  Two, one. This is the Brandon Fogel Show.
• 0:45
  Did you all watch the NFL draft this year? Did you all watch it?
• 0:49
  Honestly, I did not watch it. I did not watch it.
• 0:53
  Man, I wish... There's so many things I wish I could watch, but it's like I just... I...
• 1:00
  I just, I feel like I don't have time for nothing. I don't know.
• 1:04
  I wish I could watch news all day and I wish I could watch NFL and all the sports,
• 1:09
  NBA, baseball, everything that's going on.
• 1:11
  There's so many things I wish I just had time for, but it's like,
• 1:14
  you don't have time for nothing.
• 1:16
  You don't have time for anything. You know, I would love to just read up and
• 1:19
  I'll have all this stuff.
• 1:20
  So I am coming from it from a very outside view ish. The NFL draft is awesome to watch.
• 1:26
  I love to watch it, you know, and it's just. Just, I mean, if you've ever seen
• 1:30
  the movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner, it is an awesome movie.
• 1:34
  And it goes through like in depth and detail of how intense the draft is,
• 1:40
  how many moving parts are happening in every draft behind the scenes.
• 1:44
  We just see that commish come out there and just walk Trott out there and then
• 1:48
  say, with the number one pick, with the number one pick in the 2024 NFL draft,
• 1:54
  the Chicago Bears select. And who did they grab?
• 1:58
  Let's go actually check it out who did they grab they grabbed
• 2:01
  caleb williams caleb williams from the
• 2:04
  usc from usc yeah they're
• 2:08
  just looking through the first the first round and the picks that
• 2:10
  were made there were a lot of quarterbacks there are a lot of quarterbacks and
• 2:14
  you can and that is that is the quarterback position is the number one position
• 2:18
  in all of sports that they are the field general they are the one calling the
• 2:22
  shots and it is the most viewed position but a quarterback they are on their
• 2:27
  own and they are making plays. They determine who wins and loses.
• 2:30
  I would say that the quarterback is the number one deciding factor.
• 2:33
  That's why, that's why they get paid so much.
• 2:35
  And also that's why they are, they go so high in the draft like that.
• 2:39
  And the, the turning point of a team starts at that quarterback position.
• 2:44
  So you can see in the first round, I mean, there is just a plethora of quarterbacks
• 2:50
  that went in that first round.
• 2:51
  We hop over to CBS and news.
• 2:55
  And it looks like they, I mean, just look at through quarterback,
• 2:57
  quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, you know.
• 3:02
  And there were a ton of quarterback because, I mean, you get that quarterback
• 3:05
  and that is your cornerstone.
• 3:07
  Like if you're the, if you're the Kansas City Chiefs, we got our cornerstone, baby.
• 3:11
  Patrick Mahomes, we got our cornerstone and we build around Patrick Mahomes.
• 3:18
  First of all, you got to be able to protect your quarterback.
• 3:20
  You got to be able to protect that blind side.
• 3:23
  And after the Buccaneers fiasco, a couple of years back in the Super Bowl where
• 3:29
  Patrick Patrick Mahomes went against Tom Brady.
• 3:31
  The Kansas City Chiefs needed to realign their thought process in their mind
• 3:36
  and think, okay, we need to support and protect our number one asset,
• 3:42
  which is Patrick Mahomes. As you can see, I am a little biased.
• 3:45
  As you can see from the NFL draft, so like we went quarterback and I got a friend,
• 3:51
  the people that I go to and I work with every day, they talk sports.
• 3:55
  And I got a friend that he is all about the Vikings and he wanted Drake May
• 4:01
  and he was sort of crushed when the Vikings weren't able to go get up in the
• 4:06
  draft and get Drake May. Drake May.
• 4:09
  Drake May. I don't know why I said it like that, but they didn't go up and grab
• 4:13
  him and they missed out on that, but they made a good pick.
• 4:17
  I would say they still got that quarterback, that foundational component that's
• 4:21
  going to be to their team with J.J. McCarthy.
• 4:24
  So he should be pretty good. But it's like, you look at this,
• 4:27
  Patrick Mahomes, what did he go? Did he go number nine or something like that? He went number nine.
• 4:32
  The most elite player in NFL history, I would say, is Patrick Mahomes,
• 4:37
  and so many teams missed out on him.
• 4:39
  Mitch Trubisky went ahead of him. There's a number one, another,
• 4:42
  I think other quarterbacks went ahead of him, but I know Mitch Trubisky went
• 4:46
  ahead of Patrick Mahomes. And it's like.
• 4:48
  It is always hindsight 2020. You can have the best NFL minds, and it doesn't matter.
• 4:56
  It's a luck of the draw sometimes. But you can maybe go out there and try to
• 5:00
  find talent and have that eye that can find who is going to be awesome in this
• 5:06
  league, who is going to take it to the next level, take your team to the next level.
• 5:09
  So we got Marvin Harrison Jr., who went as number four from Ohio State,
• 5:14
  and he went to the Cardinals. He went to the Cardinals.
• 5:17
  Now with him going over to help out murray is
• 5:20
  he going to be able to i mean they could actually be pretty
• 5:24
  dominant marvin harrison jr i think is going to be an
• 5:27
  elite player in the nfl is not just going to be somebody who just kind of fades
• 5:31
  into the background and just does a occasionally makes a good play here and
• 5:36
  there i think he is going to be a dominant player in the nfl marvin harrison
• 5:40
  I don't think that's too me stepping out too far on the ledge to make that call.
• 5:46
  I think he is going to be a great player, but, but who could be better?
• 5:51
  I don't know. I guess I'm hopeful that who the chief's got is would be better. Xavier worthy.
• 5:57
  If you've heard of this guy, this guy from the Texas wide receiver, he is, he's a beast.
• 6:04
  I really don't know too much about him, but I want to think he's a beast.
• 6:07
  And all I know about him is he had a good career at Texas.
• 6:13
  I think he had three years there. Not just he didn't just occasionally make
• 6:17
  some good plays, but he had a consistent, strong career at Texas.
• 6:20
  He had good hands, extremely fast.
• 6:23
  But he does have a, he's a smaller window. He's a smaller window for Patrick to throw to.
• 6:29
  But if anyone can get it to somebody, it's Patrick Mahomes.
• 6:33
  Patrick Mahomes literally hit so many people, and he's done this.
• 6:36
  If you are a Chiefs fan and you've seen Patrick out there, there are so many
• 6:41
  freaking plays that he throws it perfectly and.
• 6:47
  Receivers have dropped i would love to just pull up how
• 6:50
  many drops have patrick's receivers over his
• 6:53
  entire career i i mentioned the buccaneers super
• 6:56
  bowl fiasco earlier on this video that game
• 7:00
  literally crushed my heart because i mean he patrick he
• 7:04
  played he was hurt he was hurt and he
• 7:07
  was getting destroyed by the the defensive line
• 7:10
  over there but he he made so many good
• 7:13
  plays if you watch if you remember that game he made
• 7:16
  so many awesome amazing throws and
• 7:20
  escaping and just on the run constantly he would be on the run constantly and
• 7:25
  make this amazing throw hit the guy in the hands and they drop it so it's like
• 7:29
  you don't like there you lose all momentum you don't you don't move the chains
• 7:34
  and he and it's like it just completely stopped their their progression in the game.
• 7:40
  It's like that, that game was extremely tough.
• 7:44
  That was, that one was tough to watch that Superbowl way back when,
• 7:47
  when they played the Buccaneers.
• 7:48
  But then I would say the, the, the toughest game for me to watch was when Patrick
• 7:54
  lost to the Bengals in the playoffs, maybe three years ago, when he,
• 7:58
  they were up in the first half and just dominating and killing the Bengals.
• 8:03
  And then Patrick, this was, that was the game that I saw that he actually is
• 8:08
  human. and he made mental mistakes.
• 8:11
  It started with a mental mistake right before half when he threw it to Tyreek
• 8:15
  and they didn't even score before going into the half.
• 8:18
  There was just some mental gaps in that game that is like, he is human, you know?
• 8:22
  But he definitely has come back from that.
• 8:25
  As a player in the NFL, you actually have footage of everything that you just
• 8:31
  did the previous week. Sports analysis, you know.
• 8:35
  I mean, right now, I probably could like maybe a few years back when I intensely
• 8:40
  was watching sports like non-stop.
• 8:43
  I watch sports non-stop and I wish I could watch sports non-stop now,
• 8:48
  but there's so many other things I wish I could do, you know?
• 8:50
  And it's like, you only have so much time, but I love the NFL.
• 8:54
  I love the NFL. I've always been a player-driven person in pretty much all sports.
• 8:59
  I have my teams that I like.
• 9:01
  I've been way more so with the NBA, a player driven person because I live around
• 9:07
  Kansas City and it's we don't have a team we don't have an NBA team we got the
• 9:13
  Royals and we got the Chiefs baby the Chiefs Red Kingdom.
• 9:18
  You know we got the Chiefs you
• 9:21
  know but we need that NBA
• 9:24
  team and we got sporting KC soccer baby we
• 9:28
  got good soccer we got good soccer they've been
• 9:31
  good every now and then but we need to
• 9:34
  get that nba team in kc nba team
• 9:37
  because i do love the nba i have faded away from it
• 9:40
  a lot more than i used to be i guess because it's just just so many things i
• 9:46
  don't like in the nba that are happening and all that so it's not been as exciting
• 9:50
  to watch but with the nfl draft if you got to catch it if you got to see that
• 9:56
  draft and see what was going
• 9:58
  on what were your what were your takeaways from it you
• 10:01
  know as i said i didn't watch it i don't think i watched one
• 10:04
  bit of it i've just kind of caught kind of what's and just word
• 10:07
  of mouth people just described what happened and and last year the draft was
• 10:12
  in kc so that was cool that was cool but it is a fun thing i would always love
• 10:17
  i always love watching the nfl draft just didn't catch it this year you all
• 10:21
  we focus on is that first round but the the greatest nfl player in history, Tom Brady.
• 10:26
  He went like the last round of the draft.
• 10:29
  And then even Brock Purdy, who he was Mr. Irrelevant, the last pick.
• 10:34
  So it's like, you can see and guess, get a guess from what happened and who
• 10:40
  got picked and everything like that.
• 10:41
  But it's like, we won't know until a couple of years from now,
• 10:46
  who made the dumb picks and who made the amazing picks and who who look looks
• 10:52
  extremely smart and who had that awesome insight.
• 10:56
  Wouldn't really, they, I mean, a lot, sometimes it's just a crapshoot and it's
• 11:01
  like, it's just, you know, you're, you,
• 11:02
  you, you do your best and you put your best into it to, to pull who is going
• 11:07
  to, who's going to make a difference and who has that it factor and all that. But yeah.
• 11:12
  It, we won't know. Time will tell. We didn't immediately know about Patrick
• 11:17
  Mahomes until a couple of years after he didn't play that fault that first year
• 11:20
  in his, in his NFL career.
• 11:22
  It wasn't until the second year that he actually started.
• 11:24
  He got to play one game in that first season, but I didn't, I did not see Patrick Mahomes coming really.
• 11:31
  I remember even though his, his first year starting, I picked him and he was on my team.
• 11:37
  What is it called? Fantasy football. He was on my team in fantasy football,
• 11:40
  but I had no idea what was going to happen with Patrick Mahomes.
• 11:45
  And that was when he had that 50 touchdown season and everything like that.
• 11:49
  But he's definitely shattered the mold.
• 11:52
  He is next level. And I hope he can stay healthy and keep going for years to come.
• 12:00
  But who are the winners? Who are the losers in this NFL draft? What do you say?
• 12:05
  A lot of quarterbacks went. so then that
• 12:08
  quarterback is you got to get that quarterback and then you
• 12:11
  got to protect him and then you got to get him a supporting cast and I think
• 12:15
  that the Chiefs are doing a good job of that getting that receiver position
• 12:18
  and we'll just see what next year this I guess going into the 2024 season looks
• 12:24
  like for the Kansas City Chiefs but all right and I hope you have a wonderful
• 12:27
  day and I'll see you in the next video.
