- 0:55Speaker 1: week is here. Who's ready? I certainly am. It's Monday. Yeah,
- 1:01Speaker 1: I'm ready. I mean, it's you have no choice but
- 1:03Speaker 1: to be ready at this point. But it's, uh, you know,
- 1:07Speaker 1: it feels in some ways. Draft always feels to me
- 1:10Speaker 1: like it races up on you, but at the same time,
- 1:13Speaker 1: it takes forever to get there. Because you wait so
- 1:16Speaker 1: long for it, and then all of a sudden on
- 1:19Speaker 1: draft weets here and Sexon is going to Vegas and
- 1:22Speaker 1: rolling the dice, and yeah, because that's and coming back
- 1:25Speaker 1: with a pick um. I guess I'll feel that way
- 1:28Speaker 1: when I get to the hotel. You know, I'm staying
- 1:31Speaker 1: at Bellagio where that um where that the NFL is,
- 1:35Speaker 1: And apparently the fountain has been taken over by the stage.
- 1:38Speaker 1: So I think maybe I'll feel like, you know, I'm
- 1:40Speaker 1: ready for it when we get there. Um. I wish
- 1:44Speaker 1: they'd move this thing up. I wish they do it
- 1:46Speaker 1: in March. It just seems just drag in April week,
- 1:54Speaker 1: it just feels like there's a lot going on forever,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and listening to guys, teams have been ready to pick.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I mean, I know they did their song and dance
- 2:03Speaker 1: last week, but they're still going through it. Well that's
- 2:04Speaker 1: because you're sitting at the top of the draft. But
- 2:06Speaker 1: they've got a favorite, they've got somebody. The team's just
- 2:10Speaker 1: they're ready, let's go. You could easily do it quicker.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I don't think they ever will, though they've got the
- 2:15Speaker 1: schedule and and they own the entire sporting year. Everybody
- 2:19Speaker 1: covers it and salivates over it, and it's it's fine
- 2:22Speaker 1: television ratings. Yes, people watch this, and they watched the
- 2:25Speaker 1: build up to it and the reaction to it, and
- 2:28Speaker 1: on and on and on. There's no way it'll ever change.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And here's what's funny. If you had if you told
- 2:35Speaker 1: a sports fan in nineteen seventy, just pick out a year, Hey,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you're gonna be watching the draft. There's gonna be a
- 2:43Speaker 1: team in Vegas, and the Draft is going to be
- 2:45Speaker 1: in Vegas. People look like like you're from Mars. The
- 2:49Speaker 1: draft didn't exist in terms of sporting conscious the NFL
- 2:53Speaker 1: wouldn't touch Vegas. And now all of a sudden, it's funny.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I watched over the weekend of one of the NFL
- 3:00Speaker 1: network shows on the eight three draft, and I think
- 3:03Speaker 1: that was one of the first ones fans actually came into,
- 3:06Speaker 1: is that the sheared in New York and that was
- 3:08Speaker 1: the big quarterback traft and there's hooting and holler and
- 3:11Speaker 1: from these stands and upstairs it was still on cars,
- 3:14Speaker 1: people are like, and it was still on cards until
- 3:17Speaker 1: like two thousand. I mean, it's not all that new.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And I think we talked about this last week on Drivetime.
- 3:22Speaker 1: If if you want to see what it was, go
- 3:24Speaker 1: go and and go to YouTube and find ESPN's first
- 3:28Speaker 1: draft broadcast. Right of the commissioners standing in front of
- 3:31Speaker 1: basically a chalkboard, right, you know what, they're putting names
- 3:35Speaker 1: in it, And people thought, who's going to watch this?
- 3:37Speaker 1: But who would have ever thought that guys running around
- 3:39Speaker 1: in shorts and T shirts in Indianapolis would outpace the
- 3:43Speaker 1: NBA playoffs? And yet it does. Roselle thought the networks
- 3:47Speaker 1: for nuts, but they didn't want to tell the draft.
- 3:50Speaker 1: And he may be the most forward thinking commissioner of
- 3:53Speaker 1: all time. So just shows. Let's hear some of the
- 3:56Speaker 1: song and dance from Friday, the pre draft media luncheon,
- 3:59Speaker 1: Trent Key, Doug Peterson. Will hear from Peterson coming up
- 4:02Speaker 1: in a little bit. Let's start with the GM though
- 4:05Speaker 1: they said they're down to four prospects being considered at
- 4:08Speaker 1: number one overall, a much different feel from last year,
- 4:11Speaker 1: but they still have to put in the work. Yeah.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I think you go into every year though even last year,
- 4:16Speaker 1: you go in, you do it, You do your due diligence,
- 4:19Speaker 1: you work hard, you you bring in all the information,
- 4:22Speaker 1: gather as many facts as you can put it together
- 4:24Speaker 1: and make decisions off of those. But you know, there's
- 4:27Speaker 1: so much that goes into these decisions that you know,
- 4:30Speaker 1: it's not just the film, it's it's all the other
- 4:33Speaker 1: things that go into that guy having success or not
- 4:36Speaker 1: having success. Most of the time, they don't fail because
- 4:39Speaker 1: they're not physically gifted. They fail for other reasons. So
- 4:43Speaker 1: making sure that we've done all of our due diligence
- 4:45Speaker 1: in those areas is critical to the decision making process
- 4:49Speaker 1: that's bulky on Friday, And the general consensus is the
- 4:53Speaker 1: Big four would be Neil, A. Kwantue, Walker, and Hutchinson.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I guess that's fair, right as Yeah, I didn't say it,
- 5:00Speaker 1: but we all just in the room not at our heads,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and said, okay, we know who the four are. Well,
- 5:03Speaker 1: let's just say that Walkers not just for argument's sake,
- 5:05Speaker 1: Let's just say that Walker is all a big smoke screen.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Who would the fourth peak? Who's in other words, who's
- 5:10Speaker 1: the fifth? Who's that next name is there? You could
- 5:14Speaker 1: go so many different directions of that fifth. Yeah, yeah,
- 5:17Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, and the one that would stand
- 5:19Speaker 1: out would be Thibodeau. I don't think he's a factor
- 5:22Speaker 1: for him. You've heard nothing about him here, Yeah, and so,
- 5:27Speaker 1: but we didn't hear about Blake Bord either. Well, yeah,
- 5:33Speaker 1: to say the least. I mean, I don't know that
- 5:36Speaker 1: there is possibly an outsider like a sauce Gardener, right,
- 5:40Speaker 1: I don't know that that exists. But for the purpose
- 5:42Speaker 1: of a draft that goes all the way to the
- 5:44Speaker 1: end of the April, it's conversation, who would that other
- 5:46Speaker 1: name be if it wasn't Walker. I can't imagine them
- 5:49Speaker 1: taking a cornerback at that position of the sauce gardener.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I would love to cover that name for four um.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Because we talked about the sun huddle up that of
- 6:00Speaker 1: the cornerback value is changing a little bit. I wouldn't
- 6:04Speaker 1: take a corner or a safety in the first round
- 6:06Speaker 1: probably ever, again, just because of the way the rules
- 6:10Speaker 1: have diminished the ability of that position to impact the game.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I still go back to if there would have been
- 6:18Speaker 1: a wide receiver this year who was even in like
- 6:22Speaker 1: that top four or five conversation, I still wonder if
- 6:26Speaker 1: he might not have been worthy the number one pick. Well,
- 6:28Speaker 1: then then let's introduce it just another what if if
- 6:31Speaker 1: Jamison Williams hadn't hurt his knee in the in the
- 6:35Speaker 1: in the playoffs, would he be that guy? I don't
- 6:38Speaker 1: know if he's because I've heard his name talked about
- 6:41Speaker 1: it like ten for the Jets. Who can't pass on
- 6:43Speaker 1: that kind of talent. And I saw a couple of
- 6:46Speaker 1: draft analysts who have you know, wide receivers in the
- 6:49Speaker 1: top four or five or six. I don't think it'll
- 6:52Speaker 1: sneak up to be in a one possibility. But had
- 6:54Speaker 1: there been a Jamar Chase who last year everybody knew
- 6:59Speaker 1: was special and to maybe be top five in this
- 7:02Speaker 1: draft with this team situation there, you do wonder, right
- 7:08Speaker 1: you would have raised eyebrows at at Jamar Chase being
- 7:12Speaker 1: not taking number one overall last year, even without a
- 7:15Speaker 1: quarterback situation anywody. But the way he played, the way
- 7:17Speaker 1: he impacted, I think it's gonna happen at some point.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I don't think it can happen this year. Oh but
- 7:23Speaker 1: you saw the video of Jamison Williams doing workouts over
- 7:26Speaker 1: the weekend, As representatives put it out, he's walking over hurdles,
- 7:31Speaker 1: doing short sprints. Certainly was a coincidence that that video
- 7:34Speaker 1: point out this weekend. I think I think he's gonna
- 7:36Speaker 1: end up in the top ten because I think people
- 7:38Speaker 1: are souring on Drake. London isn't fast. Traylon Burke's is
- 7:42Speaker 1: short of a hybrid um and the A C L
- 7:45Speaker 1: is so, I mean, there was any other injury, but
- 7:47Speaker 1: it just seems like he's recovered so much from an ACL,
- 7:50Speaker 1: such a popular injury at this point, Chris loves get
- 7:54Speaker 1: well again. I'm talking about about people going twenty five
- 7:57Speaker 1: years ago talking about, you know, the draft on TV
- 8:00Speaker 1: in Vegas and and and the fact that somebody would say, oh, yeah,
- 8:02Speaker 1: the A C is not a big deal in it
- 8:04Speaker 1: because you know, back in the day when this franchise
- 8:07Speaker 1: was just getting off the ground, that was train tracks.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was a major injury to
- 8:11Speaker 1: overcome JP. If I can just introduce this thought um
- 8:14Speaker 1: in talking to people, and I forget exactly who said it,
- 8:17Speaker 1: they described this draft as a draft full of doubles. Right,
- 8:22Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys where you can hit a double,
- 8:24Speaker 1: a good solid connect and get a guy that will
- 8:27Speaker 1: be a really good player for you. But that Travon
- 8:29Speaker 1: Walker is the home run swing. He's the guy where
- 8:34Speaker 1: you can get over the top. If he is what
- 8:37Speaker 1: they think he is. And if you're coaching staff, if
- 8:39Speaker 1: Brentton Buckner is that coach, this guy is the home
- 8:44Speaker 1: run swing in the draft. I thought that was an
- 8:46Speaker 1: interesting the possibility to whiff on the home run. So well,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you always do. I mean, what would Babe Ruth hit?
- 8:51Speaker 1: I mean baseball guy, I mean run, right, But I
- 8:55Speaker 1: mean how many times did he strike out? I mean
- 8:57Speaker 1: three out of four something like? Yeah, yeah he hit,
- 9:02Speaker 1: he hit seven hundred plus home runs, but he struck
- 9:04Speaker 1: out three or four times. Yeah, that's that's what a
- 9:06Speaker 1: home run swing is. Yeah, that's the hesitations. Let's hear
- 9:10Speaker 1: more from Trent Bulky on a couple of these guys
- 9:12Speaker 1: at the top, including Trayvon Walker from Georgia and Aiden
- 9:16Speaker 1: Hutchinson from Michigan. What do these guys bring to the table.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I think when you look at both those players, they're
- 9:22Speaker 1: both productive in their own way, used differently, right, They're
- 9:26Speaker 1: totally different schemes, used differently within those schemes. So you
- 9:31Speaker 1: just gotta again, you're looking at them, You're looking at
- 9:34Speaker 1: how they made their plays, how they were used, and
- 9:37Speaker 1: then you have a vision for how you can use them.
- 9:39Speaker 1: So all of that plays apart, but trades are important.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Production is important. You weigh at all, weigh at all, John,
- 9:46Speaker 1: you weigh at all. Yeah, you have to, and it's yeah,
- 9:50Speaker 1: I uh. I guess with the whole Walker Hutchinson thing,
- 9:54Speaker 1: I don't know how much more there is to say,
- 9:57Speaker 1: because it's right at that point in the draft where
- 10:00Speaker 1: it's been said already. Um, if they go after Walker,
- 10:04Speaker 1: it's the home run swing. If they go after Hutchinson,
- 10:06Speaker 1: it's it's the perceived safe selection. But you also go
- 10:11Speaker 1: back to and what Brian said in the draft, there
- 10:16Speaker 1: is no real safe swing. So you're taking a chance
- 10:20Speaker 1: on some level on everybody because you don't know how
- 10:21Speaker 1: they're going to translate. So I don't know which why
- 10:25Speaker 1: they're gonna pay. I would take Hutchinson because I'm I'm
- 10:29Speaker 1: I'm the safe guy. I don't, unlike Brian is going
- 10:32Speaker 1: to be in the casinos this weekend. I don't like
- 10:37Speaker 1: losing money, So I'm I'm that guy. Let me gamble.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I I think the safest player in the draft is
- 10:41Speaker 1: the guard Quando. I think he's the guy who has
- 10:44Speaker 1: that ability to separate and be I call him a guard.
- 10:47Speaker 1: He's a tackle at North Carolina State. I think he's
- 10:49Speaker 1: Quittin Nelson. And if he's Quitton Nelson, he's super special.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I think he's the safest pick in the draft. Very true.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And I don't think it was a coincidence that Bulky
- 10:58Speaker 1: at the end of his press conference it was the
- 10:59Speaker 1: most awesome quote that this is the last time he
- 11:01Speaker 1: will have the number one overall pick. That's something he's
- 11:05Speaker 1: gonna have his mind on. I mean, this is and
- 11:06Speaker 1: you talk about a safe choice, fun Bulky, and I
- 11:08Speaker 1: want to keep my job a safe choice. Yeah, do
- 11:11Speaker 1: you need a safe choice? You need a home run swing.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I could see both sides. I would think if if
- 11:17Speaker 1: my job is on the line, which it's not at
- 11:19Speaker 1: this point, but with Bulky saying that at the end
- 11:21Speaker 1: of the draft press conference, I would go the smart choice. Yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 1: you gotta have a guy that can play. But this
- 11:32Speaker 1: is the intrigue that never ends. GM's don't want to
- 11:36Speaker 1: miss at the end of the day. Uh So. I
- 11:40Speaker 1: don't know how Trent feels philosophic about this, but a
- 11:44Speaker 1: lot of GM they would rather have a double. Yeah,
- 11:49Speaker 1: there's run, and I think you can hit a double
- 11:53Speaker 1: with three of those four guys. I think both the
- 11:56Speaker 1: tackles and Hutcheson are really good players, and I think
- 11:59Speaker 1: Walker it's gonna be a good player. The question is
- 12:02Speaker 1: better than those other guys started for one year. So
- 12:05Speaker 1: let's see and the pass rush move then, I mean,
- 12:09Speaker 1: I mean the book is that Hutchinson's a pass rusher,
- 12:13Speaker 1: has the move, has a and Walker still needs to
- 12:16Speaker 1: learn how to pass rush. Uh. That can scare NFL
- 12:20Speaker 1: people because either you're a sack guy or not. There
- 12:23Speaker 1: are people who think if you don't have double sacks
- 12:25Speaker 1: in college, it wouldn't matter what level you're at, it's
- 12:28Speaker 1: gonna be hard to get that in the pros because
- 12:31Speaker 1: you gotta learn to do it not being refined. That
- 12:34Speaker 1: does scare people. One of thing real quick, Aidan Hutchinson
- 12:36Speaker 1: really had one great year also, it was spectacular and
- 12:41Speaker 1: so people remember that. But he missed the season before
- 12:43Speaker 1: with a broken ankle. Yeah, so it wasn't as if
- 12:46Speaker 1: he's done this for three complete years. But Jaguars are
- 12:50Speaker 1: future focused and ready for a new look in to
- 12:53Speaker 1: join us at the bank this season as head coach

- 13:51Speaker 1: at Daily's Place. A lot coming up this week for
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Jags head coach. Next week is gonna be exciting
- 13:56Speaker 1: in a lot of different aspects because it would be
- 13:59Speaker 1: the first time that our players, um you know, with
- 14:02Speaker 1: the off season program, we get to actually go on
- 14:04Speaker 1: the field and and do some field activities next week
- 14:06Speaker 1: with our current roster, and then of course the draft
- 14:08Speaker 1: is right on the heels of that. And and then
- 14:10Speaker 1: get a chance to you know, see our fans and
- 14:12Speaker 1: interact with our fans and and you know see the
- 14:15Speaker 1: enthusiasm excitement that they have, uh for our team moving
- 14:18Speaker 1: forward in two and and so for me, you know,
- 14:21Speaker 1: we just kind of it's it's almost like a game
- 14:23Speaker 1: day scenario where you kind of feed off of the
- 14:25Speaker 1: enthusiasm and the emotion of the crowd. So there you
- 14:27Speaker 1: have it. Actually, I think this will be Peterson's first
- 14:32Speaker 1: appearance in front of fans on the stage as the
- 14:34Speaker 1: JAG's head coach. Of him. He's had a couple here
- 14:37Speaker 1: they're gathering, but yeah, this is the big, the big moment,
- 14:40Speaker 1: if you will. So I can imagine he's excited. It's
- 14:42Speaker 1: a big week. It's a big statement week. So we're
- 14:44Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I keep meeting people who have
- 14:47Speaker 1: met him on the community and and all they say
- 14:50Speaker 1: is he seems like a regular guy. He is he
- 14:54Speaker 1: is now he is, and I think people are gonna
- 14:55Speaker 1: that's just gonna come shining through. There's not a lot
- 14:57Speaker 1: of this celebrity nonsense that we had with the other guy.
- 15:01Speaker 1: The other part of that is it's phase two of
- 15:04Speaker 1: the off season program, so the coaches can be on
- 15:07Speaker 1: the field with players. There's still no helmets, they can't
- 15:10Speaker 1: do one on one stuff. Um you know that they're
- 15:13Speaker 1: basically doing warm up stretch type things, but they're doing
- 15:17Speaker 1: stuff now. Yeah. I think to get the image of
- 15:21Speaker 1: Doug Peterson on the field with players for the first
- 15:23Speaker 1: time as another notable thing this week. It won't get
- 15:25Speaker 1: the coverage that normally would get because of the draft
- 15:27Speaker 1: this week, which I think that's always interesting how they
- 15:29Speaker 1: have it the same week. But yeah, to have that
- 15:32Speaker 1: image of Trevor and Doug on the field in a
- 15:34Speaker 1: football environment is notable. Phase two is a step forward
- 15:37Speaker 1: from Phase one. JP the truth. Yeah, that's the next
- 15:41Speaker 1: in line. Really, it is the next step. John loves
- 15:44Speaker 1: this this phase. He's all about the off seasons. It's
- 15:49Speaker 1: it's just so difficult to analyze or have anything intelligent
- 15:53Speaker 1: to say about at this point because it is what
- 15:57Speaker 1: it is, and how how often will you reference it
- 15:59Speaker 1: Once you get to training camps you won't reference it
- 16:01Speaker 1: at all. No, you won't go back. And you remember
- 16:03Speaker 1: that O t a practice where he can't ball, right,
- 16:06Speaker 1: I mean, you just won't. It's just it lives in
- 16:08Speaker 1: its own little space and time and otherwise we will
- 16:11Speaker 1: analyze it. Yeah, the phase three, buddy, another step. Why
- 16:16Speaker 1: is that is that when it's open to the media.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I have no idea
- 16:21Speaker 1: how it's different. No, it's it Phase two's I mean.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Phase three is O T A S. Which is actual
- 16:27Speaker 1: balls in the air and you're throwing and there is
- 16:30Speaker 1: at least a semblance of running place. So that will
- 16:33Speaker 1: be interesting. And there's all ten of them. You got
- 16:35Speaker 1: the two that they were, they had back, they got
- 16:37Speaker 1: them back. They got back. So got that going, which
- 16:41Speaker 1: is nice. Hey you're going to Vegas, Yep, Bellagio that's uh,
- 16:46Speaker 1: that's the NFL Hotel and that's you know, people who
- 16:49Speaker 1: have been on the strip, they've seen that fountain and
- 16:51Speaker 1: the stage is set up in the fountain. You can
- 16:53Speaker 1: google and see photos of it right now. It's um.
- 16:56Speaker 1: I think I've said this before. I thought Chicago did
- 16:58Speaker 1: a great job in Grant Park um and Philadelphia on
- 17:02Speaker 1: the Parkway at the at the Museum of Art, they
- 17:05Speaker 1: did a fantastic job. It was so much fun in Philly.
- 17:07Speaker 1: I didn't really care for Dallas because it was so
- 17:09Speaker 1: spread out. Um, but I thought that Nashville did an
- 17:13Speaker 1: amazing job on Broadway. Um. I thought if you could
- 17:17Speaker 1: put it in Nashville every year, I would think it
- 17:19Speaker 1: would take it. Put it in Nashville, because I think
- 17:22Speaker 1: Vegas is going to be over the top. I just
- 17:25Speaker 1: don't even know what to expect. Yeah, I could see
- 17:27Speaker 1: it similar to Tallas, where it's it's very spread out
- 17:29Speaker 1: and large, and it's an easy airport for people to
- 17:33Speaker 1: get to from. I mean, I just think it's gonna
- 17:35Speaker 1: be flooded. The quaint days in Las Vegas are long
- 17:38Speaker 1: since over, and it once it's been in Vegas, you know,
- 17:41Speaker 1: next year it's going to Kansas City. And then then
- 17:45Speaker 1: where's it going? Is it going to Detroit? Yes? Detroit.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I mean it's they're using it like the super Bowl.
- 17:51Speaker 1: They're moving it around and they're leveraging it in markets
- 17:54Speaker 1: to get stadium improvements and things that they want. How
- 17:56Speaker 1: long until it goes to Los Angeles? I mean it's
- 17:59Speaker 1: that's got to be the next one right along until
- 18:00Speaker 1: it comes to Jacksonville. There's got to be some development
- 18:03Speaker 1: around here. Well that's starting. Yeah, you could see it eventually.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And Shot has talked about the Draft way back when
- 18:11Speaker 1: he talked about the Draft as a possibility as opposed
- 18:14Speaker 1: to the super Bowl because the hotel situation he didn't
- 18:17Speaker 1: think would lend itself a super Bowl, but Draft for
- 18:21Speaker 1: one night conceivably could one of years from now, we'll
- 18:24Speaker 1: be talking about it. Well, you wonder when he said
- 18:29Speaker 1: that it made a lot of sense now, I think
- 18:33Speaker 1: Downtown again has some growing to do to get there
- 18:35Speaker 1: because the Draft is become so much bigger than a game.
- 18:38Speaker 1: But even thought it would when first you've out of
- 18:41Speaker 1: New York, when it was in Chicago, I thought, yeah,
- 18:43Speaker 1: the Jackson that this could happen in Jacksonville at the
- 18:45Speaker 1: Downtown Vision because that's when they started talking about the shipyards.
- 18:48Speaker 1: By the time it got to Nashville, I was like, wow,
- 18:50Speaker 1: I mean this is a big production. And then I
- 18:52Speaker 1: mean Vegas is going to make it. It's Vegas and
- 18:55Speaker 1: you start it into the hotel issue. So I have
- 18:58Speaker 1: to live up to for sure in the years ahead.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Coming up this week, We'll Love the Huddle Up Podcast
- 19:02Speaker 1: Tuesday tomorrow with Bucky Brooks joining us. Bucky will be

- 19:23Speaker 1: and then Thursday Draft Day, busy seven o'clock radio show
- 19:27Speaker 1: in tinton Xel until midnight seven thirty pre draft show
- 19:31Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com, Live analysis after the pick on
- 19:34Speaker 1: the team site and the Jaguars social channels Twitter, Facebook,
- 19:38Speaker 1: and YouTube. John, you look so excited and ready to roll.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I mean paper closing who you got? Who? I mean,
- 19:46Speaker 1: how do you think they're taking JP? I'm gonna stick
- 19:49Speaker 1: with Hutchinson even though there's some more mocks today. Peter
- 19:54Speaker 1: King pick Trayvon Walker. I mean, you know you hear
- 19:59Speaker 1: the Talkey likes Walker. I never know how much all
- 20:03Speaker 1: that means. I still in those moments leading up to like,
- 20:09Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys felt this last year,
- 20:11Speaker 1: but even right before the Trevor pick, you're like, is
- 20:12Speaker 1: it really okay? It is? There's always that little thing
- 20:16Speaker 1: of what if they didn't do it this year. The
- 20:20Speaker 1: intrigue at number one is gonna be fascinating unless some
- 20:25Speaker 1: report comes out in the next couple of days. But
- 20:29Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when it comes in,
- 20:31Speaker 1: if it's not Hutchinson, I'll still be surprised, Okay, and
- 20:34Speaker 1: I'll go the opposite way because remember when Doug Peterson
- 20:37Speaker 1: got hired, he said this is not a one year fix,
- 20:40Speaker 1: and so I think the offensive line Cam has not
- 20:43Speaker 1: signed a long term deal. He did sign his tender. Um.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I think that's the offensive lineman. Because there will be
- 20:49Speaker 1: pass rushers. There will be pass rushers at the top
- 20:52Speaker 1: of the second round. There will be a player there,
- 20:55Speaker 1: whether it's the kid from Purdue or whether the kid
- 20:58Speaker 1: from Penn State. There will be a path stress you're there.
- 21:00Speaker 1: And what's the difference between Aidan Hutchinson and the kid
- 21:03Speaker 1: from Penn Staid to the kid from Purdue. I don't
- 21:05Speaker 1: know that's got But I say they're gonna take a
- 21:07Speaker 1: Kuanu with the first overall pick because it is not
- 21:11Speaker 1: just about this year. It's about the foreseeable future and
- 21:15Speaker 1: the offensive line still needs to be fortified. I still
- 21:19Speaker 1: think it's hutch Walker, Kwan O'Neil. It's still the order chance,
- 21:24Speaker 1: but I like it. I'm just making it. I'm making
- 21:26Speaker 1: the pace for something different. That's all makes sense. So
- 21:31Speaker 1: you have it. Our picks are in the draft coming
- 21:33Speaker 1: up this week. Thank you for listening on Jaguars. Come
