• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to do this to you. So we

  Speaker 1: just had a barbecue feast. And if I sound fatigued,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like I just went ten rounds with Tyson.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. So there's a barbecue place in Kansas City. Okay,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: first of all, Kansas City, everyone's got the barbecue place, like,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you gotta go to this one.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You gotta go to this one.

  Speaker 1: Go to Kansasity. Oh, you gotta try this. There is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a place in Kansas City called Joe's at Joe's Case
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and they are known for this legendary sandwich called the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: z Man. Everybody has their barbecue place. Everyone says, you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: gotta go here, here, I go to the top. Paul
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Rudd told me, yep, name drop. Paul Rubb told me,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: when you get to Kansas City, wait in line at
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this gas station called Joe's Kansas City Barbecue. They have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: something called a z Man sandwich. I said done. Followed
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: them on Twitter, said we're coming. You can you set
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: us up with the z Man. Sure enough, our guys
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Sean here, from iHeart, we got Chason English here, from iHeart,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: we got you. We all were given the amazing experience
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of the z Man sandwich. But we also got some
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: mac and cheese. We also got some baked beans. We
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: also got some pork ribs, some brands. This is all
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: before we went to work today, Like, so this is
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just we went all right, So let's talk about the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: z Man before we even get into the draft. Sorry,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: if you're listening again, fast forward, like Mark Marin, Just
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: fast forward through all the crap I say in the monologue.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: No one cares. Here we go. It's a.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Wrong but like lightly buttered, yep, toasted, lightly buttered.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Lightly buttered. Onion rings piping hot onions.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Very crunchy, incredible texture.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, trovolone cheese melted okay. And then the beautiful stuff.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Burnt and the brisket. The sandwich is the beef brisket
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and corrected beef brisket slices folded on top of each other.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's a beautiful medley. I feel like Alison Roman here.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to explain all of this.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Two pickles on the side. You put them in if
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you want to put them, of course, of course you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: put them in, yep.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And then there's a sauce called the Night of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Living Sauce, and it's a hot, spicy barbecue sauce and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it's soaked in that had this in about thirteen seconds
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: down it I'm staring at a second one right now,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm debating whether I should go for.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: It, and this the hot sauce is surprisingly hot. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: was expecting it to like have a little kick. It's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: got some kick, got some real kick. And the regular
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: barbecue sauce just a good compliment. I had both of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: them on mine a little bit. I first put the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: regular on to see how that was, and then I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: dipped it in the spicy one and was like, yes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: goes on the sandwich. It's incredible.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Beauty of this place is that it's it's a gas
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: station and it's got two working pumps still, and you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: go and there's a line around the corner. Show went
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and picked it up for us and said, at you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it's seven o'clock and line up the corner. Rudd has
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: told me that he comes for Chiefs games. He'll fly
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in and on a Saturday afternoon they'll go. And he's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Paul Ruddy. He's really famous. He was in such hits
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: as twenty one Cigarettes and plenty of other movies that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you've heard of. And he said, it's like one hundred
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: people deep and everyone's just festive and great, and then
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you get the z man. That's what you get there.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: So I put it on Twitter that we were having
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the z Man, and I would say the response. Sometimes
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I break NFL news, I'm like, hey, this guy's signing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: with this team, or this player is injured out for
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the game, and there's a tepid response. They're like, okay,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: great retweet, Okay, let's go, everyone aggregate it. Fine. The
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: response has been so passionate over a mere picture of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the z Man that I feel like I've been missing
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: something in the first forty years of my life.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should have been reviewing sandwiches this whole time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a job, sounds great. Maybe it's this,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And I feel like everyone probably in the podcast world
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: has pitched this, and you guys work for iHeart, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I can imagine someone walks in, like, all right, so
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it's hot ones, but instead of it being hot sauce,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it's barbecue. And each different question gets a little bit
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: more personal, a little deeper, and you also have to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: eat like a burnt end and then a rib and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: then pulled pork, and then you know, you go right
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: down the list.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I haven't personally received that pitch. I do know that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that pitch is not uncommon.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And they don't realize that Sean Evans himself is an
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: incredible interviewer, and that a lot of these people that
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: do his show. And I thought the Karen Kulkan one
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was great. This is now just a commercial for hot ones.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And then I saw the Jake Jillenhl Died one. It
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: was great. He's a great interviewer and the celebrities like
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: being interviewed by him. It's not because they like the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hot sauce.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Even you also mentioned before we leave the food portion.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, So I am particular like I think
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the z man is to force a football comparison here,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the z Man is your quarterback. I thought the ribs
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: were like the ribs were Bejon the ribs, the texture
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: they have this sauce and when it's cooked it's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: little crispy on the outside and a little sweetness too.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And I want to make the sweetest love basically we're
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: talking about me too.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: The ribs were so good, love ribs and this was
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a great set of ribs, great culinary experience.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, Also, is this our first You and Me show
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: on the road road. We're in Kansas City, folks, it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: alive hotels bumping. I got here, check in. I see
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Susie Colber'm like, what's up, Sue's how you doing. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: get on the elevator. Desmond Howard's there. He tells me
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he's a fan of the show. I said, guess what,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: love what you do? Love the Hivesman pos Also, what
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you guys have been doing on game day for the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: last one hundred years is kind of what we try
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to embody on Good Morning Football. He was very complimentary.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I was very complimentary. That's the draft. Everyone's in a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: good mood. No one said they didn't like our show,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and nobody had anything nasty to say about the z Man.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We all enjoy it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course, all.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Right now, if you're listening, as we said, I'd suggest
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: either a putting this in like the archive for after
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the draft to see how well we did in talking
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: about it. Or b use this as your before draft
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: drive home, drive to work, whatever it is, your workout.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Even if this posts tonight and you wake up early
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in the morning and it's your commute on the subway
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in whatever it is, this is your ultimate primer before
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what I And this is not me copping out like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I went on McAfee show and he's like, don't you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: dare start pulling one of these, and I'm like, this
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is the most unpredictable draft. It's not the best draft.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if any of these guys are going
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to be all pros. It's not the best draft. It's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not the deepest draft. It's not the greatest draft. It's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the most unpredictable draft because of exactly that point. There
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: are so many teams up top who have so many needs.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: There are teams with multiple picks. It means they could
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be a little creative. There are a lot of teams
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: who want to trade. I know there are a lot
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of teams that are not interested in any of these quarterbacks,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and you'd have needs at quarterback. So I just think
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be really interesting draft in that TV wise
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: like it. I would say it's going to be a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lot of drama and there's going to be quite a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: bit of surprises, and I like that more than necessarily
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: just a chalk draft, which has been several times in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the last few years where it's like the top ten.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I think I nailed the top ten pick right pick
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: last year, except for one of them. Maybe I got
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: wrong with like the wide receivers. I think I had
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Drake London and Garrett Wilson switched with the Jets, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like to go nine to ten on the first ten
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: picks is pretty good this year. I could tell you
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: confidently I just clicked send on my mock draft, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I might have one or two that I feel confident about.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And last night, if we could show the phone, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: would I'd say I spoke to twenty general managers over
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the course of like a five hour span, and the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: rules of this with that, I don't want to know
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: who you're picking. Let's gossip, Let's hear what you think.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'll go through the players. Tell me your thoughts, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: if hypothetically these five guys are on the board, who
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: would you take? And then a lot of times it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, go go at yourself. I'm not telling you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to take. But here's that guy's too high.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: That guy should be gone. Actually Atlanta needs this, And
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: if you know the history of what they do, it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: all really interesting. I think that's a show in itself.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Last night, me trying to get to the answers and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: getting no conclusions. Let's go through ten points I want
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to make about this draft. Let's put some snazzy music
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like drum roll or something, or maybe maybe like a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: what was the show the Weakest Lang?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big noise A Millionaire?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Is that a show who wants to be a Millionaire?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I think that's the name? Yes, yeah, yeah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: All right, so google that, get that going. We're going
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to get that sound chime going. And here are ten
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: things I believe the day before the draft, after feasting
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on a Joe's from Joe's case in Kansas City, Joe's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: case in Kansas City, and feeling mildly drunk on barbecue
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: right now, I've got that, like not meat sweats, but
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: like that post Thanksgiving, Like all right, here we go.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Number one. I think the top ten will break this way.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Three quarterbacks selected. Those quarterbacks being in no particular order,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young, c. J. Stroud, Will Levis, three defensive linemen
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: being selected in no particular order, Will Anderson, Tyree Wilson,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, two cornerbacks selected in no particular order, Devin
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Weatherspoon and Christian Gonzales. And two offensive linemen selected in
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: no particular order, Paris Johnson Junior and Peter Scornsky. Number
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: two two. Two running backs will go in the first round,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: but they will not be selected until the twenties, meaning
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: v Jon Robinson, who is the number two overall player
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: on just about every team's board, is going to fall
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: into the twenties. I talked to everyone yesterday. Everyone loves Jon,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: everyone wants b Jeon Robinson. Everyone believes b Jeon Robinson
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: is going to be a top running back in the league.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: To a man, I could not find a team in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the top twenty who would say they would select him.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So let's go through the usual suspects that people have
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: been attaching him to the Falcons. I think they're going defense, folks.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I think they're going either the corner and that might
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: be Weatherspoon or Gonzales, or they're gonna end up taking
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: whatever defensive lineman is still on the board, and that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: could be Tyree Wilson, it could potentially be Jalen Carter,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it could potentially be Will Anderson if something happens. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: also think Atlanta could trade up if one of those
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: three defensive linemen starts turning down, and then I think
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Atlanta could trade back. I would be shocked if Atlanta
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: took Jehn Robinson eighth overall. So then let's go through
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the rest of the teams. Texans have the twelfth pick.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the Texans taken well, they have Damian Pierce,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: who was basically a stud back. They have a million
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: other needs. One thing they don't need is running back.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Jets have Breisee Hall, Packers have Aaron Jones and aj Dillon.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Steelers drafted Naji Harris in the first round. I've seen
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Philly at ten. It would go really, really, really against
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: what he's done in the past. I have them taking
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Peter Scarnsky, the most boring pick in the world for
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a team that everyone thinks is gonna take some huge swing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think they take an offensive lineman who could play
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: guard tackle at a Northwestern and Jeff Stoutlind, who's the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: offensive line coach, just gets another big dog to keep
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that thing going where they just replenish and replenish and replenish.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think Howie takes Bjeon Robinson tenth. Overall, I've
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: had it my mock the last you know, the first
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: mock draft, and I did a live mock draft with
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Joel Klatt. I put him there. I did a live
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: mock draft with Daniel Deremiya. I want him on Philly.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I think that'd be awesome, it'd be fun, it'd be great.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They'd get him over the hump whole thing. But the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: more I dig into this thing, the more I think
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it's either going to be a defensive lineman. I know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: like if if Jalen Carter's there a corner, if one
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of the two corners is there, Gonzales or Wetherspoon, And
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: then if not, I think it's it's either Paris Johnson
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: or Peter Skearnsky whichever tackles left. Gosh, if you're expecting
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Bjohn Robinson and you get Peter Scarronski, it's like two
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: totally different types of you know, decisions. But that's the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: beauty of it. So what about the Buccaneers at nineteen
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: They just lost Leonard Fournette for Shot White. They like
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and they have a lot of needs. I don't have
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: them taking running back. You start going through it. Twenty Seahawks,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Well they took Kenneth Walker. If you have a couple
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of trades in be there and maybe it's not them anymore.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is, I have the twenty third pick. The
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings with Dalvin Cook on the roster, taking Bjeon
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Robinson twenty third, and the thought being he's just too good.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Let's just get another weapon. We would have an awesome offense.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And this guy with Dalvin Cook and Dalvin's contract, he
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: just signed a new extension, but like, all right, let's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: just get better. And then I've got an even crazier one.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Two picks later, I have the New York Giants ticking
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs, which would cause an earthquake in New York
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: because of the Saquon Barkley situation. In short, my theory is,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: as the Giants, I know some things about that organization.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: If you listen, you know I'm tied in with a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: lot of those guys. The Saquon thing is not in
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a great place right now. They offered him a nice,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: big contract extension before the season was over in the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: bye week. He said no, thank you. He said, let's
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: roll into the free agency. They offered him another one
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in fregency. He didn't accept, and then he got the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: franchise tag at ten million, and he's not happy with it,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to play on that. There trying to negotiate,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: but I don't think he's getting the same contract he
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: was offered during the bye week, So with that in
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the background, and also the Giants being pretty good at
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: wide receiver, maybe a tight end if Michael Mayer falls
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to them or Kinkaid falls to them. But gosh, Gibbs
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is a lightning rod and would be an amazing addition
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to this team. And I'm just here for the chaos.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So I've got twenty three and twenty five in my draft,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson falling, and then the shocker, the New York
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Giants going running back if he's on the board.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Do you think that Gibbs is going in the twenties
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: because a team really wants Bijon can't get him and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: then pivot to Gibbs or are they looking because they're
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: very different players. Gibbs is so much more of a
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: pass catcher. Do you think they're looking specifically for his
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: skill set?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think he is not the Bijon backup. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: think this guy is unique in his own right and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: does things completely different and might be even more valuable
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to a team than your traditional three down back and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Bjon Robinson. Here are the comparisons. If you want, I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: asked a GM yesterday. I said, give it me give
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: me the two days Edger and James is v Jon Robinson,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: which is like an awesome Hall of Fame running back,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and Jamal Charles is Jamiir Gibbs. So that's classic take,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: but like two basically tame, two different positions all together.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And if the Giants added Jamiir Gibbs and got somehow
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Sequon to play this year under the con I mean
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that's fun. Those are my two running backs. I don't
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: think a third is taken. I've seen a lot of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: people say that there will be one taken, and it'll
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: be you know, and gives the reach. I think he
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: goes in the first number three. I've heard from everyone
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that there is no stud receiver in this draft. There
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: is no Calvin Johnson, there's no Jamar Chase.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Even last year those guys were guess what three receivers
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: are going to go? And that will in a twenty range.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith Njigba has gotten a lot of love. I've
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: was on the phone with all these gms last night.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: They all say, to a man, these guys aren't gonna
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: last past the twenties. And there's three of them. Jackson
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Smithnjigba Jordan Addison. All right, if you're listening to this
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: podcast tomorrow when something crazy happens and Jordan Addison is
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: either taken like eleventh overall by the Titans or a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: team trades up and takes them twelfth overall, and you're googling,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: who the hell is Jordan Adison? I have not seen
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that name. I think no player has a delta of
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: amount of teams that view this guy in a certain way,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: as opposed to how the national media has talked about
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: in the mock drafts and all the thing. I've see
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Addison falling out of the first round in some of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: these mock drafts, going late first, I think Addison doesn't
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't leave the top twenty. And I also think Zay
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Flowers goes in the top twenty. So I think all
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: three of those guys go in the top twenty. In
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: my mock draft. I've got Smith Nijigba going thirteen to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, Zave Flowers fourteen to the Patriots.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Oh Patriots. I've gotten a lot of intel the Patriots
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: like any points, and I don't think I'm the Belichick
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: is considered the king in that building. Robert Craft wants
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: an actually does not like being irrelevant and doesn't like
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: being mediocre. So Zay Flowers local product. One of thirteen.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: He has thirteen siblings. He is one of fourteen.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: One of fourteen. I think he's the eleventh. I believe fourteen. Yes,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale guy who played at BC had a chance
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to transfer state at BC, like was their entire offense.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Awesome guy, great kid. We had him on the Good
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Morning Football Show. I think he goes fourteen to the Patriots,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and then Addison's your wild card. I'm talking right after
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: like ten. Addison could go anywhere from twelve to the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Texans or I have him currently in a weird trade
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and I'll explain to my mock draft, but I've got
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: him actually going to the Houston Texans. But with the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: twentieth pick, I know, I kind of cheated a little bit,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know where to put Anthony rich
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: but I want them on Seattle, so I'm gonna have
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: them trade up to twelve from twenty and then just
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: be like, well, that's a fake trade that I made up.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It was kind of cheating, but I think the Texans
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: might need a receiver as much as they need a
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: quarterback in this draft, and Addison is going to go
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the top twenty. There's a bunch of teams
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: from like twenty to thirty. I'd say twenty to fifty
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: ars because he also the Dolphins in the rams, Like,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: there's all these teams that like Addison, not tying them
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to either one of those teams. It's kind of like
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the cutoff point. You've got these three receivers and there
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it might be a bit of a dip. And then
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: it's guys like Jalen Hyatt and Quentin Johnson. So if
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a team wants a receiver, you might have to go
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: up and get them. So I would say this, Jordan
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Addison is an interesting prospect in tomorrow's draft. Keep an
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: eye on him either A going really early or b
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: one of the teams in the twenties. You know who
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: needs a receiver, whether it's Kansas City or whether it's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Buffalo moving up to go get Jordan Addison. Have we
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: spoken enough about Jordan Addam.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm as a Bills fan, I'm
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: kind of hoping that you want that he winds up there.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I know that I'm trying to be impartial about it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: So we can move on from Jordan Adison if you want.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: But if they take them, we'll talk about them next week.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right. Next thing I had as my
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: fourth point, more about the Eagles, but just so I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: talked to folks in that building, and we've had Jamal Singleton,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: their running backs coach, on we'll get more. I just
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: think they do things in a really unique way in
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: They build from the inside out, and they really value
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: their offensive line and defensive line. And this draft the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: way it's trickling, I think one of those big offensive
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: linemen is going to be there, and I'll put Broderick
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Jones in the same conversation with Paris Johnson and Scaronsky.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I gave him Scoronsky. Look, if it ends up being Bijon, great,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: If it ends up being one of the pass rushers
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Carter still on the board, or they go
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and they get Nolan Smith, and so they get one
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: of the corners like they've done all that in the past,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: they've done they draft I just with the age on
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that offensive line and with some movement going on, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: they didn't address it in free agency. I'm going offensive
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: line for the Eagles, and then they have the thirtieth pick,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and I have them going a corner with the thirtieth pick.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I have him taken Joey Porter Junior, who's that's a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: little later than most people have him going. Oh, people
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: have him going into teens in the early twenties. Again,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: it's semantics. Just the way my draft worked out. I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: have nothing against him. I have Joey Porter Junior and
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Peter Scarnsky, two big ten players, one of them a corner,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: one of them a giant offensive tackle, are offensive guard
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: going to the Eagles. So Eagles fans no running back
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: but a corner and a big lineman, and they continue
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: just to load up at positions of strength. Number five,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think the Lions are going Devin Witherspoon at six,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and that's even if Tyree Wilson or Jalen Carter or
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: one of the quarterbacks is on the board. I the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: more I talk to people around the league, and again
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I have to preface it with this, teams don't tell
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: me who they're taking, but they sort of have friends
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: who work at those teams and they go on the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Pro day visits and they're all there and there's like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: it's not group think, but if a team really likes
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a player, it can get out. When you've got fifty
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: people in a building and the draft room comes out, Now,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: do we know who they're going to take?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: No.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Usually the GM and the head coach will keep that
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: close to the vest. The owner usually has an input.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: But I keep on hearing Weatherspoon at six to the Lions,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: which would be interesting. He's one hundred and eighty pounds,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: didn't play a ton of football as a kid. I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: think he started playing when he was a junior in
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: high school. But he tackles, he's tough, and someone said
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: he's like, he's Aaron Glenn two point oh. Aaron Glen's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: our defensive coordinator. And Dan Campbell like those guys. They
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: want tough, hard nosed. They just traded away Jeff Akuda,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: who is a former third overall pick from a previous regime.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that Tyree Wilson or Jalen
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Carter is there. I think there's a chance one of
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks is there. And I still think they'll
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: just kind of say, let's go with Weatherspoon. So tomorrow
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: if they don't go Wetherspoon, consider me surprised. That's just
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the read I get from everyone around the league. Number six,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I think we definitely have two tight ends going in
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: this first round, and they're very different. Dalton Kincaid has
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of fans in this league. He's not a
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: big blocking tight end. He is a receiving tight end,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but like an athletic freak. If you're giving like the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: greatest compliments to guys, he's your Kelsey, all right. And
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the other guy's Michael Mayer at a Notre Dame and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: oh if you're giving a conduct comp to him, like
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I know, this isn't as great as that, but he's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: your Heath Miller where it's like great blocker catches reliable,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you know exactly where's me. He's from Notre Dame. You
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: could plug him right away. Those two guys are definitely
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: gonna go. I don't think Darnell Washington, the tight end
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: from Georgia, is gonna go in the first round. I've
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: seen him go in a lot of places. I do
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: think there's a guy out of Iowa named Sam Laporta,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and I've heard he's got a lot of fans at
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the end of the first round. So if Dallas or
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: New Orleans are two teams to watch. Again, this is
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: deep cut NFL draft stuff. If you are running on
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a treadmill right now and you're like, uh, okay, I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: think I'm drafted out. When we're talking about Sam Laporta
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: draft stock, but don't be shocked if he goes in
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the first round or very early in the second. I'd
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: say there's a seventy percent chance he has taken at
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the end of the first round. Sam Laporta, who Aaron
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: comes out of Iowa and those guys. It's George Kittle,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it's obviously daw White Clark, it's Noah Fan, It's Hockinson.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Like there's just one after another, after another after another,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and he's the next one.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: This is a great tight end class.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: It's a great tight end.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Lots of weapons, lots of good blocking options. And I
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: think that's the fun thing about Kinkaid and Mayor. Kincaid
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: is like such a pass catching option and so he's
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: not the as Michael Mayor for whoever is this Yeah,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: which is a fun thing.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I've got. If you're listening at home and you're looking
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: like Okay, well, where Washington going with Kinkaid. I thought
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Washington could be in the market for a quarterback, especially
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: if Hendon Hooker like started slipping. I was told that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: they are all in on Sam Howell, who was a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: fifth round pick last year, but like, they're not looking
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: at it, and I thought, okay, well, new owner probably
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: coming in. Maybe you buy yourself some time you draft
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, you say, well, we've got this quarterback, we're
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: groom and give us a chance. No, I heard they
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: like Howell, so give him another weapon. Dal Kin Kid
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: at sixteen. Then Mayor. I know the it is true
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that the Giants like Mayor. I know it's very true
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys like Mayor. If he's there for either one
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of those teams, I think he might be the pick.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But I think he's gone by then. I've got the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers taking Michael Mayer at twenty one, justin
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Herbert gets another guy, so tight end those two names.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Enjoy that. I think I think they'll both go in
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the first round, and they both will go in the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: top twenty five.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: It would be really fun if if the Commanders took
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Kincaid yep with Eric the enemy. Yeah, from Kelse. I mean,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: like that would just be a fun thing to start
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: thinking about Dick.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I like that. That's good. Number seven Miles Murphy out
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of Clemson. I have not seen him in many top twenties.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: He was a guy that I think everyone was excited
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to see at the Combine and kind of faded off
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I've heard now Miles Murphy's got a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: ton of buzz. This is how the NFL draft goes.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: You finished a college season, everyone's like Miles Murphy, Miles Murphy,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Miles Murphy, Clemson studies in these huge games, and then
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: everyone else hypes up everyone else, and then we all
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: get into a tissy about these guys we didn't watch
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in college who are at smaller schools, and then by
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the end of time the draft comes in, It's like, oh,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Miles Murphy's gonna go higher than everyone's talking about. So
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I have him going in the top twenty in my
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: mock draft. I've heard he can go as high as
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: thirteen to Green Bay. I think he ends up going
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: around eighteen to Detroit if they keep their pick. Detroit
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: could be a trade back team. In my mock draft,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I have Miles Murphy going eighteen. I think he's a
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: first round pick. I think he might be a top
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: twenty pick. I think he might go before Nolan Smith,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: who everyone fell in love with, but is at the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it's two hundred and thirty pounds
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and it's hard to look at a pass rusher or
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: twitter and thirty pounds. Even if some of these guys
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: like a Son Reddick were having such great success, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: think your more traditional pass rusher is Miles Murphy, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I think he might get taken before the New York Jets.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I have spoken to people that I trusted the New
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: York Jets. They are over the moon right now about
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Today was the press conference, and I talked
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: to all those guys and it's, you know, draft unrelated.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's so secondary right now. When I was texting him,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: but spoke to Hackett, spoke to Sala, texted both of
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: those guys. Didn't get him on the phone. They're like,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: it was just awesome. Today was awesome, Like everyone was
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: excited and it's maybe the best day they're going to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: have as now you have to actually do something and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: go in But like the press conference amazing, And I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: thought Rogers absolutely won the press conference. I wanted to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: get in the stuff they weren't looking to text about that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: They kind of clammed up. But I would say for
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the Jets, if Jackson Smith Najigba is there at fifteen,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that's a real possibility. If one of these three players
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is there, if they Scaransky somehow falls, if Broderick Jones
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: from Georgia somehow falls, or if Paris Johnson somehow falls,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I think that would be the pick. I don't think
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: they go Darnell right from Tennessee. I don't think they
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: reach on another offensive lineman. So the name that I'm
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: putting down with them, and it doesn't obviously come straight
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: from them, but just knowing what they're trying to build there,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I gave them Lucas van Ness, who's like this like
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: thor of a pass rusher out of Iowa. We talked
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: about him with Joel Klatt. He's a big ten guy,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: didn't start a single game at Iowa, but was kind
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of like the sixth man. I would almost say, like
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: just would always get in and then play the rest
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: of the game. I've got him going fifteenth over all
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of the Jets, adding to a really good defense. If
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: he goes later than that. He goes later than that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: But I think van Ness is a really intriguing prospect
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and he could go to the Patriots at fourteen also,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: So that's about his area right there. Jets fans don't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: freak out if they don't take a tackle. There might
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: not be a tackle worthy of the fifteenth overall pick.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, Jets get trade back to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Jets get trade back. That could be a boring night
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: for Jets fans where they get all excited and it's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: like they Jets have traded the pick. I could see
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: that if none of their top guys are on the board,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they got a pretty good player. On Thursday, they're pretty
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: excited about number nine. I think one of the cool
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: things if you're watching at home, a lot of young
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: new gms are at the Helm here. So we've got
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a guy in Arizona, Monty astin Ford has the third
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: overall pick. And I don't know if this is fact
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: or fiction or whatever, but you're probably not supposed to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: tell the world that you want to trade the pick,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and Arizona has done that, and they've told everybody in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the league like we're open for business. What do you
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: want for the third overall pick. I don't know if
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: they lost their leverage with it, but they just need players,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: players and players. And you know everyone is laughing because
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: it's like, all right, well, who's trading up for that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: third pick? Does anyone really want c J. Stroud? Does
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: anyone really want Will Levis? Does anyone really want Anthony
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Richardson so badly that they would trade up? In my mock,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I have another young, first year GM trading up, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that's Ran Carthon from the Tennessee Titans. But Aaron, I'll
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: be honest. I know Ran. I've known him when he
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: was with the Niners. We've texted a bunch. I have
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: no idea what his tendency is as a general manager.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I also know Mike Rabel's got a really loud voice
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: in that building, and I don't know if Ran Carthon
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: has the They only have six picks, so I don't
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: know if they can actually go up there, what they
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: can offer and whether that makes sense for a team
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that has so many needs. But I have the Tennessee
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Titans moving up to three, giving up their eleventh pick,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: their forty first pick, and a Day two pick or
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: a day three pick to go get c J. Stroud
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and the connection there is a Manti. Austin Fort worked
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee with the Titans and Verbel so there's a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: familiarity there. Tannehill has basically one year left on that
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: contract and then he'll know he'll be done and let's
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: hand it over. Malik Willis was not the answer. If
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you remember Week eighteen last year, they had to go
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: sign Josh Dobbs off the street to play in the
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: biggest game of the season almost one and then the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: last part of it is Mike Rabel's an Ohio State guy.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day, the head coach of Ohio State, and Mike
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Rabel are very tight. Ryan Day, as Joe Klatt told
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: us last week, Ryan Day has been talking up CJ.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Stroud and it's been his biggest champion. Look, I don't
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: know if this is going to happen, but I find
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: it interesting that you have young gms who have not
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: done it many times before. So the other team that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: needs a quarterback eventually is Minnesota. Quesci Adolpho Mensa is
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the GM. It's his second year. Last year he traded back.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: This year, does he trade up and get one of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, Does he trade back? Does he We don't know.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: There's not a long track record. And Kirk Cousins is
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a similar deal as Tannehill, which means he's got basically
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: one year left and then it's what's going on in
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the future? Are we giving you another contract? So I
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: find out really cool. There's young new Ish gms and
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: some real pressure points in this draft, and I think
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: they're gonna end up being the key players in this draft.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm curious if anyone moves up to three. If not,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you get a really good player and Will Anderson or
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson, whoever's sitting there, and you could also take
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the offensive tackle. I don't think anyone would have a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: problem if they took Paris Johnson and you're like, what
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: do you mean you took Paris Johnson. Guess what, He's
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a top rated tackle in the draft. And Kyler Murray's
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: been running around with his head cut off, all right,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: So that's another point. Young gms holding the keys and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: could be really interesting. And number ten, we will not
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: know who the Houston Texans are taking, if they are trading,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: they are going quarterback, if they are going defense, until
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the final whistle. Can I should have started this thing
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: with a PSA. Can I tell you what I like
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: to do draft night? Now? I'm on the phones all
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: day leading up to it, and I've been kind of
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: what's the word with you about drafting? I'm like, not
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a draft. I can't. I can't be doing a pot
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: during the draft. I won't to do a live pod.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I want advantage. I go into airplane mode during the draft.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I turn my phone off, I turn Twitter off, and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I enjoy it like a fan, and I take my
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: own notes because the next morning I gotta talk about
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it, and I'm good Morning football. I love the draft. It's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the greatest reality TV show in the world. Why would
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: anyone want to check Twitter and have Albert Breer or
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Jason lockin for a spoil a pick for it's announced.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I understand why those guys do it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: It's their job as reporters, and they don't work for
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I truly as a PSA. I am begging
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: everyone at home who's listening to this as we head
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: towards the draft in a couple hours, turn off Twitter tonight.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Don't text your friends until after your team's picking. Enjoy
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: this like it's a reality TV show. I work on
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the draft. I do it on Thursday in the morning,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: and then on Friday I will be on and on
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Saturday mon all day. Here's how it works. The league
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: has the picks and they get funneled through and the
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: players know about probably about four or five minutes before
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: it's announced a lot of times, and then they have
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: to give the envelope and the album. In that time,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: work can leak, the agent can sail a reporter. I
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: could text the team who you take in. They'll say, okay,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: we just put the card in. We're taking Jalen Hyatt go.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: You know, like, what is the joy if you're a
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: consumer of this event to find it out before the
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: pick is announced. I am begging you just try it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Go back ten years, go back fifteen years. Try to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: live life before there was a second screen. Before you
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: sat on your phone while you're talking to someone at dinner,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm begging you put the phone away, hang out
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: with your friends, do everything in person, whatever, or just
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: watch it alone. I watch a loone. I love it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's great, and I beg of you to
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: do it, at least for the second pick in the draft.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Don't it's great at suspense. This is a billion dollar
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: industry with a lot of people who are paid a
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: lot of money to crack the code of who the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans are taking at two overall and we are
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours out right now from the selection and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: no one knows. I think that's awesome. I think that's great.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: So why spoil it? Why a minute beforehand? Find it
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: out from some random guy on Twitter who just found
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it out because he texted an agent, And no, don't
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: put your phone away. Enjoy it. I do it for
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the entire first round. I'm not taking any great pride
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: in this. It sounds ridiculous that I would do that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: as an NFL insider and not respond to text or anything.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Is my one night. I like to enjoy it. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: then Friday and Saturday I'm hardcore and I'm texting everyone
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm tweeting everything, and I get it. But my
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: big point number ten, no one knows what Houston's doing.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: If they tell you they know what Houston's doing, they're
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: lying to you. And then twelve overall is Houston also,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and no one knows what Houston's doing there. If I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: tell you they know what they're doing. They're lying to you.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I had to go back and forth thirty times on this.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Here's how I netted out two. At the end of
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the day, they end up taking Will Anderson, who is like,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you're O. The sound so insulting. It's like if Tyree
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Wilson is a home run. I was told this guy's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: like a standing double. Like, you got to this guy.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: He'll get you eight to ten sacks. He's solid, a
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: plus human off the field, no health concerns. Nick Saban's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: favorite player, Like Houston Texans, if they don't love a
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback at two, don't reach, don't take one, don't convince yourselves,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: go take that player. So I got Will Anderson. Then
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta give an a quarterback. I gotta get
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: him a quarterback. And then I'm like, I don't know
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: if they want to settle for the third or fourth
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: quarterback on the board. When they take a quarterback, that
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: means that's their guy for the next few years. If
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: they're passing on him on two, are they're really going
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to take him at twelve? So I have him trading
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: back in Seattle, jumping up from twenty to twelve to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: get Anthony Richardson, because I know Seattle really likes Anthony
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Richardson and Shane Waldron's offense would be a dream for
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a guy like Anthony Richardson, and he can wait a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: year in or Gino. It's a perfect situation if they
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: took If Seattle took Anthony Richardson at five, I wouldn't.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I wouldn blank. Yeah, that makes sense. But they get
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter and Anthony Richardson. They trade a bunch of
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: crap to get up to twelve, and then at twenty,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I have the Textans taking Jordan Addison, a wide receiver,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, we got a defensive end
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: and a wide receiver. That's our number one wide out
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: and our number one defensive end, and we'll attack the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: draft from here. But I do not have the Texans
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: taking a quarterback tomorrow, and I have no idea if
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: that's right. I'm telling you everyone, I'm begging you. I'm
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: telling you it's just so great. Don't go on Twitter
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: during the draft. Just watch it. I'm telling you, it's
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: such a fun experience if you just watch it without
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: knowing the answers. I don't do you, how do you watch?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I love that, but how do you watch the past
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: two three years? I guess, especially with pandemic. I have
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: some friends and we will stream it and we'll be
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: on a zoom call talk about that's cool, and I'm
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: texting one of my dad one of them. For whatever reason,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I always have the slowest stream So even like when
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: my dad and I will watch Bills games and he's
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: watching on.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: TV, what happened to yeah?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: And he's like nice, nice catch good, And I'm like,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I'm three plays behind you. I have no idea what
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you're talking about. And now I know that they score
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: a touchdown on this drive, or I know there's an
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: interception or something. So yeah, but I have I do
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: a lot because a lot of my friends that our
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: big football fans are not in New York with me. Yep,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I watch and we're texting throughout or we're face timing
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: throughout all. Yeah. I love all that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Just shut down Twitter.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Don't let the answers be still. Now if they text
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: you and say, oh I heard it, ignore it. I'm
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: checking my at mentions because I asked if anyone has
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: any questions.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, draft questions?
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but all they're doing.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Is talking about the man.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I put I put a photo of the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Z Man. So here we go. Wow, we've got to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: take I'm gonna read some tweets.

• 39:08
  Speaker 1: let Joe kc monopolize your barbecue time, though many would
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: argue that Joe's is great, but who is the best
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: or even in the top five barbecue joints is always
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: debated in Kansas City. Also, there are many restaurants in
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: other genres too, so very formless is like Rick Steves
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: wrote this one Good Eats in Kansas City Galore Q
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: thirty nine would be my suggestion.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, and that is one that you called out before too.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Here's one from Kansas Man fifty five, which has an
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: egg avatar burnt and Z Man best sandwich on Earth.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Who's a player the Bengals would consider trading up for
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: in round one? Don't see it. Don't see the Bengals
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: wind to trade up all right? Here's last one. It's
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: from Jimmy Crickets. Yo, you got the goat Kansas City
• 39:58

• 40:02
  Speaker 1: note early wake up for me tomorrow. I'll be up.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: You know, when I go on these remote shows, usually
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I've got my own routine at home. I like to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: get my big ice coffee. Like NFL Network has me
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: up like four hours before the show. I'm like, for
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: what what am I doing? You're like, I just want
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: to make sure you're okay. And because I'm so nervous
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that one day when I like lash out and I'm like,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not waking up four hours early because you guys are,
• 40:25

• 40:26
  Speaker 1: to get up early early, and then I'm telling you
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I'm done. I do a couple things. I think I'm
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: doing McAfee show tomorrow, and then I will go to
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: my hotel room and I will turn on that TV
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: NFL network coverage and I'll tell you one of the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: coolest things is when the Niners drafted Trey Lance. I
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: found out when they announced the pick Trey Lance and
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: it was over Mac Jones and I was ninety nine
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: percent sure they were taking Mac Jones when it all
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: came down and I was like genuinely surprised. It's a
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: great feeling to be genuinely surprised about something. There's a
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: million things that have happened the last few draft is
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: how I do it. I am encouraging everyone to do it.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: And then you will wake up on Friday morning, put
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football NFL Network. We're also on ESPN two.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Their silly asking us this is like a crossover event.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I'll be live here with all my reactions, and then
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Friday night I'll be on NFL Network. Mean, Ian Rappaporter
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: are like something there, call him like the insider stage,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: which is very very cool. And then Saturday all day
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and the beating sun, I'll be wearing a suit and
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: sweating this z man out literally for like eight hours.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: And it's myself, Rich Eyes and Charles Davis and the
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: legend Daniel Jeremiah. And then if you recall, we had
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah on a few days last week and we
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: talked about our annual steak dinner. This is what we
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: do again. I sound like an entitled prick. I just
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you know, here's what I do. I eat and I
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: get to go and be on TV and all these things.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Daniel and I have a tradition. First of all, Daniel
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: does not drink. I don't think he drinks soda, and
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think he curses. So there's me who's like
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: this New Jersey trash, you know, like here's what I'm
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: hearing on the streets. Daniel's got like he's on my age.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I think he's got kids in college. I don't understand
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: how that works. That's like, he's a West Coast guy.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: He's like just a whole different world that we come from,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: totally different backgrounds, and yet we merge. He's like a devout,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: great Christian father, and I'm like this Jewish guy from
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: New York, and the two of us just completely we blend.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: And we have this steak dinner every year after the draft.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: We started it in Nashville. We did it, then in Cleveland,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: did it last year. As I said, over the Blaggio
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: fountains at five point thirty, while the fountains were going
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: up and people were coming by taking photos of us
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: as if we were an engaged couple. I made the reservation.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We just want to eat our steak in peace. But
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: we're having it after the draft, and the two of
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: us are going to dine like gentlemen, and then we
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: are going to go home and we are going to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: take a long nap, and of course we will all
• 42:51
