We're going to be here until 2O clock.
0:55
And why are we here? Well, it's mock craft day.
0:58
We did it last year, a blast doing it a couple of days
1:01
earlier, but due to extenuating circumstances and pretty cool
1:05
circumstances at that, Russ Crew is going to join us coming up
1:08
here in about 20 minutes. We'll get into that is he is
1:11
going to be part of the fan group that's right in front of
1:14
the God forsaken stage, the draft chief section.
1:20
So we'll get into that with Ross.
1:21
Yes, the Chiefs have two picks. Will they make 2 picks?
1:24
That'll be part of our program here today is we're going to
1:26
make a draft pick for every one of the teams that participates
1:30
in Round 1 of this year's NFL draft.
1:32
There was a trade going into the weekend.
1:34
We'll get into that at some point, but lots of ground to
1:37
cover. We'll do an opening segment
1:38
before our draft coverage starts about 12.
1:40
Oh, right after our 1220 break. By the way, keywords are back.
1:44
Be listening Trent tonight I have an opportunity and hour one
1:48
as well as our second hour to in a nationwide contest your chance
1:52
to win $1000. We'll give you the keyword and
1:56
all the particulars coming up here in about 20 minutes for the
1:58
first one that this contest day #1 of this nationwide contest it
2:03
is back again and somebody hopefully is going to win $1000
2:07
for listening to KXNO back from his not a vacation.
2:11
Well, it's kind of was you were there with family wedding, but
2:14
good to see you. How was South Carolina?
2:16
It was awesome. Yeah.
2:18
My youngest cousin on my mom's side of the family got married.
2:21
So the youngest 1 is now married off and now away we go with the
2:25
rest. I'm the oldest on that side of
2:26
the family. So the old guy, the young guy
2:29
hanging out one more time. Great wedding.
2:31
Really cool place. I never heard of Fripp.
2:33
Island. Neither have I, no.
2:34
And it's a private island but you can get Airbnb's and stuff
2:39
like. That oh, you can.
2:40
How many is there? How many people live on the
2:43
island, would you say? Any idea?
2:45
Maybe 1500, something like that. A couple of golf courses, a
2:48
little shop there. They have a Marina.
2:50
So it was different than any kind of vacation that I've been
2:54
kind of like that. Very slower paced, nice, not a
2:58
party scene, anything like that. I really thought I was thinking
3:01
Ken would love this place. I mean, it's very, very slow
3:04
pace, but. Pricey because the fact it's on
3:07
an island or not. Nearly what I thought, yeah, it
3:10
was in fact a lot cheaper than I anticipated it was going to be.
3:13
So that was a good component too, of having that and not
3:16
going to break the bank. And we talked about with with my
3:19
family, it was adults only, so the kids were not allowed to
3:22
come. And my youngest, Jack, he had
3:25
some things to say about that. He was none too pleased with
3:28
Cousin Dalton. So Cousin Dalton got to take him
3:30
to Adventureland because my cousin is actually moving to
3:33
Ankeny. We're in Ankeny today, yes.
3:35
And he's going to be in Ankeny now.
3:37
He works, he's worked for John Deere ever since he graduated
3:39
college and he's does some accounting things and things
3:42
like that. So he's going to be back here in
3:44
Iowa. He's been in Texas and Kansas
3:46
City and all over the place. So the John Deere plant.
3:49
Yeah, well, they're like, it's like they're the Johnston office
3:53
up there. Yeah, it's different.
3:55
He won't be at the plant. Well, good.
3:57
Congratulations to them. Big Hawkeye fan not to talk.
4:01
A lot of people I haven't seen in years.
4:02
So he grew up in a town like 18 miles away.
4:05
Riceville is the town. So he grew up very close.
4:08
Obviously we had family get togethers, all those things.
4:10
I babysat him and his his sister Cambria all the time growing up.
4:13
But to see a lot of those people from Riceville that I haven't
4:17
seen in 30 years. I mean, people can be from
4:21
Riceville. Well, it's a town of like 1000.
4:23
Yeah, it's a small town. And they they lived on the golf
4:26
course there in Riceville. So a lot of people that just I
4:28
haven't seen for so long. My uncle on that side, he's got
4:31
a big family, a lot of brothers and sisters.
4:33
So. And when you haven't seen
4:34
somebody in 30 years, boy, we aged a little.
4:36
Yeah, just a tad, Trench. Just a little bit, yeah.
4:39
That's good. Glad you had fun, glad you're
4:41
back, and we'll take you here until 2:00.
4:43
So you mentioned the Hawks. So we start there.
4:45
We'll get to Iowa State and their news as Audie Crooks
4:48
certainly made some yesterday. But let's start about the Ben
4:51
McCollum, the last one we had Tom on Tom on Friday.
4:55
Of course, Tom Cacart, hawkeyereport.com.
4:57
He kind of thought that maybe something was going to break
5:00
over the weekend and man, it did.
5:02
They got their 7 foot 3 center. I can't wait to see how McKeever
5:06
is going to fit into this offense.
5:08
I'll just throw it to you and and your thoughts on on a busy
5:11
weekend for McCollum. And I guess there's now what one
5:13
scholarship left and they're probably holding that out for
5:15
Banks as the NC double awaits. We wait for the NCAA ruling on
5:20
five to play 5. But your thoughts on the 2
5:23
additions to Ben McCollum Steam? So the McKeever ones, a guy that
5:27
we talked about plenty, we mentioned him and just how he
5:30
fits. One thing that jumped out kind
5:32
of digging into some of the stats and the numbers out of him
5:35
is he is a player, you know, he shoots 50% from the floor and
5:38
for a 7 three guys like that's not very good.
5:41
You're 7 foot 3 and you're only shooting 50% from the floor.
5:43
But one thing that he did excel at this year at Saint Mary's was
5:47
on pick and roll situations, 71% in those kinds.
5:50
So that's definitely something, and we know the McCullum system
5:53
because thinking back throughout the course of the year, how many
5:56
times did they throw it into the post like a traditional post
6:00
entry now, if you have a better score?
6:02
And yeah, it was definitely not that.
6:04
So I'm sure that's a part of it too.
6:05
We're not going to do it because he's not very good at it, but
6:07
we're not going to build the offense that way.
6:09
That's not his strength. Right.
6:10
But it is a ton of pick and roll high screen stuff.
6:13
And I think that's something where McKeever, I think you're
6:15
going to see a jump number one offensive rebounder in the
6:17
country, offensive rebounding rate when he's on the floor.
6:20
He was the best of the country at that.
6:22
That definitely helps. And then the size and I guess
6:24
what are the knocks when you just look at him artistically to
6:27
even average a block a game. But people WCC saw a scouting
6:31
report talked about just the number of shots that maybe he
6:34
doesn't get a block shot, but he's going to change, yes,
6:37
because of that size. That's something that is very
6:39
difficult to measure. But people just anecdotally that
6:42
watch him say he's definitely going to do plenty of that.
6:45
Really like that one. It's what they needed.
6:47
It's what they were targeting and out of the realistic big man
6:50
options and we know the price tag that came along with it
6:52
seemed like something. And when Yukons involved, even
6:55
though Yukon got another center bill, if Danny Hurley gives it
6:58
also a stamp of approval, yeah, that that just helps a.
7:00
Little, no, without a doubt. I think it's a great get.
7:02
In fact, I remember when I saw him go into the portal for the
7:05
first time, I think we talked about it.
7:07
Not necessarily connecting him to Iowa, but certainly a
7:11
possibility. And do you think you'll get a
7:13
call? Is this something that McCullum
7:15
would be in? Is he the tallest talk guy ever?
7:17
I mean Woodbury is what, 7/1 he? Was 7/1.
7:21
Les Jepsen was 7/2. Was he 7/2 or 7/1?
7:25
He was, yeah, one of those bow. Bells.
7:27
North Dakota, absolutely right up in your neck.
7:29
Yeah, way up there. Up there and you talk about a
7:32
guy that couldn't walk and chew gum when he showed up on campus
7:35
and turned himself into an NBA draft pick at the end as he went
7:38
to the Warriors. I wonder if there's anybody
7:41
taller than him. I can't think of anybody.
7:43
I can't either. I can't.
7:44
Old timers help us out if we're missing anybody back in the day,
7:47
but I certainly can't think of anybody like Antonio Ramos.
7:49
He was a stiff. He was 7 void.
7:51
But yeah, it's kind of a rarity now looking back of having a guy
7:55
with that kind of just it's another 4 inches from a six inch
7:58
like that. That makes a difference.
8:00
Absolutely a difference there. I think this is a guy that we
8:03
talked about probably the most out of the portal candidates and
8:06
they got him. So another one that's
8:08
identified. I think McCullum does recruit a
8:10
little bit different, likes to keep it a little bit more quiet,
8:13
but. Mission accomplished it.
8:15
Took a while and that's where a lot of the inks started to come
8:18
in from the fan base, but it's a good piece and and you look
8:21
forward now in the middle. Is it going to be man Yao
8:24
starting? Do you bring him off the bench?
8:26
You know, and can they, those two play together in certain
8:29
lineups for a 4 minute stretch, you know, in 1/2 something like
8:32
that. Can you have man Yao be the
8:34
four, him be the five? If you're playing a team built
8:36
like Michigan this past year, you're playing a team like
8:39
Illinois. Who had their own 7 too?
8:41
Right. And when Illinois obviously
8:43
went? They're all 7 foot.
8:44
Right. If you can play those guys
8:46
together, I think that'll be kind of an intriguing thing
8:49
going into the year. And then we jump over to Coleman
8:53
and Tyree Coleman. I texted a guy that we know, I
8:57
think, you know, that covers the Missouri Valley Conference.
9:00
And one thing that he said is he's just scratching the surface
9:04
really. He wasn't didn't love basketball
9:08
like some of the guys love basketball.
9:10
It was something he just kind of figured out in high school.
9:11
Oh, I got a chance to kind of move on.
9:13
He is the oldest out of his family and he wants to show he's
9:19
very much a leader. He is a leader of his family.
9:21
He wants to prove things. And I heard Tom Caikert's
9:24
podcast actually on my way back from the airport, and he
9:28
mentioned something I thought really interesting is they were
9:30
talking to one of their Illinois guys over there that comes to
9:34
Illinois high school basketball. And I hadn't even thought about
9:36
this, but he said 10 years ago Colvin would have been a Big 10
9:39
player coming out of high school.
9:41
But in today's environment with all the portal, it's not like it
9:45
was where you bring in four or five guys every year, two of
9:49
them more developmental. And you hope by a junior senior
9:51
like he would have been one of those guys.
9:53
But not anymore because we have the portal and that's when
9:56
you're going out there and you're plucking those guys.
9:57
You're only bringing in one or two high school guys every
9:59
season. I thought that was interesting.
10:01
But really quick off the bounce incredibly fast.
10:04
He is going to be a guy I think Hawkeye fans are going to like,
10:07
and he likes to be coached hard. That was the other thing.
10:09
That I and he's going to be coached hard.
10:11
So he's come to the right place, no doubt about it.
10:14
Let's go to Iowa State in the news on Iowa State from this
10:16
past weekend. Obviously it's women's college
10:20
basketball related. Good for you Bill Fennelly.
10:23
I I questioned it out loud on the show.
10:25
Just what kind of roster is going he going to be able to put
10:27
together The assumption is he's a lame duck coach.
10:30
It's only going to be for one year and I'm not going to try
10:33
and pull the wool over everybody, over anybody's eyes.
10:36
I have no idea if the girls can play, but when they have stars
10:39
beside their name and some of the stuff you read about them,
10:41
maybe a little bit better athletes than are making their
10:46
way to that program that I thought they would.
10:48
But the big news obviously is Audie Crooks who depending on
10:51
what you read and who you listen to, she got over well over $1
10:55
million to go to Oklahoma State. I've heard conflicting 1.41
11:00
point 5. Whatever it is good for her from
11:03
getting the money. The only thing, and I'm not I'm
11:07
not blaming her one bit, by the way, get the money, get as much
11:10
as you can. If she could have gone anywhere
11:13
but the Big 12, you know, that kind of stings a little bit.
11:17
And I, and I think clone fans, I certainly don't speak for them.
11:21
I, I think that they would have been, I think some are OK with
11:24
it because you know who's going to turn down an opportunity at
11:28
1.4 million, right? Nobody, nobody.
11:31
Especially if you're working stiff.
11:33
It's life changing money. But it would have been a whole
11:36
lot easier to swallow if she would have went to the SEC or
11:39
the Big 10 or fill in the blank, right?
11:41
But she's staying in the Big 12. She's going to Oklahoma State.
11:45
More power to her. Absolutely.
11:47
There are the component, though. She's not going to a power,
11:51
she's not going to a place that you anticipate is going to have
11:54
a chance to get to a Final Four. To go there.
11:55
Because I think a lot of it certainly in my mind was your
11:59
last year, your last opportunity.
12:01
This is going to be a chance to win at the highest level, to do
12:04
that as an average. Get paid at the highest.
12:06
Level right and when we heard Oklahoma and Texas and Notre
12:09
Dame and those made sense and and those kind of programs
12:11
because the winning component and then you hear Oklahoma.
12:14
State and and that I had a paycheck, yeah.
12:17
It struck me as odd because you're leaving obviously for the
12:20
money and more power. Absolutely go get that money
12:23
when you have that opportunity, absolutely do that.
12:26
But you think of what Audie Crooks could have been if she
12:29
would have stayed at her final year and how many meet and
12:32
greets would have been and her name in the rafters.
12:34
At some point. And all the components that
12:37
would have went along if she made the decision to stay.
12:39
And it's hard to put a number behind that, what that number is
12:44
actually going to look like. So I I have no idea what she was
12:47
making. Obviously she had off the court
12:50
opportunities. A fairway springs to mind.
12:52
I don't know what they were paying her.
12:53
I have no idea. I couldn't even.
12:55
I bet you if I guess Trent I, I wouldn't even be.
12:58
Close. I could be up by 10 hundreds of
13:00
thousands. No, no, throw another.
13:01
Figure on her it's. Another zero.
13:03
Yeah. Or take one off.
13:04
I don't know. But I do know that she's going
13:06
to get paid to go to Stillwater. More power to you.
13:10
We'll see where it goes, but I wish you the best.
13:14
And again, I don't think anybody in the right mind would have
13:18
turned that opportunity down. You know, when somebody waves
13:21
that much cash in front of you, Oklahoma State, this just
13:25
regarding Oklahoma State, they've got a transfer from
13:27
Florida, from Rutgers, from Utah and from Iowa State.
13:31
So maybe they maybe they found somebody that was willing to put
13:36
a whole bunch of money behind women's hoops.
13:37
Yeah. Right.
13:38
Maybe one of T Boone's. Maybe.
13:40
Loves women's basketball. We're going to go out there and
13:42
they're going to spend. Yeah.
13:43
And they're definitely doing it. It sounds like they're they're
13:45
making that happen. No, no question about it.
13:47
All right, baseball from over the weekend.
13:49
What's jumped out to you? Well my twins getting swept is
13:51
is at the forefront. Yeah, you know what?
13:53
And they blew one yesterday. They had decent crowds.
13:57
They had 30 plus on Friday. That's good.
13:59
That is good. Really.
14:00
How you had an opportunity or ballpark they were coming out to
14:03
to give you a test run, take a test drive on the Twins and you
14:07
blew three straight to the to the Reds.
14:09
So we'll see where it goes. But yeah, good to see a really
14:12
good weekend for the Cubs as they sweep the Mets.
14:15
How about baseball? I mean, what were the odds?
14:19
And I'm sure I could have asked, I would have asked you that some
14:21
point on Friday. What are the odds that Colorado
14:25
wins the series over the Dodgers?
14:27
You probably would have got 4 to 1.
14:29
Probably, yeah, but that's exactly what happened, right?
14:32
It's just you just never know. The fact that was one of the
14:35
questions on on our chicken coop giveaway.
14:39
Here we are at the chicken coop in Ankeny was with the Dodgers
14:43
sweep the sweep the Rockies and I think 3 three people took the
14:47
went for the sweep so. The Cardinals.
14:50
There's another one. It's a great story.
14:52
Trent, it absolutely is. And when we talked about them
14:55
coming into the air, just last place, the rebuild is here.
14:58
But play some young guys, maybe give something for the fans to
15:01
get excited about. And here they are, hang around.
15:04
I mean, do they have enough to be able to hang around in a
15:07
division where you get to July and suddenly, hey, they're still
15:11
around 500, you know, maybe a couple of games above it,
15:13
something like that. And and all of a sudden we talk
15:15
about intendants for the Cardinals, maybe is about as
15:18
important as that a Major League Baseball team.
15:21
And certainly now in today's age when they're not getting the
15:23
huge money that they once did from the TV contract is
15:27
actually, but and that's for years, you know, our guy with
15:30
the Cardinals. Brian Walton.
15:32
Brian's told us that even what maybe three years ago when it,
15:36
it's starting to get a little creaky around here.
15:38
And he said they just, they can't tear down because
15:40
attendance was so important. And that was the time that
15:42
they're really kind of reinventing the way the
15:45
television looked with the regional networks and, and the
15:47
way that that went, knowing that their numbers were going down.
15:49
They couldn't afford it. Well, here they are tearing it
15:52
down. But they're playing good
15:54
baseball. And those young guys are
15:55
definitely starting to pop. And you get another one.
15:57
So I I'm interested at minimum in the Cardinals.
16:00
And that's a good story. It is.
16:02
That's a good one for us in the summer to hell yeah.
16:04
Cubs and Cardinals hang around. Yes.
16:06
I don't think they're going to the playoffs.
16:07
I think that they're going to fade at some point in the
16:09
summertime. But just, you know, tease your
16:12
fans a little bit, get them involved, get them buying
16:14
tickets. And I think that's what they're
16:17
doing so far. Any NBA or NHL thing?
16:19
Catcher, I I know you were busy with the wedding and playing
16:22
golf, etcetera. Did did you play in the NBA
16:24
before you left? I did, yeah.
16:26
I got got home in a couple of ones.
16:28
How about the Lakers, that performance and when they were,
16:32
I mean, some of the underdog numbers too, were just
16:33
ridiculous. How big of an underdog they were
16:36
against just in that series against the Rockers, Rockets,
16:38
not knowing what's going to happen with Luca and the way
16:40
that that played out, was able to watch a little bit of the
16:43
Timberwolves game. They led for a while, yeah.
16:47
Absolutely. Got got right back in that
16:49
they're in the fourth quarter and Denver just had a response.
16:51
No, Joker, She's just too good. He's just so damn good.
16:55
Stanley Cup playoffs were great. I was really impressed by the
16:57
Minnesota Wild taking it to Dallas right out of the jump,
17:00
beating them the way they did. They'll play Game 2 tonight.
17:03
That's an 830 puck drop, so that means 850 in all likelihood by
17:08
the time that thing gets going. But man, if the Wild can find a
17:12
way to come home to come home to zip for Game 3 of this series,
17:16
it'd be great. Buffalo haven't been in the
17:19
playoffs since 2011. Their place was bananas last
17:22
night, fall down to nothing, come roaring back and win 4 to
17:26
all of their goals scored in the in the third period.
17:29
So that was really cool to watch.
17:31
But yeah, I mean 3 seconds into the Stanley Cup playoffs, the 2
17:34
captains, Caroline is captain and Brady Kuchuk drop the gloves
17:37
and away we go. The Stanley Cup playoffs are
17:40
underway. That's exactly what you'd
17:42
anticipate in the hockey. Certainly from Kuchuk.
17:44
I mean we go back to The Four Seasons against Canada for the
17:48
gold medal. That's exactly how that started.
17:50
The 2 captains looked at each other and stall and said OK and
17:53
Kuchuk he wanted to do it and boom the playoffs were underway.
17:57
So that was pretty. Good.
17:58
Yeah, I watched a lot of Buffalo and just luckily turned it on.
18:01
It was 21. At the time it was 2 nothing and
18:05
then 21223242. Yeah, it was 21 when I flipped
18:08
it on. So.
18:09
So on the plane you were watching.
18:10
Yeah, I was able to do. That So what airline?
18:12
American free Wi-Fi didn't even have to pay for it.
18:15
So and then there was, it's not like Southwest where they had a
18:18
DIRECTV link. Right, Yeah, I just had my iPad.
18:20
I got you. Yep.
18:21
And just signed in with my DIRECTV account.
18:24
And so you could watch your DIRECTV channels on the.
18:27
Yes, it's a wonderful thing. It was awesome.
18:30
So I was able to do that bouncing back and forth a little
18:32
bit with the Peacock app and jumping out with that because I
18:35
couldn't get local stations up. Oh, you couldn't.
18:37
In the air, DIRECTV couldn't see where I was.
18:40
Well, that's because when I'm when I fly Southwest and I'm
18:43
flying on a Sunday, I get whatever New York's getting.
18:46
Oh, yes, yeah, right. Yeah.
18:48
All the New York channels. So I I watch the Giants or The
18:51
Jets. Speaking of that, we're here for
18:53
our a 2026 NFL Draft. We're doing it on a Monday
18:57
because Russ Carew from Graphite Construction, he is fortunate
19:01
enough to be representing the Chiefs in the, I don't know if
19:05
they call it a mosh pit or a fan pit, but if you watch the show
19:09
camera from the stage and they've got all of this, what do
19:12
they call it? Inner circle?
19:14
So they dress it up a little bit more, but all the teams have a
19:18
section of fans that get invited to participate.
19:21
And so Russ is going to be there and as a chief second season
19:25
ticket holder. So he's going.
19:27
That's why we're doing it on Monday.
19:29
Yeah, absolutely. And it was great last year,
19:30
Tronita. Ball it, we it is.
19:32
So we got the the draft board is up and ready to go.
19:34
We'll be making our picks going through here throughout the
19:37
afternoon. But yeah, we we got to get some
19:39
details here from Russ because this is it's one thing to be at
19:43
the draft and we went to the draft in Kansas City a couple
19:45
years ago. That was awesome.
19:46
Yeah, you remember that? Yeah.
19:47
Well, some, some of it, yeah. But this is not just He gets to
19:54
be in that group, he gets to be on stage.
19:57
So we're going to talk about that with Russ, the details that
20:00
go along with it and some really cool inside the NFL draft
20:04
features that, well, just Russ crew.
20:06
He's the only one that kind of knows him at this point and he's
20:08
going to fill us all in. And we'll do that next before we
20:11
go to break. I mentioned that it's the
20:13
keyword promotion is back for the next few weeks here on the
20:18
Des Moines Sports station one O 6.3 KXNO and anywhere on the
20:21

20:31

20:34

20:35
We'll come back. We'll get into all of the perks
20:39
that Russell waits in his group when he gets down to Pittsburgh.
20:42
Our draft is coming up. We're here until 2:00.
20:45
Miller and Condon underway on a Monday.

21:28
We'll take you until 2:00 off the bench coming up to until 5.
21:32
Sean Roberts, Lucas Strain overtime Iowa from 5:00 until
21:36
6:00. Our mock draft.
21:39
We're going to get into it momentarily here, although the
21:42
first pick shouldn't take long as that seems like it's pretty
21:46
well a given. But as Trent said, probably
21:49
going to break. This is a really cool
21:51
opportunity for our guest. Russ Guru sponsors our draft
21:54
coverage graphite construction each and every year.
21:58
And we do this mock draft. Usually you got first few years,
22:01
you're going to Miller, we don't need you.
22:02
You just stay home. But glad that you guys have
22:05
included me this year and the last year was a ball.
22:08
I had a blast. So you are going to be in
22:11
Pittsburgh, you and your wife get to go to Pittsburgh and get
22:15
to be actually participate in the draft.
22:18
So if I got it right to there's all of the teams in front of the
22:22
stage, kind of they got their own little area right And all
22:25
the Chiefs fans will gather in one place.
22:27
So kind of take us behind the scenes.
22:29
I'm guessing the NFL tells you what to wear or tells you what
22:32
not to wear maybe. So what about a couple of those
22:35
things before we get into some of the real cool details?
22:38
Every NFL team, I don't know how they all do it, but the Chiefs,
22:42
every year, they take six season ticket holders and they're
22:45
randomly selected and. And how long have you had season
22:48
tickets? Since 2004.
22:50
OK, So they take these six people and they draw their names
22:56
out of a hat and then they go in and do a background check on
22:58
them to make sure they're not like rowdy fans or problem fans,
23:01
OK? And then once they get past
23:03
that, then they send them an e-mail and say, Hey, you, you've
23:07
been chosen to go to the draft. And I assume that's how the
23:11
other teams do it. I don't know, but I assume it's
23:13
pretty similar on that concept. So then we got an e-mail saying,
23:16
Hey, you guys have been selected to go to the draft.
23:19
And I was like, what seriously? And I'm like, you picked the
23:23
biggest draft fan probably out there.
23:26
I don't know too many other people that do what we're doing
23:28
here today. So, so then I found out about
23:32
it. And then they're like, so you
23:33
will get to go backstage. So we get to go in the green
23:37
room. All of the fans that get to go,
23:41
get to go on the. Green room and this is how much
23:43
prior to the players getting there the green.
23:45
Room. So we're gonna go in the green
23:47
room on Friday, so we have our tours on Friday.
23:49
OK, so Thursday's first round is moved out by that gotcha.
23:53
Yep. So Friday we're gonna do that.
23:54
That's like mid morning. So they, they sent me an
23:57
itinerary last Friday of all the things I got to do.
24:00
So it's not just you show up and you get to go have fun.
24:02
It's like you have to be here at a certain time, like 2 hour.
24:05
I think Thursday's two hours ahead of the draft and then
24:07
Friday is 2 1/2 hours ahead of the draft starting.
24:12
And then in addition to that, so they have kind of a, some lead
24:15
up stuff. So they had last Friday or
24:17
Thursday, they had a, a conference call Zoom kind of
24:20
thing where you got on the call and they had the guys from the
24:24
NFL who organized the draft. So you have the guy who
24:27
basically administers the draft. And I got to find out a bunch of
24:29
cool information about how they do trades and how they establish
24:33
the times and kind of just interesting things that they
24:37
talked through on the process. So it was pretty cool.
24:40
I found out when they're they basically conduct a giant Zoom
24:43
call themselves for all the teams that are on and then they
24:45
mute them off and on. And so if a trade's happening,
24:49
both teams have a phone number they have to call into, They
24:51
both have to confirm the exact same information, and then the
24:54
trade happens. And when you're calling in, you
24:56
have to have your pick. So when you hear the pick is in
24:59
and the trade, no, no, no, it's already done.
25:00
When the trade is done, the pick's already done.
25:03
And so every team has a running list that's actually about two
25:07
to three picks ahead of what's actually happening.
25:10
And so you're, you're finding out way late in this process.
25:13
Right. Who was The Who was the guy that
25:15
always broke the trades? It was Woach.
25:17
Woach. Well, for the NBA.
25:19
But who was it for the NFL? There was somebody that I know
25:22
that Katel was up in arms because some.
25:25
That was ahead of Schefter. Yes.
25:27
Was it there? Maybe I'm thinking Woj in the
25:29
NBA. Yeah, he did.
25:30
He did, yes, absolutely. Now it's not just we'll get to
25:34
see in the scrum, which is cool. Yeah.
25:36
So let me go into more detail. So that they have the the draft
25:40
like when we went Trent. So the draft has kind of two
25:44
areas. They have the inner circle.
25:46
So anytime you see the people from the teams that the show on
25:49
camera that are really close to the area, those are all the
25:51
people that got selected by the team.
25:52
Studio. And about how many do you know
25:54
about how many of those people are selected?
25:56
So I'm assuming that it's similar to what the Chiefs have,
25:58
which is 6 people. So, and you bring a guess, so
26:01
12, so it'd be 32 times, yeah, 12 people there.
26:05
So, so you would have that. And then you have kind of the
26:08
masses of everyone who just showed up, which is what Trent
26:10
and I did for the 2023 draft in KC.
26:14
Do you go in a different way? Yes.
26:16
So there's a gated entrance. We have special tickets.
26:19
We have like all of the special security that we have to go
26:23
through in addition to the normal security that everyone
26:25
has. And then there's like this whole
26:27
area that's just for this inner circle.
26:30
So there's entire bars, bathrooms, foods, every.
26:33
So it's kind of like a total VIP section.
26:35
That's really cool. So in addition to that, the
26:38
teams also give you 1 experience.
26:41
So what do you mean? So you get one special
26:44
experience. Everybody, all the six part of
26:46
the six winners. OK, so.
26:47
The experience that I want, wanted and the one that I got
26:50
was when the Chiefs make their first selection and pick 9 or
26:54
wherever, if they move up or move back, I will be the person
26:57
that goes on stage. Well, I actually go behind the
26:59
scenes. I get to write down the card to
27:02
hand to the person who sews the jersey.
27:05
I get to watch them sew the jersey.
27:06
I take the jersey then, and I get a carried across from the
27:09
green room, across the stage to Roger Goodell to hand at the
27:12
player. That's.
27:13
Amazing. That really is.
27:14
I mean, you talk about AVIP experience.
27:17
Yeah, that that works. That is absolutely top of the
27:21
list. And it's in Pittsburgh, a place
27:22
you've never been. I've told you, I've been there a
27:23
couple of times. I love Pittsburgh.
27:25
And knowing you, Russ, you're gonna enjoy it.
27:27
Outside of the Steeler, fans are out.
27:28
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be a little
27:31
awkward. Pirates are out of town.
27:33
Yep, pirates are out of town. I wonder if if they work
27:37
together? On that I would.
27:38
I guess, right, probably the NFL was going there and asked the
27:41
MLB schedule maker if there's anything.
27:44
What I'm guessing probably happens whatever city it's in
27:47
that has Major League Baseball as well.
27:49
So they draft 9 and 2820. 9. 29, nine and 29 Will they make both
27:55
their picks? I think they will make both
27:58
picks. However I think it might be ones
28:01
a little earlier and ones a little later.
28:02
I think they're going. You don't think they package to
28:04
move up? I don't think so.
28:06
I think so they are at one or sorry, they're 92940 and then I
28:10
think 72. So I think pick 40 is going to
28:13
be the trade piece potentially or possibly they move, take 29
28:19
and move back with whomever they possibly trade up with.
28:22
You said you love the draft if you thought who they're going to
28:24
draft in the 1st 5 next, next year when they finish, you know
28:27
toward. There's a Bronco fan.
28:30
Oh man. Oh, first five next year.
28:33
Who would they? Pick.
28:34
I'm going to. Stay probably the kid from.
28:36
Take the Yeah, really, Smith, if they yeah, package everything
28:41
for the world for that guy, that's that's awesome.
28:44
All right, we'll get into actually making our, but we
28:46
should just get the first one out of the way, right?
28:48
I mean, does anybody not think it's Mendoza?
28:50
This seems like a foregone conclusion.
28:53
You heard anything otherwise? I mean, unless you talk with Dan
28:55
Orlovsky. Yeah, yeah.
28:57
No, I don't. I don't listen to him or talk to
28:59
him. Do you guys think though that
29:01
this is a home run? Right.
29:05
No. Right.
29:06
Where would he be in the quarterback class that your guy
29:09
went to? Ryan, third or four?
29:11
Third or 4? Drake May 2, Daniels 3.
29:15
Pennix was 4, then JJ McCarthy and then Bo Nicks.
29:19
I mean, this guys had a great. You had a great college career.
29:24
Phenomenal. I would actually take him over
29:27
most of those guys. I I actually think he's very
29:29
Jared Goff. Like I think he's got the big
29:31
arm. I think he's the intelligence.
29:33
I think he's absolutely he's. A very devout, you know,
29:37
Christian person, and very he seems.
29:39
You're not going to see his name in the the news section of the
29:42
paper. Absolutely no.
29:43
The thing that is it fair to say, maybe not the highest
29:46
ceiling, but a pretty low floor, like he's not going to be a
29:51
bust. At minimum, he's going to be
29:53
fine. Can there be that next year?
29:56
You know, development and everything else that goes along
29:58
with it? Is that a fair way to look at
29:59
it? Yeah, I think that's pretty good
30:00
evaluation. I think he's one of those guys
30:02
that's not going to come in and, you know, light the world on
30:04
fire. Obviously he's going to the
30:05
Raider. So that's going.
30:06
To be. But you know what?
30:07
I think the Raiders are getting better, I hate to say.
30:09
You say that often. No, but I do believe, I mean, if
30:12
they spend a lot of money this year and they get Crosby back
30:15
and he's one of the best defense, I mean, who would want
30:17
him back? I mean, again, it's awkward,
30:19
etcetera, etcetera. But with that quarterback, with
30:22
the new system, I think Kubiak's a good coach and he's got a
30:26
chance here. I hate to say it, but those the
30:28
the year, I mean, just go ahead and put them forth in the AFC
30:31
West maybe this year, but I think their arrow's starting to
30:34
point upward. Fair.
30:35
Yeah, I think, I think the Raiders when they take Mendoza,
30:38
maybe not year one, but I think year 2, if they continue you
30:41
with actually having a general manager who can draft players
30:44
and then some real coaching. I I felt like last year with
30:47
Pete Carroll was just a stopgap. Yeah, it just got like game
30:50
three and he was just like, I'm just here and and they just were
30:54
kind of a lost team, which has been their MO for the last 20
30:57
years almost. While the pick is in, are we
30:59
ready to unveil? Yeah.
31:01
They're the 1st. Pick here in the 2026 KX&O
31:06
Graphite Construction Group mock draft and there it is.
31:10
No surprise it is men he is going to the Raiders after at
31:17
Cal Ken and I both really liked him.
31:19
Yep, and that season. We also like Psychopolitelli.
31:23
I just said throw that in because I could say it.
31:24
I practice. Yes, yes you did.
31:26
Yes you did. You nailed that one.
31:27
So that's the easy one. Should we jump into #2 Ken ready
31:30
to go the. Well, I think it's Reese, don't
31:32
you? Reese or Bailey?
31:35
I think it's Reece. I mean, everything I've seen
31:37
recently is Reece, another guy that I don't know if he's going
31:41
to hit the upside of a guy that's getting 17/18/19 sacks a
31:46
year, but he's going to be really good.
31:48
He's an athletic freak. Your thoughts, Reece at this?
31:51
Time. Is this where the Chiefs might
31:52
package to go to or do you don't think they go up to two?
31:54
I think the Chiefs, if they're going to go anywhere, is
31:57
somewhere either Arizona, Tennessee.
32:00
I think you need to get out of the Giants, especially with the
32:02
Dexter Lawrence move that happened over the weekend.
32:04
Do you like that move? I think for the Giants, I think
32:09
it's a great move. I think for the Bengals, it
32:10
doesn't make a lot of sense. You're taking a 29 year old guy
32:13
that had half a sack last year and you're going to go and trade
32:16
your entire, you know, front of. Your yeah, he takes on a couple
32:19
of guys from that position. He's a space heater.
32:22
I look the the Bengals they need defense in the worst rate,
32:27
right? What would they have got at 10?
32:30
Hard to say. I don't think they would have
32:32
got sexy Dexy at 10 or any kind of player like.
32:35
Him. I think you get Caleb Downs at
32:37
10 and then you're looking like, hey, we got a secondary that
32:39
actually is not a wet blanket. Let's unveil it #2.
32:43
So who's making these? Who's put these people in?
32:46
Yeah. How did how did we come up with
32:47
actually? Is this a consensus of how many
32:50
mock drafts? So this is kind of like we did
32:54
last year where we went and found, well, I didn't, so I
32:58
don't know these picks. Just to make sure we're clear.
33:01
My wife went and found the consensus picks from all the
33:04
fans and there was a percentage of how many players were taken
33:08
at each position. And so this is the number one
33:11
consensus pick for each team at that draft.
33:14
Slot and I got to believe that most of the fans had Mendoza
33:17
right was there was at the highest percentage by a by a
33:20
mile yeah yeah in the night all right let's see the pick the
33:23
pick is in for the New York Jets and they're taking our belt
33:26
Reese we're off and running here boys we're 2 for two for two
33:30
things out absolutely are there trades in this as we go along or
33:36
no trades OK no trades because I.
33:38
Think got the the change with the Giants over the weekend.
33:41
Yeah. Right, this might be a place
33:45
where Arizona's looking to to to gain some picks.
33:49
But let in this, in this scenario, they keep the pick.
33:54
Where do you want to? Go Texas Tech.
33:57
Yeah, David Bailey I think is what pretty close to the
34:01
consensus at this point, Russ. Yeah, I think David Bailey, I
34:04
mean, he's a true pass rusher. He's the only true pass rusher
34:08
in this draft. Arvo Reese's, he's at, you know,
34:12
3-4 outside linebacker. So he's got the pass rush juice.
34:16
He's needs to put on a little more weight if you're going to
34:18
move him to a four, three corner or even 43 defensive end.
34:22
He's got the size. He's 64.
34:24
So I I think that Arvo Reese on The Jets is a great pick.
34:27
I think the Cardinals just need so much.
34:29
I mean, you got Marvin Harrison junior.
34:31
Do they are they going to keep him high?
34:35
Well. I I think it would make sense to
34:37
keep him, but at the same token you don't have a quarterback to
34:40
throw to him. That's just it.
34:41
Yeah, which is why I think that this pick is perhaps going to be
34:44
traded out for a next year's pick because they the next
34:48
year's quarterback class is really good.
34:49
I mean, do you have Simpson in the first round?
34:52
What will there will there be a point here in the next hour and
34:55
10 minutes that we pick Simpson? Do you think I.
34:58
Don't think Ty Simpsons a first. Draft.
35:01
I don't either, but you know how the NFL is with the I know gotta
35:04
have a quarterback. I know.
35:05
I think he's very Brock pretty like.
35:08
Well, that works. Yeah, yeah.
35:10
And I think Brock should have honestly gone in like a for
35:12
sure. Guy is kind of.
35:14
What I said coming out in the draft.
35:16
So I, I think Ty Simpson's kind of that similar style.
35:18
I just don't think he knocked your socks off.
35:20
And last year he was injured like half the year.
35:21
So I mean, the first half of the year he was great.
35:23
He played really well. And then he started getting
35:24
injured and his accuracy went down and then he just kind of
35:26
fell off a Cliff. So I I think that's really gonna
35:30
hurt him in the strap. Not to mention he just doesn't
35:32
have a big arm. Yeah.
35:33
Right. Let's take Bailey.
35:34
Let's take Bailey's. Here's gonna go.
35:35
David Bailey is our choice. Who are the Cardinals taking?
35:39
Wow, an offensive lineman. The kid for Mana Goa is at Mawa
35:43
Goa. Mawa, Goa.
35:44
Yeah, they won online out of. Miami played really well in the
35:48
playoff, yeah. Is he it was him or Fano that
35:51
were going to be the first offensive lineman that were
35:53
chosen. Is he a no doubt about it, left
35:56
tackle? I don't think so.
35:58
But that's okay. I, I, I understand you have that
36:01
kind of giraffe equity and certainly a three you want that
36:04
but offensive line. Cardinal fans will Boo fellas
36:07
Oh, this is the they want sexy position, right?
36:11
And an offensive line look, I like the pick I.
36:13
David Bailey Jeremiah Love would have been the.
36:16
Jeremiah loves going I I. Mean that, yeah, I think
36:18
Jeremiah loves going next to the Titans.
36:19
But I think this year for the offensive line, I have a feeling
36:23
we're going to see a lot of offensive line taken.
36:25
And I'll be honest, I think the offensive line is kind of
36:28
disappointing compared to years past.
36:31
I think you've got the top two guys really need to be moved to
36:34
right tackle or guard and then the other guys are really raw
36:39
players. Do you have Proctor going in the
36:40
first round? I assume we do, yeah.
36:44
I'm sure we will for sure. All right, let's.
36:46
We'll have things to say about that when that comes.
36:47
Let's let's get through pick five and then we'll take our
36:50
break. So pick #4 I think it's love.
36:53
Love, Russ. Yeah.
36:55
Anybody else? I mean, you've got.
36:57
It and these are fans that are making the picks right.
36:59
These are consensus of the fans that that responded to their
37:04
team and Titan fans came in with.
37:08
Is that as much of A? Is that the second biggest lock
37:10
after Mendoza? I don't know as far as as far
37:16
as. It seems to be picked.
37:17
I mean, I, I looked at like 20 mock drafts and every one of
37:20
them have loved it. Loved it.
37:21
For I mean they have no, no, no real weapons on offense.
37:24
I mean Calvin Ridley and that's it.
37:25
So I mean you've got a second year quarterback who got injured
37:28
his first year. You've got a total rebuild.
37:31
They they do need a ton of secondary help, but I don't
37:34
think at pick four you're going to go and take Mansour to lane.
37:37
So I, I just don't see that happening there.
37:39
So I, I think Jeremiah Love is like the Bijan Robinson Jamir
37:44
Gibbs of this draft. And he's faster than Jamir
37:47
Gibbs. He's bigger than Jamir Gibbs,
37:48
has better hands than Jamir Gibbs.
37:50
It's pretty good. Like, where do you go wrong
37:53
there? You you get your quarterback a
37:55
weapon and you actually look like you're on a respectable
37:58
offense. All right, so this is going to
37:59
be tricky because we're doing the Giants next at 5.
38:02
The Giants I think could go wide receiver here or I think they
38:06
could go defensive player here, but they might go defense 1st
38:10
and come around again and tend to take a wide receiver.
38:13
They also have no secondary keep that.
38:15
They have no secondary. So is is is this a place for
38:18
downs maybe? I think daily I, I think this is
38:22
David Bailey and I think pick 10's Caleb Downs.
38:24
And if you do that and you're the Giants, you walk away from
38:26
this draft and you're just smiles.
38:27
Yeah. John Harbaugh's loving his life,
38:29
yes. But when we did this, we didn't
38:32
know that Bailey had slipped, though, right?
38:34
Fans didn't know Bailey had slipped.
38:35
All right, let's take. Yeah, let's take a look.
38:38
I love Tate. Sunny Styles, another guy I
38:41
loved. I didn't think he'd go that far.
38:43
Yeah. Ohio State, you know, there's
38:45
people that think that he's the best player in the draft.
38:47
I mean, you look at him athletically, it is insane.
38:50
He is one of one for athletic testing.
38:53
Yeah. I mean, the guy is, you know,
38:55
the, the comparison is really Fred Warner where he's that
38:57
three down can play anything Swiss army knife middle
39:00
linebacker. So I honestly think you can move
39:03
him to safety even if you wanted to because he's a converted
39:05
safety. I I just think that guy could
39:07
play any position you really wanted to work with him on.
39:10
If you got his body right, you know you can maybe even move
39:13
him. Defensive end.
39:13
Browns are going to be pissed off.
39:14
They thought that they were going to no.
39:16
Browns need offensive line. They have nothing.
39:18
I mean, literally, I think it might be Ken and.
39:20
Year and year over there all. Right, we'll take the time out,
39:23
we'll come back, we'll finish our let's get, we'll get through
39:26
the next 5 minimum when we come back on the other.
39:30
At #9. Oh my God, I'm anxious to see
39:34
this. Who's the one guy in the draft
39:35
that you? It's not going to be a top ten
39:37
pick that you got your eye on. Oh, Brandon Sisay, South
39:41
Carolina corner. I think Chiefs, if they have
39:43
pick 40, I want him there. Pick 40, so he's a second
39:46
rounder. He's not going to go on the
39:47
first day. Yeah, I mean, if you're saying
39:49
get rid of first day guys, because like if I get first day
39:51
guys, give me Ruben Bayne Junior above all else and I will be
39:53
happy. What about his arms?
39:55
I don't care. Have you did you watch the?
39:57
I did. I mean, that guy is a.
39:59
Monster, I noticed. Semifinals even.
40:01
Better. I'll take a time out.
40:03
Come back. We're live at the Chicken Coop.
40:05
Miller and Condon. It's our annual mock draft
40:07
graphite construction sponsors. If you're in the area, come on,
40:10
stop by, have some grub. We're glad you're with us as
40:13
we'll take you until 2:00 on the Iowa Sports Radio Network.
40:32
I'm Miller Condon. Welcome back, Iowa Sports Radio
40:34
Network. Trenton, Ken with you until 2O
40:37
clock. Russ Carrou from Graphite
40:39
Construction is with us. We're doing our annual mock
40:42
draft. The results of this mock draft
40:44
based on a fan survey. All of the fan bases in the NFL
40:48
responded a good selection of them 72,000.
40:51
This was put together by fan sided.
40:53
So we make the pick and then we see if we get what the fans were
40:57
asking for and we'll do that through one through 32.
41:00
We've had the first five repeating.
41:02
Mendoza goes 1. Reese 2.
41:04
Managoa butchering his last name, The offensive lineman for
41:07
Miami's in Arizona, Cardinal Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame to
41:11
Tennessee and Sonny Styles has come off the board.
41:14
The first of two picks for the Giants.
41:15
Eagles pick #5 All right, boys, it's the Browns.
41:18
We've got like 7 minutes to get through 5 picks, so we may have
41:22
to scoot a little bit. What do you think?
41:23
Wide receiver, offensive lineman?
41:26
Where you going to go, Russ? I'm going to stick back with my
41:28
concept of they need offensive line.
41:30
They are. Thano.
41:32
Yeah, I mean, he's the he's right tackle, he's huge long
41:36
term starter at Utah. I think that's probably a good
41:39
one. I because I think Lomu's
41:41
probably a little early Monroe feeling might be another good
41:44
option. But I I think everyone loves
41:46
Phantom more than me so I'm guessing maybe?
41:48
That's now the fans didn't know Carnell Tate was still on the
41:51
board, which would have been certainly tempting at this
41:54
point. What do you think?
41:55
Trent, I think it's Cardinal Tate.
41:57
That's where I'm going to go. They're going to go Tate.
41:58
Cleveland. They love the Ohio State guys.
41:59
I think it's going to be Tate. All right, here we go.
42:01
Fix 6 and you're right on the money TC.
42:04
They love their Buckeyes, and then the Buckeyes disappoint
42:06
when they go to Cleveland. All right, Washington is up
42:10
next. The Commanders.
42:11
I thought that this if Love got past Tennessee at 4, I don't
42:14
think he gets past Washington at 7:00.
42:17
So when we get to Washington, they need an offensive lineman.
42:21
What else does Washington need? They get their quarterback back.
42:25
They could probably use some help on the defensive front.
42:27
What do you think they go, Russ? They were just slow last year.
42:29
I mean, they were just that I think they were the oldest team
42:31
in the NFL last year again. So I think they need just
42:35
frankly on defense, they need speed, speed and more speed.
42:38
So I I think if you're looking. At edge rusher, do they take?
42:41
Bain here. I think you take Bailey.
42:44
I think Bailey, too, I best player on the board, yeah.
42:47
I think Bailey makes the most. Sense.
42:48
All right, let's see pick seven. Caleb Downs, Great player.
42:53
Great player, yes? Look at those.
42:55
Award winner last year. Look at those Buckeyes.
42:59
He's going to play a long time in the league.
43:01
Three of the top seven players from Ohio State and they
43:03
couldn't beat Indiana. Yeah, back-to-back to back 5-6
43:06
and seven and they couldn't beat Indiana.
43:08
All right, New Orleans, we shall go.
43:11
The cornerback from LSUA. Lot of blocks have Delane going
43:15
to there. Going there, the Saints, they've
43:18
got their quarterback, I think they think, do they?
43:21
Chuck's been good. He was better than better.
43:23
Than anybody thought. I mean we watched them.
43:25
How many stops did he make in college?
43:27
Oregon Texas Tech. Those are, I thought another
43:30
one. I think there is one more.
43:31
I thought there was one more are those two for sure.
43:33
It might have been Trent, but those two for sure.
43:38
All right, let's see. Let's see.
43:40
New Orleans at #8 is going with Bailey.
43:42
There's David Bailey there we. Go So these fans are pretty
43:44
smart, you know it, because even though there was, they don't
43:48
know what trades are going to be available.
43:50
I don't think Bailey's going to fall to #8 but you both did and
43:54
the fans did the fans and you were on the same page.
43:57
Bailey from Texas Tech off the board at #8 All right, Russ,
44:01
your guys still there. I don't think we need to take
44:04
too much time even talking about Ruben Bain forever.
44:07
Is he going to be the pick at #9?
44:09
Yes, Ruben May, junior to the Chiefs.
44:10
Let's go. They would love that.
44:12
And you will be. How big is your smile going to
44:15
be as you're on stage handing the commissioner the jersey of
44:19
Ruben Bain? Man, I am going to be stoked.
44:21
Just stoked. It's no no idea.
44:23
Now what if? I might not be able to take the
44:24
smile off my face. What if you walk up there and
44:27
it's somebody that you did not want the cheese to?
44:29
Take So will you know? Will you see the back of the?
44:31
You'll know. Yeah, I I literally am writing
44:33
on the card to hand to the person to write the name on the
44:36
jersey. Yeah, it's wild.
44:38
I know, it's wild. So before.
44:39
That I don't get a videotape, Any of it.
44:41
I can't. No cell phones are allowed.
44:42
Back Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the NFL Network, whoever
44:45
watching it there, watching on in the ESPN, you'll have had
44:48
that news for what, 5 minutes ahead of that?
44:51
Probably, yeah. That's, that's cool.
44:53
Let's finish up this segment boys.
44:55
Let's get pick #10 the Giants, it's their second pick, so they
44:58
went defense with pick number with their 5th overall pick.
45:02
There's no way in hell that Fan Sided knew had any in the
45:05
inkling. So is this essentially
45:08
Cincinnati's pick we're unveiling right now?
45:10
They don't need a wide receiver. The Giants need a wide
45:13
receivers, but they're going to go defense since he's got to go
45:17
defense here, don't they? Well, I think the Giants have to
45:20
go. And I think since he and the
45:21
Giants have similar secondary issues, so I I would think you
45:26
you still take the top corner in the draft, which is Delane.
45:29
I mean, I think this is the spot where he starts to go is
45:31
somewhere between 10 and 13. Yeah.
45:34
I mean, you're looking at the Cowboys right there who need
45:37
corner help desperately. Do you think they're going to
45:39
move up? Because that was a big talker
45:40
last week. I think so.
45:42
I I think you've got too many picks between 12 and 20 and you
45:46
have teams like Arizona who just need everything.
45:49
So how old's Sherry Jones? 80 something, right?
45:52
Yeah, I think so. Been a long time since they've
45:54
been there. Who's the pick at #10 This is
45:56
the Cincinnati pick and they're taking the lane to the
45:59
cornerback. You're spot on, spot on.
46:01
All right, we've got 22 picks to go with my math, right?
46:06
Yes. Right, flaunting my Canadian
46:08
education. 83 for Jerry Jones. 83 is he hour 2 Coming up next,
46:13
Miller and Cons are live draft sponsored by Graphite
46:15
Construction with the chicken Koopenag.
46:17
Can he come on back?
