Transcript
- 0:13Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, Chuck voum Ashley Ryan with you here
- 0:16Speaker 1: on this lovely Thursday morning.
- 0:19Speaker 2: But we've had some great weather here as of late.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's been amazing.
- 0:23Speaker 2: It's been amazing.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Just ushering in the Masters, which is taking place as
- 0:28Speaker 1: we speak, day number one from Augusta, and.
- 0:31Speaker 2: I see jose Maria Ola.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Thabo at the top of the leaderboard right now. I
- 0:39Speaker 1: saw ja Ola Thabo this morning about an hour ago,
- 0:42Speaker 1: and I thought it.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Was his son. It must be his son. I thought
- 0:46Speaker 2: it was a joke. No, I've wrote it down in
- 0:49Speaker 2: my diary and left about it later that night. Instead,
- 0:54Speaker 2: it's the old Man and his cigarettes. Is he still
- 0:56Speaker 2: wearing the ponytail?
- 0:57Speaker 3: I believe so. I haven't seen him on TV this morning.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't had an access to that just yet,
- 1:02Speaker 2: but it is underway.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Sam Burn's also at two under with the Old Man,
- 1:08Speaker 1: and so that's the start to your day at Augusta.
- 1:11Speaker 1: A lot of the top players have yet to tee
- 1:13Speaker 1: off this morning, but we'll keep you up to date
- 1:16Speaker 1: right here on Chuck and Buck in the mornings, including
- 1:19Speaker 1: live updates from Augusta twenty after the hour, every single
- 1:23Speaker 1: hour all day long. As long as we see fit
- 1:27Speaker 1: your other headlines on your frost brewed Corslight chuse Jill
- 1:30Speaker 1: headline portion of the show. The Mariners lost again yesterday.
- 1:35Speaker 1: They can't score runs. They're playing bad baseball. They are
- 1:37Speaker 1: four and nine, They've lost five straight games, only three
- 1:40Speaker 1: runs scored their entire time in Texas, and they return
- 1:45Speaker 1: home for a series with the Houston Astros starting tomorrow night.
- 1:49Speaker 2: It will be a.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Four game series. It'll be a four game homestand and
- 1:52Speaker 1: it's back on the road to San Diego. But certainly
- 1:55Speaker 1: some things to figure out, especially on the offensive side
- 1:59Speaker 1: of the because the pitching's been outstanding. Was again yesterday
- 2:03Speaker 1: with Brian wu Ron Francis stepped down at the Kraken,
- 2:08Speaker 1: the guy that was the architect for the start of
- 2:12Speaker 1: the Kraken franchise history, has since stepped into a different
- 2:17Speaker 1: role within the organization and now is completely out of
- 2:21Speaker 1: the organization. Very likable person, a legend in the hockey sport,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and I think did a lot of good things. But
- 2:29Speaker 1: somebody had to lose their job, and I don't think
- 2:33Speaker 1: he's going to be the only one this offseason. This
- 2:36Speaker 1: cracking organization, this ownership group, toddli WICKI. They don't sit
- 2:40Speaker 1: around and accept mediocrity, and unfortunately that's what we've been
- 2:43Speaker 1: dealing with now for a few years with the crack,
- 2:46Speaker 1: and so Ron Francis is out. Meanwhile, the crack and
- 2:49Speaker 1: face elimination from the playoff picture tonight at home against
- 2:52Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Knights.
- 2:53Speaker 2: They'll drop the puck there at seven o'clock.
- 2:56Speaker 1: So a lot going on here today, including a big
- 2:59Speaker 1: tree I would like to propose for the Mariners to
- 3:03Speaker 1: make right now, coming up at seven point thirty. But
- 3:06Speaker 1: it is Draftmas season and we haven't talked to any
- 3:09Speaker 1: draft all morning from the actual NFL Draft day, and
- 3:13Speaker 1: so here on Chuck and Buck, we invented a holiday
- 3:15Speaker 1: a few years ago called Draftmas. It's our countdown to
- 3:19Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. To me, it's like the Christmas. It's
- 3:24Speaker 1: the version of Christmas that we have in the sports world.
- 3:26Speaker 1: So much anticipation, so many rumors, so much doubt as
- 3:31Speaker 1: to those presents that will be lying under the tree
- 3:33Speaker 1: for the Seahawks in two weeks from now, that we
- 3:37Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on this, just like we
- 3:39Speaker 1: spend a lot of time hyping up Christmas before the
- 3:42Speaker 1: actual day, going to parties, going to festivities, you know,
- 3:46Speaker 1: exchanging gifts with friends, co workers, all sorts of things.
- 3:49Speaker 1: So why not combine one of our favorite things Christmas
- 3:54Speaker 1: with another of our favorite things, the NFL Draft.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Happy Draftmas everyone.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Happy Draftmas, and peace be with you during this draft season.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Yeah, let's not forget what's important about the NFL. That's
- 4:05Speaker 2: what I'm saying, right, the piece and stuff.
- 4:08Speaker 3: That's right.
- 4:09Speaker 2: We have one segment that we do.
- 4:11Speaker 1: It's to become a staple of our Draft Miss celebration,
- 4:14Speaker 1: and that is the Draftmas catalog at Thumps at my
- 4:17Speaker 1: doorstep every year at about this time. And then I
- 4:21Speaker 1: go over a portion of the Draftmas catalog every other
- 4:25Speaker 1: day with Ashley and typically Bucky here on the radio show.
- 4:29Speaker 1: And then they, just like some of us did with
- 4:33Speaker 1: our moms when we were little kids, they will Yeah,
- 4:37Speaker 1: you circle something in the Draft Miss and the catalog that.
- 4:39Speaker 2: You wish for for that particular draft.
- 4:43Speaker 3: H And I always wanted a washing machine?
- 4:45Speaker 2: Yeah is that right?
- 4:47Speaker 3: No, not really catalog.
- 4:49Speaker 4: There were so many things to look through before you
- 4:50Speaker 4: got to the gifts.
- 4:52Speaker 2: So thick, that's true. They really were doing a sales job. Yeah,
- 4:56Speaker 2: they were Yeah.
- 4:57Speaker 1: So we have the catalog process and and Ashley, at
- 5:01Speaker 1: the end of a presentation that I'm about to make,
- 5:03Speaker 1: is going to circle one of the individuals in this
- 5:07Speaker 1: particular position and doesn't mean that she's going to commit
- 5:11Speaker 1: herself to it, but she's putting together her own wish
- 5:14Speaker 1: list for this year's NFL draft, where the Seahawks have
- 5:17Speaker 1: just four selections right now, the last picks in the first,
- 5:20Speaker 1: second and third round being the highlight picks, and so
- 5:23Speaker 1: she has seven schneiderbucks to spend. There is a dollar
- 5:27Speaker 1: value placed next to each of the receivers that I'm
- 5:29Speaker 1: going to highlight, and I can't get to them all.
- 5:33Speaker 1: So we're just going to pretty much take an individual
- 5:36Speaker 1: from each of the financial brackets and go over them
- 5:38Speaker 1: right now. So let's do it. Let's talk about the
- 5:40Speaker 1: wide receivers available in this draft.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Uh.
- 5:43Speaker 1: It starts with Carnel Tate six two nine two out
- 5:45Speaker 1: of Ohio State, and I realized he had a really
- 5:48Speaker 1: bad forty time at the combine, one of the five
- 5:51Speaker 1: worst at his position, a four five three forty, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: that surprised a lot of people. There's also been a
- 5:57Speaker 1: little bit of controversy about whether or not he really
- 6:00Speaker 1: did clock four or five, three or not. But I'm
- 6:04Speaker 1: not really all that worried about it, and it doesn't
- 6:06Speaker 1: sound like NFL general managers are either. This is wide
- 6:10Speaker 1: receiver university Ohio State, and if you saw Ohio State
- 6:14Speaker 1: play this year, you definitely saw a playmaker in Carnell Tate.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Acrobatic grabs, wins at fifty to fifty balls like I
- 6:23Speaker 1: don't even know if Jeremiah Smith won at fifty to
- 6:25Speaker 1: fifty balls like Carnell Tate does. He certainly doesn't look
- 6:29Speaker 1: slow on tape, and he makes big plays down the field,
- 6:32Speaker 1: So maybe he is a little bit slow in the
- 6:35Speaker 1: forty time, but as long as he's.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Making big plays, what does it matter?
- 6:40Speaker 1: A man with Jeremiah Smith on the other side of him,
- 6:43Speaker 1: Tate played his entire college career is nothing more than
- 6:46Speaker 1: a wide receiver two. But there are many that believe
- 6:49Speaker 1: he has wide receiver one upside now that he'll be
- 6:52Speaker 1: out of Jeremiah Smith's big shadow and a wide receiver
- 6:56Speaker 1: two floor. I mean, if that's his role at the
- 6:58Speaker 1: next level, that's still a very preductive role, which is
- 7:01Speaker 1: why despite his disappointing forty time Tait is again on
- 7:05Speaker 1: the rise up draft boards. Some are speculating he could
- 7:09Speaker 1: be a top five pick before he stops rising. And
- 7:13Speaker 1: that's why he's going to cost you five Schneiderbucks. If
- 7:16Speaker 1: you want to go up from thirty two to get
- 7:19Speaker 1: a Carnel Tait, then it's going to cost you. Of course,
- 7:22Speaker 1: this is the Seahawks and they really don't need a
- 7:24Speaker 1: wide receiver right now, so it doesn't really seem to
- 7:27Speaker 1: be in the offing.
- 7:28Speaker 2: No, but you have to highlight the best guy at
- 7:30Speaker 2: every group.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Got it.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Let's go to Mackay Lemon.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Four Schneider Bucks for Mackay Lemon, five eleven d and
- 7:36Speaker 1: ninety two pound wide receiver out of USC. The Trojan
- 7:39Speaker 1: is drawing understandable comparisons to Aman Ross Saint Brown. He
- 7:43Speaker 1: kind of looks like him. He's the same size at him,
- 7:46Speaker 1: same school, same skill set. If that's the case, I
- 7:50Speaker 1: take him in the top five. That's how good a'man
- 7:52Speaker 1: Ross Saint Brown is. Of course, Lemon is a dick,
- 7:58Speaker 1: and so that could stop you from doing it, or
- 8:02Speaker 1: at least he's doing his best to come off that way.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Here in the draft process, Lemon made headlines for his
- 8:08Speaker 1: horrible interviews during the combine, not just bad, but seemingly
- 8:14Speaker 1: deliberately desperately trying to come off cold, short, dismissive, and
- 8:20Speaker 1: too cool for the room. Then he doubled down on it.
- 8:24Speaker 1: When given a chance to sort of clear the air,
- 8:26Speaker 1: he said, Nope, that's me.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Draft me if you wish well, I just got to
- 8:31Speaker 3: be me.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Shador Sanders dropped from round one to round five for
- 8:35Speaker 1: similar conduct, and I mean, I don't get why he's
- 8:39Speaker 1: not being trashed as much. I mean, maybe not as much.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I mean, let's face at Sanders as a quarterback, and
- 8:45Speaker 1: that's face of the franchise stuff, and wide receiver ones
- 8:48Speaker 1: have long been successful.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Even if they are divas.
- 8:51Speaker 1: If that's what he's trying to portray, then I'm just
- 8:54Speaker 1: a I'm just an Antonio Brown diva type. Antonio Brown
- 8:58Speaker 1: had great years in the nash Football League before his
- 9:02Speaker 1: divaness caught up to him. So maybe that's what he's
- 9:05Speaker 1: trying to portray. I'm not saying that he should be
- 9:08Speaker 1: as questioned as Shador Sanders, who handled the draft process similarly.
- 9:12Speaker 3: But he should be knocked for it somewhat as I
- 9:14Speaker 3: would think so.
- 9:15Speaker 4: And it doesn't seem like anyone really has even talked
- 9:18Speaker 4: about it. I mean there was a couple stories here
- 9:19Speaker 4: and there, but then everyone was like, all right, moving on.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I think maybe they just accept that that comes with
- 9:24Speaker 1: the territory sometimes with wide receivers. I don't think it's
- 9:27Speaker 1: going to urn his draft stock. I think he's going
- 9:29Speaker 1: to go middle of the first round, and so it's
- 9:33Speaker 1: for Schneider bucks from where you're at right now at
- 9:37Speaker 1: thirty two, which would be three Schneider bucks for that pick,
- 9:40Speaker 1: and so you'd have to give up something in order
- 9:42Speaker 1: to move up the draft.
- 9:43Speaker 2: They're not going to do that, especially enough for him.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I hope, yeah, exactly three Schneider bucks will get you
- 9:48Speaker 1: local product. Denzel Boston six foot four inches tall, two
- 9:51Speaker 1: hundred and twelve pounds. Of course, out of U dub
- 9:53Speaker 1: Denzel did not show well at the combine, and not
- 9:56Speaker 1: just because he didn't run the forty, which raised some
- 9:59Speaker 1: red flash. He also dropped a lot of passes in
- 10:02Speaker 1: the drills and seemed a bit disinterested in the process himself.
- 10:05Speaker 2: But tape don't lie, and.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Boston is a big, smooth receiver who produced in college
- 10:11Speaker 1: as we all know, and on occasion took over games
- 10:15Speaker 1: for the Huskies, especially this past year. His height, his length,
- 10:18Speaker 1: his leaping ability thirty five inch vert by the way,
- 10:21Speaker 1: at six four, well, it makes him a weapon above coverage,
- 10:27Speaker 1: which on something that doesn't normally get discussed a lot,
- 10:29Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald could kill you above coverage because even if
- 10:33Speaker 1: you could blanket him, Larry Fitzgerald can go above any
- 10:38Speaker 1: cornerback or safety and dominate that air space. That's something
- 10:42Speaker 1: that Boston probably has the ability to do as well,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and it comes in handy in the red zone and
- 10:48Speaker 1: particularly in the end zone. And so Denzel Boston is
- 10:52Speaker 1: being described as a first round pick, maybe not a
- 10:55Speaker 1: lock for the first round, which is why actually there's
- 10:58Speaker 1: a chance that he might slip the third. And if
- 11:01Speaker 1: the Seahawks were interested in a different type of receiver,
- 11:05Speaker 1: a six' four to twelve type guy that they really
- 11:08Speaker 1: don't have in their, room then maybe you would kick
- 11:12Speaker 1: the tires on A Denzel boston despite the lack of.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Need, YEAH i mean you still you always.
- 11:16Speaker 4: Have they always say you look at the best players
- 11:18Speaker 4: available regardless and then you figure it, out, Right, yeah best.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Player on your.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Board, yeah that's the way you. Operate they don't operate like,
- 11:24Speaker 1: that but they all say they operate like.
- 11:26Speaker 3: That say they.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Do i'm gonna give you another three dollars player K
- 11:29Speaker 1: c conceptsi own six, foot one hundred and ninety six
- 11:31Speaker 1: pounds out Of TEXAS a AND. M first thing that
- 11:34Speaker 1: comes to mind for me regarding conceptsi oone is his return.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Abilities he was named first Team All american his final
- 11:40Speaker 1: season as the prestigious list's best all around offensive player
- 11:44Speaker 1: that includes receiving abilities and also kicking punt return. Duties
- 11:47Speaker 1: he averaged eighteen point three yards per punt, return and
- 11:52Speaker 1: that's good for kickoff return in The National Football. League
- 11:55Speaker 1: but per punt return he was getting almost twenty yards
- 11:59Speaker 1: per touch and he had two. Touchdowns he's draw in
- 12:01Speaker 1: comparisons To Doug baldwin for his ability to separate in
- 12:05Speaker 1: space with, quickness bursts and a stop on a dime skill.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Set of, Course baldwin was an undrafted player out of
- 12:13Speaker 1: college WHERE Cbs sports Ranks conceptsion as their number one
- 12:18Speaker 1: wide receiver on the. Board so they're big. Believers not
- 12:21Speaker 1: as fast as you'd expect given the DESCRIPTION i just gave,
- 12:24Speaker 1: You but and you can forget about run. BLOCKING i
- 12:27Speaker 1: don't know if he'll ever do, it but he sounds
- 12:30Speaker 1: to me kind of like A Rashid shahed type and
- 12:34Speaker 1: maybe A Rashid shahed insurance. Policy if that's something that
- 12:38Speaker 1: interests you in your draft, Catalog Casey conceptsion is a
- 12:42Speaker 1: very interesting.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Prospect.
- 12:44Speaker 4: YEAH i remember his interviews and then people were giving
- 12:47Speaker 4: him a hard time because he had a, stutter AND
- 12:49Speaker 4: i loved his response to the people who had had a.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Stutter or who were criticizing.
- 12:56Speaker 4: Them he was, saying you, Know i'm not the only,
- 12:57Speaker 4: one so IF i can reach other people who love
- 12:59Speaker 4: that same, Problem, like let's.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Do, this all, Right Casey.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Concepcio all, Right, well The, seahawks And i've hinted on
- 13:06Speaker 1: this a couple of, times but let's get right to.
- 13:08Speaker 1: It they are presently invested in their wide receiver position more.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Than any team in THE.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Nfl they're probably not in the hunt for a wide
- 13:15Speaker 1: receiver at any point in this, draft WITH jsn locked
- 13:19Speaker 1: up And shaheed, retained And cup on a big money
- 13:22Speaker 1: deal And horton ready for a bigger role And bobo
- 13:24Speaker 1: not allowed to Leave. Seattle but if there's anything missing
- 13:28Speaker 1: from the wide receiver moved room wide receiver. Room it
- 13:32Speaker 1: is size and. Length SO i give You Chris, brazil
- 13:36Speaker 1: the second From, tennessee six feet four inches, tall one
- 13:40Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight, pounds thirty three inch, arms four
- 13:43Speaker 1: point three seven Forty he was one thousand yard receivers
- 13:46Speaker 1: first year At. Tennessee he's a classic two receiver who
- 13:50Speaker 1: might or excuse.
- 13:50Speaker 2: ME z, receiver not two. RECEIVER i misread my.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Writing CLASSIC z receiver who might struggle WITH nfl corners
- 13:57Speaker 1: putting hands on him at the line of, scrimmage but
- 13:59Speaker 1: none less gives you a, taller FAST z receiver. Type
- 14:04Speaker 1: and if there's any type that we don't have right
- 14:06Speaker 1: now on the, roster that might be. IT i will
- 14:09Speaker 1: also give you another player who's a different body type
- 14:12Speaker 1: than what we have, presently and that Is Chris bell
- 14:14Speaker 1: out Of. Louisville brazil will cost you Two schneider. Bucks
- 14:17Speaker 1: bell will only cost you a buck and a. Half
- 14:20Speaker 1: six foot, two two hundred and twenty two. Pounds Think Deebo,
- 14:24Speaker 1: samuel a, big physical wide. Target and keep in mind
- 14:29Speaker 1: our offensive coordinator Is Brian, florey who was At San
- 14:32Speaker 1: francisco and was Around Deebo samuel and might want a
- 14:36Speaker 1: type that could be effective running that power, sweep though
- 14:40Speaker 1: burst and quickness aren't exactly the fortes Of Chris. Bell
- 14:45Speaker 1: but get him crossing the field like they used to
- 14:48Speaker 1: do With samuel and get a little steam behind that
- 14:51Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty two pound frame and he can
- 14:54Speaker 1: rack up the rack that Is Chris bell's. Game so
- 14:58Speaker 1: he is coming off an acl tair this year with The,
- 15:00Speaker 1: cardinals so teams won't have the luxury of being able
- 15:04Speaker 1: to see him play in live game action until he
- 15:07Speaker 1: shows up at their. Doorstep but at a dollar and a,
- 15:09Speaker 1: half which would be your pick at the end of
- 15:11Speaker 1: the third, round maybe you would be interested In Chris
- 15:14Speaker 1: bell out Of.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Louisville two more to get To let's.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Zip through them for One schneiderbuck design stribbling out Of Ole.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Miss another big guy six to two and seven, Pounds
- 15:24Speaker 1: another big guy with speed four point three six forty.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Times he ranks as the seventh best athlete in this
- 15:31Speaker 1: group of wide, receivers and he can play fifteen starts
- 15:34Speaker 1: this season for final Four Ole.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Miss he's the.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Guy if you remember that three defensive backs From miami
- 15:40Speaker 1: tackled while the ball was on the, air on the
- 15:42Speaker 1: last play of the game and they didn't call pass. Interference,
- 15:45Speaker 1: yeah he was kind of camped under the ball and
- 15:47Speaker 1: they decided not to let him even touch. It he's
- 15:50Speaker 1: also a guy whose dad is a, marine so you
- 15:53Speaker 1: know he's got some work. Ethic mike McDonald likes that
- 15:55Speaker 1: sort of. Thing he's a good run, blocker another thing
- 15:58Speaker 1: That mike McDonald. Likes it's very important to The. Seahawks
- 16:02Speaker 1: he does have some separation, issues so that's not good
- 16:06Speaker 1: and he needs to show better fight on contested footballs
- 16:09Speaker 1: because that's going to have to be a role that
- 16:12Speaker 1: he's going to have.
- 16:13Speaker 2: To fulfill at the next.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Level Dejen stribbling should be your Early day three, selection
- 16:19Speaker 1: so that would cost you one of Your Schneider. Bucks
- 16:22Speaker 1: ashley and Finally Bryce lance fifty cents out Of North
- 16:25Speaker 1: Dakota state sixty, three two hundred and.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Four another big.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Dude but this guy can fly four point three point
- 16:31Speaker 1: forty forty one and a half inch vert eleven one broad.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Jump not the quickest cat in the, draft but, speed
- 16:37Speaker 1: leaping ability and a nose for the end. Zone he
- 16:39Speaker 1: had twenty five touchdowns At North Dakota state this past two.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Seasons and if the name sounds, familiar, yes he Is
- 16:47Speaker 1: Trey lance's little Brother Bryce. Lance so there you, go
- 16:51Speaker 1: an example from each. Page circle one for, Me.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Ashley, okay you know, what just because it's early in
- 17:00Speaker 4: this AND i can do WHAT i, want because the

- 17:11Speaker 2: know we probably can't afford.
- 17:12Speaker 4: Him, yeah but, Exactly i'm Gonna i'm still gonna circle
- 17:15Speaker 4: him because he's in my catalog AND i AND i
- 17:18Speaker 4: like the comparisons To Larry fitzgerald being a weapon above.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Coverage so let's do, it.
- 17:23Speaker 2: All, Right Denzel, boston And i'm gonna take another toll.
- 17:25Speaker 2: One i'm gonna go.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Stribbling if you're gonna take, SOMEBODY i think it's day
- 17:28Speaker 1: three that you would take a wide. RECEIVER i really
- 17:30Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna take a wide receiver, Either But Dejean,
- 17:33Speaker 1: STRIBBLING i think gives you a different dynamic than what
- 17:36Speaker 1: you currently have in your locker. Room AND i love
- 17:38Speaker 1: all that marine. Stuff all, right there you, go our
- 17:42Speaker 1: draft miss. Catalog the wide receivers have been. Discussed let's
- 17:45Speaker 1: get an update FROM. Augusta good morning to you. All,
- 17:49Speaker 1: yeah we got a very Busy thursday show for.
- 17:51Speaker 3: You.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Here It's Chuck, Poull, Ashley, Ryan bucky still. Out he
- 17:56Speaker 1: reported yesterday he's got a few medical things that he
- 17:59Speaker 1: is looking. Into doesn't mean he's, sick doesn't mean he's,
- 18:02Speaker 1: ill doesn't mean any of. That just had a few
- 18:04Speaker 1: appointments that he had to satisfy and so he needed
- 18:07Speaker 1: a little time, off so we took. It and so
- 18:09Speaker 1: No Bucky jacobson, here AND i don't know when we'll
- 18:12Speaker 1: have him, back but we'll just hope that everything turns
- 18:15Speaker 1: out right on that. Front, well we've got the ABC's
- 18:18Speaker 1: of THE, ms AND i am going to use the
- 18:20Speaker 1: abcs of THE, ms or at least the alphabet is
- 18:22Speaker 1: forcing me to use the ABC's today to propose an
- 18:26Speaker 1: early season. Trade AND i know what people they are, thinking,
- 18:29Speaker 1: say you are. Panicking, nope has nothing to do with.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Panicking i'm not. Panicking wasn't it four and? Six not
- 18:36Speaker 1: at four and?
- 18:37Speaker 2: Nine not.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Panicking but this is in more reaction TO i don't
- 18:42Speaker 1: Want Emerson hancock to leave the starting, rotation AND i
- 18:45Speaker 1: don't Want Bryce miller to be left out of this starting.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Rotation and there might be something here that you could
- 18:50Speaker 1: take advantage of that does shore up one of the
- 18:54Speaker 1: things about the twenty twenty Six mariners THAT i have
- 18:57Speaker 1: been worried about since spring. Training and so let's run through.
- 19:02Speaker 1: It ABC's we're at the end of the alphabet here,
- 19:04Speaker 1: today we're at the LETTER x and exes for. Expectations
- 19:07Speaker 1: The mariners have expectations to win or at least go
- 19:11Speaker 1: to The World series this, year and they're not going
- 19:14Speaker 1: to let a four and nine start cloud.
- 19:17Speaker 2: That for. Them this is a very important. Year they
- 19:20Speaker 2: are very.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Excited about the roster that they, have and they think
- 19:24Speaker 1: it has the capability of winning the whole damn.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Thing so nothing's going to get in the way of.
- 19:28Speaker 1: That so maybe when you're off to a little bit
- 19:30Speaker 1: of a rough start that you could assess your roster and, say,
- 19:35Speaker 1: HEY i don't have to wait to the trading.
- 19:36Speaker 2: DEADLINE i gotta make a deal right.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Now another team that had huge expectations coming into this
- 19:41Speaker 1: season is our trade, partner The Chicago. Cubs The Chicago
- 19:45Speaker 1: cubs also have eyes on The Ultimate. PRIZE i, mean
- 19:49Speaker 1: they're not anywhere close to being as favorite as The,
- 19:54Speaker 1: dodgers but they are expected to compete for their division
- 19:57Speaker 1: and they have ideas visions of knocking off The dodgers
- 20:01Speaker 1: in the playoffs and going to The World series this.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Year but they're not going to get there with all
- 20:06Speaker 1: of the injuries to their starting rotation that they have
- 20:08Speaker 1: suffered so far this. Season Kate horton is out for the.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Year Matt boyd is going to be on the injury
- 20:15Speaker 1: list for an extended period of. TIME i read an
- 20:18Speaker 1: article just this morning that said that The cubs are
- 20:21Speaker 1: desperate for. Pitching, well we might have excess, Pitching so braise,
- 20:26Speaker 1: yourself Anders hurst And Luke.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Harkins i'm doing it.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Again oh, No i'm Trading Luis, Castillo Luis castillo And
- 20:36Speaker 1: Victor roblaze to The Chicago cubs For Ian happ And
- 20:41Speaker 1: Javier Assad. Okay Ian happ is A Gold glove caliber left,
- 20:49Speaker 1: fielder so already we're out from Underneath Randia rose arena
- 20:54Speaker 1: and the circus act that has been his left. Field
- 20:57Speaker 1: now we can use A rose arena more in a
- 20:59Speaker 1: dh row at that, point which is WHERE i think
- 21:02Speaker 1: he benefits the team the.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Most So Ian.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Happ he's also a switch, hitter so you don't have
- 21:08Speaker 1: to do this platoon thing With Ian. Happ he's also
- 21:11Speaker 1: a street. KITTER i, mean you could pick him up
- 21:13Speaker 1: and it could be a month before he gets another.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Hit but then when he does get, hot he gets incredibly.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Hot he's just a very good player who makes twenty
- 21:20Speaker 1: million dollars a. Year The cubs right now Have Saya
- 21:23Speaker 1: suzuki getting ready to come off THE. Il they've got
- 21:26Speaker 1: a young prospect by the name Of Matt shaw who
- 21:28Speaker 1: they want in the lineup every, day but they Signed
- 21:31Speaker 1: Alex bregman in the offseason and that took his third
- 21:33Speaker 1: base job. Away shaw's athletic enough that they can figure
- 21:36Speaker 1: out a way to get him into the, outfield and
- 21:39Speaker 1: that might plug that hole for them in left. Field
- 21:42Speaker 1: and they get A castillo who can be for them
- 21:45Speaker 1: a top of the rotation, guy which for, us he
- 21:48Speaker 1: might be our sixth best starting. Pitcher and so to,
- 21:51Speaker 1: me you go ahead and you move on From. Castillo
- 21:56Speaker 1: you get another, good proven everyday player who can play
- 22:00Speaker 1: the hell out of left. Field, defense and you pick
- 22:03Speaker 1: Up Javier asad or maybe A Ben. Brown that gives
- 22:07Speaker 1: you somebody that can, pitch gives you some starting pitching.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Depth he's not as good as any of our, five
- 22:13Speaker 1: but we don't really need him to. Be nobody wants
- 22:16Speaker 1: to trade a starting pitcher for The Seattle mariners because
- 22:18Speaker 1: they're worried you don't ever trade starting. Pitching but we've
- 22:21Speaker 1: Got Ryan sloan And Kate anderson both on the com
- 22:24Speaker 1: for future. Years and we've Got Emerson, hancock WHO i
- 22:27Speaker 1: don't want to take out of the rotation right now
- 22:29Speaker 1: the way that he, looks so ALL i really need
- 22:32Speaker 1: is depth in Between Cooper criswell And Javier assad Or Ben.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Brown if that's the, choice then that gives us some
- 22:38Speaker 1: starting pitching. Depth AND i don't mind giving up A,
- 22:41Speaker 1: roeblazer even A rally in order to make this trade happy. Happen,
- 22:45Speaker 1: Also Ian happ makes less money Than, castile so you're
- 22:48Speaker 1: actually going to save some money on this, deal which
- 22:51Speaker 1: could help you come trade deadline time to actually add
- 22:56Speaker 1: in the areas that are. Needed why is for a.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Year he only has a year left on his, contract
- 23:02Speaker 1: and you're not really looking At Luis castillo as being
- 23:06Speaker 1: a long term piece. Anyway as a matter of, fact
- 23:08Speaker 1: it might benefit you to get out from underneath the
- 23:11Speaker 1: two years left on his. CONTRACT i don't think it
- 23:14Speaker 1: should get.
- 23:15Speaker 2: In the way at. All Ian happ having one year
- 23:18Speaker 2: on the.
- 23:18Speaker 1: CONTRACT i kind of look at that as possibly a
- 23:21Speaker 1: benefit to making this, deal because it gets you out
- 23:24Speaker 1: from underneath four million dollars this season and gets you
- 23:26Speaker 1: out from underneath twenty four million the following, season even
- 23:30Speaker 1: if you Lose Ian happ to free. Agency, plus we
- 23:33Speaker 1: Have Las montes on the, come and so we don't
- 23:36Speaker 1: want anybody blocking his path to the major leagues. Anyway
- 23:39Speaker 1: and we also might have to face the fact That
- 23:41Speaker 1: Brendan donovan's not a third baseman and he might be
- 23:44Speaker 1: the left fielder next season in exchange For Ian happ
- 23:47Speaker 1: if he does walk via free. Agency and so, Finally
- 23:51Speaker 1: ze is for Zen. Garden here is the Zen GARDEN
- 23:53Speaker 1: i have created for you in making this. Trade no increased,
- 23:56Speaker 1: payroll in, fact it's. Decreased you free up handcut to,
- 24:00Speaker 1: start and not send him To, tacoma WHICH i think
- 24:02Speaker 1: would really deflate the young man right, now considering how
- 24:06Speaker 1: well he's. Pitching AND i think that actually doesn't sacrifice
- 24:09Speaker 1: your starting pitching. Depth rotation will be just as, good
- 24:13Speaker 1: maybe even better the Way hancock looks right, now and
- 24:16Speaker 1: you Have criswell And assad who could stay on the
- 24:19Speaker 1: roster as relief pitchers and long relief pitchers and also
- 24:23Speaker 1: be your starting pitching depth should you need a six
- 24:26Speaker 1: or seventh starter during the course of the. Season you've
- 24:28Speaker 1: improved your, defense which does look like a weakness on
- 24:31Speaker 1: this twenty twenty six roster right now because you've had
- 24:34Speaker 1: a Gold glover to left. Field you've eliminated one of
- 24:36Speaker 1: those pesky platoons that people hate so. Much now you
- 24:39Speaker 1: probably are looking at A refsnyder canzone right field platoon
- 24:44Speaker 1: as you're out from underneath Either rayley Or. Rodblace in that,
- 24:48Speaker 1: situation you free up money for next season When sloan
- 24:51Speaker 1: and Or anderson will certainly be ready to join this,
- 24:54Speaker 1: rotation and you can spend the savings on something that
- 24:57Speaker 1: would be more helpful to the twenty twenty seven. Roster
- 25:00Speaker 1: And happ is a good clubhouse. Guy now we Know
- 25:02Speaker 1: castillo is a great one and we hate to lose,
- 25:06Speaker 1: him But Ian happ is also a very good to
- 25:09Speaker 1: great clubhouse guy as. Well so to, me this is
- 25:12Speaker 1: one of those this makes. Sense let's take advantage of
- 25:15Speaker 1: the cubs desperate need for starting. Pitching let's add a
- 25:19Speaker 1: more consistent piece to our, offense let's improve our, defense
- 25:23Speaker 1: and let's free Up Emerson hancock to prove that what
- 25:26Speaker 1: we are seeing is real from him right, now because
- 25:29Speaker 1: if it is, real we've got five young mid twenties.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Studs to put in our starting.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Rotation, YEAH i MEAN i like it for several, reasons
- 25:37Speaker 4: including obviously because you don't know what they're gonna do
- 25:40Speaker 4: With hancock and going To WinCE miller's healthy and going
- 25:43Speaker 4: to a six man rotation seems like it might create
- 25:45Speaker 4: more problems THAN i don't want to do, That, yeah
- 25:47Speaker 4: than staying with the five plus anything that's going to
- 25:49Speaker 4: improve our defense on the left, side sign.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Me, up no, doubt, Right.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah it's it's just we've had too many. Issues.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Yeah and, Again Brendan donovan as, Said i'm not a third,
- 26:01Speaker 4: baseman but when you have the problems that he's, having
- 26:06Speaker 4: and then you've got the uncertainty of or not great
- 26:09Speaker 4: defense of A rose, ARENA i, mean it's just a massive, weakness, right.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Now, yeah well if you could shore up one for certain,
- 26:16Speaker 1: yeah and left field and give yourself a switch hitter
- 26:19Speaker 1: that doesn't have to come out of the. Lineup, yeah
- 26:22Speaker 1: at any, TIME i think that they should make this
- 26:26Speaker 1: move right, now just pull the trigger on it right.
- 26:28Speaker 1: NOW i think it makes The mariners. Better and it has
- 26:30Speaker 1: nothing to do with the four and nine, start. Right
- 26:32Speaker 1: it has everything to do with does this move make us?
- 26:35Speaker 1: Better do we take advantage of hancocks excellence so far
- 26:39Speaker 1: and the cubs desperation to make the team?
- 26:41Speaker 2: BETTER i get that all.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Right coming up, next we're going to have your stocking
- 26:45Speaker 1: stuff as far are You Sports radio ninety three point THREE.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Kjrfm, yeah as long AS i.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Don't actually chew, It. OKAY i don't think that they
- 26:52Speaker 1: want pieces of pipe plastic. System probably.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Not but even if it ends up, there it's coming
- 26:58Speaker 2: out one, way is. Truth.
- 27:00Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah lean's a.

- 28:28Speaker 3: I did not know.
- 28:29Speaker 2: That, yeah oh half. True my dog's name is mel,
- 28:33Speaker 2: okay BUT i didn't name.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Okay but not After. MILKIPER i was, like, wow that
- 28:36Speaker 3: actually surprises. ME i didn't think you Loved. Melkiper?
- 28:40Speaker 2: What, NO i Love, YEAH i love Mel.
- 28:42Speaker 1: KUIPER i mean he's the guy that pretty much he's
- 28:44Speaker 1: pretty much the father of the. Draft i'm father, drafting
- 28:48Speaker 1: not father. DRAFT i created the, holiday but he's like
- 28:51Speaker 1: the father of the. DRAFT i Love melkiper all. Right
- 28:54Speaker 1: AND i actually think that was the. UNIVERSE i THINK
- 28:57Speaker 1: i named the dog. MEL i think that was the
- 29:01Speaker 1: universe kind of working through, me the draft and spirit
- 29:04Speaker 1: working through. Me didn't even realize it, consciously but SUBCONSCIOUSLY
- 29:07Speaker 1: i was naming my little sweet little dog after Mel.
- 29:11Speaker 1: KIPER i, mean even THOUGH i don't think she would appreciate.
- 29:15Speaker 3: It, well you, KNOW i think she'd be all.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Right there's a rumor that there will be a lot
- 29:20Speaker 2: of trade.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Activity that's going to take place in THE Nfl draft
- 29:26Speaker 1: this year and we are two weeks away from.
- 29:27Speaker 4: It.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Now we hear this every, Year so is that really
- 29:31Speaker 1: a good rumor to spread right?
- 29:33Speaker 2: NOW i.
- 29:34Speaker 1: DON'T i wouldn't put much stock in, It BUT i
- 29:37Speaker 1: would say this that if this is a down, draft
- 29:41Speaker 1: especially they are saying like after round, five it really
- 29:45Speaker 1: takes a nose, dive and it doesn't seem to be
- 29:48Speaker 1: all that luxurious and rich at the.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Top of the draft.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Either then to, me it's not one of these situations
- 29:56Speaker 1: where like half the teams in THE nfl are just
- 29:59Speaker 1: going to a punt on an entire.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Draft it's not.
- 30:03Speaker 1: That, bad, Right it's not like they're going to, Say,
- 30:06Speaker 1: eh who, cares.
- 30:08Speaker 3: We don't really want to draft. Anyone do you want
- 30:10Speaker 3: Our do you want our draft?
- 30:11Speaker 4: Picks?
- 30:12Speaker 1: Yeah you want. Them let's just leave them. There Let's
- 30:14Speaker 1: mike Ditke itt and just trade them all for one.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Pick Is Ricky williams still even? Available, SO I i,
- 30:21Speaker 1: mean nobody's going to do, that not Even John. Schneider
- 30:24Speaker 1: And John schneider came very close to doing, THAT i
- 30:26Speaker 1: think back in twenty twenty with a draft that he
- 30:28Speaker 1: didn't like all that, much but that was a different.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Situation he only had like four games to evaluate because OF.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Covid of all the players that were in the, draft
- 30:37Speaker 1: this is not that bad of a. Draft BUT i
- 30:40Speaker 1: think if it is, down then wouldn't that heighten a
- 30:45Speaker 1: team's desire to get guys that they really? Want if
- 30:49Speaker 1: Now i'm going to package some things together so THAT
- 30:52Speaker 1: i can move up IF i IF i don't like the,
- 30:55Speaker 1: mass then there's got to be like individual players THAT i,
- 30:58Speaker 1: like and Maybe i'm going to spend a few extra
- 31:01Speaker 1: draft picks in order to get into a position to
- 31:03Speaker 1: take one of those players on my. List so maybe it.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Does maybe maybe a down draft will encourage more trade.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Activity and let's face, it that's what really is the
- 31:13Speaker 1: fun of THE nfl draft is when you see there's
- 31:16Speaker 1: a trade in that alert flashes across the screen and
- 31:19Speaker 1: you have.
- 31:19Speaker 2: No idea where the pick is going in for.
- 31:22Speaker 1: What AND i think it's one of the reasons why
- 31:24Speaker 1: we haven't talked about draft buzz so much heading into
- 31:27Speaker 1: THE Nfl. Draft Brady quinn can't stop bringing it up every.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Morning there's not great draft buzz because there's only one
- 31:34Speaker 1: short fire quarterback at the top of the, draft and
- 31:37Speaker 1: we haven't had a trade made. Yet get a trade
- 31:39Speaker 1: if The cardinals And cowboys make a deal today for
- 31:42Speaker 1: the number three, pick all of a, sudden we've got
- 31:45Speaker 1: a topic to really break down for the next you,
- 31:47Speaker 1: know seventy two hours in regards to THE Nfl. Draft
- 31:51Speaker 1: so maybe the buzz will start happening on Draft. Day
- 31:54Speaker 1: maybe that's when we're going to go start getting our.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Trades one other item from the stocking stuff been and
- 32:00Speaker 1: that is a name that The seahawks are being linked
- 32:03Speaker 1: to quite a, bit fast riser in the, draft maybe
- 32:06Speaker 1: sneaks all the way in to the first round at
- 32:08Speaker 1: thirty two. Overall Rob rain brought him up as well
- 32:11Speaker 1: in our conversation with him On, tuesday and that Is Chris,
- 32:15Speaker 1: johnson a cornerback out Of San Diego. STATE i think
- 32:18Speaker 1: that cornerback and running back are the primary targets for
- 32:23Speaker 1: The seahawks to address in THIS Nfl, draft and particularly
- 32:27Speaker 1: earlier in the draft than later in the. Draft and
- 32:30Speaker 1: if they do stick at thirty, two WHICH i don't
- 32:32Speaker 1: expect them, to and that maybe you, Know Chris, johnson
- 32:37Speaker 1: a cornerback out Of San Diego state rising up the
- 32:39Speaker 1: draft boards is just their cup of. Tea so it
- 32:42Speaker 1: is a name to watch out. For it's a name
- 32:44Speaker 1: that's been. Rising it's a name that The seahawks have
- 32:47Speaker 1: been commonly linked to as, well and so keep an
- 32:50Speaker 1: eye on that all.
