• 0:13
  Okay, so originally I was supposed to put out this episode yesterday. We have some technical difficulties
• 0:17
  So now we're gonna do it again, but this time we got way more news that we have to talk about
• 0:24
  Yes, we have a bag alert, but we also have a lot of movement going around

• 0:34
  Jire Alexander is on the move Khalil Shakir gets paid the state of the NFC West
• 0:39
  Okay, including the 49ers the Seahawks the Cardinals and the Rams and we are going to be reacting
• 0:47
  To a Mel Kuyper mock draft. Okay, this is they pre combine
• 0:52
  Mocked ref, okay all of this and more on the 17th episode of football junkies podcast
• 0:57
  Okay, I am your host with the most. Okay. I am your GM who currently is not on the team right now
• 1:03
  But don't you worry about it? Okay. I am your chief bagro Domus. Okay anything and everything related to the bag and more
• 1:10
  Okay, I am the person who has three mock drafts
• 1:14
  Already in my back pocket, but don't you worry about it. I may drop it. I may keep it
• 1:20
  Who knows who knows who knows but guess what I am all
• 1:24
  These things and more okay, but guess what the most important thing that you must remember is
• 1:30
  I am your host who's gonna drop some truth bombs some knowledge bombs and some things that you may not like but guess what?
• 1:37
  You're gonna agree with it because why I'm right. So guess what you already know what I'm getting right say
• 1:42
  You already know my spell. So guess what on three one, two, three, let's lock in Oh
• 2:12
  Right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on in the league right now
• 2:17
  So we have a lot of movement going around
• 2:20
  Yes, today is the first day of the combine where you get to see all the workouts and whatnot
• 2:25
  I think it's supposed to be happening around 3 this afternoon
• 2:28
  So I'll definitely be watching it probably taking some notes of you know, some some players and whatnot
• 2:34
  But you know, I'll keep you posted on all those things and more so let's just do everything
• 2:39
  Okay, because we have a lot to unpack. So let's start with Harold Landry. So yesterday
• 2:45
  News broke that Harold Landry former Titans because he's definitely gonna get traded was given permission by the Titans to seek a trade
• 2:52
  So when we look at you know his stats in 2021, he had 12 sacks
• 2:57
  2022 I think he had a season ending injury so we can't count that
• 3:01
  2023 he had ten and a half sacks and then this past season he had nine sacks
• 3:05
  So he's still a really productive patch rusher. Okay now when we go down to the financial part of everything
• 3:12
  The last two years are not guaranteed
• 3:15
  so all in all this is a really good situation for anybody that inherits Harold Landry only because
• 3:22
  The last two years are easy to work with it's only
• 3:26
  17.5 million at best if you want you could have him play out the rest of his deal, of course making it guaranteed
• 3:33
  There's different ways that you can go about this now
• 3:37
  We all know most likely everyone is going to link him to the pages just because he played under Mike Vrabel
• 3:42
  But I don't think he's going to be playing under Mike Vrabel. I think he wants to go to a contender
• 3:46
  I think he wants to go to a team like
• 3:50
  You know the Chiefs or the Ravens or the Bills or the 49ers or even the Eagles
• 3:55
  I think this will probably be a great replacement for Josh sweat if you are the Eagles
• 4:01
  Because his financials are really good
• 4:04
  It's not something where you have this exuberant contract that you have to figure out how you're going to crunch down or you have to give up
• 4:10
  High compensation just just so they can take on the guarantees like no if you wanted to you can guarantee at least
• 4:17
  One of the two years or both years or whatever the case may be you have options with Harold Landry
• 4:24
  And I think he would be willing to do something different if it meant that he was on a contender
• 4:30
  He has a real chance of actually winning compared to someone like a Miles Garrett where you're gonna have to reset the market for him
• 4:39
  There is no if-ands or buts about it now if you went to a team like the Eagles or the Chiefs or somewhere like that
• 4:46
  They may be able to talk him off the ledge, but still he's still gonna want his money
• 4:51
  That's just who he is now when we look at you know
• 4:53
  All the other things that are going on because it is a lot of it's a lot of stuff moving around
• 4:59
  Just because the combine is for you know all the potential people that may be drafted
• 5:04
  This is a time where you hear a lot of rumors a lot of things going on like there was
• 5:11
  There was a story and I lied to you not I might make this the cover art
• 5:17
  There was literally a story that broke yesterday that talked about how Ian Rappaport NFL Network insider
• 5:25
  Was confronted by a by a Fox insider Jordan Schultz at a Starbucks and
• 5:32
  They literally had a verbal spat in the Starbucks. They were going back and forth
• 5:39
  Jordan Schultz
• 5:41
  Was with it
• 5:43
  He was with it
• 5:45
  He approached him because apparently if I'm not mistaken this all stems from a situation to where
• 5:52
  There was a there was basically a source of confirming if either Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady
• 5:58
  You know have met up to talk or whatnot
• 6:00
  So originally Jordan Schultz put out the report that said that they did meet up
• 6:05
  But then shortly after you have people like Ian Rappaport, Adam Schefter and people of that caliber
• 6:11
  That basically debunked it and then you had Tom Brady's agent that also said that it didn't happen as well
• 6:17
  So in my mind I'm thinking if you have someone like an Adam Schefter if you have someone like an Ian Rappaport
• 6:23
  Both very credible people who have major pull in the league if both of them are saying the exact same thing
• 6:30
  And then the agent of said player says that says it as well
• 6:34
  Then it is credible
• 6:36
  So all in all we have
• 6:40
  Man this the source office is real
• 6:44
  It is real folks
• 6:46
  It is a real thing I did not expect for this to get this bad
• 6:53
  I would have thought you know of course people you know post different things and whatnot, but it's like bro
• 6:59
  Y'all are really arguing with each other as a Starbucks because of who was right and who was wrong like are you really serious right now?
• 7:08
  Come on
• 7:09
  Come on, please
• 7:11
  Come on. Well. What are we doing? What?
• 7:13
  What are we doing here folks, but let's get back to everything so
• 7:18
  Jonathan Allen is on the move definitely did not expect this definitely was a major curveball
• 7:24
  but
• 7:25
  Yeah, let's get into his financials. Well actually no, let's not let's not get to the financials first. Let's get into a status
• 7:30
  So in 2021 he had nine sacks 2022 he had seven and a half
• 7:34
  2023 have five and a half then this year he had three now when we shift everything over to the financials
• 7:41
  It's a little bit odd
• 7:43
  Okay, and I'll explain it so his cap hit this year is 22.3 million
• 7:49
  Okay, but his base salary this year is only 15.5 million. He's at the end of his current contract
• 7:55
  So he's looking for a new contract. I don't understand why Washington would just give him an extension
• 8:02
  Now is it because of the robust defensive line class?
• 8:05
  Possibly is it because they could be in the you know in the works or trying to get someone like a Miles Garrett
• 8:11
  That's a possibility or any of these patch rushes that will be available. That is a possibility as well
• 8:17
  But I wonder how big is Jonathan Allen's market only because he came off of
• 8:25
  Peck injury which originally it was supposed to be a season-ending injury
• 8:29
  But then he decided to come back and he was able to get a new contract
• 8:33
  But then he decided to come back, you know, the rest is history. I
• 8:38
  Wonder is that going to have a negative effect on him when it comes to talking to other teams?
• 8:45
  Because as of right now you cannot say that Jonathan Allen is worth
• 8:50
  2530 35 to 45 million a year
• 8:52
  You can't say that you can't make him a top defensive lineman in the NFL history
• 8:57
  You just cannot do that now you will probably give him a bump in pay
• 9:00
  You can maybe give him to like sweeten the pot like I said in the first episode of the divisional rodeo
• 9:06
  you could do that or
• 9:09
  You know you
• 9:11
  How can I say this there's different ways that you could attack this situation instead of just doing
• 9:18
  What you're doing now, which is allowing him to talk to other teams now granted
• 9:22
  You can probably get you know compensation forward and then you can use that to address other needs
• 9:26
  Yes, you can do that because again you have a lot of cap space and you don't have to break the bank for someone
• 9:33
  Like a Jonathan Allen no disrespect to him. I'm not breaking the bank for you now when I have to
• 9:39
  repay Bobby Wagner and Jeremy Chen and Dante Fowler jr. And
• 9:43
  Diami Brown and Noah Brown and I'm trying to build
• 9:47
  You know this team out so that we can go right back to where we were or even further than where we were last year
• 9:53
  Like there's a lot of stuff that I'm trying to do and I cannot do that if I'm trying to pay you top dollar money
• 9:59
  I wonder how is this going to play out and who are the teams are going to be interested?
• 10:05
  Because again, this is a really robust defensive line class
• 10:09
  You are still going to be able to find a quality defensive lineman in the later parts of this draft
• 10:14
  You're still gonna be able to find someone like an NDS peoples. There is Alexander
• 10:19
  And I's your stack house all those guys so you're gonna have options
• 10:25
  So I wonder did that play part into the commander's just allowing him to go somewhere else
• 10:32
  And that's the same thing with Dave and gotcha sure I
• 10:36
  Understand why the Patriots may would have wanted to you know, get off of get off of him
• 10:42
  But even when you look at his financials, it's not really that bad
• 10:46
  It's actually really team friendly his base salary is only 4 million
• 10:52
  This year and then next year is only 6.5. Like that's not really bad at all
• 10:57
  So I wonder with the robust defensive line class and then everybody getting a bump in and pay with a salary cap
• 11:04
  I wonder is that the reason why a lot of teams are saying hey listen
• 11:08
  We'll allow you to go somewhere else to other teams figure out what your price point is and will grant you your wish
• 11:14
  Do I think a lot of these?
• 11:17
  Transactions are gonna happen. No, do I think this is more of a ploy to possibly?
• 11:23
  Get a feel of the league feels about them from a contractual standpoint. Yes for sure
• 11:28
  But only time will tell this point, but I will say this moving forward
• 11:32
  There's definitely going to be a lot of rumors a lot of murmurs and whatnot. I will say this
• 11:37
  This is for any person because even sometimes I get caught up in it myself
• 11:41
  Do not believe everything that you see on social media
• 11:45
  just because somebody says oh I have an insider that says that
• 11:50
  the Rams and Matthew Stafford or you know are gonna finalize a deal for a
• 11:55
  65 million a year and you know, he's getting a hundred a hundred million in guarantees do not believe them. Okay if
• 12:02
  It is not coming like an Adam Schefter Ian Rappaport
• 12:06
  Mike Garofalo Tom Pellicero Kimberly Martin Jay Glazer if it's not coming from any of those credible people
• 12:13
  Even Jordan Schultz despite the whole you know
• 12:17
  Starbucks situation if it is not coming from any of those people credible insiders beat writers
• 12:24
  Journalists if it is not coming from any of those type of people do not believe it or if it's not coming from that agent
• 12:31
  Or if it's not coming from a GM if it's not coming from any of those people do not believe it a lot of times we get
• 12:38
  our
• 12:38
  Unnecessary things and we think all this is true or this is not true if it's not coming from someone that is credible
• 12:46
  That actually has insider information that is actually connected with basically every single team
• 12:53
  Then there is no need for you to believe it now that I've
• 12:56
  I've gone on my little my little rant and whatnot because I see that a lot especially with with the Steelers
• 13:02
  Community I definitely see that a lot where a lot of people who are not credible that are saying a lot of stuff
• 13:07
  That's not true. I just had to put that put that out there even for me like if I have not read anything
• 13:13
  Heard anything or or anything like that? I'm not going to tell you all about it
• 13:18
  It would be wrong for me to put out baseless lies. That's not what we do over here at the football junkies podcast
• 13:23
  So on to somebody else that could be also on the move and that is Jonah Jackson
• 13:27
  Okay, but it's understandable and the only reason why I say that is because
• 13:32
  with the Rams
• 13:34
  Which shout out to them because they do such an amazing job when it comes to their offensive lineman
• 13:39
  They have so many good quality guard. You could just let him go
• 13:43
  You don't have to find a way to like keep him in you don't have to do that. You can just let him walk
• 13:48
  It's no problem. You still have two other really high quality guards
• 13:52
  They're playing really consistent and really good ball. So with Jonah Jackson, okay, he's on the last year of his deal
• 13:58
  so right now his base salary is only 4.3 million and
• 14:02
  His cap paid at only 4.3 million, but he's due for some money soon
• 14:07
  Okay, so according to the spot racks market value. He is worth three years
• 14:13
  47.8 million which is 16 million a year. I pay for someone like a Jonah Jackson most likely
• 14:19
  Because right now what we're starting to see is and this is sort of me being back row dominance as I put on my back row
• 14:25
  Dominoes cape and whatnot
• 14:28
  We're starting to see a shift where interior offensive lineman are starting to get paid more just to counteract
• 14:35
  The interior defensive lineman they are getting paid and are being game records
• 14:41
  So now you're starting to see that teams are really starting to invest in two offensive lines
• 14:47
  Just because you have to be able to you know negate someone like a Max Crosby like a miles Gary like a Chris Jones
• 14:55
  Like a Michael Parsons like a TJ watt like a Daniel Hunter or Will Anderson people of those sorts
• 15:02
  You have to be able to find a way to counteract them
• 15:05
  Otherwise your quarterback is going to be a sitting duck every single time and the only way that you can do that is if you pay
• 15:12
  Your players so for Jonah Jackson
• 15:14
  I think he will have a very robust market because there's not a lot of high quality productive
• 15:21
  Interior offensive lineman available, so I think he will have a strong market now the question is
• 15:27
  Where would he go?
• 15:29
  Do I think teams like maybe the Chiefs or the Ravens or the Lions or the 49ers will be interesting for sure?
• 15:37
  I think no matter where he goes. He's gonna be fairly compensated fairly well
• 15:42
  And will be an instant upgrade over what they have currently now
• 15:47
  Let's keep this train going here folks because we still have a whole lot of people that we have to talk about okay
• 15:52
  I think this is the final person that we have to talk about when it comes to people that are on the move
• 15:56
  And that is Jai your Alexander, okay, so
• 15:59
  Jai here according to Ian Rappaport is being shopped around
• 16:03
  This situation is a little bit weird than all the other ones right because this one
• 16:09
  I think sort of has a little bit of a backstory with it
• 16:13
  I would have to do a little bit of a big day, but you know he's missed a few games
• 16:18
  He really hasn't been as healthy as you probably should it's it's a lot of backstory with the Jai your Alexander situation
• 16:25
  It's nothing you know like super crazy or super serious
• 16:28
  But I think the Packers realized that listen
• 16:30
  We have someone that has a very large contract that we're trying to get rid of
• 16:35
  That at this point really hasn't been as productive and as reliable as we need him to be and I think it's just time that we go
• 16:42
  In a different direction now when we look at the financial aspect of this his base salary this year is gonna be 16
• 16:48
  16.1 million and then next year is gonna be 18.1 million now when we look at the cap hit this work
• 16:55
  Things get a little bit weird okay cap hit this year is 25.4 million and then next year is 27.8 million so either way
• 17:03
  Wherever he goes most likely there is going to be some form of a restructure now
• 17:08
  Is it gonna be a major structure is gonna be an extension? What is exactly going to be?
• 17:14
  Because right now I don't care what anyone says
• 17:17
  Jai your Alexander is still one of the best corners in the league
• 17:21
  He can still hold his own against a Jamar chase a DK Metcalf a Brandon I Eweig a Justin Jefferson
• 17:28
  Receivers of that world he can still go toe-to-toe with them without a safety over top now the question is
• 17:36
  Where would be the best?
• 17:38
  Place for someone like a Jairo Alexander now you probably think of the Ravens
• 17:43
  You can probably think of the Steelers you can probably think of the Eagles you can probably think of the Chiefs
• 17:47
  You can probably think of the 49ers there are multiple teams right now that would definitely want to have someone like a Jairo Alexander
• 17:53
  Alexander because despite the injuries he is still excuse me a number one corner
• 17:59
  Compensation for Jairo Alexander my guess is will probably be a first-round pick
• 18:03
  And the only reason why I say that is because for one he has very high cap hits for both this year and next year
• 18:10
  And on top of that his base salary is still pretty high as well
• 18:15
  So I think if you give them a first-round pick the you know with the notion that
• 18:20
  You're gonna have to take on some of his guarantees. I think the Packers will be willing to do that compared to
• 18:27
  Just allowing him to go for like a second or a third or fourth round pick now
• 18:32
  Is there going to be a team that may try to you know finesse it? There's a possibility
• 18:36
  I think a team like the Eagles
• 18:38
  They could definitely pick to get someone like a Jairo Alexander because outside of Quinn you are Mitchell
• 18:44
  Who do you have and Darius Lay is getting up in age? Do you want to keep Darius Lay for another year?
• 18:49
  I don't know. That's still a question that they have to figure out pretty pretty soon. You know not to mention
• 18:56
  with the quarterback class being as
• 18:59
  Not as big as what it has been the last two or three years
• 19:03
  I think a team would be more open to going after someone like a Jairo Alexander somebody that is proven
• 19:09
  Compared to someone like a Will Johnson or Benjamin Moore or Siobhan Revo Trey Amos
• 19:14
  Jada Ibarian
• 19:16
  Just few right and so
• 19:18
  I wonder what exactly caused the Packers to just say you know what we're just done with it
• 19:24
  We're done with it. We'll we'll let you go somewhere else. We're tired
• 19:28
  We don't want to deal with this no more like what exactly has happened because the last few years
• 19:35
  We've been hearing the blames about the Packers
• 19:38
  Which majority are Alexander and then there was a situation with the receiver
• 19:42
  I forgot who the receiver was where he didn't show up to a game and so they suspended him for one game
• 19:47
  But only time will tell I will say this
• 19:50
  He's probably gonna get moved pretty quickly. I think right now
• 19:53
  There's probably at least two or three teams that are like really serious about this and would do whatever they need to do to close this deal
• 20:02
  Because again, it's very rare that you have a high elite corner someone like a Jairo Alexander
• 20:09
  That is available via trade. Okay. Let's get into this baglar
• 20:13
  Okay, so Buffalo Bills receiver Khalil Shakir has inked a four-year sixty point two million dollar deal
• 20:18
  Two million guaranteed at signing with fifteen million a year
• 20:21
  Okay, and when we look at his stats 76 receptions for 821 receiving yards for touchdowns and ten point eight receiving yards per reception
• 20:29
  All in all this is a really good team friendly deal
• 20:31
  Okay, you have someone that is really reliable has been very productive in both
• 20:36
  You know the regular season and in the offseason who has made some dynamic
• 20:41
  plays especially in the playoffs, so all in all it's a great signing and
• 20:46
  Not to mention. I don't think Khalil Shakir has you know this robust market where it's you know
• 20:53
  20 25 or like 30 million a year like no he's still you know
• 20:59
  Maybe like to tier two or like tier three when it comes to receivers, which is still not bad
• 21:04
  He's still a really productive receiver like he is somebody that when you need
• 21:10
  Him the most guess what he's going to make that play. I can't tell you how many times
• 21:14
  I've seen a Khalil Shakir play being made at the most randomest time Josh Allen and him are like
• 21:23
  Kobe and Shaq okay, they they don't have to talk. It's just something that they do all right
• 21:28
  They just have a chemistry between the two of them all right, and he's definitely been a really consistent receiver
• 21:34
  Since you know the departure of Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis
• 21:37
  So all in all it's a really good deal like deals like these
• 21:43
  It's amazing. It's not something that is going to break the bank not something where you're going to have to you know figure out
• 21:50
  Okay, how we're going to be able to create cash space because this is a deal that is team-friendly
• 21:55
  That they can easily get out of and it's something to where Khalil Shakir gets his money up front and
• 22:00
  The bills really don't have to worry about you know the backlash that comes with it
• 22:04
  Okay, because at best he's probably a two or three on anybody else's team now
• 22:10
  Let's get into the divisional rodeo folks
• 22:15
  We're doing it
• 22:16
  West Coast style okay, NFC West to be specific so you already know the spill
• 22:22
  We go over the salary free agents draft picks positions of need candidates for restructure extension trade and cut okay
• 22:29
  So let's start with the 49ers okay, so with their salary
• 22:34
  They have forty seven point one million in cash space which is 12th in league and they have a roll over cap of fifty million
• 22:40
  Now when we look at their free agents our various war Dre Greenlaw Devon Dre Campbell John Flanciano
• 22:45
  But he retired Josh Dobbs Kevin Gevens Brandon Allen Demetrius Flanagan Flowers
• 22:51
  Rock out saying Khalil Davis and Talanua Hufanga just to name a few
• 22:55
  When we look at their draft picks of course they have their first their second they have two third round picks three fourth round picks
• 23:01
  One fifth round pick one sixth round pick and three seventh round picks their positions of need
• 23:08
  Offensive line defensive line corner linebacker receiver running back. I'm going to add one more
• 23:14
  Now these last two are going to be really controversial, but just roll with me okay
• 23:19
  Quarterback so when it comes to offensive line the 49ers have really liked the offensive line for a while
• 23:25
  Granted you have someone in Trent Williams who was the anchor of your left side, but outside of him who can you trust?
• 23:33
  Who can you really say that hey if this person goes down? Hey, we can plug them in there's no problem
• 23:40
  He won't he won't lose a beat nothing won't happen. Everything's gonna be fine. You don't have that and so
• 23:45
  You have to invest high into the offensive line now
• 23:49
  I'm not saying that you have to draft offensive linemen
• 23:53
  You know in the first round every single year no
• 23:55
  But what I am saying is this you are going to have to make an investment a high investment into offensive line at some point
• 24:03
  Because if you don't your quarterback is going to get crushed and so
• 24:08
  What we're seeing is a team especially offensively
• 24:11
  Where a lot of their players have just aged and so right now if you want to stay at least somewhat competitive
• 24:19
  You are going to have to put in some fresh younger productive players
• 24:24
  And you have to start at the offensive line your right tackle has to get fixed guard has to get fixed
• 24:31
  Center I haven't really seen a whole lot with their center. I think center could could definitely be fine, but
• 24:36
  Interior offensive line and right tackle. I think you could definitely upgrade that
• 24:41
  Because right now all you have is Trent Williams
• 24:44
  That's not enough. That's not going to get you anywhere
• 24:48
  Instead you have to make proper upgrades when it comes to the offensive line now you have options
• 24:55
  You can go and you can draft one in the first round you can get a josh conley if i'm not mistaken
• 24:59
  You can get the right tackle
• 25:01
  From mazou you have options or you could go and get someone like a jonna jackson
• 25:07
  You could go and possibly get someone like a kevin zyler a more veteran approach if you want to take that route
• 25:13
  You have different options when it comes to offensive line when we look at defensive line
• 25:18
  This is a situation to where you can address it in a few different ways
• 25:22
  You could go and get someone like a jonathan allen you can go and get someone like a milton wynton
• 25:27
  Williams you can go and get someone like a jonathan allen you can go and get someone like a milton williams
• 25:32
  You can go and get someone you know in the draft if you wanted to because even in the draft
• 25:38
  You have better odds at double dipping a defensive line than you do at any other position only because of how robust
• 25:45
  The group is you're going to have your ken of grants your mason gramps your darrius alexanders your aneeas pebbles
• 25:53
  You're some high quality defensive linemen that are going to be available
• 25:56
  to pass the first round
• 25:59
  So you can go and you can make that investment twice
• 26:02
  If you really wanted to because right now the javon hardgrave deal has not matured
• 26:08
  It has not aged well if we can be honest here
• 26:12
  So now you have to find a way where you can get better productivity out of the defensive line because
• 26:20
  When you went through a season where literally you were trying to bring in defensive linemen just so you can have people on that line
• 26:29
  You brought in a kalil davis you traded for I think another defensive lineman if i'm not mistaken
• 26:34
  Like you have to bring in better quality defensive linemen to help out nick bosa
• 26:40
  Otherwise, you're not going to go anywhere
• 26:42
  We literally just saw in the super bowl what happens when you have a very productive defensive line
• 26:48
  They're going to win their reps. They're going to create pressure on the quarterback and most importantly they're going to win the championship
• 26:56
  defense still wins championships
• 26:59
  But here is the kicker
• 27:01
  It starts at the line
• 27:03
  If you win at the line everything else is just is easy
• 27:08
  But line isn't that strong. Well, then guess what?
• 27:11
  What's going to happen now? What you're going to do?
• 27:13
  You can't put no pressure on the quarterback
• 27:14
  And if you don't put no pressure on a quarterback someone like apache my homes, guess what they're going to cook you like hibachi
• 27:21
  every single time
• 27:23
  So you're going to have to make that investment now when we look at corner
• 27:27
  You could go and you can draft someone like a will johnson like a chevron revel like a benjamin morrison like
• 27:33
  A trey eight most for instance. You can take that route or you can take a swing at someone like a gyre alexander if you wanted to
• 27:41
  So all in all with a cornerback position
• 27:44
  I think someone like a benjamin morrison a chevron revel will johnson. I think their draft stock is going to drop
• 27:51
  It's already been confirmed that if i'm not mistaken will johnson will not be participating at the combine
• 27:57
  He will only be participating at his pro day. So that automatically might drop his draft stock a little bit
• 28:03
  Same thing with benjamin morrison same thing with chevron revel now granted
• 28:07
  They are very productive corners that have a lot of upside with their game
• 28:13
  But the fact of the matter is do you want to commit a first round pick to someone that has the the extensive injury history?
• 28:19
  That they do have me personally. I still would do it
• 28:23
  For someone like a will johnson because will johnson is a one
• 28:28
  The injuries, you know that that just comes with football. Okay
• 28:32
  As long as he's healthy as long as he's productive. That's all that matters because you have to replace
• 28:39
  charvarius wards
• 28:41
  Role because charvarius has already said he's not coming back and we all know why he's not coming back
• 28:46
  Which you know thoughts and prayers still to you know to his family, you know, it definitely
• 28:52
  You have to be a strong person
• 28:55
  To play the regular season
• 28:57
  When you have suffered what he has suffered and for those who don't know he
• 29:02
  He lost a child during the regular season
• 29:05
  and so that is one of the major reasons why he does not want to come back to the 49ers because there's a lot of
• 29:12
  Painful memories, you know since since being in that area, that's perfectly fine. I have no problem with that
• 29:16
  But you have to replace that okay because outside of green and diamond or lennor is a slot corner
• 29:23
  We're not o'green. He could definitely be an outside corner for sure. He has the intangibles to definitely be an outside corner
• 29:29
  But you still need somebody to tag along with him. Okay now when we look at linebacker
• 29:35
  You could you know extend drey green lawn if you wanted to
• 29:39
  Or you can go and get someone like a jihad campbell or chris paul jr
• 29:43
  Or the linebacker from cal or the linebacker from arkansas like you have options there you can get barrett carter like
• 29:50
  There's different options when it comes to linebacker now granted, you know
• 29:54
  That the bondre campbell situation is a little bit sensitive for so for a few people but
• 30:01
  The fact of the matter is you're going to have to make an investment at linebacker. Where is it going to be at?
• 30:06
  Are you going to get someone like a veteran like I don't know devin white or levante david?
• 30:12
  Or you're gonna you know, just draft one me personally. I would just draft one
• 30:16
  There's no point of you continuing to try to keep all of these players like no at some point
• 30:21
  You're gonna have to let them go if you want to be able to still be a little bit competitive the 49ers window
• 30:28
  Is almost essentially closed at this point for one kyle shanahan does not trust
• 30:34
  Anybody outside of his star players if you are not a star player kyle shanahan does not trust you
• 30:40
  We have seen it multiple times when you make a simple mistake. Guess what happens?
• 30:44
  He he loses faith in you and then he just does not use you at all
• 30:49
  And that is a major not to someone like a kyle shanahan because here you are being this great offensive minded head coach
• 30:57
  And you are not able to properly utilize every single player on your team and granted you have some really productive
• 31:07
  players
• 31:08
  And for you not to really use them for whatever reason is just
• 31:13
  A major slap in the face
• 31:15
  And so now you have to figure out exactly what are you going to do moving forward?
• 31:20
  Because your team is getting old your team is not going anywhere
• 31:27
  Your team has to figure out exactly
• 31:30
  What are they going to do different this year that they haven't done in the last few years?
• 31:34
  Because everybody has caught on to the kyle shanahan plan everybody knows exactly what you're doing now
• 31:41
  Up to this point everyone was trying to figure out how to crack the code when it came to
• 31:46
  Playing against the 49ers because you guys were ahead of the game when it came to the play calling and execution and whatnot
• 31:54
  But now defensive coordinators have caught on now they know exactly what you're doing
• 31:59
  And now they know how to counteract exactly what you're doing
• 32:03
  So you have to figure out exactly
• 32:06
  What can you do?
• 32:08
  What can you do to stick out?
• 32:12
  Because right now you are not the best team in the nfc
• 32:16
  My guess you'll probably be the third maybe fourth or maybe fifth best nfc team
• 32:21
  The eagles are the first
• 32:23
  Commanders are second and then it's everybody else
• 32:27
  Now to some people you probably say well why would you put the commanders at second?
• 32:31
  The commanders right now have so much upside with their roster that it's ridiculous
• 32:36
  Okay
• 32:38
  All they really need to do is just work on their defense if they work on their defense. They're back in the nfc championship guaranteed
• 32:44
  There was a point in time where the nfc was
• 32:48
  Was the 49ers division but that is no longer the case
• 32:52
  The rams have gotten their act together the cardinals are getting their act together
• 32:57
  The seahawks are getting their act together everybody in the division is getting their act together
• 33:03
  Except for you you are continuing to read us and your team is getting older and expensive
• 33:11
  That is not how you win championships. You cannot continue to go through offseason after offseason after offseason
• 33:17
  Continuing to reset the market for players at some point the line has to be drawn
• 33:24
  Either you take this deal or go
• 33:27
  That's just what it has to be. I don't care who they are. I don't care what they've done
• 33:31
  I don't care how productive they are in the field. You have to give them an ultimatum
• 33:36
  Because you continuing to write checkbooks and you haven't been in the super bowl able to hold up on bardi
• 33:43
  It's worthless
• 33:44
  It's going to be worthless at the end of the day when everything is said and done that you guys don't have at least one championship
• 33:52
  y'all have made
• 33:54
  Trades for christian mcaffery for trent williams you paid for george kiddle you paid for brandon i.uick for debo
• 34:01
  Samuel you just repaid christian mcaffery you reset the market for nick bosa you paid for for fred warner
• 34:07
  Like you've been paying a whole bunch of people
• 34:10
  And you guys haven't won a super bowl
• 34:12
  meanwhile
• 34:13
  The chiefs won super bowls the eagles just won a super bowl. What have you guys done?
• 34:18
  Just paying players. That's not how you win. That's not how you win, bro
• 34:22
  Now granted I do think the one thing that they do have in their favor is they brought back robert
• 34:28
  Salah that was the best thing that they could have ever did you're bringing back somebody who was very productive
• 34:35
  with the defense
• 34:37
  the defense
• 34:39
  Phenomenally well under both robert salah and I can't even I can't remember his name. I can't remember his name the the um
• 34:46
  Demico ryan
• 34:47
  Thank you joe. Thank you joe
• 34:49
  Demico ryan's the defense was playing better under those two so you bring it back someone like a robert salah. I think that can
• 34:57
  Allow players like a nick bosa a fred warner
• 35:01
  Diamador lennor can believe in because you have somebody
• 35:05
  That was very productive that brought the best out of every single defensive player and had this defense being a top five defense
• 35:13
  If that defense gets its act together
• 35:16
  The 49ers could be back in the nfc championship
• 35:19
  But if they don't then guess what this will all be a waste
• 35:23
  You heard it here first and if that's the case now shanahan gotta go
• 35:28
  John lynch gotta go because y'all have made all these moves. What did he get you? Nothing
• 35:33
  That case is still empty
• 35:35
  How we is looking for another productive player that he can add so he could go and get another super bowl
• 35:42
  What are you guys doing?
• 35:44
  But when we look at receiver, okay, you have options, okay?
• 35:48
  Me personally, I feel like the day two and day three slots for receiver is better than the day one slot
• 35:54
  I feel like with day two and day three you can find some hidden gems
• 35:57
  You can definitely work with them and probably bring the best out of them
• 36:00
  You know, you can get someone like, you know, the the receiver from colorado. You can go and get someone like a jack bash
• 36:07
  jaden higgins
• 36:10
  Who was the receiver from stanford? I just forgot about his name
• 36:13
  You can go and get him you can get isaiah bond like you have options
• 36:17
  for day two and day three at receiver that I think that if you get
• 36:21
  I think would be better than trying to you know, make a big splash play for you know for receiver
• 36:27
  Even when you look at the veteran receivers for free agency
• 36:31
  What is it about them that makes you say hey, we have to go and have to you know, get them
• 36:37
  Like kena and alan
• 36:38
  I don't know. I don't think I really want to do that stephan digs. Yeah, I don't know
• 36:43
  The only person I probably would want to take this baby t higgins and even then i'm not paying you a whole lot of money
• 36:48
  I'm not paying you 30 plus million. I'm not doing that
• 36:51
  I'm going to give you the same deal that I gave the brand now you would take it or leave it
• 36:55
  I am not continuing to reset the market for people and I have not won a super bowl. I'm just not doing that now running back
• 37:04
  For this one. I was a little bit torn about only because yes, you still have christian mcaffrey
• 37:10
  but my thinking is
• 37:13
  If you reduce the amount of snaps have three kids
• 37:17
  You can keep him fresh for the second half of the season then going into the playoffs compared to just you know running him down
• 37:24
  And then by the time you get to the second half of the season
• 37:27
  He's missing three four or five games and then not to mention with this running back class being as big as it is
• 37:34
  You have to go and you have to get somebody at least at least once
• 37:37
  I mean you have debin neil caleb johnson bachel two and omari on hampton quince on
• 37:44
  Juggins trevion henderson the running back from delaware who else who else who else who else I know
• 37:50
  I know i'm missing a few but like since at running back
• 37:53
  That I think if you get them
• 37:55
  I think that could help christian mcaffrey and just help the offense as a whole when we look at candidates for restructure extension trades and cuts
• 38:03
  Rock purdy either extension or cuts
• 38:08
  And I know this is controversial, but the only reason why I say that is because when we look at his market value
• 38:13
  four years
• 38:15
  238.9 million that is
• 38:17
  59.7 million a year that's close to 60 million you are close
• 38:23
  to that press guy
• 38:25
  No
• 38:26
  I am not overpaying for rock purdy
• 38:29
  I'm not even allowing him to get close to 50. I'm not even allowing him getting close to 45
• 38:36
  I am not going to pay brock purdy a whole bunch of money now granted
• 38:40
  He didn't make it to the superbowl not going to take that away from him
• 38:44
  But what I am not going to do is commit a whole bunch of money to this quarterback
• 38:50
  And if he does not want this then guess what?
• 38:52
  Bring in a bridge quarterback see what happens see what what you get first
• 38:57
  And if you like it cool if not next year you draft your quarterback
• 39:01
  That's just what it is at this point because right now you continuing to these big checks for these players is not helping
• 39:07
  It's not going to get you closer to winning a championship alone get shit. Okay, javon. I think that's definitely expected
• 39:14
  He has not lived up to that contract that they gave him
• 39:17
  And so it's just best that you just cut your losses and just let him go debo samuel cut as well
• 39:22
  I I feel like there's no need to trade him because you're not going to get a whole lot of draft picks for him
• 39:28
  I would get him for like a sixth or seventh round pick honestly drake green law give an extended
• 39:34
  And if you took that route he would be worth a one-year 6.6 million dollar deal
• 39:40
  Which is only 6.7 million a year. That's not really bad
• 39:43
  But at the same time I feel like you do have to take care of drake green law because he plays such a pivotal role
• 39:49
  on this defense outside of fred warner like
• 39:53
  He has shown that he can be the heartbeat of this defense at times now when we look at josh dobs
• 39:59
  You can give him an extension just so you can have a quarterback
• 40:02
  You know on on the roster and whatnot just in case you know anything crazy happens, but all in all the 49ers
• 40:09
  Are in a good spot cap wise but from a talent standpoint from a roster standpoint
• 40:15
  They have a lot to work and i'll just leave it there but we do have somewhat of breaking news and that is
• 40:22
  John lynch is listening to offers for brandon iuick and this is coming from grant combe
• 40:29
  I'm going to say that again just so you can you can hear me but this time i'm going to say a little bit closer in the mic
• 40:35
  John lynch is listening to offers for brandon iuick
• 40:42
  The brandon iuick by the way that they just paid for that they just went through that whole debacle for
• 40:49
  Also john lynch has said there's no guarantee that they will pay brock purdy
• 40:56
  Once again folks we have another offseason of the 49ers drama, but let's just get into the rams
• 41:02
  Okay, so with the rams man do they have a lot of drama going on as well so for them their cap is
• 41:08
  39.2 million which is 15th in the league they have a cap of 2.7 million okay their free agents include
• 41:15
  Aleric jackson damarcus robinson tutu atwell cameron curl tyler higby john johnson in a kelo
• 41:21
  Weatherspoon so when we look at their draft picks okay they of course they got their first they don't have a second
• 41:26
  They have the third they have their fourth they don't have a fifth and they have three six round picks okay
• 41:32
  That really doesn't matter to them because they've used fifth and sixth round picks and you know turn them into pros
• 41:39
  Just saying um
• 41:42
  Let's see what else what else what else what else positions of need corner receiver tackle linebacker quarterback
• 41:49
  defense of line tied in
• 41:51
  Now let's get to quarterback first okay
• 41:54
  Let's get to the let's get to the elephant of the room here
• 41:57
  Okay, so with quarterback it's a very sticky situation okay
• 42:06
  On one hand I do believe matthew stafford does have a market on the other hand I feel like this is more of
• 42:14
  The rams are trying to see okay. What exactly are teams?
• 42:19
  How do they feel about him and what is his value?
• 42:22
  I think if his value is universally low it benefits the rams
• 42:29
  but if it's high
• 42:31
  Just let him go
• 42:32
  Bring in a bridge and just you know figure out what you're going to do next year
• 42:38
  Because right now being matthew stafford 55 or 60 million i'm just not doing that now if it's something around maybe
• 42:46
  38 maybe 45 a year
• 42:54
  I'll do it. I may have a tough time writing that check
• 42:57
  But if it's anything past that we have no we have nothing to talk about okay
• 43:02
  I mean sure you could go and maybe get someone like a justin fields or an erin rogers or
• 43:09
  Sam donald or someone like that, but
• 43:12
  I think the ball is in matthew stafford
• 43:14
  Matthew stafford has to figure out exactly what does he want to do if he wants to stay
• 43:20
  They'll accept him with open arms
• 43:22
  But if he wants to go they'll let him go they have no problem doing that whatsoever
• 43:28
  Now when we look at defensive line
• 43:30
  Their defensive line is pretty good
• 43:32
  You could go and get a veteran if you want to or you can draft one of these guys if you really wanted to you know
• 43:38
  That that's an option
• 43:39
  You know what?
• 43:41
  With with the rams because I mean you still have brendan fisk you have jared verse you have kobe turner like
• 43:47
  You have some pretty good some really good guys in your defensive line
• 43:50
  And if you wanted to add another one you could you're not necessarily sure it's like I have to do this. It's more of a
• 43:57
  Do we want to do this now do we want to do this later right?
• 44:01
  This tight end class is actually good and with someone like a tyler higbee who
• 44:06
  Is big up jen he's been battling with a lot of guys
• 44:08
  Probably want to go and you know get you a tight end you know you could get someone like a harold fennan
• 44:14
  Junior you can go and get the tight end of miami you could go and get someone like a tyler warren if you wanted to right
• 44:21
  Other position linebacker same thing i've said with with the other previous teams you can chris paul jr
• 44:27
  Specifically jihak hamill you can go and get the linebacker from um
• 44:33
  From chris paul jr
• 44:35
  Linebacker from um from cal if you wanted to you get a barrett carter you could take the veteran approach
• 44:42
  You have options there same thing with tackle you could go
• 44:46
  And you can draft one
• 44:48
  Or you can pay for one
• 44:50
  now paying for one
• 44:52
  You might be able to first deal someone like a dan more
• 44:57
  You could get them for maybe like eight maybe 12 million a year. It's not gonna break the bank
• 45:02
  You know or you can go you can draft one you can get the tackle from mazou you get the tackle from uh, ohio
• 45:09
  So you can get the tackle from oregon like you have uh different options there
• 45:13
  wide receiver
• 45:15
  That's the only position that i'm a little bit skeptical about only because
• 45:20
  The wide receiver class this year is just not good
• 45:23
  It feels like how it was maybe two or three years ago probably fine no problems whatsoever
• 45:28
  But this class outside of day one no
• 45:30
  No
• 45:31
  Now the day two and day three class I feel like there are a lot of hidden gems someone like a jaden higgins
• 45:38
  the receiver from
• 45:39
  Stanford you could get a jack best you could get saviour williams
• 45:44
  You can get isaiah bond like you have some really good notable receivers and the beauty of it is
• 45:50
  They're not all the same type you have, you know, your shifty guys. You got your fast guys
• 45:56
  You got your physical receivers. You got your blocking receivers. You got your yak receivers like you have different
• 46:03
  Archievers in this draft class, which is actually really good now when we look at corner
• 46:08
  Corner is something that if i'm the rams
• 46:12
  Do I want to prior prioritize that high?
• 46:15
  you know
• 46:16
  Do I want to go and bring in proven or do I want to get a rookie that I can build?
• 46:21
  Now the thing that would benefit them a lot is a lot of these corners are not going to be drafted high
• 46:28
  I do not expect will johnson to be drafted high. I do not expect benjamin moravon revel to be drafted high
• 46:34
  I think the only person that could be drafted high and that's depending on if he participates in the combine or not
• 46:42
  Is trey amos?
• 46:44
  outside of him
• 46:46
  Nobody else should be that super that super high
• 46:48
  Because benjamin morrison and will johnson all have the same red flag injury concerns
• 46:54
  Siobhan revel won't be available until training camp benjamin morrison might be the same boat as well
• 47:00
  And maybe even will johnson as well
• 47:03
  So all in all you have options with every single one of these positions
• 47:08
  You don't necessarily have to address it high in the draft if you don't want to
• 47:13
  If you want to wait and see how the board falls, sure you can do that
• 47:17
  If you want to go and trade down you can do that if you want to trade up you can do that
• 47:22
  You have options even with defensive line. You could get someone like an alfred collins
• 47:27
  You can get the defensive lineman from noah dayne like you get tj sanders from south carolina. You can get a defensive lineman
• 47:34
  What is his name deon walker like you have options?
• 47:38
  You have a boatload of options the rams are one of the teams where honestly speaking
• 47:43
  They have been better at drafting in the later parts of the draft
• 47:48
  Than what they have been in the first half of the draft
• 47:51
  Remember that year where they didn't have a whole lot of draft picks like they gave away
• 47:55
  I think like their first their second their third uh fourth round picks just so they can have a bowl team and whatnot
• 48:02
  And look what happened those later picks those things hit
• 48:06
  So, I don't know how they do it, but they do it
• 48:09
  They definitely do it now for the rain
• 48:12
  The rims are in a really good spot, but it all depends on what matthew staffer does and matthew staff stays with the rams
• 48:19
  They are still a wild card slash playoff caliber team
• 48:23
  If he leaves
• 48:25
  Depending who they bring in will determine if they are right back where they were last year
• 48:30
  Or nowhere at all because if they bring in someone like a erin rogers
• 48:35
  I don't think that moves the needle
• 48:37
  But if you bring in someone like a justin fields, I think there is potential
• 48:42
  I think for justin fields going to someone like a shawn mcveigh would be great because he would refine you and he would work with you
• 48:50
  To make you a better passing quarterback. I think that would be great honestly, but only time will tell
• 48:55
  But when we look at candidates for restructure extension trades and cuts matthew stafford
• 49:01
  extension or trade
• 49:02
  Okay, when we look at his market value, it's only the first time he's been in the game
• 49:06
  Market value it's only a two-year 83.3 million view which is only 41.8 million a year. That's not bad
• 49:13
  I think that's reasonable honestly, and you can make it front-loaded or you could backload it you have options
• 49:19
  Okay, joseph no boom mentioned possibly, you know his market value isn't that high. I think you could bring him back
• 49:26
  I don't see the reason to you know, let him go to to atwell same thing. The marcus robertson same thing
• 49:31
  You know
• 49:32
  You could give these guys low extensions and it won't necessarily break the bank, but at the same time you keep
• 49:38
  Some players that you really believe in
• 49:40
  I think all in all
• 49:42
  I don't think there's like a whole lot of people on their team where it's like yeah
• 49:45
  You got to get rid of them or or you got to trade this person or or you got to do this
• 49:49
  We got to do that like no like the rooms are actually in a really good space
• 49:53
  it's just right now you have to continue to build off of what you have right now because
• 49:59
  Let's be real here
• 50:00
  Give it about maybe two years
• 50:02
  They may be back in the super bowl
• 50:04
  Just saying now when we look at the cardinals, okay, their salary situation is this
• 50:09
  71.3 million in cap space with a rollover cap of 11.3 million. Okay, they're free agents
• 50:15
  kaiser white will hernandez matt prater calvin beecham zack paschall zay jones barron browning and
• 50:21
  Dennis gardic just to name a few okay, they're draft picks
• 50:25
  They have a first a second a third a fourth and a fifth their positions need for interior offensive line linebacker
• 50:32
  Pretty straightforward. Okay now with receiver
• 50:37
  I think they could trade up. I think they could go and get someone like
• 50:42
  TMAC or they could get someone like a luther bernie if they want to or they can get
• 50:45
  Amekabuka, right matthew golden you have options there or you can wait for the day two and day three selections
• 50:51
  And you can get someone like isaiah bond or jack besh or saviour williams just to name a few
• 50:57
  When we look at interior offensive line
• 51:00
  I think if you bring back someone like will hernandez, I don't think it's going to really break the bank
• 51:05
  Even when you look at his market value, it's only a two-year
• 51:08
  8.5 million dollar deal which is only 4.3 million a year. That's not bad at all
• 51:15
  You could do that or you could bring in another veteran if you wanted to or you could just draft one
• 51:20
  the carnals are starting to get their act together, okay, because
• 51:24
  We all remember where they had kylmer and d hop and aj green and jj wad and everyone was saying like oh
• 51:31
  This is gonna be a team. Everybody got to worry about and they just fell off a cliff
• 51:36
  Well now they finally got their act together and now they're in a really good space
• 51:40
  And so it's only up from here. And so their positions of need really isn't that bad
• 51:46
  Like you can go where you can get a receiver from the agency
• 51:50
  And maybe draft one, you know, it'll be perfectly fine
• 51:53
  Or you could do the same thing with linebacker or you could do the same thing with offensive line if you want to
• 51:59
  But right now they have a lot of pieces in their favor. Okay
• 52:04
  Same thing with linebacker if you want to address it high go ahead go for it
• 52:09
  Go ahead and get someone like a jihak campbell if you want to if you feel that high about go ahead and get someone like
• 52:15
  A chris paul jr. If you want to go ahead and get someone
• 52:19
  Like a barrett cardinal if you want to you have options
• 52:23
  This is the beauty of a team like the cardinals
• 52:25
  You have a lot of cap space you have a high enough draft pick where either you can trade up or you can trade down
• 52:31
  Because somebody will be interested to either trading down with you or trading up with you
• 52:37
  Just saying now when we look at extensions
• 52:40
  Restructures trades or cuts kai zero white give an extension
• 52:44
  It's not going to break the bank two years 11.5 million, which is only 5.8 million a year. Not bad
• 52:50
  Zejong same thing his market value one year 1.4 million, you know 1.4 million a year. That's not bad
• 52:57
  Calvin beach him he may have a market just because he's a swing tackle and he's a really productive and consistent swing tackle
• 53:06
  He may have a market that might be the one where
• 53:09
  He may
• 53:11
  He may test the free agency
• 53:13
  He may test the free agency, but even with his market value, it's only a one year 4 million dollar deal
• 53:18
  Which is only 4.1 million a year. That's not bad. That's actually really good
• 53:24
  The cardinals are in a really good spot
• 53:26
  Just saying I wouldn't be surprised if they made a few splashy moves
• 53:30
  In the first two weeks of free agency just saying
• 53:35
  Now on to the final team that we have to talk about and that is the seahawks. So the seahawks
• 53:40
  Are in a bad situation
• 53:42
  Okay, they are in a really bad situation. All right
• 53:46
  So they are negative 11.3 million in cap space with a roll over cap of 8.4 million
• 53:51
  Free agents jaren reed feral brown jonathan hankins kvon wallace kaelin thomas and arty burns
• 53:57
  Ernest jones trey brown and trevis gibson just to name a few okay
• 54:03
  Draft picks first second third
• 54:05
  Second third fourth fifth two sixth round picks and set up around pick. Okay positions of need interior off-tide in corners safety receiver
• 54:14
  Okay, where do we start from here? So for one?
• 54:17
  You're in the red with cap space
• 54:19
  Two you have to figure out exactly what's going on with your offense and and whatnot moving forward
• 54:25
  Because apparently jeno smith posted like a cryptic tweet not too long ago of lebron
• 54:30
  You know getting up and leaving the conference when he was wearing the suit and whatnot
• 54:34
  So that probably lets me know that there's a little bit of discourse going on in seattle right now
• 54:41
  For one you have a few options. Okay interior offensive line
• 54:46
  Most likely you'll probably draft that
• 54:48
  Same thing with tight end same thing with corner same thing with safety and same thing with receiver
• 54:55
  Okay
• 54:55
  But with tight end you have a little bit of flexing because you could get someone like a colston loveland
• 55:01
  or you can get someone like a tyler warren or
• 55:05
  uh harold fanden fanden jr or
• 55:09
  I keep forgetting about what is his name?
• 55:11
  But I know he's a tight end from from miami who's like really productive like
• 55:16
  You have options that tighten the tight end class this year is actually pretty good, but corner
• 55:21
  Is a position that I think they can address and maybe day two and day three
• 55:25
  Only because I think of a slot corner and outside corner because I mean you have tari woolen and devin weatherspoon
• 55:30
  So you could go and get someone like a jade baron or maxwell harrison from kentucky
• 55:37
  You did well to well to well to well to well to quincey riley like you have some really good slot options
• 55:43
  This year believe it or not so
• 55:46
  You can address that day two or day three
• 55:49
  No problem compared to maybe safety or receiver safety
• 55:55
  Believe it or not
• 55:56
  And this is just my take personally that safety from south carolina
• 56:02
  He is going to be a problem
• 56:04
  If you put him on the right defense, he is going to be a menace to society
• 56:10
  6 3
• 56:11
  200 some pounds he is ready to go. He is let it be known. Listen, i'm gonna make some plays
• 56:19
  I'm that guy he's letting it be known between him and malachy starks
• 56:24
  I feel like those two are definite first round pick safeties
• 56:28
  But the question is do you want to invest a first round pick into a safety because receiver?
• 56:33
  It's not that good as I will continue to say so there's no need for you to do it
• 56:37
  Interior offensive line
• 56:39
  Do you really want to do that? I don't think so tight in now tied in for sure. Yes
• 56:44
  You could you know draft colston lovelin if you wanted to but all the other positions you can draft them day two and day three
• 56:51
  But I think the primary thing that you have to figure out is are you keeping jeno smith or not?
• 56:57
  If you are not keeping jeno smith
• 56:59
  Then you need to figure out exactly what you're going to do moving forward and you have to clean up your cap space
• 57:04
  When we move down to candidates for restructure extension trades and cuts tighter lock it either trade or cut
• 57:11
  at this point
• 57:12
  because
• 57:13
  Right now when we when we look at everything his base salary. Yes is only 10 million this year
• 57:18
  But his cap hit is 30.8 million
• 57:23
  30.8 million
• 57:26
  One or two things are going to happen either
• 57:28
  They're going to restructure that deal or they're just going to cut ties with them
• 57:32
  But the only problem is is tyler locket really going to have a strong market. No, I don't think so
• 57:38
  I think right now
• 57:40
  He probably has maybe one more good year
• 57:44
  And that's if he really wants to play I don't think he really wants to play
• 57:47
  I mean he has nothing else to prove. I mean you did everything you needed to do you won a super bowl
• 57:54
  You've had a really productive career like there's nothing else for you to prove at this point compared like a jeno smith where
• 58:01
  If they got rid of him
• 58:03
  It'll be a little bit tricky because why this year his base salary is only 14.8 million
• 58:10
  But his cap hit is 44.5 million
• 58:13
  And they did things that finish an experience of 2. после
• 58:17
  They our ch疫i
• 58:19
  That's how it finished
• 58:20
  They were driving really fast
• 58:23
  between
• 58:24
  They got some bad contracts
• 58:26
  they got a that they got to clean up and they got to clean it up really quickly if they want to try to really help
• 58:31
  this team out because the Donegie Brown is are really
• 58:34
  Competitive team that defense is really good
• 58:37
  breaking news breaking news breaking news folks Trey Smith guard for the
• 58:42
  Chiefs has been franchise-tagged okay because they are trying to work on a
• 58:46
  long-term extension okay this is being reported insiders including Adam Shepter
• 58:52
  Ian Rappaport the big ones okay the big wigs okay so with this franchise tag
• 58:58
  it's basically a one-year 23.4 million dollar deal fully guaranteed now
• 59:04
  technically this will make him the highest pay but we know that this is a
• 59:09
  placeholder for a long-term deal most likely they're going to get a deal done
• 59:14
  within the next few days okay they just didn't want him to you know hit free
• 59:19
  agency and then start you know talking with other teams and then you know the
• 59:22
  legal tampering period is you know right around the corner and whatnot so if
• 59:27
  this happens that means that everyone's free agency board is messed up now
• 59:33
  because if I'm not mistaken he is the number one sought-after free agent you
• 59:38
  know this year so maybe this will go in a good direction maybe this will go in
• 59:43
  the bad direction but only time will tell this is still an ongoing situation
• 59:47
  so stay tuned for that but but back to the Seahawks so when we look at you know
• 59:51
  extensions and whatnot Tyree Woolen I think you probably should give him an
• 59:55
  extension now I feel like there's no need to to wait just do it now because
• 1:00:01
  right now if you wait you run the risk of potentially having to pay him a
• 1:00:08
  little bit more next season because sauce is due for a contract soon are you
• 1:00:13
  gonna wait for sauce to get a deal or are you gonna be a little bit front and
• 1:00:18
  just hey let's just come to the table now let's get a deal hashed out right now
• 1:00:22
  before anything else crazy happens but all in all there's not a lot of stuff
• 1:00:27
  that they really have to work on except for you know Gino Smith Tyler Locking
• 1:00:31
  DK Metcalfe once they figure out those three contracts I think we will have a
• 1:00:35
  better view of their right now yet you're gonna have a little bit of a bump
• 1:00:41
  in you know in salary cap because you know everybody is getting a bump in
• 1:00:45
  salary cap but it's not going to be significant enough to where you guys can
• 1:00:50
  be big playmakers in free agency now me personally do I think they're going to
• 1:00:56
  keep all three no I think at best Tyler Lockett retires DK Metcalfe gets traded
• 1:01:03
  and Gino Smith gets traded and I think the Seahawks will probably either draft
• 1:01:09
  a quarterback or they'll just take a swing at like a bridge quarterback and
• 1:01:13
  then make the big move that they need to make for next year but I'm gonna end
• 1:01:18
  this episode here if you guys like what you are listening oh wait nope I forgot
• 1:01:22
  you thought this episode was over no it is not over because we have to react to
• 1:01:26
  the Mel Kuiper mock draft so I don't know what it is and I may have to rewatch
• 1:01:32
  his his footage but I just don't see it with Abdul Carter I don't know what it
• 1:01:37
  is but people are making it seem like he's like the next Michael Parsons or
• 1:01:41
  Julius Peppers or you know one of these top-end pass rushers like I just don't
• 1:01:45
  see it I see somebody that relies more on this athleticism than his skill set
• 1:01:50
  like I don't need an athletic pass rusher I need a technician a technician
• 1:01:57
  is going to last longer than an athletic pass rusher because guess what if one
• 1:02:02
  injury happens to that athletic pass rusher they're done because why you
• 1:02:06
  never worked on your skill set so now you're basically a sitting duck compared
• 1:02:11
  to a technician where his game can just evolve and it's just gonna age like wine
• 1:02:17
  even as he get older Pam Hayward is not this super athletic player but he's a
• 1:02:22
  technician when it comes to the use of his hands and whatnot same thing for
• 1:02:26
  Miles Garrett Miles Garrett's game is going to age very well because why he
• 1:02:30
  doesn't have to rely on his athleticism he relies on what his technique that is
• 1:02:36
  important here but moving on can war go second overall yeah I guess the giant
• 1:02:47
  pick Travis Hunter no well you know what no I take that back I take the back I
• 1:02:52
  take it back the only way this would happen is if they either get Sam
• 1:02:57
  Darnold Matthew Stafford or another quarterback I don't think that's gonna
• 1:03:01
  happen personally Patriots will Campbell yeah depends really me personally I could
• 1:03:09
  view him as a guard that's just my personal opinion I think he's better at
• 1:03:14
  guard than tackle because of how short his arms are but you know we'll find out
• 1:03:19
  you know his his measurements and whatnot in the coming days Jacksonville
• 1:03:24
  Jaguars they pick Mason Graham that's a great pick helps with the defense let's
• 1:03:28
  see let's keep this party going just get your door Sanders no I personally do not
• 1:03:35
  like this one I don't know what it is but your door
• 1:03:39
  Sanders when it comes to his ball placement I love it spot-on but there is
• 1:03:45
  nothing about your door Sanders that just screams a person that you can rely
• 1:03:51
  on to win you or to carry you to the playoffs I just don't see it but I could
• 1:03:55
  be wrong Panthers choosing Jaylen Walker that is an intriguing pick especially
• 1:04:00
  with them Shaq Thompson that they're going to let him go that could be
• 1:04:04
  definitely an intriguing pick because he probably could play both mill linebacker
• 1:04:09
  in outside linebacker honestly speaking ninth overall Tyler Warren to the Saints
• 1:04:14
  I actually like that because Spencer Rattler needs some weapons okay outside
• 1:04:19
  of Chris Harvey and Alvin Camara what else do you have adding Tyler Warren
• 1:04:22
  would definitely help out substantially Bears Joss Simmons yes yes
• 1:04:30
  doesn't need help at offensive line significantly 49ers choose Will Johnson
• 1:04:36
  we just talked about which is crazy so yeah I actually like that pig our boys
• 1:04:41
  getting a Marion Hampton no I do not like that personally I would have thought
• 1:04:45
  that they would either get a defensive player or that they would get a receiver
• 1:04:49
  and I only say that because that needs weapons okay outside of CD Lam who else
• 1:04:59
  do you really have and then not to mention you do need to address the
• 1:05:04
  offensive line as well because the offensive line is going through rebuild
• 1:05:08
  with them losing Zack Martin to retirement that whole offensive line is
• 1:05:13
  gonna have to go through rebuild like come on now the Dolphins getting Armand
• 1:05:19
  men boo from Mizzou I actually like that I definitely do like that he's a really
• 1:05:24
  good right tackle he is definitely somebody that I've definitely had my eye
• 1:05:28
  on if we didn't have Troy Fortuna specifically this I'm speaking for the
• 1:05:33
  Steelers just saying if we didn't have Troy Fortuna I would have definitely say
• 1:05:36
  go after him Colts getting Malachi Starks yes because I think their safety
• 1:05:41
  is a free agent so that would definitely make a lot of sense 15 the Falcons my
• 1:05:46
  green yes yes because they do need patch rusher help bad their patch rushers
• 1:05:53
  were not able to do anything and then with them trading Jude on they would
• 1:05:58
  have thought you know getting Jude on would definitely would have helped no it
• 1:06:01
  did not help it actually made things worse I don't know why 16th
• 1:06:07
  Samara Stewart to the Cardinals they've actually I can I can roll with that I
• 1:06:13
  can roll with that Samara Stewart is definitely somebody that could play in
• 1:06:19
  he can definitely be a really good productive patch rusher I think if the
• 1:06:23
  Cardinals really wanted to stand out and seem to build on that defensive line if
• 1:06:28
  you do that I guarantee you they will be a problem 17th pick Cincinnati
• 1:06:33
  Bengals select Michael Williams no comment no comment
• 1:06:39
  Seattle Seahawks choose Tyler Booker guard from Alabama I could see that I
• 1:06:45
  could definitely see that because all the other positions they can address
• 1:06:50
  that in the later parts of the draft as just said 19th pick Tampa Bay
• 1:06:54
  Buccaneers select G Ha Campbell yes to replace Levante David great pick up
• 1:07:00
  great great great great great great that will be a great let's see Denver
• 1:07:06
  Broncos choose Colston Loveland yes because they do need a really productive
• 1:07:09
  tight end 21 Pittsburgh Steelers and Mecca Bucca yes only because a Mecca
• 1:07:15
  Buccas is a Swiss Army knife and he can play both inside and outside and he's a
• 1:07:20
  really blocker so definitely not opposed to it me personally I would have thought
• 1:07:25
  you know address either corner or defensive line early but only time will
• 1:07:31
  tell this is interesting though throw a big mo that is interesting that's very
• 1:07:38
  interesting not because of the the plate well yes because of the player because
• 1:07:43
  if he does drop it's a major red flags but at the same time the Chargers do
• 1:07:49
  need weapons okay outside of lab McConkey Quinn Johnson he just haven't
• 1:07:53
  lived up to the hype he's a bus at this point you need as many receivers as you
• 1:07:57
  possibly can all right and he is somebody that can catch the 50-50 ball
• 1:08:02
  that's gonna be his specialty Packers choosing Ezra Thomas it's meant for
• 1:08:08
  Jair Alexander Minnesota Vikings choose Gray Zabel perfect he is somebody I was
• 1:08:16
  watching the senior bowl he definitely caught my attention because for them to
• 1:08:20
  move him into the interior part of the offensive line he was man man just to
• 1:08:26
  get somebody like him when you're offensive line come on man let's see 25th
• 1:08:31
  pick the Houston Texans select Kelvin Banks jr. well I could see him falling
• 1:08:41
  but at the same time I would be surprised especially for the Texans
• 1:08:47
  because the Texans do need offensive line help bad like CJ Stroud was right
• 1:08:51
  for life a majority of this season you have to surround him with a good
• 1:08:56
  offensive line otherwise he is not going to last long let's see Rams Rams choose
• 1:09:02
  a Connolly jr. tackle from Oregon yes because they do need to address
• 1:09:07
  offensive line as I will continue say the Ravens choose Nick Amanwari from
• 1:09:14
  South Carolina and I literally just had this argument with MOOC in the morning
• 1:09:20
  listen if they get him and you pair him with Kyle Hamilton it's like the
• 1:09:26
  Undertaker and Kane in the 90s the brothers of destruction you are talking
• 1:09:32
  about two safeties that are going to take your head off nothing else left to
• 1:09:38
  say moving forward lines they choose an outside linebacker alu wa Fahmy ala
• 1:09:47
  Dejo from UCLA they do need patch rusher help outside of you know Hutch I think
• 1:09:53
  I think this definitely would help now they did try to you know pass it up by
• 1:09:58
  Smith didn't really get a whole lot of production out of him so I think this
• 1:10:01
  would be a good move if they can't get you know Miles Garrett which please a
• 1:10:06
  little got please God no commanders choosing Maxwell Hairston yes I think
• 1:10:12
  that's actually a really good pick now I wouldn't expect for him to be a first
• 1:10:16
  round pick though personally I would have thought maybe get Trey Amos or
• 1:10:20
  Siobhan revel or any of those guys personally but Buffalo Bills Jadai
• 1:10:25
  Baron yes because they do need to address the cornerback position okay
• 1:10:30
  because that corner they drafted a few years ago Chi I was a Kyrie elam he's
• 1:10:37
  gone he's gone he is not coming back he has fallen out of their good graces okay
• 1:10:43
  Kansas City Chiefs choosing Arians a nursery tackle from Minnesota
• 1:10:48
  definitely could see that because that was definitely one of their weak points
• 1:10:51
  in the Super Bowl was their offensive line and we all know Andy Reid is going
• 1:10:55
  to address that position he is not going to go into another season with a bad
• 1:11:00
  offensive line rest assured they're going to lock up Trey Smith and they are
• 1:11:05
  definitely going to address the line in multiple different ways in the 30 second
• 1:11:09
  pick why why just why why why the Eagles choose Walter Nolan another defensive
• 1:11:21
