  Speaker 3: Let's get into it. Let's recap it.

• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Bone Knicks.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: Six quarterbacks in the first dozen picks, Bone Nicks, you
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: have me six, all right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I gotta ask you and we'll start with you, Peter.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Which rookie quarterback situation is the most intriguing. I saw
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: a really funny thing on Twitter. It was a Sports
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Illustrated cover and it was people trying to side if
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Cam Newton, Jake Locker, or Blaine Gabbert were going to
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: be the guys. We put so much stock into these
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: rookie quarterbacks, so many expectations, especially when they're picked so
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: high in the first round. Which one stands out to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you the most.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Let's go from the back to the front on this one.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the twelfth overall pick in the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: last of the quarterbacks. No, that would be bone Nicks,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: who I had in my mock draft yesterday, going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos twelfth overall and got a lot of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: pushback saying, well they like him, sure, but they're gonna
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: trade back and they'll they'll move back and then they'll
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: get bon Nicks. I'll tell you this, Sean Payton was
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: not getting cute here. Sean Payton wanted bo Nicks, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: when he was still on the board at twelve, they
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: made the pick and they were happy with it. Here's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so many stories about combine visits and pro days and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Top thirty visits. Peyton wanted to test the metal of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Bo Nicks's ability to devise a game plan and be
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: able to comprehend what his offense was. When they had
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: their workout with bo Nicks the night before, they offered
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: him three different sheets of paper with a bunch of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: different concepts.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: They said, you can study this and then we're gonna
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: want to.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Quiz you on it. The next day, Nicks came.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: In and had it and was absolutely nails.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton talking to him last night, he said, look,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Shrake's he's the most accurate quarterback in college football history.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's what we're getting here. He's the guy that I
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: think I can run my offense with. And oh, by
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the way, we still have Zach Wilson, we still have
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Jared Stidham. It's going to obviously be an interesting room
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of young quarterback. I find it interesting that Nicks, who
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: played six years of college ball, started sixty one different
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: college games, and his most accurate quarterback, well, he's taken
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: twelfth overall, and people are like, they reach, they reached.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Look like we talked about with Pennix, if you need
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a quarterback, if you want a quarterback, it's really your
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: own value because it is by far the most important
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: position on a team. So they didn't trade back. They
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: take him at twelve. And I'll tell you the Broncos
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: are ecstatic to have bo Nix as their quarterback.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: It's very exciting to answer Wes. It's going to be
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: a rock and roll next year. Let's talk about Drake May.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Let's do it, because all we heard about was the
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Patriots may trade back.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: They may trade back, they may not do it, they
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: may go jj this. They took Drake May.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: There was a no doubt of the first three pictures
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: went bang, bang bang. You know what's so fun about
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: this time right now for us in the media is
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: we did a lot of crossover with ESPN.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: A lot of NFL Network, ESPN Love.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: I was watching Reheese Davis the other day, So Reece
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Davis is sitting out with Rich and Rich just says,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: you know what has your interest in the draft, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Rees Daevisuno is probably more about college football anybody alive, says,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: whoever drafts Drake May wins the draft.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: He is the guy. I've never seen anything like it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: He was doing backflips for Drake May, who, frankly, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: think in the context of this class has been a
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: little under celebrated because there's so many other shiny objects
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: that Patriot get Drake May and I think Peter, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: think they get him in this nice time for May.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Where's it's not post Brady, that's all over. This is
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: not Jay Field, liber Payson Marino is a fresh start,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: fresh coach. This is not the Belichick Patriots. It is
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: a huge, strong, corn fed athlete. Now the weapons are concerning,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: He's gonna walk in there, He's gonna have to dodge this,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: dodge that, or maybe Jacoby versettis play. I don't even know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: but I like that the Patriots made it desertively obviously,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: you said Sean Payton, Lake Boonick Rod Mayo liked Drake
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: May and they have a new quarterback in Foxborough.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: He's huge, he's strong, and.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: My favorite term this draft season has been big game hunter.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Do you think the Patriots need a little big game hunting?
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: They were shut out twice last year at home. We
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: got big game hunter in New England. I think it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: very exciting.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It is very exciting.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: Drake May is a guy that they fell in love
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: with and we're very comfortable taking him at three, assuming
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: that Jayden Dams were going second off the board, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: to your point, Kyle, I fully expect Jr. Kobe Brissett
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: to be the guy early on there in New England
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: as they continue to build that roster around the quarterback
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: position before Drake May gets his opportunity to get out
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: there and play. I'm looking sure you start all the
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: way at the end in Bowl Nicks. I'm going to
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: JJ McCarthy in Minnesota because this was a guy, a
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: prospect that we all talked about leading up to the
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: draft and there were so many questions about his production,
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: what he was actually do at Michigan.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Well, he's a.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Winner in tangible all of these things. Does that result
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in him.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Being a cold football quarterback that can go out there
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: and win you games. JJ McCarthy doesn't go in the
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: top five. He ends up going tenth to the Minnesota
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: FI because we move up just one spot to get
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: him there. For JJ McCarthy, you talk about intriguing situations,
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: how about getting drafted to the NFL and having Justin
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Jefferson on one side, Jordan Addison Hawkinson when he gets healthy,
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: and then oh yeah, we're going to bring in Aaron
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Jones at the running back spot.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But what he was able to do at Michigan.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Now you give him a team that's loaded with guys
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: on the offense and his play caller and Kevin O'Connell
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: is huge. And what I love when he got drafted
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: is listening to the phone call between him and Adophie
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: Mensa and also Kevin O'Connell talking about him becoming their
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: new quarterback. Yes, Sam Darnold's there, but a lot of
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: belief in JJ McCarthy. He told those coaches, I promise
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: you one thing. If you brought me there, we were
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: going to win. And that's what JJ McCarthy has represented.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Let's see if he can do it in Minnesota. Who's
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: the team and who's the quarterback that you're rolling with.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I love all of your picks, I mean Bo Nicks
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: when we talk about JJ McCarthy, Drake May, but I'm
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: going with Caleb Williams. I know that seems a little obvious, guys,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: but I'm going with him for a little bit of
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a different reason. Typically, when you're picking a guy number
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: one overall, he's coming in with not a lot of
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: things in the cupboard, right, Imagine this situation. Maybe you
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: guys can help me with a little bit of football
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: history here, but I can't think of a time where
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: you've seen a quarterback drafted number one overall walk into
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: with a guy like DeAndre Swift, Khalil Herbert, DJ Moore,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Keenan Allen Cole commit. He's not walking into a rebuild
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: like guys like Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Bryce Young, held
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: justin Field, Troy Aitman.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I have talked about this in years past.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: You know, he talked about how brutal his first two
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: years in Dallas. So while I's exciting it, imagine the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: pressure and expectations when you're in your own thoughts are overwhelming.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Most competitors will say they love it, but it is
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of pressure. I do like that. We heard
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: one of his responses was when it was you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: after you won the Heisman, after you know, you did
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: what you did with USC, after going number one and
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: overall in the draft, what is your next line of business?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And he said to get to know all of his teammates'
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: names and their family members. And so I think it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the right approach. It's the way to endear yourself to
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the locker room. But I am going to be really
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: interested to see how this plays out, because we should
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: all expect him to do great, but sometimes me and
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: those expectations are a little overwhelming.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: It's true. And listen, I feel like we haven't heard
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: from Bryce Young since last year. You know what I'm saying.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: We were we were covering the draft last year.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Same reaction.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's exciting we got him, but then what he
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: showed up for was very difficult. I think Jane makes
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: a great point that this.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Is not some terrible reth of talent bears teams like
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Caleb walks in and let's drive this thing now. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: have a lot of thoughts personally and what Caleb means
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: to Chicago.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: He shows up in a loaded huddle, just ready to rock.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And roll real quick. We started the show with Pennix,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: where we've talked a lot about Pennix might have been
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a shocking pick of all, but he's probably not going
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to see the field right away. A lot of these
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: guys and you know they're gonna have to figure it out,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and Drake may is gonna probably wait behind their trade.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: But like bow Knicks could win that job.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: He has played sixty one college games and basically should
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: have been a four year player in the NFL already,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and I think it's the same age Aszach Wilson, Like
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be expectation for all of these guys. Caleb
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Williams right out of the shoot, like you're starting day one,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: let's go.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: We think, Jen, he's got to be out there and
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: it's going to be so much fun to watch.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And Jane, you said it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: He talked about caring about the people that are going
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: to be in that organization.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: But he also got Rollma Dunes.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: They had Nomber nine, and we talked about what they
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: were going to go and what they were going to do.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: They got another receiver for him to go alongside what
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: we talked about in Keenan Allen and Dj Moore. So
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: it doesn't get any better than that. And you talk
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: about in the first round, we said six quarterbacks go
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: in the first twelve picks. All six of them aren't
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: going to be fantastic football players, hall of famers and.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: All of that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: So it's really hard to say, all right, this guy's
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: going to be successful.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: We have no idea what's going to happen.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: But at the same time, it's awesome to see Caleb
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: Williams in the situation that he's walking into and the
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: weapons that he's going to have around him, and a
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: Bear team that caught fire later in the season whose
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: defense was absolutely rolling as well.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I look at it this with Caleb and it's like
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you've got to do and today. But you also add
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: in Keenan Allen, which you mentioned, you have DJ Moore,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you have all this stuff, that situation in the NFC
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: North for Caleb. If it doesn't succeed, like they're gonna
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: be expectations. This isn't one of those where's Bryce Young
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and they are right Carolina Chicago Bears. So to me,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: this is all those solid It's not going to be easy.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: You can't have like the starter season where you're like
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: six and eleven. I will say this though, seven and
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: five last year at USC, like that might have been
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: the best thing for Caleb and this whole pre draft
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: process where people were tearing him down a bit, because
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: I almost would rather have a quarterback who's been through
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: a little bit adversity like Michael Pennix with the knees
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: and the whole like, Okay, he's been there.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. We could do flips and everything twenty seven
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and one, has never lost the game. It's been this thing, smile,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: the Michigan man, the whole thing. He's never had that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: seven and five season. He's never had that that brutal
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: have to overcome. So all these guy situations are interesting,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and for Caleb Bllliams think the best thing that might
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: have happened was a seven and five season last year
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: where people were trashing them throughout the entire campaign.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: And it's what we do.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: We will always compare JJ and Caleb, same draft class,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: same division, but.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: At least twice a year. That's just what we do.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Ten years from no, I'll be like, man, that guy
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: really won that one.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Maybe it's JJ. I don't know, But right now the
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: Caleb thing's very exciting. The video of him and a
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: Duneese like really cool.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: That could be all timer or it could be all
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: time freezing cold takes. We don't know, but we have it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: We're gonna be seeing that for years.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I know it's hard for you and our boy, big Cat.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: You guys are long suffering Bears fans. Matt Eberflus and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Ryan Poles have really been through it. But now there's
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: this excitement we saw I mean, I don't know if
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: you guys saw the mock ups for the new stadium
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: right there on the lake with that incredible view of downtown.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: My brother lives in Chicago, so I got a free
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: place to say to go check those things out. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: it's so fun to see some optimism around that team.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: You know what market. So I can't hide money.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I can't hide mine because I don't have any guys.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: It's like, where are they going to park at that stadium?
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: It's like, well, there's boat docks right there.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: My brother's yat off.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: We're good.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I wish morning.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Every year we go through and it's called the Frenzy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I like to hashtag my tweets regn zy. And there's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a flury of moves and sometimes you're like, so many
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: moves are happening at once, how do I keep track?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Some moves on paper, you say, that's great, they don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: work out. Others they do. I am gonna go position
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: by position in some key spots and give you my
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: free agent all fit team. What's that mean? The players
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: who I think landed in the perfect spots. And I'm
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: gonna start with the quarterback position. My best fit for
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: any of the free agent quarterbacks. Is a guy who's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: going back to where he played last year. I think
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield staying put in Tampa Bay is a home run.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: This was awesome. Last year, the Buccaneers had no expectations.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: It was the post Tom Brady era. Mike Evans was
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: saying before the season, he's done negotiating, He'll be somewhere
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: else at the end of the season. And yet Baker
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Mayfield comes in and completely turns things around. They started
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: out red hot. They beat the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: in Week one. Then they went through a loll They
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: lost a bunch of games in a row, like the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: bloom was off the rose. And then Baker found a
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: way to get to that second gear and get them
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: not only in the playoffs, but then to win a
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: playoff game. Baker Mayfield an awesome Tampa Bay buccaneer. He
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: fits the culture of the team perfectly. He's got all
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the weapons around him with Godwin and Evans and the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: young running back for Shad White, and he goes back
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to where he belongs. I said this earlier on. There
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: was a real chance that Baker was going somewhere else.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: There were some hairy moments in these negotiations where Baker said,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I want to test my market on on the value
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: on the market. I want to see what I'm worth,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and if you're not going to pay me x, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: might entertain those offers. Well. Right before the start of
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the legal tampering window, the Buccaneers made sure to keep
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: their guy in Tampa. I love this fit for Baker,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I love this fit for the Buccaneers. I'm so happy
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: that it continues for at least the next couple of years.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Quarterback best fit out of all these signings is the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: guy who went back to where he was. It's Baker Mayfield.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Next up is the running back position. This one week,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: give me Derek Henry Lamar Jackson in a back up.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I know this is gonna work. I know this is
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: gonna be sensational. And I thought on Monday it was
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: wild running back going here, running back going here, running
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: back going there, And then on Tuesday I think this
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: is such an awesome fit. I think it's the team.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's the culture of that team. I also
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: think it's the city. This is a team that has
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: gotten so close the last few years. The Baltimore Ravens
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: they were the hottest team in football in nineteen. This
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: guy crushed their dreams. We go back four years later,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they get back to the Big Dance. They win their
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: playoff game against Houston. They then host the Chiefs and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: they completely abandon the run in the second half. Are
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: they abandoning the run? If this guy's at running back,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure. I love Derek Henry as a player.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I think he's a future Hall of Famer. I really
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: do think he's the best running back of his generation.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And you might say, yeah, well look at McCaffrey. Now, yeah, McCaffrey,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Now you're talking about since twenty eighteen, this guy has
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: been putting a big season after big season, and does
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: he still have anything left in the tank. Last year,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: in the final game of the Titan season, next Gen
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: stats clocked this guy. He had a run that was
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: twenty two miles per hour. Still go, He could still move,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and he can still give you that stiff arm right
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to the face. I love this look. Sakwan goes to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the Eagles, We'll see Tony Poller to the Titans, We'll
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: see I love this fit. And if Derrick Henry can
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: get a Super Bowl ring with Lamar Jackson by his side.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: How cool would that be for one of the greatest
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: running backs of all Peter? How great is it gonna be?
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: The team intros in Baltimore? Like, I think you just
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: sent Lamar and Derek out of the tunnel and that's it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Like close, let's go, Let's go down to the offensive line.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Jonah Jackson signing with the La Rams is my call.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I love this dude right here, big boy number seventy
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: three goes to the raisbies. Like, who's Jonah Jackson? Is
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: just a wall, just an enormous offensive guard. And I
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: was talking to the Rams guys after the signing was announced.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Here's the deal. It's his fifth NFL season, all right.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: He's six ' four, three hundred and twenty pounds. He
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: gave up just two total sacks his last two years.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And they have him on one side, and they've got
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Dots in the other guard who they got from Pittsburgh
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: on the other. And with the center, that's a thousand
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: pounds of just giant men ready to maul and create
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: holes for Kieren Williams. And oh yeah, by the way,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: keeping Matthew Stafford up straight. Jonah Jackson had a big market.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: He chooses to go to the Rams, not a household name,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and yet you look what the Lion's success was. A
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: lot of that had to do with not only Pinney Sewell,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: not only to do with Taylor Decker, but the guys inside.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Jonah Jackson was amazing last year for them. It's been
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a very good Lion. He's had some injuries at times,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: but I think with the Rams you're gonna see immediate results.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I love the fit. Just keep Matthew Stafford upright and
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: give the Rams a chance to breathe. All right, next position,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: we're going defense, and I'm going the best fit for
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: all the defensive line inside guys is going to be
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Christian Wilkins to the Raiders. I said it yesterday. Has
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: ever been a more Raiders signing than Christian Wilkins. Antonio
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Pierce comes out, He's like, we're going back to the Raiders' way.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: We're going back to Al Davis. Might have to go
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: back to some things that you know, might be a
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: little bit unsavory at times for our opponents. Well guess
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: what that is? What he's all about. He's a tremendous player,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Don't get it wrong. He is a tremendous player. He's
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: also a tremendous agitator. He loves getting under your skin.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen's spoken about it. Plenty of people who have
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: been in this building on our show have talked about it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: It is a pain in the butt to face Christian Wilkins.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And then he's going to do something afterwards, some extracurriculars
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: to get in your head. He Max Crosby, Tyree Wilson.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: We're talking. You've got the big boy inside. You've got
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: all of these guys that are coming together, and all
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, the Raiders defensive line is one of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the best in football. Love what the Raiders did. And Jason,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you so smartly mentioned this yesterday. He goes to Vegas
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and you're like, all right, took the money. He goes
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to Vegas. I guess no. His best season was with
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Patrick Graham as his defensive coordinator in Miami. There's a
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: familiarity there. Patrick Graham is now the defensive coordinator in Vegas.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I love the fit. Christian Wilkins. Congratulations, he got paid
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and I think he went to the perfect place. All right,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So that's the How about d M? How about off
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: the Edge?
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: What you got.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: How about our guy, Brian Burns. I gotta say I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: went big yesterday. Giants fans are like hitting me up,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like really, really, Brian burg You're talking about Brian Burns
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: like he was Lawrence Taylor. I got, maybe I went
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a little overboard, but you see some of the moves
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: that Brian Burns has off the edge, and the fact
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that he's only twenty five years old, and now you
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: say you're putting him on a defense with Thibodeau on
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: one side, with Dexter Lawrence in the middle, and the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: opportunities are endless. Brian Burns to the Giants a fantastic fit.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Brian Burns fits that New York Giants mantra of let's
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: stop the run, let's get to the quarterback, let's run
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the ball, and let's win some football games in the trenches.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: They've gotten away from that in recent years. Burns brings
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: that there's been footage online. Go on your Twitter and
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: go on Instagram Burns' spin moves. This guy is a technician.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: And again I mentioned this, he is only twenty five
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: years old. I thought this was a major bargain what
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: they got him for a second and a fifth and yes,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: they paid him the money, but to me for what
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the Rams were offering to get Brian Burns a couple
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: of years ago, and now for what the Giants got
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: him for. Hey, don't blame him for Carolina struggles. The
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: last two seasons. That team has been an absolute mess.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Brian Burns, he has never said a bad word about
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: that franchise and he has been awesome. Bring him to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the Big Apple. Let's see him do some work, all right, now,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the linebacker spot. And after all that rumors of like
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: is he going to Seattle where he's gonna be with
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald Patrick Queen signs with the Steelers, really, really
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the Steelers and I kind of like it. You're not
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: gonna pay me, put me on the franchise tag, all
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: this stuff. Let me go to our arch rivals and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: let me face you two times a year. But beyond that,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to be able to play with not only TJ. Watt,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: but to play with high Smith as well. And now
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: you put him in the middle. And there's such a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: rich tradition of middle linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: go through the years, whether it be the Lambert and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Ham era or even recently with Levon Kirkland and Jason
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Gilden and all those guys in the linebacker position. There
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: is such a rich tradition of great linebacker play in Pittsburgh.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Patrick Queen so happy for him. He finally gets paid
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: and he gets his respect. Guys, I go to you
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: at the table. It's my all fit team. Guys that
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: just made sense and teams that made sense for them.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: And you start out that quarterback position. Baker Mayfield, he
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: stays home. Now, Kirk Cousins, he joins the division. I'm
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: fascinated to see which team comes out of that division
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: for the playoff. Those two are going to match up
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: twice a year. I can't wait to see those two.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: All agitator team might go to the Raiders defensively, it
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: is a little terrifying to consider the Tyrie Wilson. Is
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: it kind of a blank slate when it comes to
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: the NFL. Yet now the people that are influencing his
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: behavior in the field are Caryland Wilkins at Max Crosby.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: My god, yeah, and the guy inside is that guy
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Kootz who I doesn't watch. Was a mixed up last year.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: He showed up. They're super excited guys. All fit team.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I love all of these fits for which one of
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: these is a very good job. We appreciate it. Good
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: morning football,
