• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a r FM. Great to have you here on this Friday,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But not just any old run of the mill routine Friday.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's the day after Day one of the National Football
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: League Draft, and so much to react to from last
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: night's festivities and so many people we've lined up for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you today to react to all of the information that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we gathered last night in Pittsburgh. So much to discuss
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with you, and can't wait to get started. Time to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: roll back our sleeves here on a Friday and finish
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: out the week on a great note. Ashley Ryan is here.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: My name is Chuck Powell, and we are yours for
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the next four hours. Bucky Jacobson still out, but Ashley
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and I we've carried you through the entire Draftmas holiday
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: with the utmost Draftmas spirit. And I think maybe something
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: rubbed off on Ashley Ryan because she nailed every pick last.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know what Seahawks picked Jenarian praise.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: I was like running around the legendiar like yes, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: did it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you really didn't miss one in our Green
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Jacket Draft draft because you smartly took Reese because we
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: both left you with Reese or David Bailey at number
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: two to the Jets. So you just sometimes one accurate
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: pick has won our Green Jacket Draft draft for the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft, So Ashley pretty much spent two picks to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: make sure she had one and then nailed her next too,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: so you were really three for three.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: It was pretty fun.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: But I will say when the Jets at pick sixteen,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: when they didn't take Omar Cooper Junior, I was like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: dang it, Yes, I was so confident in that pick,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: and when they didn't take him, I was so bummed.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I'm not gonna win now, dang it,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: dang it, dang it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: And then when they did take him, I was like, yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: that should be the Jets new general manager.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: That happened so fast, beak. Toward the end of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: first round, there were so many trades, it was, it's busy.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I watched NFL network. I don't watch ESPN because Mike
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Greenberg's terrible, so I watch it NFL Network and so
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and I got some criticisms about them too, which we'll
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: get to in a little bit. But they were so
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: behind on who was making trades because there were so
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: many trades at the end that all of a sudden
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I looked up and like, how the Jets get up
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on the board. Nobody realized that. And then before I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: know it, I'm writing down Omar Cooper and I'm like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I actually got it after all. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: actually celebrated that the Jets didn't take him earlier and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: took Kenyon Sadik at sixteen, and now she ended up
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: getting it right anyway.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, I thank goodness I got my hands on
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: that twenty twenty six Sports Almanac.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It well good bit, Yeah, it worked out well, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: mean she won our green Jacket draft going away, There's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: no question about it. She even nailed the Seahawks pick
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jadarian Price, yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Which I've been calling them Jaendeian Price this whole time.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's because of me. So yeah, yeah, I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: just kind of screwed that up. But Jadarian Price we
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: will get to in a moment and at great length
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: throughout the course of the show here today. But I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: will just say, I will just say, I mean I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: put a lot into this, and I know that people,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: especially radio hosts, get don't like the pats on the back.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I got nine picks right last night in my mock
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: draft out of thirty two. Now the one I officially
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: turned in, I really only got eight. But I'm going
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to protest because I've been on David Bailey to the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Jets at this entire process. But I thought I read
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Jessemin and Rich Ps they wanted a mock draft from me,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and I don't even know if it ever got posted.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It did, but they wanted it from me. I thought
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: i'd read as I was getting ready to take my
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: nap that the Jets had decided on r Vel Reese.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: But it was one of those like things were somebody
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that wasn't. Actually it was just somebody spreading crap. Yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but I thought I was picking him just because I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: thought that was a done deal, right, But David Bailey was.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So I'm actually gonna claim that I got nine out
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of the thirty two picks last night, and that's better
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: than Daniel Jeremiah, and that is twice as good as
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what mel Kiper did. There you go, So you know what,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: we do. A lot of tongue in cheek, a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of goofing off during the month of draft miss, There's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: no question about it. But I would like for you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to know that you're actually getting some substantive analysis and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that maybe somebody knows what they're talking about. I have
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: pulled off the I'm the one that said Baker Mayfield
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: will be taking number one. Got made fun of it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for a month. I'm the person that told you six
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: out of twelve quarterbacks will go in the first twelve picks.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Six quarterbacks will be taken in the first twelve picks
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: two years ago. Nobody else was saying, remember that, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it happened. Person that told you Jeremiah Love a month
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and a half ago was going to be taken third
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: by the Arizona Cardinals. Those were my three bold three
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of the boldest things that I've said, and I got now,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I got plenty wrong, don't get me wrong, and we're
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: going to get into that. But I do want to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: take a little bit of time to pat Ashley on
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the back, myself on the back, because it's not just
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not just the material stuff during the holiday,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it's not just about it's not just about all the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: hype and the hoopla. There's a substantive element to celebrating
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: drafting and learn stuff, and I don't want people to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: forget about that. It's not just commercial draft miss right.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: The commercial draft mess is run a muck. At the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: heart of it are the draft picks, the draft analysis
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that we hope that we get across to you in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the last month. And so I think we did pretty
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: damn well, the two of us.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I would agree, And I would like to say thank
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: you for the excellent Draftmas catalog that really helped.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: And I'm fairly good guessing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Well she did guess right on Jadarian Price the running
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: back out of Notre Dame as the draft was unfolding,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of interesting. I don't know if people
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: stuck around to hear the post draft comments from John
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and Mike, but there was this sort of everybody in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the media hord Seattle media horde sort of reported that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: there was a bit of a subdued sort of reaction
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: afterwards to the draft pick, which normally isn't the case.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah they're pumped, Yeah, yeah, Usually you're like, I can't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: wait to talk about our guy or new guy. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: there certainly was an element of that. I know they
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: liked Jadiaryan Price, and I know they wanted Jedarian Price,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: but there was certainly a little bit of a Paul
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: casted Paul casted over it because the Seahawks were, and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: they admitted it, looking to trade down they want and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: this was the first this is your best pick, this
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is your highest pick, so this is the one where
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you can get the most draft capital in return for
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So they were planning the entire time, and there weren't
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of trades last night. For the first half.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It was like the perfect amount. I think there were three.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They were all sort of minor, nothing major. There wasn't
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: any big like I moved up from the bottom of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the draft to the top of the draft.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, two and three spots that people were moving.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Right, So there was no Falcons got up to get
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Julio Jones or Chiefs got up to get Patrick Mahomes.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: There wasn't any of that that went, and so it
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: was this great balance, you know, there were three trades.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it was good. Most people were sticking and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: picking where they were, which I thought was great. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, and John usually doesn't get
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: caught off guard. He's usually knows what everybody's up to.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden right there, toward the end of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the draft, everybody started trading all the picks. So Buffalo
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: traded out twice. San Francisco traded out and traded up.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, Kansity did stick, Miami traded twice, New England
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: traded twice. And so here are the Seahawks that they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: were planning on being the team that traded out at
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: thirty two and.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Were having the old prime spot, hoping to.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Get Jadarian price if they moved down and pick up
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of extra picks. But Ty Simpson had already
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: come off the board, so he went early. So there
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: went the Cardinal trade partner that we were all speculating
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: about to move up into the thirty second spot to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: get Simpson, and then all those other teams that John
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sure did his homework on that were willing to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: move into the first round and not just to get
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: their guy, but to get their guy that they liked.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: On the possible five year deal, you know, you get
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to keep that first round or you have the option
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to pick him up for a fifth year. So there
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was some value in that, and so John I'm sure
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: had his trade partner possibilities lined up, but they all
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: traded with somebody else before he could get there. So
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: suddenly the well had run dry. The Seahawks were sitting
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: there at number thirty two. They did make their phone calls,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get another dance partner, and so they decided
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: just to stick and pick, and they went with Jadarian
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Price the running back out of Notre Dame, which I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody had a problem with, including them. They
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: wanted him, They just wanted him and some extra stuff
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: yea out of it. But they end up satisfying what
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: we all perceived was their greatest need. With ken Walker
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: having left town for riches in Kansas, City, and they
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: now have a running back which I would envision is
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: going to be the guy for the first time in
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: his life that's going to get the most carries on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: this team going forward. So for all of those that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: felt we got to get a running back in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: first two days, I don't care when, but in the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: first two days, we got your running back. They got
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the best running back on the board, the consensus best
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: running back on the board, not named Jeremiah Love. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: get a guy with all the tread left on his
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: tires because he wasn't used and abused like a lot
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of college running backs are. And yet they've got a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: guy who's two hundred and three pounds and has never
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: been a workhorse. So we don't know how durable he is. No,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it's not fair to say he's not durable. We just
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if he is durable. I mean, that's ten
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to fifteen pounds lighter than ken Walker entering the National
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Football League. And ken Walker was a workhorse at Michigan
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: State and at Wake Forest I believe it was before
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Michigan State, So there are durability questions. Not that Jderian
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Price as some fragile player that kept getting injured and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: sent to the sidelines. But because he's slightly underweight for
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a number one running back and he's never gotten more
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: than fifteen touches in a college football game, so that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the concern with him. But other than that, everybody seems
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to really like this guy. I think he's got a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: really big upside. Hell, Rob rang even went as far
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Ashley to say that he doesn't think there's that much
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: separation between Love and Price. I disagree with that, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: just for that to come out of the mouths of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a guy who studies this thing like nobody, that's quite
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the statement to make. So I think it's a good pick.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's a solid pick. I think it was
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a need. I think they satisfied that need, and I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: think they got their favorite running back in the draft
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not named Jeremiah Love. So they felt good about it.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: They just would have felt better about it had they
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: got him at thirty nine and picked up a couple
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: extra picks.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because that's all the way John operates, for sure.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: But the second that the Rams took Simpson at thirteen,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: I thought, oh that's gonna be. There goes what the
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Seahawks wanted to do. There goes their plan, which we
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: don't have confirmation that that was their plan, was to
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: trade with the cardinals, but that's what.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: We assumed, right, was that made the most sense.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Seemed like a possibility.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Yea, it seemed like a possibility, and thought and then
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: I just sat there thinking, well, what are they what
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: direction are they going to go? Is Jeddarion Jadarian Price
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: even going to be available? And as it was going
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: and going and going and that he wasn't, I thought,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: we're going to get all the way there and there's
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: there's still going to be some sort of trade that's
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: going to come around. But then, you know, as you said,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: more and more trades were happening, I was like, there's
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: just there's no way.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: It was just a flurry. NFL network couldn't keep up.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was crazy. And so I was glad with
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: the with the way it ended up. I'm glad that
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: we we didn't try to make something out of nothing
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: by finding some trade partner that we didn't really need
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: or that wasn't going to work. And so uh, going
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: with Jadari and sorry, that's gonna be.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Really hard to make that transition, I.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Know, going with Jadarion Price I thought it was great
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: you take care of something that you really did need.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: And uh, and I'm excited to see what happens with you.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. I mean, maybe it's not best case scenario,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: but it's certainly a case scenario, right, I mean, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: don't think things went wrong for the seek.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, last nay scenario. You're adding draft and getting them and.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Still getting the player. But I mean, we didn't talk
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: about this, like if I mean, they don't want to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: ever acknowledge that we're drafting for need, and I don't know, well,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that's not true. I've heard John acknowledge that, so that's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that would be a poor representation of that. But most
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: people that we just want to follow our board. There
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: was certainly a recognition that that was a need. Otherwise
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you're not taking price at that point. And certainly, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I think this is really important to this conversation, because
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you could have tried to play the game and slipped down,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and maybe you could have gone like not just high
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: second round, but mid second round and picked up some
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: extra stuff doing that. But I really do believe that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you're playing with fire at that point. I had by
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the end of the draft miss process. I had kind
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of come to the conclusion we're either getting Price and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Washington early or or we're not taking a running back
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: until day three because there's such a drop off I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: felt after Jedarian Price and Mike Washington Junior, who we
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: talked about so much during this and we'll never know
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: if they valued Mike Washington Junior next in line. We'll
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: never know that. But if you don't stick and pick,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you leave yourself vulnerable overnight
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to somebody saying somebody liking Jadarian Price more than you realized,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and then they move up overnight, or they just take
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: him in front of you, depending on where you land
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in the second round. And then because the drop off
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: occurs after Washington, you also run the risk of possibly
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: losing him. I'm not sure where Mike Washington's gonna land tonight,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: but I have a feeling it's not gonna be before.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling he's not gonna last till sixty
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: four where they're picking in the second round of the draft.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So to me, I think just think it was under
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the circumstances, really good business. We like the player, we
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: have a need at running back. We don't have a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: lot of needs here, but we have one at running back.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: This is just something we can check off the list,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: one less thing to worry about in this offseason. And
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: so let's just get our guy. Let's stick and pick,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: let's stay and play, let's settle and meddle, let's pop
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and lock. Yeah, let's just sit and spin. Ye, whatever
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever you want to do, let's just do it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Let's just go ahead and take our guy. Not worry
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: about it overnight, not worry about it tomorrow. And worst
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: case scenario here, we only you know, we have our
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: favorite running back that we had access to. Yeah, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that's to me a fine pick.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: And you don't have to be the smartest person in
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: the room all the time, right, You can just do
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: the thing that makes the most sense.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: And in this case, it made the most sense.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: You don't need to overthink it, you don't need to
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: overcomplicate it. Just make your move, pick your guy and
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: move on. Try it rather than trying to make everything even,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: you know, just because it seems like with John he could, right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: He's got so much going on in that brain that
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: we don't understand or know, and so he could have
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: tried to be the smartest guy in the room, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: you know, tried to pull off something here and something
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: there and thinking like, Ooh, if I do this, then
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: this could happen, and this could happen. But if the
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: first round taught us anything it was that that was
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: all over the board, that was crazy with all those
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: So I wouldn't have expected that coming into tonight, you're
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: gonna have anything that you could have pre planned.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: What is it that coaches what I guarantee you John
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and Mike McDonald have had conversations with even Sam Darnold.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Certainly John had him with Russell, certainly had him with Gino.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And what is it that they all always say? What
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: is the quarterback? Color? Analyst in the booth and every
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: game always say about the quarterback play? You know, take
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the profit. Can't go broke taking a profit. Don't worry
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: about going for it on the big play or squeezing
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it downfield. If you you'll, you'll make a good living
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and take what the defense gives you. Take what the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: draft gives you. And the draft was not speaking to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you know you being able to throw a bomb downfield
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: for an eighty yard touchdown pass. But Jadari on price
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to me is hey, that's a first down, we move
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the sticks. Yeah, you know it was third and six
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and we got a seven yard gain and we moved
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the sticks with Jadari on price and and to me
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that take a profit. That's a good football play, both
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: on the field and off the field.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I fully agree.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: But do you think we could get him to change
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: his name to Jedaium because it seems.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Is going to be hard.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we are underway here. We got a
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: lot to recap today. Do you want to let you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: know your cash word today Grand Slam? Cash word today
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: is fun? Enter that at ninety three three KJR dot
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: com for your shot at one thousand dollars used in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a sentence. It's not fun to remember this every hour.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: rest of the show. What's on TEPF, what's on tep Well,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to do with the NFL Draft.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: We're not just going to talk about what the Seahawks did. Obviously,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: there is a lot of stuff to break down, so
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: we'll get into that at six point thirty. What happened
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: throughout the draft in the National Football League. I know
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you're interested in that, as well, Day number two, though,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: will start I believe four o'clock tonight. I should have
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: checked that, but it usually does. Hawks do have two
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: picks on day number two. They'll be just rounds two
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and three today and then rounds four through seven on Saturday.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Right now, they have the sixty fourth pick and the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: ninety sixth pick. I'm sure they're going to try to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: move one of those to try to get an extra
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: pick out of this draft. But you're not, as I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, going to get the same kind of return
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that you would have for a first round pick, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that should be obvious to every one. So we'll see.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll stick and pick again.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Or stay and play oh, settle and metal.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe they'll pop in a lock sixty four
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and at ninety six of course, Uh, day number three,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: we'll have our head coach present at day number three.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: It sounds like Mike McDonald's going to work Saturday. Oh
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he is right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: That's good to be there for all of the parts
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: of the draft, right, most coaches would do that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, yep, yep, yep, yep. And if I could
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: just give him any advice, Mike McDonald, not that he
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: needs it. He's the best coach arguably in the world
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: right now. But just stay away from Diana Russini. Yeah please, yeah, yeah,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: please just dissever all she tries to give you any
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: like advice too on how to handle messy things.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Don't listen to that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, she's a she's a she's a.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: She's pretty terrible at it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: She's a liar, yes she is. So, Mike Rabel's not
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: going to be participating a Saturday This, I mean, this
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is what everybody is talking about.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Everybody.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't talked about it a lot because,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, with the draft and the Mariners and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: NBA playoffs and Stanley Cup playoffs and cracking deciding that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we're going to send the message that we're turning over
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: every stold, we can't even get to that topic. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to try to make enough room to satisfy the people
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that can't get enough of Rabel and Russini, it is impossible. Yeah,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: But if I was basing this show today on what
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I see on social media, all we talk about today
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: is Rabel and Russini.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Well, because it seems that every day it just gets worse.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable, what this story has become Mike Rabel has all
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: but confessed to the crimes of an extra marital affair
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: with Diana Russini, who still hasn't admitted to.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: It, but she did deactivate her Twitter account.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yep. And from a football perspective, he's just
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: not going to be on Saturday. He's going to start
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: marriage counseling Saturday.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: He's going to be there for his family.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, starting now right right right, the most important people
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: in his life.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Who about time he decided to be there for.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Six year affair kind of feels to me like Diana
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Russini's the most important person in your life. Sure seem so,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: why don't you be there for her? Or is the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: counseling with Diana Russini? He never did clearly clarify that
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Mariners will be in Saint Louis tonight. First pitch five
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: point fifteen to take on the Cardinals. George Kirby versus
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Andre Pollant. We've got the pitching advantage there. NBA Playoffs,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it was the night of the underdog last night. The
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks are up on the next two to one.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Please Hawks win that series. I want to see the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: complete meltdown by Knicks fans, and that will be a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: complete meltdown the Minnesota Timberwells. Jane McDaniels may be on
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to something the Nuggets can't defend, and last night the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Wolves just took it to the Nuggets.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Even without Anthony Edwards for a good portion of that four.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Wolves are up two to one now in the series,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and Toronto won last night as well, one twenty six
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to one oh four over Cleveland, so they win their
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: first game of the series. Cleveland still up two to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: one tonight Boston at Philly, Lakers at Houston, San Antonio
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: at Portland. Wimbin Yama did make the trip despite the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: concussion that he suffered in Game number two, which gives
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: him a chance to play tonight, So we shall see
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs Buffalo, Carolina and Colorado, where all winners
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: last night. Carolina and Colorado are both up three to zero,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: but those have been tight games. Carolina, I mean, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: feel bad for Otawa. They've played Carolina toe to tow
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and yet don't have a win to show for it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: And then tonight it will be Edmonton and Anaheim, Vegas
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and Utah first home playoff game ever in Utah franchise
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: history and Tampa Bay at Montreal. All right, coming up
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: next the National Football League Draft last night. We certainly
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: will talk more about Jadarian Price later with our experts,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: but there was a draft to break down some fantastic
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: drama inside the NFC West that I can't wait to
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: talk about. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. With
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the thirteenth pick in the twenty twenty six NFL Draft,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Ram select.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Ty Simpson quarterback Alabama.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And as three hundred and twenty thousand people in attendance
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: reacted and millions watching at home reacted with wow, there
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: was one guy that reacted with damn it, son of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: a god, and it turns out it was Sean McVeigh.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to tell you this story here in
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a moment, Joe, It's Chuck and Ashley with you. Day
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: number one is in the books for the nf fell Draft,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and it was great. I mean it was glorious. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: mean really good balance to the night. A lot of
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: trades took place, but not too many early that kind
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of threw it all off. I thought there was a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: nice rhythm to it all. They cut it down to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: eight minutes the time between picks this year, and yet.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Still took the same amount of time, took.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: The exact same amount of time because they just kind
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of stockpiled them rather than move on. So we were
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: at one point they were like three picks ahead, which
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: we'll talk more about in a moment. But there's some
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: other things to discuss, including Jadarian Price. Ashley and I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: have already discussed Jadarian for fifteen minutes this morning, and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: we'll continue to do that throughout the show.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from Greg Bell at seven oh five, Rob
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Rang at eight thirty, and Hugh Millan from nine to
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: nine forty here today, but I do want to take
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: some time talk about the rest of the draft. The
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: number one pick, Fernando Mendoza. It was weird that Las
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Vegas took almost the entire time on the clock. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: mean they've had months like you don't need fifteen more
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: minutes with your logo being shown on the television, you know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: it was. It's just strange. And then he's just a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: little bit of strange. He's just an odd little character.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I root for him. I hope he ends up being
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a great leader of men. I know he was a
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: great leader of young men. I know at Indiana they
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: love him, yeah, And I know at cal they love him,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: even though they all admit he's a little goofy. But
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see how it's going to impact thirty
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: two year old millionaires. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: about that. It's the one question I have about Mendoza.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, he obviously got some coaching on public speaking,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and so now he just gives really short, smiley answers
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and then smiles and says God bless at the end.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Which maybe he's just not a good public speaker.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: He's just awesome teammate and the most supportive human ever,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: and people are gonna love him that way.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: And I mean, I will say there are certain aspects of.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Him that remind me a lot of Russell Wilson when
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: he came into the NFL, because he was such a
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: goofy nerd, right, I mean, wearing his Hawaiian shirts and
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: he just kind of stood out like a sore thumb.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: But people liked him then.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: And so it wasn't until.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: He decided that he was too cool, too cool, that
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden all talked into that all these
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: problems happened, but it doesn't seem like Fernando Mendoza has
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: the same kind of ego. Yeah, well that and he doesn't.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: He's not going to be as he's not going to
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: be talked into things from other people. He seems comfortable
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: in who he is at least well, uh.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: We'll say. I mean I root for him. I mean,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: this might be the greatest student of the game that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: we've seen since Peyton Manning, and maybe even more so.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I mean he's like memorized all of Las Vegas's playbook,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: all of the Raiders history. Like that's the impression that
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: he's made on people. So he's going to work and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he's tough as nails and he's really good too. So
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I hope it works out for him. Maybe not the Raiders,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: but I hope it look works out for him. I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: had the number two, Big David Bailey, the addresser out
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of Texas Tech. Again, I thought there was some smoke
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: thrown at the end and it threw me off. But
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it sounds like the Jets never really did consider anybody else,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and I do think this is the right choice. I mean,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: one thing that was not discussed. There were four Ohio
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: State players taken in the first eleven picks last night,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: three defensive players. That was just a phenomenal defense. And
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I think one thing that doesn't get discussed enough. I mean,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: we always talk about during the college season quarterbacks being
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: products of the system, you know, we don't talk about
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: it on defense hardly at all. And we also don't
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: give credit to the guy that actually was great and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't surrounded by all that talent. And don't get me wrong,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Text Tech was a playoff team. They were surrounded by talent,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: But how do we know that Ohio's date wasn't all
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: those individual players didn't look better than they are because
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of the sum of the parts. Where David Bailey, I
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: watched a few games of David Bailey, and yeah, he's
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: got Lee Hunter, and he's got Jacob Rodriguez. He had
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: talent around him, but I watched him in their biggest
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: games just dominate teams. And so to me, he is
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a plug and play step in day number one, probably
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: gonna be a double digit sack guy his very first
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: year in the National Football League. So I thought it
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was the right choice. I'm going to defend the Arizona
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: choice too, even though a lot of people are slamming it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I mean the running back debate of if you don't
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: take a running back this high, not in today's game,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it falls flat because he's not just a running back.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: You do take somebody that is going to get you
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yards rushing and nine hundred more yards receiving. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: you know somebody that impacts both phases of your offense.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You're damn straight. That's where that's a that's a receiver
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and a running back in one. You don't think Christian
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey was worth his pick in the draft. You don't
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: think Bjon Robinson was worth his pick in the draft.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, Saquon Barkley weren't worth their pick in the draft.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: He's in that. He's in that group, and I think
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: he was. He's worth that pick in the draft.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: When you mentioned Christian McCaffrey and yesterday, oh that alone
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: right there, I was like, yep, that whatever pick you
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: get him out.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: If you can get Christian McCaffrey, you take him. So
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: I have no problem with them doing it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, they had other needs, but again they're also trying
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: to please a fan base. He's probably a little frustrated
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: with them, and that's a good way to.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Do it well, and they did whenever they floated out there,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and it sounds like it was the owner that wanted him,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: even though they were trying to play it off like
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the general manager didn't really want him. Well, they looked
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: really happy last best. They looked ecstatic last night. But
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: as soon as they kind of floated it out there
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and they got their fan base, the entire city of
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Phoenix is like obsessed.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Became obsessed with the idea of Love being on the team,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and then there was really no pulling it back. Then
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: if they anounce anybody else last night, they're going to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: just crush their fan base. Instead, they exhilarated them. Yes,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: and I think Jeremiah Love is going to be fantastic,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And that's not great news for Seahawk fans because we
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: have face from twice a year going forward. The first
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Wow pick was the fourth pick Carnell Tate to Tennessee.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Didn't see that coming. And as much as I like
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Carnell Tait and I've professed that, helly, he was on
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: my college Big ten fantasy team that we did, I
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: think he's great, But I didn't expect that he would
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: be the first Ohio State Buckeye off the board, and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: yet he was fourth overall to Tennessee. So that was
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the first wow moment, So people.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Weren't worried about the forty, is what you're saying.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty clear at this point. Yes, but
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the biggest wow moment was certainly the Ty Simpson pick
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: at number thirteen to the Los Angeles Rams. And it
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: was wow enough. But if you didn't stick around like it,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: you know, wife thinks I'm already goofy enough that I've
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: been watching, you know, players get picked for four hours here.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I can't watch the post game wrap up as well. Well,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I do this for a living. I did watch the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: post wrap up. So what you might not be privy
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: to is the videos that are going on out there
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: showing the press conference afterwards with less need the Rams
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: GM and Sean McVay, the head coach. And it is
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: so obvious, so obvious that Sean McVay is not only
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: not on board with this pick, that he hates the pick,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: that he's pissed at Snead for making it, even to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the point where when Sneid called Simpson to tell him
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: McVeigh wasn't even in the room. They had to call
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: McVeigh in the room. And then McVeigh gets on the phone,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and then because it's TI's moment, he puts the smile
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: on some congratulations looking forward to working with you, which
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he is. Yeah, but he's spent the rest
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: of the evening pissed off, And he spent the rest
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: of the evening making sure everybody knew this is Matt
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Stafford's team for as long as he wants it to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: be his team, and Stetson Bennett is our backup.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Huh yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: So he announced right there in front of less Need
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that you just drafted a third string quarterback with the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: thirteenth overall pick. We are this close to being the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: best team in the National Football League. We got to
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: chase down the Seahawks. We had the thirteenth pick in
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the draft, which we weren't supposed to have. We kind
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of walked into that. And now you're not gonna give
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: me a piece that helps me be better than the
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Seahawks for the next two to three years. Are you
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: out of your flipping mind?
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: You're gonna give me someone that might play in four years,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: three years, and.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: He won't even be around by then, because if you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: saw last night, there is a divide between those two guys.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I'm here for the drama. Yes,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: it was fantastic and I can't wait to talk more
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: about a little bit later on in the show.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: But trust me, they're getting ripped apart today for the
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: pick too.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: There is no getting around it. Less Sneed went out
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: on his own. It's feeling very much like he personally
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: made the decision because he told the Simpson family, who
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: he knows, that your son's definitely a first rounder. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: then the process played out and nobody was wanting to
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: take him in the first round, and Sneid, it's as
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: if he took Simpson because he told the Simpson family,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: your son should leave college and enter the draft because
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: he's definitely a first rounder, and no one else saw
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: him that way. And so he gave up the thirtieth
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft, which he had to get McDuffie,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and so he only had the thirteenth, and it's as
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: if Sneid was just trying to keep his word to
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the Simpson family. So he took Simpson thirteen overall and
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh didn't want any part of it.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: I don't blame him, and it is aw yes, get
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: out the popcorn all right?
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Coming out? Next, we'll hear from Jadarian Price on Sports
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KHARFM headlines coming away at
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock. Reg Bell, that's seven oh five. His thoughts
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: on Jadarian Price the Seahawks. They stuck and picked don
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: all sound the same way when you do it past them?
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Stuck and pucked.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: He sticked and picked the stick.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: They stucked and pucked.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Stucked and pucked. A stick and pick move by John
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Schneider last night at thirty two, taking the Notre Dame
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: running back Jadarian Price. We'll get Greg's reaction to that
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: at seven o five here this morning, and of course
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Hugh Mellen will be joining us in studio at nine
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: o'clock today. Rob rang at eight thirty. So we're bringing
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: in all of our football Seahawk draft experts yet today
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about what happened last night. We're not talking
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: about a trade down, that's for sure. Our next person
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: we're going to hear from is not trade down. McGee.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: This is Jadari and Price, who last night got to
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: meet got introduced over the phone to the Seattle media
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: horde for the very first time, and then got picked
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: apart by Greg Bell and company asking him all sorts
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: of invasive questions. But I figured you'd want to hear
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: what Jadarian Price sounds like the morning after he was
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: drafted by the Seahawks. So here's Jadari.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: You hear a lot of things, and being me, being
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: the person I am, I tried not to listen to
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: all the noise in the media and nf I Network
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: and everything, but I knew that Seattle was was pretty
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: interested in me, and you know, they knew that the
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: type of player I was, what I bring for the program.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: And you know, I'm just I didn't know what exactly
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: gonna happen, But I'm I'm I'm so blessed to be
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: in this position and be picked by Yes, what made
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: you think?
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: What made you believe the Seahawks interest here? What was
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: it about you or your fit or your mesh with
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: them when you talk to him?
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, me and the runners back coach for Hammick. We
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: had a couple of good conversations, one at the Combine
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: and then one zoom where we were just talking about
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: forty five minutes and yeah, just just the straight ball
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: and then getting to know each other and it just
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: felt like it was going to be a good fit
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: In this case.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: The price is right, Yeah, I was thinking the same thing,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Figures saying it Janarian price is the selection and yeah,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: came across really well.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: That is nothing surprising for myself. For Greg Bell, he
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: and I have discussed this a lot over the last
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: two or three years. There is definitely been a lean
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: in this organization toward they want character guys, and that's
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: not the case in every NFL front office. I mean,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles won a world championship this way, but they
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: drafted the biggest turd in the draft last night. And
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not surprised because they like collecting turds in Philadelphia.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: But all get along with Jalen Hurts.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks have approached it a completely different way here
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the last two or three years, and obviously it's worked
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: out swimmingly. And there's another one not only you know,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: he's you know, one of those yes sir, thank you
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: maam kind of guys based on what you just heard
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: right there, great student kind of have to be to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: go to Notre Dame also somebody that was loyal. He
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: was a backup in the NIL era, in the transfer
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: portal era. The entire time he was okay, which maybe
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that's a little bit of a red fag somebody, I
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, but not to the Seahawks that they were
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: that he was like, I'm backing up the best running
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: back in the country. I'm going to get my touches
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: and guess what, when I get to the National Football League,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: all the treads beautifully going to still be on my tires.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: And so they like that about him, and it's one
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: of the things that they greatly factor into their draft
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: picks now, which they weren't doing for a while. Let's
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: face yeah, but Judari and Price seems to check that
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: box as well. We're gonna talk more about Price with
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell coming up here at seven and five. Also,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: we got your headlines next Sports Radio ninety three point
