  Speaker 1: Let's it out to the ramos Law hotline car accident.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: You need ramos Law medical doctor and attorney Ramoslaw dot com. Uh, Like,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: can I start with something real quick, just off the top.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: It's not football related, but I know that you love
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: the teams around here. What's more impressive? Is it Jokic
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: almost going for twenty twenty and twenty last night?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Or is it Jamal Murray going for fifty three with
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: only five free throws?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Both pretty impressive, but twenty twenty twenty. I don't know
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: how often you're gonna see that in your lifetime.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, uh, he's.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: The only got to do it three times he's done it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: I mean it's it's that's the thing. That one.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: That one's ridiculous, especially for a center. I mean, that's
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: that's unbelievable.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Jeff Lagwell with us. Now to the Broncos part of things. Uh,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: we were talking about this. Uh, I just want to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: get your perspective, your trusted football.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Brain on this.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Marvin Mims is somebody who looks a lot like Jalen
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Model and now you're wondering what his role is within
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the offense. Him entering a contract year, do you see
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: any scenario with him in which they get into camp,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: maybe he's not getting the reps he thinks he should
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: get with, especially the first team.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Does he go to the front office at all?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's a possibility that he says, I'm
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in a contract year, I need to play and prove
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: that I can make some money.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, at first, blush, I'd say, you know, no.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: After talking to him a lot, I.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Mean, he.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I do think he's He's like any top flight athlete.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: He's very prideful about what he can do, what he
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: believes he can do. So I don't have a problem
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: thinking he would. He would, you know, stick up for
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: himself at some point, But I don't know if he'd
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: go all the way to going to the front office
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: or you know, sitting down. You know, he would obviously
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: talk with Sean, and Sean's the head coach, or he's
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: going to talk to players all the time about their
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: roles and things. But I think if you're him, you're
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: if you don't see an uptick in you sage, you're
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: thinking you're gonna need to go elsewhere to to you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: explore what you really are as a player. Right, I
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: still think and you know, look, it's just it's just
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the sports writer guy and everything. But I still think
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the Mimes, Wattle Sutton is the best three wide athletically,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: route running all of it that they could put out there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: But you do have two similar players when you do
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that in Wattle and Mims. But I still think that's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the best three.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Uh. And they're gonna run an awful lot of three
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: wide this year.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: The Wattle trade is proof of that. And they were
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: in the top ten last year without them in three
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: wide sets. So but yeah, i'd like to see you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I've always been the guy who said I'd like to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: see him get ninety targets and see what that looks like.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: First off, I gotta say this on the twitch feed.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: So but he says, JFC, I'm so tired about hearing
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: about men's and waddle, to which Nelly responded on Twitch,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Can I offer you a mock draft in this trying time?
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, Well this is where we're at. Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: See, we're talking about what they might do, what they
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: could do. I mean they're not on the field in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: any sort of football drill until May, so I mean
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: even even longer for the Bronco Sean Payton keeps them
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: in conditioning longer than any other head coach, so we're
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: not going to see football stuff, but it matters. I mean,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: they drafted the guy in the second round and seem
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: to want to do everything possible to not play him
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: as much as the other guys.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: I do have a comment in a question here. The
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Competition Committee has given the league a couple of things
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: that they'd like to change, one of them being on
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: side kick anytime. All right, Before I get to that,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I heard on the PhD show a d max solution
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: to it would be just no kickoffs at all, just
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: every team. And I think that's dumb because then you
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: eliminate the ability to get the ball back if you
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: desperately need the ball back. So that's why you have
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to have kickoffs in the game, in my opinion, so
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: your kickoffs remain in the game. However, why wouldn't they
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: allow onside kicks anytime?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: That was the dumbest move.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I thought I'd ever seen, to only allow onside kicks
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. What if you want to throw
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: one at the beginning of a game, it's on you,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: it's not Why not? Why is that such a difficult
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: concept to understand there.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd be interested to see how Sean Payton is
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: in the meetings since he's the guy who did it
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. Yeah, you know, to open the
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: second half or whatever.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, I just think that was what. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: there was a.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Big push on the safety side of that play at
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that time, and I think that was maybe they swung
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the pendulum a little too far, and you know, coaches
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and others want to see it come back a little bit.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I you know, I think that play is
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: going to be in there in some fashion, the kickoff,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: but that that's one of those They're gonna keep kicking
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the tires on that thing because that is sort of
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: their leading in a lot of ways. They're leading concussion play,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: uh in some fashion, so they're dealing with that aspect
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of it while trying to keep it in the game.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But I think the on side kick, you know, if
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: if you have to declare it, who cares when you
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: when you try it?
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all semblance of surprise is gone. I declare I'm
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: gonna try to fool you by kicking to you an
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: on side kick.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's got to be a happy there's gotta be
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: a happy medium in there somewhere, Jeff. There has to
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: be right, I would think.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: But you know again, it's the meetings are.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I'm always stunned at at after I talk to people
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: who on the competition committee. Uh, they have the the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: first meetings, like two weeks worth of meetings before they
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: go to the league meetings with these proposed changes. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: in that two week meeting, I'm amazed at what they
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: spend hours on talking about things I think need a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: lot of discussion, just breathe through. And then they'll spend
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: three days on the minutia of the minutia in some
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: special teams play. And I think the kickoff has become
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: that when you talk to the competition committee.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Folks, Okay, two things real quick. One, are we really
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: paying wide outs forty two plus million dollars per year?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: And Joe Flacco seems to think that he's deserving of
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: a job. Your thoughts on both of those topics.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I always think if someone's going to pay you
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: something with two commas in it in football after you're forty,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I think you just say, you know, thank you and yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I just or I mean, if someone's gonna you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: your market is what someone will give you. But you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I know people don't like that all the time, but
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: it's true for all of us. You know, my market
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: is not what Joe Flacco's is, apparently because he can.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And it just shows you the shallow pool of quarterbacks
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: out there that are ready and can play NFL football,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: despite the fact we want to put twenty.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Five in every draft that are ready to be stars.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: That's just not the case.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: And if it was a forty one year old Joe Flacco,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: you know, wouldn't have such an easy time finding a spot.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, if they'll pay you, why not. You know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I'm a little surprised because when he left here he
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: acted in some ways like, you know, maybe it had
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: enough of NFL football.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: That's the part that I was thinking a thing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, talking to him in the locker room after that season,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: it just felt like he had decided, maybe I've had enough.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: But that obviously that is not the case, because that's
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a that's a long time ago.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It's funny somebody said, can we please stop talking about
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Marvin Mimms.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons why is because there's only one
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: thing that's really affected this team that wasn't here last year,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and it's the Wattle trade. And I know that there's
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: still plenty of time and plenty of room for other
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: moves to be made, and they've opened up more cap space.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I think they're roughly around sixteen million dollars in which
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: they can spend.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But do you think that there's still more stuff coming?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Like, when you look at it from this perspective, they
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: brought back, retained ninety four percent of their snaps from
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: last year, and then added Wattle to this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It doesn't leave a lot of room for a lot
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of else.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Well, there probably isn't other
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: than the draft class. Yeah, that's that's that's where they're
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: at though. But that's when when you say think you
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: have a good team. This is how it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Looks to this though, where it's like really just one
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: external addition.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I know Tyson Anderson's in there too, but one really
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: big one.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Not this kind of retention. But this is a uniquely
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: positioned team. You've got a team with a lot of
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: cash too. It can it can do these things when
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: other teams could not. I mean Pat Bowl and I'm
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: certain wanted to retain a lot of players, but they
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: didn't have a cash upfront cash to do it. This this,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: this ownership group can do this anytime it wants to. Yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: and so we may see it again, and other ownership
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: groups cannot do this. They can they can sign guys
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: to true extensions during the season because they're not worried
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: about cash flow. They can do it anytime they want.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: And I think that's been underestimated in the discussion of
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: this ownership group league wide, is they can do this,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: will do this, and they'll do it more than anybody
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: else because they have more money than anybody else.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: And the memes thing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Look, you know, I've told fans who've had or people
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: who've asked me, you know, why is it such a
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: discussion point? And I say, in my time as a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: beat writer doing this job, I feel like I've been
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: able to answer a lot of the questions I've had
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: about things. I have not gotten a good answer from
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: anyone ever about why Mims's usage has always looked the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: way it has, even from Marvin. Marvin doesn't know, or
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: at least he's not saying if he thinks he knows.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: I agree Is he not practicing hard?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Is he no? The part what is no?
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: That's what I mean.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I watched the guy in the parts of practice we
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: see in camp. I take I pay attention when I'm
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: out there, and uh, I see a really good player
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: who has a hard time, you know, And I have
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: to believe it's you know, that it's coming from somewhere
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: that he doesn't fit something they want. But I have
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: just said I don't have that answer. And it's one
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: of the few times I felt like I haven't been
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: able to get an answer as to why things are.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: We are now a month away from the NFL Draft.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: You feel it? You ready?
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Wait?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Wait wait when's the top one hundred coming?
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: How much of your top one hundred you have done yet?
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean I've looking at tons of guys, so
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I've stacked. I've stacked about five eighty players. So we'll
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: get we're getting to the final hundred. But I think
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: it will run a week out from the draft, a
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: week and a half out from the draft, something like that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Well, that sounds fun going through five and eighty different
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: players in film.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: My goodness, I had to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: I had to get down to five eighty or so.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: That's the issue.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Holy Now this time of year is funny in the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: media because now you got a lot of people talking
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: about the draft who are surprised by some players that
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: nobody in the league is surprised by. They've been They've
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: been stacking these guys for a year. It's just that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of us covering this thing are suddenly interested
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: from the combine on.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Hey, man, I appreciate your work because I read it
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: all the time. Number one, Number two, I read your
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: top one hundred every year. I appreciate it very my bible,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: my draft Bible. But it doesn't mean you're not a
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: geek for doing.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: It's that's that's there's that's definite proof of that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Only a moron. Only a moron would.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Cover a beat and then decide, Hey, you know what
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna stack a lot of draft guys
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: for for fun.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, you gotta be be some kind of idiot
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: to put all that together.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, I get two quick questions then number one. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: remember I think it was mayok years ago. But you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: almost never see this when they're the drafts going on
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and you have like the live analysis during the draft right,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and somebody got drafted and they went to an expert
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and I think it was mayok and they said, what
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: can you tell us about this guy? And he straight
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: up said, I don't know.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, I know the player.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: The Raiders took a safety one year that nobody else
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I knew even had a draftable grade on.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So has that happened to you before?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Oh I I oh, yeah, no, you get you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: day one, not usually you don't usually get that surprised,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: but day two. Sometimes day two it'll be like, wow,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I'll at least have the guy's measurables, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: height way what he did at is pro day, I'll
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: have that, but I won't have sometimes I won't have
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: the deep dive on some.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Of the guy.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, So what did you think when the Raiders took
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Sebastian jenny Kowski in the first round that year?
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Well, you knew, you knew about him. It was just
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: that they decided a kicker was worthing. I think they
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: took the punter that year too, Leckler. I think they
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: took I think they took two kickers in the same draft,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: which I thought was was quirky.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: So last thing for you and appreciate your time, Legy.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: There's been a little bit of a controversy at your
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: network between Pat McAfee and Dan Rolfski, and he was
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: talking about who he thought the best quarterback in the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: draft was.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Dan like Simpson he likes a lot.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is your thoughts on if you guys missed it?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Him and McAfee got into a little back and forth
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: with Mendoza a little bit, a little bit chippy, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: suppose in between those two. But what did you think
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: about like Orlovsky's assessment of that, saying that he thinks
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: he's better than Vanana Mendoza.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, I would say you, you would be stunned if
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: if all of us could look at the thirty two
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: draft boards in the league, you would be absolutely stunned
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: at the differences what a group of people looking at
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the same group of players can decide where those players
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: are ranked.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So you think some teams have Ty Simpson as the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: best quarterback.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know that for sure.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I know some have it a lot closer than we
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: would think because some scouts and gms are more comfortable
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: with speculative. I mean, since it only has fifteen college starts,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: some GMS will just move him down the board for
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that alone, Like that's not enough of the sample size.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not diving in in the first round for that
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: just because of the sample size effect.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, or you know.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: For years you could just pick a guy, you know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, Mark Sanchez be going back. I mean it's
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: there's I remember Pete Carroll blew a gasket when Mark
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Sanchez announced he was entering the draft because he'd only
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: started for you know, one season.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: He wasn't ready something long.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's but that's I'm just saying some
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: people wouldn't care how good Simpson looks. They would they
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: would sort of numerically, they you know, he loses some
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: value because we don't have the sample size. So but no,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: you you know, I can ask twelve scouts at the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Senior Bowl what they think of this one player and
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: get twelve very different grades. That'll be like four rounds apart.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: So I mean that it's out there, and I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: we don't talk enough about that when we talk about
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the draft. We we have this thought that there's one
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: consensus board that every team's working off of. No, I mean,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: it's it's a lot of players and a lot of opinions,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and the best people at it get get more right
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: than the other guys. But there there are tons of
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: opinions on every guy.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Can I zapp something very quickly? Because are you reading
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: about this and it's out there? Oh well, the reason
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Orlovsky's pushing for Simpson is because Simpson and Orlosky share
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: the same agent. Now, I've known Dan for a long time.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: I've known Dan for a while, He's been on our show.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you stop with that crap. The man thinks
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: for himself. You think the influence of a shared agent
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: is gonna have him go on national television and put
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: his credibility on the line.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Stop it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: These stupid rumors get out there and people fall for it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how you fall for it and why.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: It's silly, it's stupid. It's a knock on a man's character.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Dan Rolovsky feels one way has nothing to do with
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: outside influence from his agent.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Ridiculous.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, too big, I mean, guys, I mean, look,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: would Ty Simpson and his reps enter the draft or
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: announce they're entering the draft in January if they don't
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: already know how much how good NFL people think he is. Yeah, look,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: they've been scouting him.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: For a year.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Just because the media pays attention to the draft after
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: February doesn't mean the league hasn't been scouting all year.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: They had the information that is surprising so many people
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: right now. They had that back in January. The only
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: reason he comes into the draft. I mean, your choices
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: are to go play, start one more season in Alabama
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: and make millions of dollars, but you choose not to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: do that because you don't. I mean, you know your
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: draft status, you know how people are interested in you,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: and you know you're most likely going in the first
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: round way back in January. So a lot of the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: narrative is just people who don't pay attention to the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: draft the other ten months of the year getting involved.
• 18:55
