  Speaker 1: Welcome to Jaguars Thursday. Summer Jaguars Jeff Flangerman and Tony
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Boselli bring you expert insight and analysis of your Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Now to get things started. He's the host of Jaguars Thursday.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick. Welcome Ba from the dream Finders home
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: splect team. The first round just a couple of hours
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: away from right now. What's up, guys? How are we doing?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Brings back a lot of memories. Yeah, Draft Night, yeah
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: right yeah, but of a of course back back, it
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't Draft Night, Draft Day Saturday. We'll get to some
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of your recollections from your respective days coming up a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: little bit later tonight. We'll get your thoughts on who
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the Jags could go with at twenty nine. I think
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they're gonna take a guy by the name of J. P.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Shaddick nose tackle first round. Yeah, A damn, that's how
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I call it. Right. Uh, we'll see what happens in
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of hours, right, I mean, I guess the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: average pick for the twenty nine pick is around ten
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: forty five or so. We've done the math on this
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that some algorithms, and ten forty five is the Jags
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: should be picking. Uh, that's not the biggest news at
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: least of the day so far. Earlier today, the news
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: came out that the Jaguar's owner Shot Khan has put
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a bit in to buy Wimbley Stadium in London. What
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you would you make of the news when you heard that,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I just missed out. I was close. You were next
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to I was bidding as well, and uh got out
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of my price range pretty quick. Yeah, see, I didn't.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And I kind of read it as if you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's all but a done deal. I think he
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: was the only one you bid. Yeah, so right, Yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's just a matter of working
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: out the finer details and then he's gonna be the owner,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you know. And I don't. I don't think there's any surprise,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean when you go back to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the you know, the the meeting or the presentation they
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that state of the franchise. He mentioned repeatedly. Mark Lamping
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned repeatedly about protecting their position in London. That's right,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and what better way to do that than to, you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: gain control of one of the two venues that NFL
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: games are played at. And as the owner of Wembley Stadium.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know, not only are you gonna be able to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: kind of control who plays there, but also you know
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you can kind of control the gate, you know, so uh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I think I think also the other I think there's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that are gotten real nervous about it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a reason to be nervous. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: think one thing that I think will probably happen, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just guessing here that at some point this team
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: will play in London twice. I mean, when you have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a venue over there that's that's owned by, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the guy that owns a football team, I think it
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: makes sense and so I would not be surprised at
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that some point in the near future that that happens.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But I think there's a lot of people that are
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: thinking that automatically. You know, that it means this team
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: would be playing eight games over there instead of just
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: one or two. I don't think that's the case. I think,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, and they're still trying to figure out as
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a league, is a team in London even viable, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to be able to compete with the rest of the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: league if it's based out of there. So you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for for all the people the sky is falling, that's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a little premature. Well not only that, if you also forget,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: let's not also forget that at that uh state the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: franchise they announced watch j Yes they did. I think
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an investment going into this
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: stadium in this area by our owner's hot coom, which
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is much more than double the investment in buying Wembley Stadium,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: by the way, So I don't think that we're gonna
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: invest and leave. It just doesn't make any sense. So
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's obviously a good business deal, offer great opportunity.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I think it does protect your interest. You now have
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the own the stadium that the NFL at least one
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of the states the NF it wants to play in.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And so you can basically say the NFL, we'll play here,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but we're playing here every year, Yeah, and and at
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: least once. And I think they agree with Jeff Um.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And neither Jeff or I have any inside baseball, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: or knowledge um anything being decided or even discussions. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I just get the sense that and I've thought this
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: for a while, and Jeff, you and I have talked
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: about this, that ultimately, this team is gonna play two
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: games over in London. Yeah and and at first, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: when I first thought two games was gonna be an eventuality,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I was thinking home and a way, And but you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the money is home and home, and so I think
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: at some point out that will be the case. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: don't know when, and I haven't heard that that's gonna
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: be the case. And look, I may be off base there,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but may it just kind of makes sense, uh, with
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you know, the transaction that I'm sure will soon be
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: taking place. Yeah, and and it certainly increases the revenue
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for the one game that Jaguars played there because they
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: get the stadium part of the gate. Let let me
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: add this to you know, the talk about London is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: obviously been around for a lot of years, and what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: better way to have it than to have control of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the stadium in London and then also have a market
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in in in the US. You know, it's it's the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: best of both worlds where you've you've got both and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you know, and I still believe and I believe this
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with all my heart that you know, the this team's owner,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Shot Khan, you know, getting this team international exposure in London,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: which is one of the biggest cities in the world,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: if not the biggest city in the world as far
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: as financial I think it's the biggest city. Giving this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: city the exposure over there in London is is something
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that you you just can't You can't pay for that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: if you're the city of Jacksonville, no doubt about that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Mark Lamping was on a conference call earlier today, said
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the deal could be done in around eight weeks give
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: or take a few, so fairly straightforward transaction shot, con
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: schedule to speak with the local media here, a uniform
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: launch and draft party and around six fifteen tonight. Let
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: me bring this up. What other stadiums you know that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: are are iconic like Wimbley, the Rose Bowl, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that's but I mean world worldwide, it's I mean,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: are there any other stadiums in the world that you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: couldn't mention anywhere in the world. Well, but here's my thing, Jeff,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: if I had asked you five years ago, six years ago,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but whatever it was before we started going over there,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: tell me the most iconic stadium in the world, you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: would not have said Wimbley. No, I wouldn't have because
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: we had no exposure point to London or anything like that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: But I mean when you when you're talking about in
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in all of the European Union, that is the number
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: one status internationally. Absolutely and for people who have traveled
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: internationally and have a uh, you know, a sense of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know, outside of America, then yes, I would say
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that now, but prior to being exposed to it and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: kind of culturally spending a lot of time over there,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I would not have, uh, just because I didn't know
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: about it. But it's what to your point and what
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: JP is saying, it is, you know, right there with
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the best of them as far as iconic uh stadiums
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: uh in the world. Interesting way as you think about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: iconic stadiums, Now, this is an iconic, but most you
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: know worldwide, you know, as far as being known stadiums,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: there's one in Dallas is getting catching up some menum,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: people talk about it everywhere to draft and I remember
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: going to London people talking about it, and and then that's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: where the draft is tonight. So you know, could the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: draft be at Wimbley one day? Might be Uh, let's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: move ahead here, so that'll dominate the headlines the next
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: few days. Of course, let's get to the draft tonight.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: There is we'll get to the Jaguars part of this
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: what we think coming up a little bit later tonight.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: But there's the field that is, it's a run on
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks early. There could be some event a lot of trades.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: That's the talk nationally. You guys agree with that. What's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the feeling? Who knows? I mean, the you know, the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what's kind of getting some momentum today is Baker Mayfield
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: number one to the grounds, which I don't think any
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of us saw that coming. And you know who knows?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I mean John Dorsey has also come out and said
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: clearly that nobody, including his wife, knows who he is picking,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: uh and won't know until it's time to make the pick.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So you know there's I mean, you know, I mean,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: come on, you know you got some of those wives groups.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You know, talk talk, but you know, you know this
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is the time for smoke screens and it's you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's a big poker games. You know, it's you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: who can lie the best right now and kind of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know set up, especially in the top ten the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: position you know the guy you want and target the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: guy you want. So who knows what's gonna happen. Um,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but it's always fun. It's always exciting is the thing
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: gets kicked off and you kind of especially this year
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: because I think in the past, because I you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: think about you, everyone had an idea who the number
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: one pick was gonna be. I mean it was you
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: know this guy, you know, Myles Garrett. I mean everyone
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: knew Miles Garrett was gonna be the numb one guy.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And you gotta had a sense, well, and you're good
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to go back. You know, years ago there was an
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: idea and people knew who the number one pick was
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be because a lot of times the negotiations, it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: was a part of being a number one pick. You know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: if if you weren't able to get a deal done
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: with the number one pick, because back then you didn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have a rookie salary cap. You know, they wanted to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: find out, can we get a deal with this guy?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You know, so a lot of times the contract was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: already in place and they were negotiating with three guys
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to be the number one overall pick in the draft,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and contractually, whoever was able to get it done with
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that's it was gonna be the guy. But you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to go to this draft. This is the biggest draft
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL by far, hands down,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: by what it is. It will be the it will
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: be the most watched NFL draft because it's three, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: more importantly it is I think it's the most compelling
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: draft in history. Be because of the quarterbacks. Oh, I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: disagree with that. I don't. I mean stepping away from
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the draft of nine, which of course you know the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: two best, but I mean you think about the number
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that are in the first round, but there's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: no different. It's nineteen eighties three and that was you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Ken O'Brien and Dan Marino and way. But here's the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: thing with that draft. I mean, there wasn't many people
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that were paying that much attention to the draft back
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighties three. And the draft is now what
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: it has become to where it's on multiple networks. Every
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: NFL team for the most part, is having a draft party,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: just like we're at right here now where there's twenty
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: thousand people registered. And so I would say, I'm not
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: it's not the two if you define biggest, it's gonna
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be the most watched draft ever because don three networks
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Foxes not watching it. It's gonna be the most attended
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: draft ever because they're expecting over two hundred thousand people. Uh,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: two hundred thousands. That's what they say and read somewhere,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you know, based on who they say surrounding area. Um,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and so that's gonna be crazy, you know, so as
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: far as attention in viewership and I guess we're gonna
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: start dancing here soon. Yes, um, yes, that's true. That
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't make it the best draft ever or anything like that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: From a player standport, I don't even think it's the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: most intriguing draft ever. I do. I do just because
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks. I mean, to me, when you've got
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: when you've got possibly six quarterbacks, they're gonna be drafted
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the first round. I mean, from from an interest standpoint,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: fan interest standpoint, and just a football interstandpoint, it doesn't
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: get any more intriguing than that. When you're talking about
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: potentially six first round pick quarterbacks, I mean, that's that's crazy. Well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: if it was gonna be six first round offensive tackles,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that would be more intriguing. Or pass rushing defensive ends, well,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I mean that's he was a linebacker coming round there's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: like five or six pass rushing guys a good draft
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that every year in the first round. I think it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: pretty close to it. But I mean quarterbacks, I mean
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: it's just very rare. I mean, what's the most ever
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in the first round? What is the record for it?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Right now? So I mean, if if there ends up
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: being six with you know, the quarterback at Oak Club
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was Oklahoma State, I believe it is Mason Rudolph, you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: know that could he would be number six, and obviously
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the quarterback out of Louisville being number five. I mean
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that's you know, I think it's awesome. And you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: here's the thing there is, you know, we're talking about realistically,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: four quarterbacks that are kind of hot to try in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: this draft, and you're you're looking at six seven teams
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that would pounce on a quarterback have given the opportunity
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of those four guys, maybe more, I mean maybe eight,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: maybe nine. I mean it might be higher, it might
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: be ten. But I mean that that to me makes
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it very intriguing. So when teams want to go up
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to get quarterbacks, that means other good players and other
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: positions can move down and be available here in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: first round. It could cause a frenzy later in the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: night too. You never know, this could be a wild
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: first round. You know what I like about this draft
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: this year? What's that Tony That? Well, it's a big
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: deal and it's to be fun down here. A good night, great,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a great night. I'm like yours pass. It's you don't
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: feel like it's like the end of the world one
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: way or another for this football team. They can line
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: up and play. That's what Doug Maron said last week.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They're comfortable to go out in line up and play
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: right now. What you love? That's great. Obviously, you want
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to get a good player. You need to be building
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for the future. You need to have young players, and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you got The draft is so critical because if you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: miss on drafts, there's a gap in your progression. So
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but I think it's great the fact that this is
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: not the end all be all as far as, oh
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: my gosh, we better get somebody who can start next year.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It's great from that aspect, but it's also not so
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: great and that the percentages of missing at nine go
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: up dramatically as opposed to where this team has been
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: drafting lately, which is in the top ten. So uh,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: so it's obviously the the scouting department. Dave called Walt
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin. You know this is where you are in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: your keep, you know, because the great teams in the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: NFL consistently draft well in the latter part of the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: first round. We're gonna come back and get into what
• 14:18

  Speaker 1: minutes to get inside Daily's place. You better come early
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: tonight because Gator Bowl Boulevard is closed from A. Philip
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Randolph to Tallyrand Why is that? Because there's over twenty
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: thou expected tonight that have R s v P for this.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: A lot j is closed down for the Rockville concerts
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: throughout the weekend, the Jumbo Shrimper Homes starting tonight against
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the Pensacola Blue Waho's a lot going on down here,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: so parking is at a premium. So if you're coming tonight,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: get here early. Of course, the draft coverage starts at
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock. Our coverage on Jaguars Radio starts tonight at nine,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and the Jaguars expected to pick if they stay at
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: twenty nine around or so, that's the any chance they
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: move up, guys, I don't think so, yeah, I don't
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: just don't see it. I mean when you look, when
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you're because what it takes to move up is is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: losing other picks, and I just don't see. They've already
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: gave away one pick. They lost what a sixth round
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: pick that they're not gonna have this year. I can't
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: see them losing. Did they get any competence of the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: pick uh compensitory picks? The loss of no because they
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: signed a bunch of free agents last year. Remember what
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they lost Allen Robinson. Nothing Rollen Robinson next year. Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you're a little bit ahead of yourself here, Tony, So
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: get one next year. Now, it's possible, you know, at
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the end of this round tonight, if guys are falling
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: down the board and teams are wanting to come up
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: into the round, that's possible to move back. And I
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: think that's a strong possibility because teams like to move
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the first round because you
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: get the the option, the fifth year option, the ability
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to pick that up with these prospects in the first round,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: whereas you don't have that ability in a second round.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So so it's a little bit more value, you know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: from going from number thirty two to thirty three, is
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: just because the ability you get that extra year to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: tack on no prospects. So yeah, I mean, I think
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: there's there's a strong chance that number twenty nine could
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: be traded away. And what has many many people view
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that's a very deep draft. You're talking in rounds two
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and round three to drop back, maybe pick up an
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: extra two and an extra three, and now you're maybe
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: eyeballing a couple extra starters that you didn't have, you know, so,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that they will be starting caliber,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: but you know, look on this football team, you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: they say that they're ready to line up now, Well
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it would be better to line up now ready to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: go with a bunch of rookies that our view of starters,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: they don't kind of come in and legitimately legitimately compete
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: for playing time. So you're saying, we could be here
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: all night, and I see it. It could. He not
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: anti climactic, but I mean, look, that's you know a
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: lot of people be kind of bummed out about it
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: because you know there's no crescendo. But I mean, for me,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, the draft is a crap shoot. I mean
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: that's the reality. It's a crap shoot. So look, take
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: as many picks as you can get. First time in
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a decade, the Jaguars have not had a top ten
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and draft pick. They traded into the top ten one
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of those ten years, So a little different field tonight.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So let's go through the positions. What's your guts saying
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: if everybody's there, is it tied end? Is it old line?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Is it is a wide receiver? Is there a position
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: group out there that we're not looking at? Maybe a quarterback?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Is that even a thing? I think it's a linebacker.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I really think they need linebacker depth. I think there's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: some good line I think a guy like that with
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Shaan Evans, if he falls down, uh in that area,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: dynamic can multifacet He can play any three of the positions. Well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: here's the because if he's gonna play the strong side,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he's only gonna be out there thirty percent of the time.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: But he has ability where he is. He has proven
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: that he can play. Uh, he can rush the pass
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: or he did in Alabama. He showed real pass ruscille
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: especially this past year. I mean he can obviously be
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a bestalis player. And you need depth. I mean, come on,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you have here. Here's here's think about what happens in
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: who's the Kelvin Smith, Miles Jack gets hurt? Good point,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Brown is around right Brown? Tell me who the starters
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: are right now? Tell me your three starting linebackers would
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: be uh, Miles Jack and then it be Blair Brown
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: right on the other side. Okay, so you did to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: tell me you have three starters right now, that's not accurate.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You'd like to have one more high now. Maybe Blair
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Brown helps into that. But if you sit here today,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I would not say he's you know, you would consider
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: him a starter, Jeff, would you? No? I mean I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: would like to not think that he's gonna be a starter,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's it's not ready for that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He's not good enough for that. In my opinion, I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: would like to see the Jaguars go offense. I mean,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: he lost you know, you lost a dynamic widress ever,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: even though he didn't play last year, and a rob
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you know, and me and Tony we're talking about this earlier.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I mean to to think about a dynamic receiving tight
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: end that this organization has had. You know, Marcedes Lewis
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: was drafted for that. I mean, that's what what was
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the award that he won for the best Matthew were
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the best receiving tight end in college football and he
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: turned out to be the best blocking tight end arguably
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: in the league. But he wasn't a dynamic receiving tight end.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You know, so you go all the way back to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: our era and talk about Pete Mitchell, Kyle Brady. Kyle
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Brady was not a dynamic receiving tight end, had seventy
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: catches all remind everyone it was Look, he was a
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: really good tight end. But I'm talking about a Jimmy Graham,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you know, like the guy in Dallas that's been around
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: forever and he's still playing today. You know, it'd be
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: nice to have a guy in kas City still tight end.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So we get gron if we would be great. I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: think Gronk over Chelsea well either way, I mean that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: kind of guy. But there is a quarterback best friend.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's short throads, it's high completion percentage.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I would argue an offensive lineman's quarterback. And so there's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: two guys that are that are kind of rated around
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that bottom of the first round. It is hating her
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, who is a Bowls kid. You know, it's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: got some ties locally. And then also the I like
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the tight end from South Dakota State, you know, Dallas.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be pronounce his name on purpose.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Go dirt it's Goddert. Okay, I understand that, but go
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Dirt sounds better. We'll get more marketing contracts. It's like
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Joe Dirt Godert. You know that's gonna be a marketing contract.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He's a dynamic guy. He's a better blocker, I think
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: than hating Hearst. He's bigger, he's got a little nastiness
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to him, and guy can flat out roll. I think
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you'd be a real nice addition to this offense, even
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: though you know they've made some tight end additions in
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the off season, but you know, you gotta have somebody that's,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of a franchise type tight end. About
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: just ski from and say he his his blocking. If
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I showed you his blocking, you would say I'm not
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: drafting him. I'm talking about j P. Shadrick draft expert.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Let me show you five minutes of him blocking and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you move on and you will be embarrassed for him. Wow,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that's how bad he is. And so he is not
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a fit here because he refuses the block. He can't block,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: not even he's not capable of blocking. He can't even
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: get in the way. Somebody embarrassed a little bit, a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: little aggressive, Okay, all right. I'm just saying, you watch
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the tape. You watch the tape. I'm gonna go back.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: It's kind of funny because Bill Polian, who does the ESPN,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: they had a conversation. I just happened to catch it
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: this week and they're talking about Jesseki's blocking, and you
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: know what he did. He covered his eyes when he
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: started talking about Jesse's woking and he goes, he goes, well,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: when it comes to his blocking, you just have to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: do this. He was embarrassed for him. That's how bad
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it is. Here you go, So, I guess that's a no.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Here's a crazy thing, Tony. Did you ever imagine a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: tight end that went to Penn State that absolutely was
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: an atrocious blocker. That's not usually what you get out
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: of that. Sounds like Segen Kyle Brady, that's what you
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: think of Penn State, Big tough guys offensive line. Uh,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: sounds like could be a pair of Notre Dame guys
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: going on the top ten. Maybe mcglinchy the tackle and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Nelson the guard is going in the top ten. I mean,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: he's the best offensive lineman by far. It's not closed.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Mcglency is the right tackle. I don't think he can
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: play left tackle. I disagree. I think he's a left tackle.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Did you watch the Georgia game. Yeah, struggle with one.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but he struggled with speed. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: he struggles with speed at times. But he's the best
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: prospect and left tackle. It's not a very good draft
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: for for left tackles, that's the reality. But the guy
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: can play. You know, he's played against a high caliber
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: of competition. That's back, that's back to back years where
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: there hasn't been a lot of depth or top end
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: at on the tackle position. Yeah. I think the two
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: best left tackle prospects in the draft are at usc
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and and U. C l A. And I think both
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: of those guys will end up being draft I'm trying
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: to remember the name of the gust at U c
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: l A not usc At. Yeah. Yeah, U c l
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: A has been hurt a lot, but yeah, he's he's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a pretty talented kid. What about Will Hernandez, the guard
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: from Texas El Paso, big fellow, big, big guy, powerful,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: uh road grader. Yeah, a good stiff. He's a little stiff,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you know, he's I mean, if you're comparing them to
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the guy at Notre Dame Simon close. It's not even close,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you know. And and so I don't know. I don't
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: understand all the talk because you know, we mean. JP
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: had a conversation earlier the the offensive guard that played
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans is now with the Tennessee Davie
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Philo reminds me of him now not great feat big
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: ball or guy. You know. It looks for the part,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if he's necessarily athletic enough to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: play the part. Guy you want on your side on
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a bar fight. But about that, Hey, we'll come. You
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: don't really want to be in a bar fight these days, JP.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: That's why I need his help. Well, I need your help.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment and get your guys
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: thoughts about your draft day experience and your thoughts about
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: mel Kayper Jr. Jeff talking to you. That's coming up.

• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and Fred Taylor has joined us on stead. Freddy, I'm great.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. I'm fired up because you know
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: what I've heard Basselly's you know, draft day experience story.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I've never heard your traft day experienced story. Mine was simple.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I mean this guy was the first pick in the well,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Ever in the team, there's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a special guy, always has man. No, My mine was simple.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I was afraid to go to New York. You know
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that that the uncomfortable feeling when you look at it
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: on TV. A lot of those guys seemed embarrassed that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: they hadn't gone where they were projected to go. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: for that, I just stay home and enjoyed it with
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: family and friends. Where they where were they telling you
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go? Where? Where was your thoughts going into
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the draft? Uh? Top three backs? But uh Curtis Zenas
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and Robbert Edwards. So they said, either of us can
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: go either way. The other guys again, I know, right
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: who Curtis Zeneis went to Chicago at five and Robert
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: went sixteen in New England and uh neither guy played
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: more than three years. Isn't that amazing? Unfortunately for rob
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he got pranked up rookie year. Yeah, Pro Bowl, right,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? Right? Volley Right. Just just goes to show
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you what we were talking about earlier about when you
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: can sit there and say, you know, you want this
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: traff pick and you want to trade up and all
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, the reality is, even though you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: think they're great players, I mean, there's an example of
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: one that didn't turn out to be a very good player,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Okay from Penn State and ENUS and then the other guy, Edwards,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: just got a freak injury, which can happen anywhere. So
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: out of those three acts, right, and I ever had
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a good rookie year there too, Yeah, very solid rookie year.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I was invited to that same rookie uh, same game,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: uh platte game. Thankfully I didn't go, you know, but
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: in my my experience though, man, I mean my draft,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the experience, I was home coach Coughlin called right the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: ninth pick, say a young man, you're ready to become
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a Jaguar. I wasn't gonna say no, right, so I said,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of course, Coach, and he's like, all right, uh, you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: know it, put me on the phone with some other
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: people to make flight arrangements to get on the flight
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: to come and do the press conference. The rest is history.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: So here I forgot that I didn't own a suit.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I had to go to men's ware house first and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I bought a top in some slacks. So here, here's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the funny part. I talked to Coach Coufland, and I
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: talked to some other people. It's just a total blur,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: or wasn't it. Do you remember who was you talked to?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll talk to old Room. I'm I'm guessing
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I talked to Yarrow at some point, But I do
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: remember talking to coach, but it was brief. Yeah, it
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: was a brief. You know. Coach he's all business. He's like, hey,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you're ready to be a Jaguar. He's like, uh, I'll
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: put you on the phone with some other people and
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that was it. Real. It's funny that you had the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: same thought I did about going to New York. I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: was scared to death of being that guy. The only
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: reason I went is I called my age and he's like, listen,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they want you to come. Like I said, no, the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: first two of your times and they said want you
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to come, And I said, the only way I'm going
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: is you can Garrett TV. I'm going into the top ten.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And he's like, you're not gonna make it past five.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Just just amazing, man. We didn't know I could have
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: been that guy that went to New York and like
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: was shocked. Oh yeah, you know that was like in
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the back, you know, second run where they were like
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: second day pick. You know, he's not gonna make it
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: out here today. Where were you on Draft Day then? Mix?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I was on I had a college house and it
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: was on Hanover Street and we called it Hangover Street
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. I think the largest kick party we
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: had there was about twelve and uh friends, family, coaches. Uh.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: It was. It was very cool. Thankfully I did not
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: hear mel Kuiper's commentary after the Jets just don't know
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: what the draft is all about. Yeah, and they still
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: played that today. But now it's something that you'll never forget.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Regardless of you know, where you were, who you were with.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You know, you can forget a lot of things, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: you won't forget that day. It changed my life forever,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: not just you know, from a financial standpoint, but the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: relationships I've you know, endured and known, you know, love
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: to this day. Uh. It taught the game, taught me
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a lot, matured me a lot. Uh spent a third
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: in my life here with the team that drafted me
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: before and I moved on to New England. You know
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the best part about Freddie's draft stories. I remember the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: weekend after he came here after getting drafted, smiling and
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: he had to set of gold teeth. Oh there's my guy.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm getting called from you gonna go who are
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: they taking position? I think they're gonna get a linebacker.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Fred Taylor going to defense and has to go get
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: ready for the uniform launch and draft party here at
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: every Bank Fields. So I just I remember, you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that was my last year playing in the NFL, which
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: was Fred's first year. And I'll never forget this. Uh
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: had a conversation with Fred about, you know, his ability
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to really capture Jacksonville because he was he was a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: UF guy. I mean, you're talking about a Florida Gator
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and how many opportunities would have. But I'll never forget
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: in training camp and Tony you might remember this, he
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: got hurt and it was like a back injury in
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: training camp and he was on the training table and
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say crying, but it was in tears.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And I went up to him, you know, trying to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: be you know, veteran guy, and I was like, hey,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you okay, and he was literally poured his heart out.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: He was worried about getting cut because he was injured
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and wasn't able to practice in training camp. And I said, Fred,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you're you're a top ten pick in the first round.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Gett't cut. Orry about it, buddy. But he he didn't know.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: He didn't know. I mean he was just so young,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: so young and and inn and he just had no idea.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what kind of made Fred so great,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: you know, because you know, he came in so young
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and raw. He didn't know. But you won't talk about
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a guy that could change the game and the blank
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of an eye because you know, when we were when
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he was in training camp, we had James Stewart, but
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: we felt pretty good about you know, good solid start
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: in the first three games until I got hurt. The
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: very good player. And we knew that Fred had speed,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: we had seen that at certain times. Well we didn't know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you know, that he could be you know, Fred Taylor.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: So we were all kind of, I don't say we
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: were excited about Fred, but we were kind of, you
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: know a little bit reserved, like, you know, he's got
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to show us, you know, it's hurting a little bit
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: in training camp, didn't really show much. It was kind
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of hesitant. And then holy cow when he got on
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: game day, man, when he got that little that little
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: shuffle step and then the burst of acceleration second to none.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: In the NFL Week three of against Baltimore James dirt
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Ter's day cel on the first quarter, Fred Taylor comes in. Hello,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Fred takes one about fifty yards of the house. Unbelievable.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I got the third, fourth carry or whatever. One was like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: all right, pretty good, It's my new favorite player. He had.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: He had an ability I think that was that was
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: very unique and that he would kind of stutter, you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: whereas a lot of running backs had moves and shake
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Fred Fred didn't really try to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: do that. He would just slow down and make a
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: defender kind of settle or square up the feet just
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: for a split second. Because his his acceleration was so
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: superior to anybody else's, they didn't have a chance if
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: they slowed their feet or slowed their speed down in
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: any way whatsoever. Fred beat him because he was that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: fast and had that much acceleration to get the top speed.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: We appreciate Fred swinging by here before his duties tonight.
• 34:17

  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan that type of ride sharing stuff.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I ain't looking even if you're gonna have just like
• 37:19

• 37:28
  Speaker 1: hate to keep giving plugs to one. I mean the lift.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: It's a couple of different ones. Yeah, ride sharing kind
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of you called JP a JP man. Can you give
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: me a lift? Yeah? So yeah, whatever, there's a couple
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: of contents. But it's almost like, uh, it's uh, like,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: can you say I'm gonna FedEx something? Yeah, that's right, right,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Like you can ups it could be whatever. It's like
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the like the leading brand becomes like the term for it,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: like and even Xerox something that's right, Well, it's actually
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: one brand of pop goes. Yeah, hey, let's let's go
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: around the National Football League. As happens around this time
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of years, sometimes some news from the past for these
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: prospects comes up in the final hours before the draft,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: including Josh Allen's tweets in high school. Some offensive tweets
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: surfaced shockingly the day before the draft. He has apologized JP.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad Tony could probably say the same thing.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: We all could probably say the same thing. I'm just
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: collect because we didn't have Twitter when I was in
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: high school. You still don't have Twitter. I saw I
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: got it, but I don't use it. I'm just glad
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: that some of my actions, okay from high school and
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: probably some of my words weren't publicized. That's right, you know,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: could you not say the same thing, Tony? Could you
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: not say the same thing? Was perfect? Of course you were,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: but I mean really, I mean, well, here's the problem.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know they were offensive, racily insensitive, and
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: some bad language. I guess I see the tweets that
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: anyone to actually see the tweet. I think there are
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: some lines from some hit rapper hip hop songs and
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: a modern family TV show. I've never seen Modern Family.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that mean, what it is, but anyways, um,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: it was thirteen or fourteen years old. If I was
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: held accountable for everything I said when I was thirteen
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: or fourteen years old, and that somehow you're gonna judge
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: me when I was drafted because of that. And here's
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the thing that people that report this and some of
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the people I listened to now make these like comments
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that this is unbelievable. The hypocrisy is shocking to me
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: because there's not anyone I know that hasn't said things
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: in jest or in joking manners among friends, especially when
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: you're young and I said the same thing I think
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago around the you know stuff,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the bullying in locker rooms and stuff like that that
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: you know, how dare people say, I'm like, come on,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: there's not a football player alive that you know, it's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: not in a locker room situation, and things get said,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: or even if you're not saying him, you laugh at
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: things that you should not be laughing at. And well,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the context in the locker room was a whole lot
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: different than than in other places. Maybe, And to to
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: to tell Jackson Deville won't leave me alone right now.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: But if to tell uh to make a judgment about
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: a young man based on that when all other reports
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: from teammates, coaches, friends, associates have been nothing but positive
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: about them, there's my question. I mean, listen, what do
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: you I don't even know it got clicks apparently at
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the question why why did it come out today? Is
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the draft I know? But out today because some some
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: journalists whoever broke the story wanted to be about him
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: getting credit and he clicks to his website and recognition
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: from his organization. See what I did, How I drove
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: all these people to our site. That's why it happened,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: and I like, I love to ask the person who
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: wrote the story. I'm not I'm not blaming the person
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: who wrote the story. I just asked him. I said,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: can I look at your Twitter for the last twenty years?
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: It would take him like ten minutes. Do you look
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: at mine? Can I go back? JP would take you
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of days. Can I interview your friends and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: all this and ask you ever been told a off
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: color joke or said something you shouldn't have? Yeah, it's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: it's not I'm not saying it's he and he said
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: he's sorry, and I'm sure. I mean, I mean, we
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: become and I understand. Let me let me positive thinking here.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I hope he falls to the Jaguars at earlier. Can
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you imagine that'd be great? Would be a great thing. Ever,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I'd like, would they pull the trigger? Yes, they dare
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: if Josh if Josh, I asked Logs the same thing.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: And I agree with hit what he said. He said,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: if he's there, you pick him. I agree. Figure out
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the rest later. Yea. But yeah, it's too bad. Again,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: we're not saying what he said. He's okay or wrong,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: riter and different, don't I don't even know what they were,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: but I have a hard time judging. I didn't even
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't have read what they were. All I all
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I read was that he had tweets when he was
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: on high school and as soon as I read that,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: it speaking of quarterbacks who have had off the field
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: issues before. Baker Mayfield is the buzz today. Apparently some
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: momentum building around the league that the Browns could take
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: him number one overall. Yeah, but let me let me
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: say this about it. If people haven't seen this, the
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: buzz I think today about Baker Mayfield was also doing
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: part because he put out a photo that basically imitated
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Brett Farve's Draft day photo from years ago. And if
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, it is spot on and it
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: is classic. We're the gene shorts on the bed team shorts. Okay, awesome,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: classic And uh, who knows to Baker Mayfield for having
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: a sense of humor? Do you have a pair of
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: those still locks? I do roll up gene shorts. I mean,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, they're not like rolled up shorts, but
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: but I've got gene shorts that are cut off and
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: they're like totally not in. But I've still got them
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: just because I use them. They wear them around the house. Really,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I use them to workout. And I don't think we
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: don't need to know anymore about your gene shorts issues.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Panthers in tight end Greg Olsen agreed to a two
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: year extension seventeen point one million dollars totally thirty three
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: years old, and Greg Olsen could still play I'm sure
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: no good football player, dynamic football player, dynamic tight end.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: And he was talking about maybe doing Monday night football
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and and leaving the pro game. It kind of was
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: dropping hints about that. Yeah, But I mean, congratulations to him,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and then congratulations to the Carolina Panthers and Marty Hernie,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: who is there now permanent general manager, for having the
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I think the thought, you know, have a guy that's
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: under contract, but he's clearly outperformed his contract, and to
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: reward him with a contract that pays him really what
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: his value is. I mean, look, there's not many organizations
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: that are in the National Football League that would do that.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of them would tell the player, look, your
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: contract is what it is. Either pay or don't get
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: paid at all. Uh. And so kudos to the Carolina
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Panthers gentle manager for her or the player clearly that
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: deserved it. Reuben Foster update. The woman involved in that
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: case plans to recant the claims of domestic violence against
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the forty isnade linebacker. She released a statement Wednesday claiming
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: that she can prove that Foster did not cause her
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: injuries from an alleged February incident. She claims the injuries
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: were a result of a fight with another woman, and
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Foster tried to end the relationship after learning of that fight.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: How about Tony, can you uh here, let's go back
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: okay before this uh concocted story and you know, pulling
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: away the claims he supposedly busted this girl's eardrum. That
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: was the initial reports. And the police are not I
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: don't know when the police are not backing off of
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: what their's what their story is. And Ruben Foster is
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: literally staring at you know, ten years of jail time
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and also and if he doesn't go to jail not
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: having a job in the NFL period? Does the Forts
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: have said that if he struck the woman, John Lynn said,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: if he's struck this woman, he is done with us.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: He would be done with every team in the National
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Football League of what's been reported turns out to be true.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: So you think she got paid to change story. It
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: just it just doesn't feel right, doesn't I mean, it
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: just doesn't feel right. No, it's a terrible situation. I mean,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the next type of violence against a woman. And here's
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: no place anywhere. And if you I mean, listen, here's
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I say all the time in these situations because we
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: don't ultimately know. I hope if he did it, he
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: goes to jail, and I hope he didn't he's clear,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: and you go play football, right, I mean, that's what
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I hope. I mean, I don't know. I don't know
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: what he did didn't do. And he's not gonna get
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt because he's got a little
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: bit of a track record, you know, and his his
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: issue that at the combine when prior to the draft,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: when he was drafted, and he's basically thrown out of
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: the combine for being you know, rude, disrespectful and downright
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to Grady and to one of the medical people at
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: the hospital, you know. So he's not gonna get a pass,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: nor he should he get a pass in any way,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: shape or form. You got the drumline going, boys d
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: line us here. The roar of the Jaguars will be
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: here as well tonight. Jackson Deville step Ire said a
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: moment ago, Fred Taylor's in the house saying, I think
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I'd be good on the simile parties. Oh you gonna
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: do is hit it one time? Yeah? Are the either
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: that or a cow bell? Is there a cow bells
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: action in the drum? More cow bells? More cow But
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I have more cowbell around here. I got a fever.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Our coverage on Jaguars dot Com happens after the draft
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: pick tonight will go on live immediately with analysis and
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: much more of the press conferences from the Jaguars. Uh brass.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars Draft Show in Action News television starts about
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: five minutes from right now, and of is at nine
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. Jaguars radio draft coverage, Right, we got two
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: hours off. Yes you do the food. Yes, we're gonna
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: find something. Uh Me and Tony kind of threw our
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: picks out there earlier. He was for Sean Evans with
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: this linebacker Alabama. I was kind of hoping for either
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Hammer or Dallas go dirty, brilliant Marketer, what who would
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: you like to see? Uh, Will Hernandez. This is a
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: team that wants to run the football. He didn't run
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: it as effectively the last month and a half of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the season as they would have hoped. You just got
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: and held on him right guard. Let him figure it out, uh,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: and bolster that offensive line. I like that attitude. But
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: that's why not, you know, get a big maller in
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: there and uh, play some running football and play some
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: defense like this team really wants to do. So if
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: it gets to that, if they that's where I would
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: go with it. So that's the that's the point of
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: this draft. That's three different thoughts. There's certainly no consensus.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And the guy is this Okay, they're sitting there at
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: twenty nine. Somebody calls up says, hey, look, we'll give you,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you know, thirty five, thirty six, okay, maybe thirty seven,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: thirty eight, and then we're gonna give you an additional
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: third round pick. Do you take him? Oh? I don't know.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Depensers on the board. It's a big defens sitting there.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, maybe it's interesting. All right, Oh yeah,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I think about it. It is. I listen, but it
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: really depends for me. What if a guy slips For me,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I do it all day long, even if you're if
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: if a guy like Evans, is there somebody you could
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: use right away? Like that, that's what's in your five
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: to seven guys that they have ready to roll. But
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. I really believe this. I think in
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: every draft, and particularly this draft, that you always find
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: guys that you're excited about at twenty nine that you
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: would be excited about at thirty six, thirty seven, thirty eight.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, to pick up something that's
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: in you know, let's say the sixties seventy's, you know,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: an extra third round pick, I think you're crazy if
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: you were to turn down something like that. I'm not
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: saying that that's gonna happen, but I'm saying that that
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: that's a there's a chance of that happening because the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: bottom of the first round becomes coveted by those that
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: want to move up into the first round because they're
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: enamored with a guy. And I think teams get in
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: in big trouble when you become enamored with a guy.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: And so I think if you can garner more picks,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: like we were talking about, earlier to percentage game. Not
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: all picks work out. You take it where the Jags
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: have been the last few years, they've been at the
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: top of the second round a lot. Then they've you know,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: thought about moving up maybe, but it's never pulled the
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: trigger to do it. So it depends on the mentality
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: of the folks making that decision in the room. I
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised either that if this team ends
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: up picking up an edge rusher, you know, the kid
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: from Boston College or or wherever. The reason I say that,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: now you've got an aging class Gampbell, and you've also
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: got you know, a young player Dante Fowler. You're not
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: gonna pick up his office. We haven't talked about that.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think they pick up his option either though.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, at nine o'clock tonight, Jaguars Draft, try
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: to make it back. We'll see you here then. Thanks
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: for our entire crew. Come on out, come join us.
