• 0:39
  Speaker 1: tonight Nuggets and Clippers, plus NFL Draft coverage starts at
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: six o'clock right here on Altitude Sports Radio. Leggy, let's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: just start at this spot. Right now, we are seeing
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: reports that Denver is making calls to go up. We
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: are seeing reports that Denver is getting calls to move back.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: What do you know about the Broncos situation and what
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: people are saying when they call up George and John pateon.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Well, some people that are calling are guarding against the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: idea that Pittsburgh will take a quarterback at twenty one
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So that's the essence of the popularity of the Broncos
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: pick right now. As if if cam Ward is the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: only quarterback off the board as the picks go to fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: then the Broncos become a very popular spot for the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: teams that need to get in front of Cleveland and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: New York to get a quarterback coming out of the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: first round or early in the second. So that's most
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of the genesis of that. And you know, the Broncos
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: have to consider your basic three options, you know, stay put,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: move up, or move back. Because of the structure of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the board this year, the twentieth pick is right on
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the edge of having just one or two or three
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: first round players left on your board when your pick
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: rolls around, or maybe maybe zero first round grades when
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: your pick rolls around. So most of these calls are
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to be prepared to do something when you're on the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: clock that you're prepared and you have a structure of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: what teams might be looking for or what you might
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: have to give up to make your move.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Jeff, if the Broncos were to move up, what player
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: do you believe they could be targeting.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I believe if one of the tight ends, one of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the top two tight ends moved down the board, which
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is unexpected, frankly. But if somehow one of the two
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: top two tight ends got past Indianapolis, then I think
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a move up is in the equation. Or if some
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: parallel universe where Ashton genty is on the board after ten,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I believe those are the kinds of players they would
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: move forward. But again, it's the thin first round, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: it's a very competitive world for those those first round
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: graded players.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Jeff, Let's say just just you know, I like to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: do this. I need to know the value. I need
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to know the cost of things. Let's say the old
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: rumored possibility of Denver going from twenty to thirteen trading
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to thirteens of Dolphins Miami. Yes, so if they were to,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: let's say that's the trade. What's that going to cost
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: them to go from twenty to thirteen just because Loveland's there?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: An expensive trade and you know, you you know, it
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: would certainly only be made if you're targeting a very
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: specific player, because you probably have to give up a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: at least one Day two pick from this year, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that is the strength of this draft board. So you'd
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: be leaving you'd be leaving the strength of the draft
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to get the one player you want. But that's that's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a position you're okay with it to get the guy
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: who wants. The issue is, again, because the first round
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: is thinner than most years, the teams that have those
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: tip picks believe they hold more values, so you may
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: have to give up a little more to get people
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to make the deal.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Leggy, the amount of rumors that are kind of flying
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: right now and the various different insiders, does this suggest
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that this is a top ten or a top part
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of this draft board where there is just so little
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: consensus and teams have their individual favorites that maybe they're
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: going to be aggressive for rather than simply stay put
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and take the best player available.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And that's all of the above date it's again you're
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: talking about a first round where there's just fewer players,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: where teams are looking at the board and say, we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: would take these guys at five, we would take these
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: guys at eight, we would take these guys at fifteen. Uh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: that list is shorter this year than it's been in
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: in decdays. Frankly, I've not seen a top heavy first
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: round like this in a very long time. And uh
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: so that people are looking at fewer names, so it
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: makes them want to be or at least position themselves
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to be able to get the guys they do want.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And that's why you're seeing, you know, all of these
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: things come up because there is a lack of consensus
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: when it's not a quarterback heavy first round.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: All right, Jeff, what what do you think happens?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: What?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: What do you think we get a lot of trades
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: in these first ten Your boy Adam Shifter, our guy
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Adam Shifter tweeting out that everyone's kind of bracing for chaos.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I feel like we've heard this before, and then kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: of goes wow, what do you think are we gonna
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: actually get an active first ten picks tonight? Or you
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: think is there such a thing is going chalk? You've
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: told us in the past, people like who they like?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Would there even be a thing that could go chalk?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I could see twenty different scenarios playing out in those
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: first ten picks. How do you think this goes?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Well? I think usually it takes and it's gonna sound weird,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: but it takes one deal to get made for the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: dominoes to go because then everybody sees kind of what
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the market is, and it's very hard in a draft
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: like this, it's very hard to convince your owner if
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you're a GM, why did you trade out of the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: prime spot to move down when we could have had
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the prime spot. So that makes it more difficult to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: make those deals than than we think, as we all
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: discuss it as when your roster and your job is
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: on the line, you have to explain to people why
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you moved out of the top ten of a draft
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in a year when it's not particularly strong at the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: bottom of the round. So if you're flip flopping with
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a team, if he's going from like eight to twenty three,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you're not helping yourself really, So it's gonna take more
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, we'll see how it unfolded, but
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I think it will take more than the value charts
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: say to get eos done because of that, all.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Right, Ley, speaking of the prime spots, who gets Travis
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Hunter tonight ultimately? And does Shador Sanders get drafted tonight?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I think he does. I think he does get drafted tonight.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And you know, frankly, it's not a strong quarterback class,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: but for me, he's clearly number two in it. So
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: it's hard for me to believe it's a one quarterback
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: first round. And if Travis Hunter makes it past Cleveland,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you know, then I think they've done something wrong. But
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna ask me.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm telling you, it feels like everyone is
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: saying on ESPN anyway, Leggy, that it's gonna be Jackson Dark.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: People are feeling there's more momentum, like New Orleans likes
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Jackson Dart better. Apparently the Giants like Jackson Dart better.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Do you really think do you think there's a possibility
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that Dart is the second quarterback?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: In actuality?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I see you know again, it's just my grade, So
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I realize what people might think of that. But there's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a big gap between sur Sanders and Jackson Dark for me,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: With you too.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I'm with you, Leggy, just to be clear, but.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: With people I work with, and I think that's a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: mistake and I think it's unfair to Jackson Dark frankly
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to put him in that kind of situation. But again,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's gonna ask me about that one.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Also, Jackson Dart looks like a villain from an eighties movie.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So Jeff Legwald, everybody, ESPN, Leggy's gonna have the stuff
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: all night long.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Now, we're gonna bugging when we can.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He'll be on tonight on Altitude Sports Radio, He'll be
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: on ESPN, he'll be covering all of this again. Raid
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Jeff's Top one hundred. If you want to know, did
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: did the Broncos or did my favorite team whomever it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: may be, did they get good value? Just judge whatever
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the pick was against Legwald's Top one hundred. You'll get
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the real scoop right there. Leggy, good work as always, man,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: We'll say it
