive we're added to that number, to that,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to that prop Does that change you're thinking at all?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And I should I should ask you what was your
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: initial thought process on when you saw a number at
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: five and a half and then how it moved to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: six and a half for receivers in the first round. Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: One of the things I've been talking about is I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: just think the the financial landscape of the NFL is
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: really changing. And I've said that here the past couple
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: of weeks. You start looking at Davante Adams, Tyreek Kio
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and even and even on the flip side of that,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: like some of the contracts that like Denzel Ward has
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: gotten as a as a cornerback. So I think when
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you start looking at how juice some of these contracts are,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see more and more wide receivers and cornerbacks
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: sliding in to to the end of these first rounds.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Um Initially I was pounding the over at five and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a half. I think the market has corrected itself here
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: at six and a half and here at six and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a half with with minus one's one in minus one
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: ten on on the over and under. It's a bet
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that I'm kind of staying away from UM. I think
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: when you start looking at it, I think six is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: kind of the number that I'm a little bit more
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: comfortable with. I think one of the areas that you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: might want to look at that could be sliding into
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that top thirty two would be George Pickens. I think
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: he's a guy. He's got some off the fielding, a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: little bit of character concerns, but he's a good fit.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I think there to Green Bay at eight. But I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: think when you start looking at some other things and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you start looking at teams light Green Bay, Kansas City
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: sitting there with two picks, I could see a situation
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: where you do have that wide receiver is sliding in.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: But I can also see a situation with a team
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: like Kansas City it likes to move up and trade around,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: moving up to grab the specific wide receiver they want
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: earlier in around and maybe forcing some other teams maybe
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to miss out on the wide receiver. So it's really
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be dependent on how some of these teams have
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: grades at. But the over and under sitting at six
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and a half is kind of a bet that I'm
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: staying away at, away from if you were able to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: get it at five and a half. I hope you
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: pounded it early on in draft season, but I think
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the market is very much correctly to self here. Yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: sim in the end of the first round is where
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: this could get really really sticky, really tricky. Uh. Chris
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Christian Kirk goes to Jacksonville, So maybe Arizona has a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: need Amari Cooper to Cleveland. Dallas might figure, hey, why
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: not add to our our bunch here for Dak Prescott
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Scott hit on green Bay. I don't think you'll see
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: anything from Tampa. I don't think Tennessee could always use
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: another guy. And then you've got Detroit at thirty two.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: What's your read on this receiver prop as far as
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: number of receivers taken in the first round moving from
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: five and a half to six and a half, any interest? Yeah?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: This this this, Uh, I've been burned by this. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: think what happened just two years ago. Te Higgs, guy
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I loved, was the first pick in the second round.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I swore he was gonna trade, they were gonna trade
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: into the first round and grab him because I thought
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: his upside was that great. They didn't, and that burned me.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I think the over under in that year was six
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and a half same thing and hit at six. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to me, it sounds like Scott just said you kind
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of missed the best of the number. Stay away. There's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of opportunity in this draft. I don't think
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you're gonna find any in this bet. The playoffs are

• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I want to get back to you here, though, What
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: is your current read on who the number one overall
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: pick might be? My current read? I mean I'm happy
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: books have limited this year. Luckily the books got burned
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: so bad last year. They've really been limited how much
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you can get down on these picks earlier in this season,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: So I would say the last week they've kind of
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: picked it up, and we've seen the movement where might
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: even Peter King and a couple other guys had Walkers
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: number one pick when I made again, I don't watch
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: college football like these other pros. But when I listened
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to all these pros and read these guys mocks before
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the combine, also their stuff. Walker was the end of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a first round kind of draft pick. And I've seen
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the play. These guys keep talking about this play in
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: this Georgia game where everyone kind of stopped playing this
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: play like they stopped playing hard, and he was running
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a guy down all the way down the field, this
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: big d lineman chasing the guy down fifth yards down
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the field. I love Walkers upside, I don't get what's happening.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Aiden to me, is just such a safe pick at
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that number one pick for the Jags. It made sense
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: for me that did either grab a d end or
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they would just played safe with Doug Peterson take an
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and the offseason they signed offensive linemen. It
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: made sense. It would get a guy like Aiden, and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm lost because I've invested in I've invested in Aiden,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and now Walker. Someone knows something like again, the group
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I work for, we pay a lot of money for
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a mole for a lot of these teams. And the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: guy we had with the Jags, he's been saying the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: same tune their own or wants Aiden. That's the owners
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: what he said for months now that he wants Aiden.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: It's the GM, the coach and a bunch of other people.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: They are like, well what about Walker? What about offensive linement?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So you know, you keep seeing these headlines. They have
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: four guys right now they could take at the number
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: one pick that that's so that's crazy me to even
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: think about, Like, really, were three days out and they
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: are they don't know who they're gonna take. So I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: gonna trust my mole, trust my source that it's Aiden.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna keep betting thousands of dollars on it
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: because I already have to invested in it. But every
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: time the odds dropped, like he's back to plus two
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: fifty now, Aiden, I gotta I gotta throw another grain
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: on it. So it's it's it's gonna burn me. But
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this first pick, man, it's gonna be the most the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: most drama for me, at least for this draft, just
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: because it is so up in the air, and I
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: know a lot of pros they've heavily invested in this
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Walker kid. So the reason why I bring that up
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: because I figured you wouldn't mention Sauce Gardner, and there's
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you can make the case that he is the best
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: talent available in the top ten, top five possibly um.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And now a lot of you look at odds now
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Scott he Gardners the favorite to be the first cornerback taken.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: But it brings up a more bigger picture point. You
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: have a you have a thought on first round corners
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the numbers said at four and a half. UM, it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a position I think as we talk about receiver teams,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: you've got to defend the receivers as well. In the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: National Football League with given how offenses have expanded in
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: offense is becoming such a focus a passing game offense.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: So what's your gauge on four and a half corners
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and over or under Scott in the first round? Well,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: just the hot back on that first pick, real quick, Um,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and talking about how the numbers have changed. If you
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: want to go ahead and still put some money on
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson to be the first overall pick. A lot
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: of these sports books are actually allowing you to start
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to parlay some of these first couple of picks, and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: right now Aidan Hutchinson to go one and Trayvon Walker
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to go to If you to put the both of
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: those together as the first to pick, you can get
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: plus five hundred on that to go ahead and may
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the head some of the other bets that you bet
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: maybe last week whenever you've got positive numbers on Treyvon
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Walker to go ahead and be the first overall pick
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. So there's still some ways to play that,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: but to go ahead and jump on the cornerback, I
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: think when you start looking at it, and we talked
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit more about how the landscapes kind of
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: change with some of these contracts. Right now that numbers
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that over four and a half, and I think when
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you start playing some of these numbers like this and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: start thinking of it more in a poker standpoint, I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: think you want out very similar to the way you
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: would play a hand of poker. And I think with
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: that cornerback number, you have some outs in the form
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of you know of some of these guys, like you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you start looking, You've got kier Ilam, You've got you know,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Kyler Gordon, You've got Andrew Booth. Like those three guys
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: right there could all add on to to the top
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: three cornerbacks that that are selected. So I think you
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: give yourself out with that over four and a half number.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I think the total number is gonna end up being five,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: but sitting there at what it's it's at plus one
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: twenty right now, that's about that. I like, I think
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: there's a good value there to be had, and I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: think you leave yourself with a lot of outs to
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: possibly go ahead and hit that bet. Yeah, I've it's
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: not the first time I've heard that one. Uh, definitely
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I share some similar interests just in the point I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: made to set you up on that with just the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: need of that position. It's you can never have too
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: much help at that position. When you see how we
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: loaded the top of the league is at receiver Simon
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: carried away in on corners. The numbers at four and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a half and if you take the under it's at
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: minus one fifty right there with Scott. It's it's just
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: become a position of it gets paid a lot of
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: money now, so teams like a trade back in and
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: grab it. So to me that that's a great number
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: where we may have three cornerbacks taking the top fifteen
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: now we're just sitting on two for the next seventeen picks.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: That that's a good feeling to have. So I like
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that number a lot. Excellent Scott. Any other first round
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: bets that you want to get get into before we
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: wrap here, Yeah, you know, I think when we start
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: looking at some of these and this isn't a number
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: that's gonna give you huge odds, but I think it's
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a very safe bet. And I think when you start
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: looking at the over and under on safeties, um, you
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: definitely have Kyle Hamilton's. But that number right there is
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that one and a half. So louis seen Daxton Hill
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: out of Michigan. You know, at minus two eighty five,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna like make a huge profit here, but
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I think you you're safe to go ahead and look,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: go ahead and settle with a you know, bump on
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: your on your bankroll and stuff like that. I think
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you have those two outs. Daxton Hill is very highly regarded.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: He's got an expected draft position bouncing around somewhere around
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Pick Louis seems another guy that uh the scouts seemed
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to love. I think he's a great fit for Detroit
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: there at UH at pick thirty two. I think Tampa
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Bay is another out that you could possibly see. UM
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: also Cincinnati. I think there's plenty of options at the
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: back end right there too for another one of these
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: safeties to go, and that that safety beat at over
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: one and a half just seems like easy money for me. Um.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Like I said, you're not gonna make a huge profit,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: but I think it's safe to go ahead and take
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the guaranteed money, which is what I would consider that
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: bet Um another couple of bets that I like. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: think we kind of hit on on some of those
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: those cornerbacks. Kyler Gordon's plus one ten to be drafted
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in the top thirty two. His his expected draft position
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: is right there around pick thirty three. Uh. Cayer Elam
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: out of Florida is that plus and uh Leuisine, who
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: had just hit on that safety's uh even money bat
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: at plus one hundred. So I think those are some good,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: good bets that I would go ahead and sprinkle a
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: little bit of cash on to to go in in
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the top thirty two. Um another long shot that I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: really like to go ahead and look here. We talked
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: about Derek Stingley a little bit, getting getting connected to Houston.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: They're a lot um. You can go ahead and do
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: an exact top three of Trayvon Walker, Aiden Hutchinson and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Derek Stingley at plus five fifties. If you don't like
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Stingley to be that pick there the first cornerback off
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the board to Houston, you can go ahead and swap
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: it out with AMR. Gardner for plus six hundred. I
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: think both of those bets right there offer some good
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: value if you want to go ahead and swing that way.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: We think so I when you're not in your head
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: at that one, Yeah, I like that one. I like
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: again Kyle Hamilton's he's a coworker of ours. Okay, he's
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: from the volume, no disrespect, but I like his outside
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the top ten value right now. I could see him
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: go and pick eleven, pick twelve. Nothing against him. It's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: one of those where I feel like these guys are
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: trying to get a little smarter. They're trying to really
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: trust the nerds, which the nerds are gonna tell them.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Safety is an important position, for sure, It's just not
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: as important as a d lineman, his offensive linements, a
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: wide receivers, all these other key positions, a quarterback. So,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, again, the kid talent is insane. He is
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: going to be a studden o league. It's kind of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: those things where, yeah, people are gonna be like, well,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: did you see his forty time? Kyle is football fast,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Like if you watch his game tape, you never really
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: thought to yourself, this kid is not that quick. But
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I'm actually anxious here what Scott's view is of this
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: year's draft? You think because of next year's draft with
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, we do see these quarterbacks falling a little bit,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: because we've already seen projectives for next year. It's they're
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: literally projecting three quarterbacks go one, two, and three. Do
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you see that? Do you actually really believe that hype
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: about these quarterbacks dropping it picked twenty? Do you is
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that something real? Because again I have sources are like that.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: It feels like this year more than any I'm not
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: gonna know a lot until the morning of the draft,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Like that's when we see all the crazy line moment.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Like last year we saw the trail Lance line movement.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It feels the same with this year, like all of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm gonna wake up and see the quarterbacks
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: dropping to pick twenty or something crazy like that. Are
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you here? And stuff like that to Scott, Yeah, that's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. And uh, you know, good friend former
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Action Network. You know remember Matthew Freedman, He actually went
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: back and and did a study and and basically looked
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: over the last in and fifteen years, and when a
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: quarterback wasn't selected in the top five, that generally gave
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you a signal that the gms and the scouts are
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: very down on the quarterback class. And that's when those
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks started to slide. And I think you actually have
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the number of two and a half, But like when
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you start looking at it with those numbers, when quarterbacks
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: weren't drafted in the top five, generally only like two
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks went in the first round. I just don't think
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: all of these quarterbacks they that are in this draft
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: as prospects. They have their war you know, they all
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: have their their different issues, especially within the leak Wills,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: who may have the top upside, but you look at
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: what he ran there in Liberty and the level of
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: competition that he played at. I think it's gonna take
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: a year or two for him to to go ahead.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It's not to say that any of these guys can't,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: you know, can't come out and produce and prove us wrong.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: But from the prospect evalue wasting standpoint, there's just not
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a clean one there for this draft class. Yeah, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I mean opponent on that. It's like, um, things are
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: always evolved the NFL. Like I'll never forget the year
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the Eagles went and traded up to get Wentz. Golf
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: was the number one pick. How he said something I'll
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: ever forget, which is how you just know these guys
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: are so full of ship. He said, we trade up
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to get Wentz because the upcoming draft classes of quarterbacks
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: are no good. The following year was Mahomes and Watson.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: So it's one of those where these gms are gonna
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: say a lot of bs and just talk whatever reason,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: but it is it is gonna be interesting where it's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: just so much smoke. This year again, Peter King put
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: out a mock draft Monday morning, I do believe that's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: why Walker's odd shifted so highly, because he literally can
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: put you and check the draft kings timing of it
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: he put his article. I believe this guy put it
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: out a like midnight or eleven PM. That's when you started.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: The odds for Walker for number one pick really go
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: from believe this plus two fifty to minus one fifty
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: between twelve pm East Coast time and four am East
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Coast time. So it is really really crazy. All the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: drama rumors we're gonna hear, and when you wake up
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Thursday morning, check the odds if you've been betting these
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: draft odds, because that movement you see draft morning, that's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: as real as it's gonna get. Like. That's when the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: pros really strike and the information is really good. So again,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: make these bets, but make sure, like Scott talked about,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you're kind of hedging and taking care of your position,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: because you know what't Bean calling these kind of things.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The draft is meant to be fun and be able
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to make some good money off taking a batage of
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: some spots. Don't go all in on the first pick,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: or don't go all in on us saying bet the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: over of the cornerbacks. You kind of want to spread
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: these things out just because again, the draft is a
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: long first day, and just the warning just to to
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: some of the listeners right now. The last few years,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of these sports books have been getting burned,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: see with a lot of these prop shows popping up
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people getting sharper and some of
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: these sharp vettors betting big early in the morning. So
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: be on the lookout because some of these sports books
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: are gonna start locking these bets out and taking a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: lot of these bets off their sites. So I wouldn't
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: expect to be able to wait in an hour or
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: two before the draft hits and be able to go
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: pound some of these numbers. I think some of these
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: sports books are just gonna flat out shut down the numbers,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and that's not allowed by that biggest being that close.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Vegas does not take action on the draft day. So
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: New Jerseys you can get. You can get action down
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: New York all these other states. But like Scott said,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: if you if you're making bets afternoon on Draft day,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: your options are gonna be very slim. That are gonna
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: start taking these numbers down. And if you're in Vegas,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: make sure you get all your bets and Wednesday night beforehand,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: they're taking all lines down on Thursday. I was literally
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: gonna ask both of you your biggest piece of advice
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: when you bet the draft, and you both basically gave
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: warnings and caution folks, and you reminded people if you
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: do want to do it, you cannot wait too long.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: And I guess the positive this year compared to last year.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna get some blockbuster for a tree Lance, right,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have an idea. But but with the the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: downfall would will be as as Simon said, You're gonna
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: get uh, You're gonna get some um, some understanding based
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: on reporting what team and what player might fit in
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: terms of interest and what they plan on doing with
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: X pick in terms of the pick number odds that
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: are up at a variety of books. I'm open for
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: a shock the world Lions take Molika pick two because
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that would honestly throw a wrench in everything, and that
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: would be epic. But that's for chaos that is gonna
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: do it for us everybody. Scott Smith does a great
